    Garlic Pork Ribs

    BEST THAI & LAO FOOD in all of solano area. I been meaning to write a review for quite some time now. This place is my absolute favorite to come and enjoy some Bomb Thai food, that I have became a weekly regular. FOOD 5/5 : Food is very flavorful, and tasty. My favorite dishes to get are: Boat noodle soup pork with wide flat noodles. Very nostalgic, and traditional flavors. Chicken noodle soup w/wide flat noodles, ground chicken, and calamari. This is another favorite soup of mines. If you enjoy clear broth. Very comforting, and my absolute favorite. Papaya Salad Lao style- I really appreciate that the owner takes their time to hand chop the papaya (the traditional way) instead of shredding it. Its nice and crunchy. Full of "sam rot" (sour, sweet salty) and of course spicy. Garlic Pork Ribs - nice mini ribs with a tangy dipping sauce. Khao mun gai- hainan style chicken. Delicious with their house made sauce. Literally one of the best sauces around. Larb- very fresh salad. Love the flavor, and smell. Lots of herbs. Sooo many other other yummy dishes, but those are my most favorite. They are are the spicier side so I do recommend ordering medium or mild. SERVICE: 5/5 Very friendly staff and owner. All Hard working, and keeps busy. Always attentive, and great about refilling water. Love having small conversations with them all. ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 very Spacious. Good for dine in & big parties. Cozy darker lighting with nice creative Thai decor. Highly recommend! You're in for a treat.

    Stopped here for lunch today. It's a dimly lit restaurant. The food was excellent, well satisfied. Everything tasted homemade and was flavorful. The service was fast and easy. Will come back here again to try their other dishes.

    Was looking for a Thai place while in a nearby city and found this resto while browsing through Yelp. I came at a time when I was the only customer inside since it was early. Food is good. Service is great. Server was attentive, observant, and was kind enough to show me how he made Vietnamese coffee when I was curious how it was done. He was also accommodating when he offered to have my food adjusted in the kitchen when it was not spicy enough for me. He also asked if I needed another plate, which I politely refused, when he saw me slicing all of my food into smaller pieces first before eating them. The place is festively decorated, one could see a variety and abundance of Asian decor. It has a down-to-earth yet very warm and welcoming vibe. Food ratings: Tom Yung: 4/5 Rad Nah: 4/5 It could do with a bit more broccoli in it. Spicy Egglant: 3/5 Vietnamese Coffee: 3/5

    Beef drunken noodles and shrimp drunken noodles

    This is a great Thai restaurant!! We had beef drunken noodles and shrimp, drunken noodles and then mango sticky rice. I originally got it to go, but I tasted it before we left and ordered another one. I was so happy with the quality of All of the food!!

    This place was highly recommended by a friend and it did not dissappoint. Came on a Friday for lunch and was able to be seated quickly. Love that they were able to accomodate my food allergy.Waiter was awesome and always checked on us. We ordered a few items to try Lao's style papaya salad,chicken larb,boat noodle, lao sausage (my fave flavor was good and it was crispy),chicken yellow curry and sticky rice.We got medium spice and just be warned they are SPICY, if you don't like spice try mild first. Love to comeback and try otherdishes.

    A friend recommended this because I was craving boat noodles, and I'm so glad she did, because now I have my go-to boat noodle fix! The interior was nice and well-kept. I love the very unique designs. Employees are attentive and nice. Our waters were always filled, frequently asking us if we needed anything, and they always had a smile on their faces. Boat Noodles was 9/10 - love everything about it, and the spiciness was just right for us, and I love the hint of sweetness, it complements the dish even more. Chicken wings 7/10 - a little bit dry, the seasoning was OK, and the sauce that came with it helped a lot! Overall, I am satisfied with the food and will come back here.

    I was delightfully surprised by my visit to Bhan Thai Lao Kitchen. Service was efficient! The food came out hot and delicious. I ordered the Tom Kha and Beef Salad. Both were fresh. I would visit again.

    Vacaville has a solid variety of Thai food options, and this place definitely stands out. It's a great spot for a relaxed family sit-down meal, with plenty of parking and a welcoming ambiance inside. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our visit. The soup was hearty and flavorful, and the spice levels were perfectly balanced across the dishes. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I would definitely come back again.

    PUMPKIN AND EGGPLANTS with sautéed veggies, added chicken.  I felt they could have given more. An example of shrink-flation for foreals.

