An outstanding Thai restaurant in Sacramento and Elk Grove. Each dish is full of flavor and the right amount of spice. Ingredients are of a higher quality than your standard Americanized Thai restaurant. Cozy seating with lots of art decorating the walls. Service is friendly and attentive.

I found a dead fly in my yellow Thai curry as I was almost done eating it. This has to be the most horrific thing that’s ever happened to me while dining out. The staff asked me if I wanted a new one, but absolutely not! Throw away the whole pot if anything. I lost my appetite. The staff apologized and didn’t charge me for the meal. I understand it was probably an accident as the weather is warm and flies just tend to buzz it’s way around… but I’m just traumatized that I ate most of it before discovering that dead fly in my curry. I will not be a returning customer. I can’t get it out of my head. Flies are so disgusting to me. I can’t even eat my food when a fly lands on it, but to find a dead one in it is a whole different story.

On the menu Thai Boat Noodles is $12.50, but the server charge $15 for the noodle. The server reasoning was that we order beef so it’s additional $2.50 which wasn’t presented on the menu stating additional cost for meat choices. The male server wasn’t very helpful, set down for 20 minutes without any type of service provided. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS FOR HIDDEN PRICE ADDED ON YOUR RECEIPT AT THE EBD OF YOUR MEAL AND I ADVISED THAT YOU CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE YOU PAID.

Came here thru the hype…Stick with the Thai Boat. Calamari was soggy, BBQ chicken was decent, and Drunken Noodles was alrite. Service was okay. Place can get pretty full quick. Would come back for Thai Boat only. Thai Boat 4.5/5

So glad we decided to make the 30 min drive to this place. Was craving boat noodles, and they did not disappoint. Very flavorful! We also had fried wontons (barely any cream cheese), Lao style papaya (in my personal opinion it tasted more like Thai style), oyster shooter (freaking delicious but 3.50 for one shooter), and mango sticky rice (Yumm)

I’m a huge fan of Thai foods and have been trying different places in the area. This restaurant may not have the best Thai dishes but you can find some very good ones in the menu, with slightly different taste from the other restaurants. The staffs are nice and the environment is so cozy. This is a great place to try.

Friendly staff & service. Cute decor with a modern Thai farmhouse look. Food is good here. Shrimp Pad Thai is good. The Beef Boat Noodle is on point with flavor. The beef is not tender though. The Nam Kao Tod has good flavor, however, it is made in a lazy way where the rice is not crispy as it normally should be in this dish. Too greasy as well. Our server never introduced himself, but he was unaware of their beer selection & it’s not on their menu. They only carry Singha, Beer Lao & Blue Moon in a bottle. We like Singha & he chilled it for us.
