I was charged for tofu for a fried rice. However, there was no any tofu in it. I was also charged for “Clover ATM processing fee”. The curry for togo order is only half of the typical size of what I usually get in other Thai restaurants.

So cute. And the food was delicious. Had the Thai style green papaya salad, the beef noodle soup, and the green curry. Everything was so good and spiced just right. Will eat here again hands down!

I live out of state and was looking for a place that made and sell papaya salad. Ordered to go. Food was great. Service is good. Combination fried rice is very flavorful.

Foods is very good and tasty. Reasonable price. Took too long to prepare and it’s too hot in the restaurant. No AC.

One of the worst “Curries” I tasted for some time. Only give a second star because other customers were eating their food. Mine was returned.Ordered a mild yellow curry and was served with something that looked like a green broccoli/cabbage stew. No protein, no potatoes et.When I notified the waiter he suggested I get a side of potato and protein and mix it myself. I respectfully declined his proposal and asked him to remake it as this wasn’t even the base for what I ordered. 5 min later I get the same plate with just two pieces of protein and two potatoes added. Rice was the same and almost cold by now. It was clearly not prepared by a Thai chef.I asked for the food to be returned again and to receive my check. To my surprise they really tried to ask the full amount. Only after some debate was the charge dropped as I didn’t consume anything. The chef never showed his face and only communicated from around the kitchen curtain. I see others had some good reviews here but I won’t return.

Curry is my favorite food. I ve had many different curry spots across the west Coast. This is easily the saddest amount of curry Ive ever gotten. The food itself is just okay. Nothing special like youd expect with such a small amount. Many other curry spots in Sacramento where for a dollar more you get twice the amount and equally as good food.

The lao sausage was very good. The combination noodle soup was not bad as well.

First time offenders checking this place out . The place is very simple. As for their food we were not to sure what to order so we just ordered their fried rolls & Larb. First time having Larb, it was different, the texture was interesting 🤔, yet tasty . Service was adequate. Lunch hour traffic was good 👍

Best Thai cuisine around!! Super friendly staff. Every time we go in. Food comes out hot fresh and fast. If were making it to go order still super hot Super Fresh super fast. Stopped in for my birthday dinner and they overheard us talking about it and brought out some incredible housemade coconut ice cream thats absolutely to die for! If you have any room left after your mealthe coconut ice cream for dessert is a must have! My kids love their chicken on a stick AKA chicken satay.

I have been dining at this restaurant before they relocated from their West capitol location. I wasnt asked if I wanted it spicy or not. It was so mild I wished I had asked it to be spicy. I have NEVER had a bad meal here. Always delicious Thai food. I went back again last night to discover a new menu. 25 years of dining here down the drain. I was the only customer in what used to be a crowded restaurant. I was not impressed. Food was too salty and the music too loud to hear what anyone was saying. This was such a treasure and I probably will not return. I can understand modifying a menu but you might want to test the product before putting it on the menu.

Inside has been refreshed since my last visit. They dont over sugar everything like all the Thai restaurants everywhere else. Food is great. Great customer service.. service is a little slow at lunch time so be prepared to use extra time

Went here based on the reviews as we were heading that direction. The pineapple fried rice was too fried and a little too greasy. The drunken noodle had lots of vegetables but was very bland with little noodle. And the pad Thai had very little besides noodles and was not well prepared pad Thai. Unfortunately we got our food to go, so there was no having it prepared properly or adding spice (nothing was even mildly spicy). The Lao sausage was pretty good saving this from a 1-star review, so maybe their Lao food is the better food. I don’t expect Thailand quality Thai food here in the states but do expect reasonable attempts to replicate the flavor and composition of real Thai food. The Thai staples here were not worth what appeared to be reasonable prices.

New place to try Thai food while visiting a friend in the West Sac area. No website with a menu or ordering options u less you go thru a 3rd party food delivery service. The food was basic and didnt have the Thai taste of bold flavors Im used to (same for me friends)...

Service was amazing and very delicious food. I ordered the Koa Mee (Lao fried noodle), which is very hard to find in Sacramento. The flavor and texture was firm and sweet just like the one I grew up eating. Their papaya - Lao style was by far the best I’ve had from a Sac restaurant.I also have to say this place is very affordable. I purchased 2 entrees, 2 salads for the price of $30, and it is very filling. Loved this hole in the wall!

I didnt hate the food but I didnt really enjoy it. Food was bland. Ive had better food for the same price or less. The lady that served us was nice and that just about the nicest thing I can really say. Its small. Maybe about 9 or 10 tables that seat 4. It isnt a really busy place so dont think you will have a hard time finding a seat. I ordered the Lao sausage which was sweet, spicey and kinda dry. Hubby got the pineapple fried rice and said he didnt really like it. My daughter got the Kapoon noodles and it was really sweet and spices. They put too much basil in the soup which became over powering. Kapoon noodle are suppose to taste a little like curry but tasted really watered down. Wouldnt go back. Lady was nice though

I really like this place, the server is always with a good attitude which is the first thing I see when I go out to eat, the food is good taste, the only thing I question my self is the smell of the fried rice has sometimes. If anyone can answer me it should be nice. But everything is good overall.

They were so extremely nice. I loved their papaya salad kung pao chicken.Dishes were on the smaller size which is perfect because prices are reasonable. If you want to gorge, this place isnt the best place but if you want a light dinner, its a great place.

Review №24

2016-11-29 07:44:30

This place is very good family run business. It is more like home cooking than some commercial chain restaurant. Their soups and curries are my favorite. They can be a bit slow when it gets busy but it is worth the wait. A very good dining value.

I go to Vientiane mainly for their Laos style Papaya Salad. It is delicious. They do, however, have other food in their menu that are pretty tasty. When I am not craving the Papaya Salad, I usually get their Chicken Yellow Curry and their PadSaew. Their location isnt the best, but its doable especially for a small restaurant. There is the owner, a main lady that serves the customers most of the time and her service is excellent. There are some occasions where her kids serves you, but they all have excellent customer service as well, especially compared to most Asian family owned restaurants. They actually speak perfect english! I would recommend this place. Its always a great thing to experience new places and this place can be worth an experience.

I rate a 5, as in very good and tasty. The curry is good, and the sausage and stuffed chicken are delicious. There is WiFi if you ask. Also try the sticky rice and mango dessert.

Somehow I ran across this restaurant on guilp. And noticed it was right in my town of West Sacramento. And I love Thai food so much The food was great and the employees were very kind. They have a nice selection of different items on their menu. And I plan on coming back to try some of those other items.

I went back after a couple years and it was a better experience. Though the Cashew Chicken I had was a bit salty, I devoured it in no time. I think it was the cashews, theyre my favourite. I will definitely be back.

I loooove this spot! Its a hidden gem that I visit every time I find myself in the Sacramento area. The service is fantastic, the prices are very affordable, and the food is reminiscent of the food I ate while traveling through Laos and Thailand years ago.Their chicken larb salad, tom kha gai soup, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice are delicious (and totally authentic), and their chicken satay is a definite favorite among the Thai spots I frequent (that includes my regular spots in San Francisco). Highly recommended!
