This restaurant is super amazing. I ordered noodles and fried rice with pineapples. All foods were the best Ive ever tasted. The service was great. The waitress was very very kind. I highly recommend this place.

Their food tastes good. Service is great. Theyre consistent, fast, and one of the best Asian restaurants in town. Note: this dish does not normally come with an egg.

The staff was very attentiveness friendly, service was fast and efficient.The food however was a cut above the rest. They had possibly the best Tom Yum Ive had in a very long while. This was my first visit, Ill have to explore their menu again in the near future.

DELICIOUS pho here! The staff is extremely kind and also incredibly fast. We ordered and not even five minutes later, our food was brought out to us. The portion sizes are huge. I got a medium and still had to take most of it home. Its delicious and tastes very authentic. I can personal recommend their beef bowl and calamari.

The food is delicious, I really enjoy their Spring Rolls, and Spicy Wings. I look forward to having them. Also, the staff is super sweet, and always on top of it! Always a returning customer. Its a cozy place to have dinner with a small group of friends.

I paid $25.00 for a fried pompano fish and when I got home, I opened the tray and it was tilapia fish. I was not willing to drive all the way back to the restaurant or bother to call in. I think that I over pay for a stupid Pompano fish. I can do it myself but I just dont know why I go get it. its horrible mistake I made. I will go there and will not rate it. do not deserve a star.

Going in I thought it was Chinese; guess I should have looked at their sign more thoroughly, but Thai was the next best thing. The lunch menu had mostly curry, which Im not used to, but the hostess was helpful in choosing a quick lunch. And good thing too, because 5 minutes after ordering, small groups of people started to fill up the small establishment. My food was much sweeter than the garlic taste Im used to when it comes to Thai cusine, but it was welcomed nonetheless. The only thing that was an issue was the size of the vegetables; the broccoli and carrots were too big and should have been cut smaller.

Ordered the beef fried rice and I got an unexpected surprise... It was a dining experience! The herbs, spices, fresh ingredients and explosion of flavors was more of an experience than anywhere else Ive eaten beef fried rice at. This place is a gem and you can tell they take pride in EVERY dish... Cant wait to go back to Merced and have another awesome dining experience.

The food here tastes pretty good. I feel like its not as authentic as other Thai restaurants. But it is tasty and they give you a lot of food for your meal, kind of expensive tho. Averaging around $10/entree.Their spice level is kind of weird and they pretty much just add a bunch of chili flakes to your food. It didnt bother me personally, but if you dont like that, dont ask for spice.

I am addicted to House Khong 2s yellow curry and Thai basil fried rice. The portions are generous and one order of each easily feeds two, but I dont want to share, because I want the leftovers!

I just went to this place yesterday 11/07/2020. I ordered a chicken pho and the sweet and sour chicken lunch special with some egg rolls and let me say all of it tasted AMAZING!! I have tried almost all pho places on merced and this one BY FAR is my favorite!! So much flavor in their food 😋 I will continue going here! And will always send my friends for some pho here!

Had the pork and shrimp spring rolls, combination chow fun, and a cup of broth. Everything was really good. Service was efficient, fast, and kind as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

The food is good, however communication is very difficult. I keep asking her about the specials and shes not very clear on what they are she will not tell you what the difference is between the soft noodles and the crispy noodles in fact. There is an extra charge for soft noodles. But where we come from real Chinese restaurants give you soft noodles with some crunchy noodles to go on top, how you doin.

Well business is business authentic is authentic food. To me food cant be rushed. It doesnt matter if your poor or if your rich.Service or customer service needs to be right eye to eye contact with their patrons.I thank them for how GOD lets HIS sons and daughters hear what they need to hear.to obedient to the LORD JESUS CHRIST.GOD BLESS, JESUS 1st....

I just order some larb today and I told them I don’t want it bitter. I got home and taste it and was so bitter. They need to pay attention to what the customer ask for.

The spring rolls are the best in town. The curry is fantastic. Adding the fried rice with pineapple makes for a terrific meal. The thai tea with lemon or traditional are a favorite as well. I recommend trying Houa Khong 2 if you havent had the pleasure.

This place is amazing. I ordered pad thai and spring rolls and both were the best Ive ever had. The service there was great as well, we didnt have to wait very long for our food and the waitress there was very kind. So if you like thai food, you gotta try this place.. its the best!!! ☺

2016-12-04 16:15:27

The food is excellent and of high quality. The staff is very friendly. The place is on the smaller side but is very popular because of how great everything is so its usually packed. Place an order to go and pick it up if need be because its worth it.

I walk in and the worker didn’t even greet me or say how many people. He just said, “what would you like, do you know what you want to order already?” I said, I’m eating here by myself since I’m on my lunch and haven’t ate all day. He said you can sit here or in the back room.. he never smile at me and when my food came... it was really cold and the noodle where hard.. I’m never coming here again. I recommend people not to come here. This place is dirty and they have no customers services, maybe that is why they don’t have any customers!!! Overall, worst pho place in Merced!!!

Review №39

2018-03-25 18:41:51

The pad thai was ok. Not really that good though imo. The duck was ok for an area that doesnt serve duck so this place will do. The larb taste just like anywhere else. The fried rice was kind of greasy and wet. If it was dryer it would of been better. I would say 3 and a half stars.

Review №43

2021-09-15 16:04:26

The prices are great but its a hit or miss. It depends on who the cook is on the day you go. One day you go and everything is amazing and then the next time itll be mediocre at best.
