Wow! This place is a hidden gem in the middle of Redding. I would never have thought Redding to have so much diversity but here is a little Thai restaurant with such amazing flavors! This food could easily compete with offerings from the bay area! Their pat Thai has perfect balance of sweet sour and salty flavors. Their curries have amazing flavor and texture packed with traditional ingredients. Lastly their mango coconut rice is the perfect dessert to compete your meal. My wife and I would be willing to come back to Redding just to have more of this restaurant.

The food was amazing. We went in for some soup and the bowl was insanely huge; big portions. The food tasted delicious and was cooked at a reasonable pace. The staff were friendly and checked on us a reasonable amount. The restaurant was clean and lively. Great value.

It took long research on what restaurant to visit while passing Redding, Ca, came to a conclusion Champa Garden would be a good match . Arrived around 1pm and although not so busy many had walked in after. The young woman that greeted us was very nice and allowed us to choose our table. We’re a table of 2 but didn’t want to sit at a small table because I knew I would be ordering a few dishes. I scoped out the menu the night before so I knew what I wanted… The Lao style sausage w a side of sticky rice, papaya salad and a noodle dish. I mean the sausage is uncommon in my area so I had to get it, can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a good papaya salad and we opted for the good ol’ pad se ew. Lao style sausage – I love that each piece was fried to perfect crispiness, the overall flavor was amazing – you can taste the lemongrass, galangal, chilies, cilantro and it paired well with the sweet chili sauce. Papaya salad – so addicting with every bite you can’t help but want to eat more as you fight the spiciness and tears from the heat. I usually add a couple of Thai chilies to my papaya salad but I’m glad I said just 1, Never had papaya salad with a side of rice noodles but I really enjoyed it and will definitely start pairing my salad with it from now on. Pad Se ew – I appreciate people that can adapt to their surroundings for instance, pad se ew typically uses gailan (Chinese Broccoli) instead they use American broccoli and carrots. The flavor was all there and tasted delicious!

You gotta try the Champa special fried rice—look at that juicy shrimp! The rice is lusciously tossed in a Tom Yum style dressing and the tomatoes add the perfect umami balance. Paired with fresh spring rolls starter and noodle soup, it’s a perfect way to warm the tummy on a cold winter’s day. The staff are so friendly too.

My only complaint has to do with the service. The food was tasty, and the hostess was super friendly, offering water while we waited for a table. However, her energy felt rushed. The whole atmosphere feels rushed. She offered us a menu while we were waiting and then asked if we wanted her to take our order before sitting down. That should have been a red flag that they would try to rush us out so they could turn the table. I probably would have been fine with all of that, but when the waiter brought our food, he flung it onto the table so fast it gave me whiplash. No interaction with us. My husband asked for another beer. We weren’t sure he even heard us, but a couple of minutes later he brought a beer, saying, “You asked for another beer, right?” I’m happy this place is popular and that they’re able to turn tables around so fast, but the place feels rushed and not the type of restaurant that makes you feel welcome to sit and enjoy your food. This place would be great if the waitstaff just took a couple of extra seconds to acknowledge their customers. There is room for improvement. To the male waiter — you do not need to power-walk around the restaurant flinging food onto the tables. It ruins the ambiance. Slow down a little; it would make for a much better experience for your customers.

Arriving late in town, we chose Champa Garden Thai for dinner. The noodle soup and Thai iced tea were delightful. However, an unusual issue arose with our seating - the chairs were freshly painted and the paint hadn't dried, leading to it sticking to our clothes. While this caused some inconvenience, especially to my new light grey pants, the response from the staff was commendable. The manager/owner came out to apologize personally and even refunded our meal as a gesture of goodwill. Exceptional customer service in light of an unexpected situation!

Tasty food. Good service. Husband enjoyed his. Good on the noodles and the sauce. I liked the sauce on mine, but not the best for me regarding the fried tofu — bit over fried — chewy spongy. Maybe a bit more on the expensive side versus other Thai places we’ve eaten. It’s tough to judge these days plus we are road tripping. Overall, we’d eat here again. :)

Was a little skeptical at first about this restaurant. However, glad we went and tried. This place is good. This was our first time trying Laos cuisine. Similar to Thai but definitely had a unique taste. The Pho was great as well! Our appetizer came in just a tad bit salty but the rest was awesome. Recommend if you wanna try something different.

The people who work there are completely incompetent, and the food is terrible. I placed a phone order for a pineapple fried rice and was quoted 15 minutes. When I arrived, the guy couldn't locate my order and finally found it on the counter. I gave him my credit card and went to the restroom to wash my hands, and they left the food unsupervised, and someone else took the food. I spent another 15 minutes waiting for my order. When I finally got the food, it was very greasy, undercooked, and smelled like old rice. I couldn't even eat half of the food and ended up going somewhere else. I don't understand how they have such positive ratings.
