Ordered takeout. Portions were substantial and the food was great. Particularly the fresh rolls were so fun and delicious. Also - they actually do the modifications (ex. No oyster sauce) you request, which I've found frequently doesn't happen on takeout orders. The store looked clean and I will definitely eat here again.

I'd had take-out a couple of times here during the pandemic, but came back to give it another try. It was not good. Some dishes were fine: the pad thai was decently good. The chicken satay skewers were fine, but the portions somewhat small. The popcorn chicken was a good size, but the excess sauce made them a little soggy.The fried rice, however, was incredibly soggy, so much so that I do not think it can actually be called "fried". Yet somehow, the meat in that dish was dry instead! The massaman curry was the biggest disappointment. It was noticeably sour, and it seemed to be cooked with the same beef slices that go into every other beef dish. If a restaurant does not prep beef cubes/chunks, it should not have massaman curry on the menu.

I am someone who prefers burgers and fast food over any sit down but for some odd reason I wanted Thai food that day. So glad that I did. The food was incredible and it came out within 10 minutes of ordering!!! I ordered the pad see ew with beef, crispy spring rolls, and mango rice desert with tea. I would give everything a 12/10. And it was the BEST Thai tea I've ever had. I cannot wait to come back.

Ordered their Kao Soi with fried tofu instead of chicken. The flavor was nice and price was decent. However my partner ordered their noodles and immediately felt sick afterwards and definitely got food poisoning. Further his noodles were just OK and nothing to rave about, so unlikely will be coming back.

I'm pretty stunned by the mid reviews. I really enjoyed this place! It feels more authentic than a fusionized Thai place. It's a straight forward casual restaurant with no frills. They aren't trying to upscale. They bring you cozy Thai food. Service was fine, nothing spectacular but they're friendly. Chicken satay - one of the best chicken satay I've had in a long time. Chicken was flavorful and moist. Chicken eggplant stir fry - it was good, nice flavor profile. Khao poon - my fave! Love khao poon! Rich flavor and nice blend of curry taste. I highly recommend getting this!

Ordered the lunch spicy noodles with a side portion of fish cake and it was so fresh and delicious. My favorite Thai restaurant in Palo Alto/MV area. Workers are friendly, service is prompt and food is always amazing. Frequent my lunch breaks here and will continue to return.

I had to work the day after Christmas. I tried something different. I got the Pad Thai Medum spice with Shrimp. I usually get the Pad See Ew with Chicken. They are both the best and excellent every time. Keep up the great work! Thank you for your business! Happy New Year!

I came here for a late lunch on a Monday afternoon. It worked out perfectly since we were able to avoid the lunch crowd. I ordered Thai Chow Mein with beef. It was really good, ingredients were so fresh and perfect seasoning. The service was prompt from seating us, taking our order, bringing our food and making sure that everything turned out well. Prices are reasonable especially considering that this location is on California Ave. No parking directly in front of the restaurant since the street is closed for traffic but there is a parking garage on the street behind. Depending on the time you come, you can also find street parking nearby. The place is pretty small, but they also have outdoor seating.

Got the yellow curry with chicken which was decent but the chicken needed more flavor. Have definitely had better Thai food in this area. The service was really sweet, but we were seated in an area really close to the back, and as they were opening the door had dirty/used napkins flying on to my table and seat. My stomach hurt after my meal here and it felt a bit insanitary.
