And now we moved here in California and of course i gotta have their food again. This lovely lady gave us a free thai tea! Thank you! 😚

Love the spicy basil fried rice and pad Thai! They only have few chairs so make sure to come early.

Food is excellent! Highly recommend the eggplant Thai basil dish. So good. As Tuco would say - it’s tight, tight, tight!

I LOVE coming here! They have good portions and everything is always fresh. The staff is very nice and they have many different options for drinks and food.

Went here for dinner on a weekend. The place was not at all busy. It seemed like a cheap Chinese place. Chairs stowed behind seating and bathrooms without tissues. However, I'm ready to forego all this since the food was decent. We ordered Vegetable Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay, Thai Suki Noodle Soup with some more dishes. The spring rolls were decent. Satay and the soup was a highlight. I will definitely come back for more here. The server definitely told us that all curries have non-vegetarian sauces. So this is something that everyone vegetarian should ask before ordering.

So far my favorite Thai food place in Tri Valley.. Mango fried rice and the fish is good combo. I also tried the Thai bbq, Pad Thai, Pad See, they are all good.

Very tasty Thai! Got the mango curry fried rice and the beef pad Kee mao and had to try the orange chicken plate because I've been craving it for a long time. Will have to come back and try other dishes!

The best Tom Kha soup I ever had . Must try !

Ok place, for take out! Not a very welcoming atmosphere inside, including not so welcoming lady (owner?) The food was fine, we liked everything we ordered...and that's the most important thing. Fairly priced, too! I'll give it another shot at some point.

The food is just okay, not really authentic and tasty. We ordered spicy favor but they were very sweet. Will probably not come to visit again.

It was good, cheap Thai food. Ordered Pad Thai and it was a bit heavy on the sauce, but I still finished the plate.

We went there due to rating which is all fake! Food taste on par bad.. below avg. No salt, no good spice either. Looks like fish was just dumped with sauce. Not worth. Asked for suggestions what is preferred on the menu that was not pleasant either. Looks like owner is trying a hard sell all items forcibly to guests! Not going to visit ever again.

Ordered singapore bihun, roti curry as appetizer, and yellow curry... the appetizer came together with main dishes.. the curry bland to sweet n the bihim not.good... seems the chef use too much sugar.. but the place full with customers.. a lot of crowd..

This place is incredibly noisy and unhygienic. We ordered pad kee mo and basil fried rice, but I’m not sure what I’m actually eating. It’s astonishing that they couldn’t cook Thai food. The fried rice is burnt and flavorless, and the pad kee mo is dry and lacks sauce. If there were zero stars, they would definitely deserve them. Ironically, the service is so bad that they demand huge tips.

It’s really a shame because the food tastes good, but how good can it be if there are bugs in it? My parents ate here last night and brought home their leftovers for me, I was really looking forward to the eggplant, as I am pregnant and that’s the size of my baby currently. Well I went to take a bite and noticed something that looked off about the eggplant. Well it was a bug. All nestled into the meat of the eggplant. And the bug looked just like the cockroaches in a place I lived temporarily in Oakland. I work in the restaurant industry currently, and restaurant staff absolutely need to be looking for signs of infestations, this is a serious health concern. I’m so glad I spotted this before I took a bite. PLEASE be aware!

The roti & curry had only 1 piece of potato in the curry and nothing else. It’s outrageous because that meal is $9.95! I’ve never seen such pathetic service. The satay chicken was hard and stale! The Tom yum soup was tasteless and lacked most of the key ingredients! DO NOT USE THIS RESTAURANT.

Absolutely terrible service. They insulted me to my face. So rude. I only tried to point out that when you order extra meat online for the combination fried rice, it does not specify which meat you want extra, They kept saying you need to pick which extra meat, but there literally IS NO OPTION to pick which meat. But they say I was being difficult. Lol

They charge different rates for online orders even if google online order redirects you to their website. I paid extra $10 for no reason.
