I had Pad Thai for the first time on my first visit here. It was so flavorful and filling. The restaurant had plenty of seating and had a fresh look. The Tom Yum soup was also really good. I couldn’t stop serving myself extra bowls!

What a disappointment! This place used to be wonderful and now it was so bad I had to throw out the food because it was inedible. On top of the Pad Thai tasting like a bowl of peas…literally there was no other taste than peas…yet there are no peas in the dish I found hair in the yellow chicken curry. The fried wontons were decent, but I will never be back. I should have listened to my mom when she told me months ago that it was so bad she called and asked what was wrong with them. Apparently they have new owners and new recipes, which are much to be desired.

The best Thai food in the Riverside area! Every time I have taken someone new there, they rave about how great the food is and always want to go back when they are in town! I’ve tried many of the dishes but the yellow curry is my absolute favorite. Full of flavor and the portion is a good size. I’m so glad to see that they’re back open!

Poor salesmanship but great food. We we’re glad to show up here a little earlier than their noon opening time. We we’re a party of 7 and they seated us real quickly. It seems that speed is the name of their game here. The waitress brought us water and just left them in a clump at one end of the table for us to hand out. I asked if I could try their Tom Kha broth to maybe order 3 pots ($16 each). The same waitress let me know they can’t let me sample since it is only made to order. That tells me they are using the packets, thus neither homemade or authentic. Cucumber salad was cut in large steaks rather than a standard thin cut to absorb the vinegar dressing.

The food was so good. The portions we’re big which allowed us to all get one item and share. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly as well.

It was ok, nothing amazing. I didn’t like the soup, for some reason it was too sweet which I found weird. Love the fried rice and house chow mein.
