My roommate needed a night out so we came here since I was also craving thai. They had great reviews and it seemed pretty cheap, so obviously I had to give them a try. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from outside and it doesn’t look like much when you go in either. It’s not a fancy place for sure. My roommate was a little concerned since we were the only ones there. I still had faith. My roomie started with the spring rolls, which was basically egg rolls, and I ordered a thai ice tea. To me, spring rolls are not deep fried but are sticky rice paper. Had I ordered this, I would have been really disappointed. I didn’t try the egg roll but from what I could see inside it, it probably wouldn’t have been something I would have liked anyways. I saw mostly glass noodles and what I would assume was cabbage. If you have read any of my past reviews, we know how I feel about this. The thai ice tea was really good. I would guess based on how it came out and past experience it’s from a bottle and probably not house made. Still good though. For my entree, I order the pad thai. I was really happy about the fact that they have the pad thai here come with both shrimp and chicken and for a really cheap price. I asked for my dish to be hot and probably should have asked for it to be thai hot, which was the hottest option she gave me. Hot wasn’t hot at all for me. I would say it had a little kick but when I eat thai food, I like it to be really hot. There was a lot of food and a more than reasonable amount of meat. The shrimp and chicken was cooked perfectly. This was honestly the best tasting pad thai I’ve ever had. I plan on going back in the next week or two to get more pad thai. My roommate ordered a curry dish and he said he loved it. If you haven’t been here, it’s definitely worth a trip. Thank you Yelpers for pulling through on this place.

Thai Garden – Menu with Prices – 432 University Ave W, St Paul

We went there yesterday afternoon based on the reviews but were sorely disappointed and ended up leaving right after TRYING to order. First we ordered an appetizer of spring rolls but were told that they were out of spring rolls! Upon my asking how a Thai restaurant could be â??out of spring rollsâ?, the server gave multiple excuses – there were only three people working, they just had a large group of people that had ordered spring rolls, they were behind. I thought this was outlandish but because we were there as a birthday lunch for someone in our party, I tried to make the best of it. As I always do when I eat at Thai food restaurants, I wanted to order the Pad Thai, but found the description of â??sweet, sour, saltyâ? on the menu confusing as Iâ??ve never known Pad Thai to be sour OR salty. When I asked the server why they described their Pad Thai this way, she asked me what color the sauce was on the other Pad Thai Iâ??ve eaten. I thought this was a strange question but I answered â??brown I guessâ?. She then said â??we make our Pad Thai different than everyone else and our sauce is orangeâ?. Ummm, that sounds like a sweet & sour sauce to me. At that point, I knew this place wasnâ??t what the reviews seemed to indicate and we left without even completing our orders. As Iâ??ve seen in at least one other review, i donâ??t understand how this place has such a high rating and it doesnâ??t seem this place knows how to cook Thai food. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are many other Thai food restaurants in the Twin Cities from which to choose.

Krua Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 7603 W 21st St, Wichita

This placed used to be so awesome. I’m not 100% sure but I think new owners took over and this place has really gone downhill since then. Either way the service is now abysmal and after my experience tonight I definitely won’t be back. Ordered my usual Spring rolls, Chicken Panang, Chicken Pad Thai. Picked up and got home – which is more than 10 minute drive – to find my spring rolls weren’t included. Called up to ask for the cost of my spring rolls to be credited back on the card I used. Not only did the lady argue with me and remain adamant that they did not forget my rolls but then said the only thing they could do is give me a credit for my next order. Nope. Not good enough. Especially when you are calling me a liar, raising your voice and won’t even offer an apology. Why on earth would a customer of several years try to ‘swindle’ you for a single order of spring rolls lol?!

Pin Toh Asian – Menu with Prices – 7709 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati

New to the area and looking for some good Thai, we stumbled upon Pin Toh and ordered some take out. I had the Cashew Tofu stir fry and hubby had the chicken Thai Spicy, also an order of the spring rolls. Everything was plentiful and tasted great! Definitely our go to take out or dine in Thai in Anderson!

Thailand Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 86-05 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica

Wanted to try this restaurant as it is the only option for Thai food on Uber Eats. As we came to the restaurant the outside looks a bit shabby so we were reluctant to go in, once inside we had to sit ourselves as it was empty with 1 other patron. The place is clean but very outdated decor. It only has 2 staff members working there the owner who is an older woman, and her assistant. The wait is a bit long, but my boyfriend and I ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer,chicken green curry, and chicken pad Thai as our main courses. For drinks I got the Thai iced tea, and my boyfriend ordered the tamarind juice. Spring rolls were good and tasty, our drinks were good (Thai tea was creamy), and our food was actually very good. Food came out very hot so be careful. The green curry was flavorful but I also felt that it was a healthier version than most green curry I’ve had ( not a lot of additives), the pad Thai was also flavorful and saucy ( I hate dry pad Thai). The owner was very friendly and made you feel welcomed.

