This place had great food. If you like spice and flavor then come and try it. Prices were normal for Cali prices. Fast and easy service. Thai tea was amazing. I’d come back if I’m ever in the area.

This place is located in a Vietnamese plaza and serves Viet cuisine as well. I think the ladies running the place are Vietnamese as well...at least form the information I gathered during my visit. Sooo....its a bit confusing. Is this place Thai or Vietnamese? In the end I dont really care. The food is tasty, comes out fast and has Generous Portions! My word...you get two meals for the price one.I dont usually frequent the area. But Ill make an effort to stop by next time Im around.- 5/5I have no idea what I ate or ordered. Just pointed at the pic and ordered. Its delicious and hearty...well I attempted to devour the generous portions.

Located inside Grand Century Mall. Nice little Thai food place with a huge menu. Street food style, not so expensive, it has several other thai snacks too. Limited seating. Setting is more like in a Vietnamese Mall. We’re had Noodle Soup and crab noodles. We liked them except the part of the overloaded sprouts as side.

It’s ok. I’m not sure if I can say the food was worth the price. I got the vegetable noodle stir fry, and the noodles weren’t crispy but the flavor was good. The veggies were cooked nicely, but they didn’t have much flavor at all. All in all, it was ok, but for the price ($14.50) it’s definitely not worth it.

Thai Lovers is always a solid choice. The gals working there are ALWAYS super sweet, and they will even give you a tiny cup of thai tea while you wait for your food. The Pad Thai is my favorite dish there. You cant go wrong with it its delicious, with the shrimp and peanuts its perfect. All of the portions are filling so bring your appetite!

Authentic and flavorful Thai food. Must try! We had green curry and pad Thai Noodles and the spicy shrimp soup. All the dishes were tasty and the owners were also very pleasing. This place only accepts cash so carry some of you plan to go!

I loved the basil beef w green papaya salad (#21). My wife gave her fried rice w pineapple (#12) a 4/10. However she liked the beef as well. This place has a humble but made w love feel to it. We look forward to coming again.

Dont have to get a drink cause Thai tea comes with it. Its a self serve on the drinks. Hubby not a fan if Thai food and he really likes it, especially when we eat at restaurant. Usually I bring it home and its cooler down. Hes not a fan then. So if you have time to eat there food is hot and I guess to hubby it tastes better. For me I can eat it hot or slightly warm, great either way. Go try it for yourself, oh while there another customer who lives in So cal said when he is up this way he always makes it a point to stop there and have a meal. So I think that has to say something about their food.

The food is so good and I love how theres complimentary Thai tea and tom yum soup.The monk lady who runs the register seems a little cold tho. She stared me down and never even smiled once. She just gave me and my BF a cold look for no reason.. Pretty weird since u would think monks are jolly/happy/nice people.Other than that the food is good! I usually order the usual yellow curry and pad Thai w papaya salad.The place is small and yes theres flies that are flying everywhere when u eat but a lil dirt dont hurt! :PWill be coming back

Sunday took family for early lunch, used to love that place. They raised prices30% no one liked the food and I was sick the rest of the day and most of the night from the pad thai. It was half cold and noodles were soggy. Maybe it was reheated from previous day. I Shouldnt have eaten it. I have been a customer for a long time but I will never eat there again.

Been come here since they first opened. At first this place was a gem for it foods and prices. Through out the year, the taste lightly changed due to the originals Thai chef. And price is go up to economic scale. Now it a hit or missed but still a good eater.

Used to be a favorite.This was our standby for quite a few years. Always enjoyed the fried pompano, papaya salad and almost any of their grilled items.It was always delicious.However, they either no longer care about quality or just no longer cared.From them and their sister store, Golden Chicken, we ordered chicken with papaya salad, grilled pork and grilled steak.The papaya salad was way salty. The grilled pork and chicken was charred to the extent that jerkys would be more tender. Some pieces were blackened to almost as dark as charcoal.My rice was extra hard. I think the rice was pre-plate and kept under a heat lamp.Very disappointed. Wont be back.

Amazing service today. The lady at the neighbouring place (they operate together) noticed a group of us was indecisive and took care of us better than most sit down restaurants even though this is within a food court. Free iced tea refills with lunch, and waited on like royalty. She was so pleasant!

The food is so so but the staff is courteous. Pricy for a food court restaurant. However, a meal comes with Thai iced tea, soup and a salad. Ordered a penang beef, the meat is paper thinned and not that much, and the curry sauce is too watery. Not likely to come back.

Yummy. Had the Vietnamese beef stew with baguette. You get two half baguettes. Smelled and tasted so good but a bit too oily.

One employee (who appeared to be a manager actually) was rude to me. I asked her a couple questions and she kept ignoring me. And the place is cash only, so who knows what they are doing with your money.

This is a rather unseeming little establishment but the food is delicious! Youd want to be carefull of the oiliness and stuff as with most small thai places, but definitely give it a go if youre just strolling in the mall.
