Every time I've ordered from Chada Thai Cuisine, the food has been amazing!! I always get chicken pad thai, and it's pretty filling! It usually lasts for two meals for me, which is perfect because I get to save a little money on food. I also really appreciate that they use aluminum foil when delivering the pad thai because it keeps it extra warm! :)

The Fried Banana with Coconut Ice Cream was really good and comes with SIX pieces! (Usually you pay $10 for like two slices of fried banana at other Thai spots). The 53. Pad Thai with chicken was super good and came as a full box portion. Very pleased and will order again :)

Don't know what happened.This used to be excellent Thai food. It was my go to Thai, but quality and flavor has been sliding downhill over the past year.
Although quite inexpensive, I won't be ordering again.
The Yellow Curry was unusually bland and the potatoes had a bizarre chalky texture.
The Green Curry was good except the star of the show-eggplant - was limited to 3 pieces, and the skin was strangely "papery", closest description I can give, and inedible.
The Pad See Ew, which is supposed to be a bit sweet, was WAY too sweet. Such a shame
Spring rolls were crispy outside, but mushy and bland inside.
Even the rice was meh, reminding of Uncle Ben's (ie., reconstituted texture, zero flavor).
Only thing I would order again: Saree (sp?) Curry puffs, which are more Indian than Thai. Very good, although sometimes a bit too greasy. (BYO chutney or use the Thai chili sauce, which is also good).

The Pad Thai was amazing! Perfect balance of tangy and savory. The packaging was also perfect, it had the peanuts, lime and bean sprouts on the side. Also glad I got the cucumber salad because it was delicious! The wings were spicy but such a good addition to the meal. I will be ordering from them again for sure.

Crispy Lemonglass Chicken is the best! Succulent, flavorful, Amazing. Ate all down to the bones - Practically ate the bones even- and I don't EVER eat skin much less chew on bones!
Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are my favorites. Tried all proteins; prefer chicken, pork, squid, shrimp. Beef can be a bit chewy - good flavor, just doesn't come out quite as well.
Tofu is fantastic also: crisp outside, tender inside - really great with either noodle dish.
Egg rolls and Crab Lagoon are excellent. The Crab Langoon (aka Rangoon) is especially lovely with tasty filling and the wrappers are delicate, almost flaky, not hard like most. (Both rolls and langoon are easy to crisp up next day in oven at 350 for ~10 minutes).
Tom Kha and Tom Yum - both are Delicious despite my ordering mild! This is the mark of an excellent chef as the soup is full of flavor. (A lesser chef can hide lack of complexity by cranking the heat.) I could have this Tom Ka every night -
Note fresh Squid salad ordered mild is still spicy [I'm overly sensitive] but worth the pain. Have sticky rice ready in hand to kill the burn! The squid is perfectly cooked, which is quite rare. Even Santa Cruz restaurants don't consistently get squid right like Chada.
