Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

Every single dish is amazing, and even though I've developed my go-to staples, there's always something new worth trying. Favorites include the sum woo sen (clear bean thread noodle salad) and the stir-fried eggplant, but honestly, there are so many standout dishes that it's hard to narrow it down. Beyond the food, what really makes this restaurant special is the people behind it. The owner is incredibly friendly, humble, and clearly works nonstop day and night to make sure everything is just right. His wife, the chef, consistently turns out flavorful, thoughtful dishes that you can tell are made with care and pride. They're also very clean and did I say friendly? They make you feel like family or a friend. I also work for a company that regularly orders from here, and we're far from the only ones. Large companies like Chevron, Bio-Rad, Kaiser, and many others frequently order as well. Even more impressive, although the restaurant is located in Richmond, companies in Daly City and other cities 20+ miles away go out of their way to order from here. That alone says a lot. This is a small, lovely Thai restaurant that is truly doing its thing by earning loyal customers, making waves well beyond its neighborhood, and absolutely deserving of the praise it gets. Highly recommended. David and wife, you guys rock! The food, service and friendliness totally satisfies every single time.

Food is good, I would you try their food here. However, I would never recommend physically going here. Unbelievably slow service tho they weren't disrespectful or unpleasant they were all too slow for how packed it was getting. I guess there's only two spots for pho in Pinole maybe that's the reason behind this place being acceptable, I would never go here again having to wait so long for every part of dining in a restaurant. Had to ask for one of my dishes and as they brought it out we were already finishing our meals. Also, forgot i ordered the calamari and it came AFTER the sandwich I reminded them to bring out lol. Comedy Food= Good! Would never recommend someone go here for the wait time and service

I was meeting with my close friend (the one who usually goes with me to eat out and try places) and…read morehe told me about this Thai restaurant by his place. Always down to try food, we drove to this restaurant. Parking was easy and spacious and seating was simple. We went in at opening, so we sat down right away. The table we sat on had their light a bit too high, but it was not too much of a bother. I already had in mind what I wanted to order, so we started with appetizers and a soup, prior to getting our entree. Tom Kha (Coconut Soup): I have had this before at other restaurants, so I wanted to compare it this place. Honestly, it was just alright. It had quite a bit of spice to it, since every soup spoonful had some peppers in it. The mushrooms and chicken were good, and the ginger and lemongrass had a nice herby flavor. But it didn't had the same sour taste I was expecting for this soup. It was a bit more sweeter than I would like. Appetizer combo: You get two of, Chicken Satay, Fried wonton, tofu, fried calamari, and spring roll. This was quite good and a nice starter. My favorite was the fried tofu with the sweet Thai chili for dipping. For the price, it is good to share between two people. Pad Gra Prow (Basil Chicken): Always my favorite at eating at any Thai place. I usually go for Basil "protein" or Eggplant "Protein". The Basil leaves added the flavor I expected from this dish and all the vegetables and chicken worked together. The only thing I was disappointed was the spice level. I wasn't asked (unless that cannot be changed) so it was rather mild in any spice level. If I could have made it spicier, I think the dish would have been perfect for me. Overall, I had a great time here. Food was good and company was great. I can see myself coming back here again.

My mom, sister and I found this place randomly on our way home from salsalito realizing the places would probably be closed by the time we got to Sacramento area. We were looking for a Thai restaurant not necessary Lao food which I am less familiar with. It was about 7:30pm when we arrived on a Saturday night and there was only one gentlemen in the astonishment. The walls were painted cute with bowls of curry with the ingredients for that curry surrounding it. We came for Tom Kha gai soup to warm us up since we had been outside walking around in salsalito and the high of the day was only 51. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn't very warm and cozy like we were hoping. The lady that helped us was super nice though and got us hot water with lemon and even filled up my water bottle with hot water before we left. We just needed a light dinner so we ordered spring rolls with crispy tofu and and Tom Kha soup with chicken to share. food came out fast and was pretty good. Spring rolls were fresh with carrots and cuc / noodles but I don't remember herbs and the dipping sauce was decent. Not super flavorful but good enough. I love flavor so wouldn't have minded some more ginger or spice. Like a not too intense peanut butter sauce. I am not sure if this is normal of Lao thai spring rolls. The Tom Kha gai soup was good, not what I remember exactly from the soup I loved as a teenager but still had the coconut milk base with mushrooms, lemongrass, lime and chicken. Fish sauce stuck out to me in this variation of the soup when I remember only tasting coconut milk and more lime with lemongrass and spices with chicken and veggies. Maybe I just had some damn good Tom Kha gai as I kid lol, but I will keep searching for a spot that can make it like that! Good enough for a quick bite on the road. Thank you for your help and kindness dear!
