"The food was good, the only thing I didn't like was the vegetables. They had absolutely zero flavor. Like, not even vegetable flavor. Idk how that's possible. Even after putting every seasoning possible they still were bland. But the salmon and rice and beef was really good. I'd definitely eat those again. But I wish the vegetables were seasoned at the very least. The chili crisp Chili Crisp Crispy Gyoza was SOOOOO good. 10/10."
"It's nice to have little ventilition holes on the plates, but for whatever reason these holes are not poked open in advance. As a result fried chicken is soggy with moisture in it. Beef tastes way better."

"BEST thai food in SB!!! Everything was amazing. Best Pad Thai I've ever had, amazing Spicy Basil chicken and phenomenal tom yum soup. The Garlic pepper beef was really good too. OMG the Sweet Rice Banana Cake for dessert is supreme. Spicy level spicy means spicy, they put fresh chopped thai chilis on top but it's not super mixed in so you have some control. Decent portion sizes, not too big though so you can order a couple of things. Thai iced tea tasted a little different than I am used to but still good, has more depth/tea flavor than milk so I don't think it's a powder? Definitely will be ordering from here again! New go to thai place."
"This place is becoming my favorite Thai restaurant in SB. The pad Thai is delicious!! Large portions and always packed neatly and delivered hot. To make it even better, the service is great and the people who own it are SO kind. I hope this place takes off because it truly is fantastic."

"This will have been my third order of Hangover Noodles, not because I was hungover but rather because I was hungry for this satisfying blend of vegetables, noodles, and quality protein so remote from the mystery meat of franchise food. "
"Had high hopes for empty bowl since it was the top rated Thai. We had the drunken noodles, Pad Thai Khao San Road, and the Thai Vegetable Egg Rolls. Egg rolls were 10/10 The noodle dishes were kinda bland for Thai. The pad Thai had minimal seasoning and the drunken noodles were just fine. Highly recommend the other Thai in the area."

"Best pho in town. I was really surprised by their bahnmi sandwiches as they are amazing. I've never tasted anything like that at any other restaurant. Their new menu of Korean dishes including bulgogi, stew, and curry are simply delicious. The flavors are a welcome taste to our little city. Highly recommended as all of their dishes, including pizza are made with wonderful care and flavors. "
"I've been wanting to try the Banh Mi from here for a long time, and finally got a chance to today, it is absolutely delicious and well balanced, the only issue i have is how small it is for the price and I would have liked some more fresh herbs on it. the Mango Salad is super fresh and crunchy, and has a nice amount of spice to it, love the peanuts for crunch. and the Zucchini Cheese Blossom are very well frie d, but could have used some more seasoning, it tasted very bland on its own."
