Thai Cuisine II

This place is always packed, so come before the crowd. Pho and papaya salad is legit! After trying them, you just might beba regular.

Not necessarily my first choice for Thai options but will come if my family or friends want to dine here. The service here can get extremely slow especially during busy times. The pho broth is nice and light. I usually like to order the Thai papaya salad from here too but it can get a little salty at times. Overall the food presentation is decent but tastes pretty average. If you're into drinking and go during a time when Lucky Lotus (bar next door) is open, you can also order a cocktail directly from your table.

Good, clean, and simple :) Service was gentle, even though it was busy during my visit. I came here with my father and my order of pho came out well! The restaurant can do with a makeover, but it seems the other Vietnamese competition are in the same predicament.

Staffs are super friendly and talkative. The server will ask questions just to make sure it is what you really want which is good thing. Som tum Thai style, duck noodles, seafood pho, and pineapple salmon were what we ordered. I liked pineapple salmon even though it was not a chunk pineapple. It was small tiny diced pineapple sauce on top of salmon with steam vegetables such as carrot asparagus broccoli and string beans. Health dish to me. Sum Tom was good tending toward salty side. The duck noodles and seafood noodles were okay nothing special about them. I would assume their rice plates would be a hit as well as appetizer, salad, or any finger food. Ohhh of course he went for Thai tea and Thai coffee. Thai coffee was not as strong as I liked it to be. Sorry no pics for the drink we were way too thirsty. Skip the Q part cau the A will be yes I would visit them again for the rice plates

This has to be one of my top five spots in Merced. This restaurant serves amazing food such as Fried Rice, Chow Mien, Egg rolls, Spring Rolls, but my all time favorite is their Pho! Packed with flavor, the broth alone is so delicious. I go for the beef pho minus the meatballs. Honestly something about the meatballs in any kind of pho just doesn't sit well with me. Everything else though, the beef, noodles, onions, and that spicy chili for an added kick hits all the right spots on my taste pallet. Seriously, if you have not been here you need to try it out. I love walking into this place because it is a fairly big size restaurant, and most of the time they're busy. You're lucky if you go into this place and it's not packed. The servers are always speedy, and extremely friendly. One thing I a stickler about is having my water filled, and they stay on top of that. For desert, the mango sticky rice is amazing. You would think rice with coconut milk and mango wouldn't hit, but it does! Love the restraint vibes with the high ceilings. This place is located in the Promenade which has dense parking so be prepared when visiting this fine establishment. Highly recommended

I have ate a lot of pad Thai dishes from various Thai restaurants and Thai Cuisine II is by far one of my favorites, exceeding with their pad Thai dish! The noodles are always perfect--never soggy and never dry. They're full of flavor and juicy when slurping, leaving a delicious residue on your lips. The portion can feed two, but I would recommend taking one to-go for later. Looking forward to come back soon.

5 Stars from the time I walked in. Friendly staff, Amazing food, Very clean restaurant. Thank you Johnny for the kind and attentive service. I tried 4 different dishes and all were amazing. Super Delicious! This is a must go if you're in Merced.

Poor service and okay food So much potential but lacking....We waited for over an hour for the appetizer And the mushy noodles to follow

Food was okay but definitely not worth the price, there are better options in the area. Ordered $50+ in food and requested peanut sauce instead of the sauce they offer with the spring rolls and was told it'd be extra but wasn't expecting $4+ for a measly cup of peanut sauce. Seriously? Will not be back, absolutely ridiculous.

Came in with my 3 young children. Was sat right next to the bar that was extremely loud. We placed our order and it was read back to us. We could barely hear due to the lively bar. They brought my husband the wrong dish. When made aware the server snobbish responded that she read us back our order and went into the back. About 5 minutes later she informed us that they would remake it but it was our fault that because she read back the order. Our appetizers came significantly after our meal including my husband's remade meal. We were brought out 2 spoons for a total of 3 phos. Waters never refilled. We get the check and there are 2 extra meals and an extra beverage on our tab. We were also charged one item as a pad thai instead of a thai fried rice. When I notified the person checking out my order there was snark comments from the horrendous server including "those are both the same price". As a regular customer paying a tab exceeding $100 each time, I was offered absolutley nothing to rectify the issue. Sadly, that the quality of service has deteriorated so significantly. We will not be returning.