Sakae Thai & Sushi Bar – Menu with Prices – 430 Chatham Heights Rd #101, Fredericksburg

Pretty disappointed. We ordered the vegetable red curry, shrimp tempura, spring rolls and drunken noodles. The curry and spring rolls we’re pretty good, shrimp tempura was ok, and the drunken noodles we’re inedible. It seems like there was some catastrophic accident in the kitchen when they made these noodles. Just gray, flavorless mush. Seems like they forgot to put about half of what they were supposed to then noodles, then cooked them into oblivion. I think they’re just trying to do too many things at this place. Either be Thai or sushi.

Thai Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 4250 Barranca Pkwy U, Irvine

And the line was out the door, the entire restaurant had every seat filled on a Saturday night at 7:30 PM. So this time we arrived at 6:00 PM and were seated on Wednesday. The decor is as it first was many years ago, read not updated. The staff remains very small, with service waits due to this. They all are trying to do all the jobs. Except the cooks. While efficient and cheerful, you sometimes wish for one more person to take orders or get the take outs going. They do one heck of a take out business it seems. The food is just so so, I hate to say. Some dishes though are pretty good. Portions are large, in part to make up for this? We had the Spring Rolls, Beef Salad, Pad Thai and Coconut Ice Cream. Ice Cream was the best, Spring Rolls next. Beef Salad was a bit too spicy and the Pad Thai just fell flat. The beef, chicken and shrimp came in less amounts than I remember from previous visits. We will probably eat here again, just because our favorite Thai restaurant is further away and a longer drive.

Bambuza Pearl District – Menu with Prices – 100 NW 10th Ave #3107, Portland

My Girl and I were in Portland on holiday and stopped in on a whim at lunchtime on Monday. We ordered several items to share: Yellow Curry with shrimp Green Papaya Salad with shrimp Bambuza salad rolls with shrimp Crispy Spring rolls First the presentation was nice and the wait staff brought our food out fairly quickly. I know reading other reviews that wasn’t what we had read. They also brought us plates to share our dishes. This is not a full service restaurant you order then sit and they bring you your food. So for the food: The green papaya salad was good and refreshing however the shrimp on top was bland and not an addition I would recommend. The crispy spring rolls were very good and the sauce compliments them well. The Bambuza roll was good but had a very strong taste of herbs which make it taste fresh but the mint slightly overpowers the dish. The peanut sauce does compliment and tame the mint some. The shrimp in the Bambuza rolls were also bland. The yellow curry, of all the dishes I eat this the most frequently, was okay. The vegetable didn’t gain the flavor of the curry the way I prefer but it wasn’t a poorly composed dish either. The shrimp again was bland. The rice with the curry was well cooked. I wouldn’t stop anyone from coming here but I can say that it isn’t on the level of other places I frequently go.

Phá»? Houston – Menu with Prices – 139 W Nolana Ave, McAllen

I came here without having Pho. I am kind of curios on how the Pho will tase the next time I visit and decide to have it. The service was not very friendly when we ordered and asked for things. I was not able to get a substitute for chicken on my dish, but that was okay because I had the pork vermicelli with vegetables and ended up liking it. There could have been a few more vegetables but it was okay. They had Pad Thai and it tasted a little different than what I am used to. I’d say it tased more like a Chinese noodle dish. I probably won’t have that again. Not sure if this is because this is a Vietnamese restaurant that it had a different taste. Their spring rolls were also okay. Overall it was a clean restaurant and decent. Not the best or worst Vietnamese restaurant that I’ve been to.

Pho and Rolls – Menu with Prices – 8048 N Cedar Ave, Fresno

Okay, so we have been here twice in the last 10 days and I have to say I am so glad that they have opened near our house. There are a few pho places on this side of town but this place is legit. First, the staff are so very nice and friendly. They really go out of their way to make sure that you are taken care of. They have a great variety of food including Pho (of course), Pad Thai, some Chinese dishes, and of course spring rolls and egg rolls. The food here is very fresh and enjoyable. My husband, who fancies himself as a pho expert, says that the broth is in his top 2 in Fresno, which is a big compliment. The spring rolls are very fresh and the egg rolls are tasty. You can choose from various types of egg rolls, which is great because I like the veggie ones. I have had the pad Thai and the vermicelli salad, both which were quite tasty. I find myself leaning towards the pad Thai and would highly recommend that. I am sorry that the other person who has reviewed this place had a bad experience, however, I think that because they did not actually get to try the food, it is hard for them to really judge the restaurant or the food. I have had a similar experience with door dash, unfortunately so I understand.

