When friends and I were celebrating a birthday, the staff noticed and provided icecream with a candle on top! The items on the menu are wide and varied. The spice level can be adjusted from 1-5. Even 1 (mild) is quite spicy. I ordered a papaya salad and the fried rice that's considered to be a Favorite. I haven't come across a bad dish yet so I want to boldly say that all the food is very good. Everything is kept quite clean and the ambiance is beautiful!

I recently visited Thai House in Redlands on a Friday night around 8 p.m. craving some Thai food…read moreand remembered how much I enjoyed this place when I first tried it for lunch. Dinner had a completely different vibe. The restaurant was busy, which was great to see, and the parking lot was completely full. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away and quickly seated. Our table was already set up with menus, and we were looking forward to taking our time, relaxing, and enjoying the evening. However, I felt like the service was a bit rushed. There was a young woman and a gentleman helping us, and the gentleman in particular kept coming back asking if we were ready to order and whether we had enough time to look at the menu. I usually like to ask for recommendations and what's popular, but when I asked, the response was basically that there were too many popular dishes and asked what I wanted instead. We decided to start with an appetizer and continue chatting, but we were approached again about ordering before we were really ready. We eventually ordered the Pad See Ew and fried rice, and both dishes were delicious. I always ask for the chili peppers on the side, and they never disappoint. The food itself was very good, and the lively Friday night atmosphere made for a great experience overall. While I wasn't a fan of feeling rushed by the servers, I still enjoyed the evening. Thai House has great vibes on a Friday night and is definitely a place I'd recommend for a date night or a family dinner. I'll be back, and hopefully next time we can enjoy the meal at a more relaxed pace. Good times roll!

Saturday at noon? There's a 99% chance you'll find us at Pho Ha -- because if we're letting the…read morekids choose, this is where they land every time. They're obsessed with the pho and the rice dishes, and they lovingly call pho "white noodle," which isn't technically correct... but it is adorable. There's something comforting about this place...warm bowls, familiar smells, and that instant inhale-exhale when the food hits the table. I absolutely love Vietnamese food! Lately I've been locked into #34 Cơm Bì Chả Thịt Nướng. That BBQ pork paired with the shredded pork and the mystery meat loaf situation? I don't ask questions. I just eat. Every bite hits...savory, slightly sweet, deeply satisfying. No notes. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee with condensed milk is jet-engine fuel. One glass and suddenly you're operating at 200% productivity, answering emails, solving life's problems, maybe even reorganizing your pantry (I can attest to this). Meanwhile, my husband has been the most adventurous eater here -- Bo Luc Lac, fried chicken dishes, BBQ chicken rice, cha gio (those chicken egg rolls are SO GOOD). He hasn't missed yet. If you ever want to find us on a Saturday, just stroll into Pho Ha. We'll be there -- slurping noodles, sipping coffee, and thanking the universe for good food and amazing broth.

We went to Yamaava casino for a few days and I was craving sushi but wasn't too familiar with the…read morearea. So, of course, I look on Yelp and came across Nko Niko sushi, which is regarded as one of the best sushi spots in Redlands. I actually went as far as double checking on reddit and the votes were definitely in! This place seemed legit so I had to try it. It's located in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. There are several restaurants in the area, while Niko Niko is tucked away near the water fountains out front. As I arrived, they quickly sat me at the bar area and my typical rainbow roll and I tried their snow cone roll. The rolls were so good and the fish was fresh! I loved the sweet sauce that was added to the snow cone roll. After about 20 mins, the chef, who's name is Yaser, started asking me what my favorite fish is and why I like it. I told him Albacore and he instantly makes me some concoction with ponzu sauce which was fire. He then asked me if I like salmon and I told him yes and he makes me a seared salmon roll with orange sauce and pepper. By this time I'm stuffed but enjoying this experience. He made going to a sushi restaurant interesting again like when I first tried sushi. We start talking about Japan and he ask me if I ever had salmon skin. I tell him absolutely not and that when I bake salmon I usually take the skin off. He then tells me that I HAVE to try a salmon skin handroll so I figured I should just go with it. My mind was blown!! I actually like salmon skin lol. It was so good! Overall, I had an amazing experience at Niko Niko and Chef Yaser. I left him a generous tip for the experience and he changed the way I will forever dine at a sushi bar now. If you're in the area, please stop at Niko for some fresh tasty sushi and an excellent sushi experience with sushi chef's that know what they're doing. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

To my surprise, I ended up trying a new drink that left quite the impression. On the barista's recommendation, I tried a roasted matcha drink called hojicha. The flavor was Salted Honeybee off their spring specialty drink menu and it tasted both delightful and unique. It had a slightly nutty, cocoa-like flavor that wasn't as earthy as regular matcha or as bold as coffee. The cold foam was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the drink. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to try something a little different than your usual coffee order!

Had an early birthday lunch here with my friend and her boyfriend, we all enjoyed our meals!…read more My friend ordered the French toast, her partner got the breakfast burrito, but they ended up switching because she liked his better! While her bf usually doesn't like lavender, he said the French toast was sweet enough that the lavender wasn't overpowering or too strong. I tried the Tuscan sammie, it was sooo good! Very light and juicy at the same time Fair warning, they don't bring the drinks to you, and we hadn't heard ours being called so they sat at the counter for a while oops! My friend and I were surprised because they put cinnamon on top of her hot cocoa and my iced mocha (I generally don't like cinnamon, so I wish I knew this beforehand to ask not to include it). Either ways, the drinks were rich and flavorful! They also made pretty latte art in the shape of a heart on my friend's bf's latte Our server was hilarious! He brought out plates and I was so excited thinking it was ours so I said "oh!" and he gently corrected me saying it was for the next table over. I was a little embarrassed so I stayed quiet when he brought our food, and he joked "you're not gonna say it this time?" BAHAH had our whole table laughing They accidentally gave us a grilled cheese instead of the Tuscan sandwich I had ordered, and fixed it for us before we even noticed. Strangely though, they took back the grilled cheese? We hadn't touched it, but it feels like a waste if they just tossed it, and I sure hope they didn't end up giving it to whoever had originally ordered it since it sat at our table for a few minutes...
