Kaidao Thai Street Food

You know when you come across a restaurant that makes you feel like you're somewhere else, while you're sitting down eating their food? That's this restaurant. I feel like I'm in the busy city or a busy town in Thailand. The ambiance, the music playing in the background, the curtain separating the kitchen and us, the pounding in the kitchen you hear when the cook is making something from scratch. The way the food is served, piping hot!! Fresh. This place is that, takes you away from California. Top notch customer service, they work very hard here, amazing food, you can taste the flavor in each bite and the love and passion for cooking. The vegan dishes are just phenomenal. Curry is packed with taste and the drunken noodles- damn!! I'd come back over n over n over again. Thank you for the delicious food.

The food was hot and fresh when I got it. They have changed menus so a lot of their items previously aren't on the menu anymore but I would recommend to come take a look at their current menu. Service was decent. Ambiance was nicely lit with music playing in the background.

Papaya salad is pretty good here, especially if you like eating it Lao style with padaek and kapi. Ordered it medium and it was probably 3 peppers hot, although the spice does build up. If you like it spicier than me, then I'd probably go even harder. Rice is extra for curry. Drunken noodles were yummy but they went pretty light on the beef. No alcohol here but they do have nom yen as one of their specialties. Service is fast and they don't take too long to bring the food out.

Stopped by to try their lunch special! We ordered the yellow curry with chicken and a pad see ew.

If you didn't know, now you know to get the khao soi! Their online ordering is easy and reliable. That in itself is a rarity. Parking is usually fine during lunch time. Their khao soi has egg noodles that pairs perfectly with the rich broth. Add that fragrant cilantro and extra crunchy texture from the cabbage and we have a winner. It's on the specialty side of their menu for a reason. If you're trying to live large, I would order roti without the sweet sauce and just dunk it in more of that broth! Plus it's a big portion, it might be shareable. Might.

Food: Placed an order online for pad thai and pad see ew, both with steamed tofu. There's three spice levels; no spice, spice, and extra spice. We got the pad thai with spice and the pad see ew without. The spice definitely has a kick to it, so if your gut is sensitive or your tolerance is low, I would recommend no spice. The spice is GOOD though. Almost feels ghost peppery. The pad thai wasn't sickeningly sweet like a lot of Thai places do to cater to the public's palate; it was perfect! The pad see ew was mild with the soy sauce, which I loved. The portions for both were generous as well, and a GREAT price at $12.99/each for their lunch menu M-F. Such a good deal, especially for the quality.Service: Ordered online and it was ready to go by the time I got there. Easy and quick. We initially wanted to dine in, but the employee called us after I placed my order, saying they were short-staffed that day so they were only offering takeout.Ambiance: It was clean inside, but can't really speak much for the ambiance, since I did my order to-go. Tip: You get 10% your first order online!

This place is very tasty, this has been my favorite Thai place in the area so far. The service is nice. The ambiance is just right.

Ordered by phone. It was ready in 25 min. Too bad they ran out out Mooping.Chicken Satay: 4/5. Never disappoint. Chicken was not dry. Peanut sauce was on point.Coconut shrimps: 3.5/5. Perfectly fried, but nothing special.Pork basil Fried Rice: 4/5. It had less basil fragrance than last tile so visited this place. Still good though.Beef Pad See Ew: 3/5. Not as sweet as last time I visited, but that bit of sour taste was a bit strange.

In a nutshell; neat place to stop by and satisfy your Thai food cravings if you're in the area.The west-wind theater drive-in Is nearby so if you wanted to get thai food while watching or if you got around the area rather early and there isn't any traffic then well this is a neat place to stop by. It isn't the biggest restaurant but seats and tables were decent enough, no squeaking or table tilting. The man behind the register was rather busy but still attentive as he could. Food didn't take too long at all. Appetizers were first and that was great and before you know it the entrees were served and those tasted amazingly as well. If I had a few qualms about it is maybe the location it is at, as we parked and headed towards the entrance had a rather frantic person walk by clutching his bag as though he was about to get robbed speaking obscenities at the person he passed earlier. Don't know what that's about but well maybe that was just a one time occurrence. Overall still a neat place to try out.

I ordered take out and the flavors were good! I ordered chicken pad Thai, coconut shrimp, and pork pad se-ew. They skimped on the meat a bit though and shorted me a shrimp. I would definitely eat here again though because it tasted good.