Pho Lena Express Menu with Prices 3101 Penland Pkwy, Anchorage

This is by far the best location and the most authentic to the original location that was located behind REI on Spenard. The current Spenard location has been very hit and miss for the last year. We only eat at the Northway location now because the food is consistently good, made the way Mama Lena always made it originally. I am a fan of the appetizers and tend to order the fresh rolls and the stuffed chicken wings. Order them with a small side of peanut sauce and dip them in the sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, and the peanuts. It’s SO good. The outside of the chicken has that red marinade red pork has and the inside is stuffed with clear glass noodles, ground meat, and vegetables. The fresh rolls and egg rolls are the best in town–the vegetarian version of the egg rolls too. I highly recommend their chicken pad Thai, pad zee ew, and broccoli beef too. My roommate gets the pho and beef fried rice every time. He is Thai/Laotian like the owners and Pho Lena makes his favorite beef fried rice. The location is inside the Northway mall near the Joann Fabrics mall entrance. It’s a small hole in the wall type atmosphere. Sometimes the cleanliness isn’t the best because of other customers who leave surprises near the condiments, but that’s more lazy people’s fault than the owners. They also have Thai desserts like glutinous rice and coconut milk, but it can vary from day to day. I reckon my roommate and I have eaten at Pho Lena’s multiple locations so many times we may as well own stock in the company. 10/10 highly recommend for the best Thai and Laotian food.

Pho Ngoc Yen Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 1090 Kamato Rd Mississauga ON L4W 2P3 Kamato Rd, Mississauga

Wow am I impressed, or am I impressed?! I would’ve never in a million years thought that Mississauga could be home to the best pho restaurant.. and here I humbly stand corrected! Coming from Markham/Scarborough/North York/Toronto, I’ve had my fair share of pho and while some were better than others, I always thought that they were all more or less the same. I mean, how good COULD pho get anyway?? WELL, I write this review today to say that IT CAN GET PRETTY DAMN GOOD. I came here for my birthday dinner actually, only because it had good ratings on Yelp and I was driving back to Toronto from Niagara. My party of 5 ordered the following dishes: 1) Spring Rolls: This dish was 2 spring rolls cut in half (so 4 pieces) and it was pretty standard tasting but costs $5. 2) NY Special Pho: SO FRIGGEN GOOD. The broth was so hearty, so rich, so flavourful, and the noodles were fresh. They had the perfect bouncy texture to it with consistently made thin noodles. 100% would recommend. 3) BBQ Chicken, BBQ Pork, and Spring Roll Vermicelli: Large portion size and the grilled meats were very tasty. The spring roll only costed $1 to add and it was essentially the same size as the one from the appetizer… so I’d definitely recommend ordering this instead 4) Shrimp and Chicken Pad Thai: Very sweet and flavourful sauce with large shrimps and tender chicken. 5) Steam Clams with Perilla Leaf in a Clay Pot: Extremely fragrant perilla leaf flavour seeped into the soup. I think it’s a very peculiar taste and might not sit well with everyone. My table appreciated it for what it was but didn’t particularly enjoy it. 6) Sesame Chicken with Shrimp Crackers: A tad bit of spiciness in the shredded cold chicken but paired very nicely atop the crunchy shrimp crackers. Overall, if this restaurant franchised closer to me, I think I’d eat here all the time! The prices are very good for the portion sizes and quality of food and the staff were all very welcoming and nice. I’m almost sad that it’s all the way in Mississauga!

The Similans Thai Eatery – Menu with Prices – 13005 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy, Fairfax

I had my first taste of Thai food 15 years ago: Pad See Ew with Beef at a Thai chain (which will remain unnamed), and my taste buds did somersaults at the first bite. But after 15 years of trying Thai here and trying it there, it began to taste about the same. Then came Similans. The best Thai I’ve had in years! On a recent snowy day, we ordered delivery – Pad See Ew with beef (can you tell this is my standard?), Hawaiian Fried Rice, Crispy Rolls, and Party Wings. Within an hour, the food was at our door and everything tasted fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The Pad See Ew is some of the best I’ve had in years. Every ingredient – rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, egg, and beef strips – is cooked perfectly on its own and together, the dish comes together beautifully. As many times as I’ve had this dish, it’d been a long time since I’d enjoyed like that. A must! The Hawaiian Fried Rice was a really nice surprise. The curry was light, not at all overpowering, which was important for a rice dish that already has a lot going on, packed with chicken, shrimp, pineapples, cashews, and veggies. A wonderful, comfort dish. The crispy rolls were as good as any you’d find elsewhere, but the wings were pretty special – crispy skin, tender meat, slathered in a sticky sweet and spicy sauce that begs you to lick your fingers. I may have just found my new Thai obsession.