    This Thai Lao combo restaurant offers the usual Thai menu and Lao dish that I'm unfamiliar with. We started with the fresh spring roll appetizer, which came with our entrees. Then the pumpkin/eggplant entree but wasn't pumpkin, was squash. The chicken was scarce, barely enough for two people to have three each bite size pieces. Since we weren't familiar with Lao cuisine, I asked the server for a Lao noodle dish. He pointed to the menu on the wall and suggested tom koa poon, which tastes like a papaya salad with thin rice noodles. I expected a stir-fry noodle dish, so I learned for future to ask for more details. After this party of six left, we were the only ones in the restaurant for a while. I observed two or three to-go orders during our dinner. There was only one server who bussed tables and also handled the cash register. It's surprising they sell Cafe de Monde coffee. Overall, I'd rate this place a 3.5. And I'm not sure I'd return.

    Bhan Thai Lao Kitchen is a great find in Vacaville. This place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, plenty of parking, and kind of an authentic feel. We started with the chicken satay, paired with an amazing peanut sauce. This was my favorite! The chicken tasted great and the peanut sauce is amazing! For the mains, we went with the chicken pad kee mao and beef sweet Thai basil. The pad kee mao is a little on the sweeter side but still really tasty, and the beef basil was flavorful with a little spice, lived this dish as well. Our server was friendly enjoyed the help ordering. I wouldn't mind coming back the next time im in Vacaville.

    I am always looking for Lao and or Lao Thai restaurants. I am always curious to see what traditional dishes are available on the menu. While in Vacaville I discovered Bhan Thai Lao Kitchen, a little ways from the shopping center but easy to find and plenty of parking. The restaurant was decorated with traditional Thai and Lao items, which I thought was cute and has that authentic feel. We started with the chicken satay as an appetizer and for our mains we chose the chicken pad kee mao and beef sweet Thai basil. I was torn between the drunken noodles and the pad kee mao. I was warned that the pad kee mao is on the sweeter side and yes indeed it was. Savory and sweet. The beef sweet Thai basil had lots of flavor and a tad spicy. There were so many different dishes on the menu that I wanted to try and I'll save that for next time. The service was friendly and fast.

    Boat Boat Noodle Soup
    Stuart S.

    Great little Thai spot. Well decorated, tables are adequately spaced apart and the soft music made for a nice relaxing lunch. It was cold and rainy out so I came for pho but enjoyed with the boat noodle soup. Medium spice was strong enough to clear my sinuses but mild enough to still taste the beef and vegetables in the soup. The server was attentive but not intrusive. 10/10 Will eat here again.

Part of the…read morereason I chose Buddha Thai was because of their new menu items, particularly the ALLIGATOR dishes. The 3 different alligator dishes. I chose the Alligator Drunken Noodles. The alligator meat was soft and not chewy or dry and "tastes like chicken." You literally cannot tell the difference by look and taste. Texturally, the meat has a slightly more chew to it than chicken, but other than that 99%+ people would not know the difference. Other dishes we had were: Pad See You (beef), Mango Curry, Tom Kha Soup, Eggplant S'il Vous Plait and Papaya Salad. Everything was delicious! Service: Great! Waitress was very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and refill our water without asking. She also came by when it was the last call before the kitchen closed to see if we wanted to order other dishes or desserts. The prices have gone up some from their old menu, but the portions have also gotten bigger. Their new menu items are great and I look forward to trying out more of their new items as well as the old, traditional items.

The place serves authentic Thai dishes and it is best to share family style if you come with several people so that you can experience more dishes. Started with a Sake "Mohito". It was very good. Mild flavor and not crazy strong. I nursed it throughout my entire meal. The Fresh Spring Rolls were as the name advertised. Vegetarian with tofu inside. Interesting thing is that it was served with two sauces, but the traditional peanut sauce but also a Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I decided to combine both sauces onto my Spring Rolls. Surprisingly, the two sauces complemented each other pretty well. The Yellow Curry was smooth and thick (not watery like some places). Rich is flavor. I can probably just eat some plain rice with just the curry sauce and I would be happy. It's that good. The Crispy Chicken with Ginger Rice was a crowd favorite as well. The chicken itself was solid but pretty standard. The ginger rice added a unique flavor to the dish. I've never had ginger rice at a restaurant before. We also had a stir fry dish that was composed of asparagus and a protein of your choice. We chose chicken. It was also solid but not as unique as the other two entrees we had. Still same cute modern interior. It was VERY busy on a Saturday evening so service may be a bit slower. But the food was great and staff was very friendly.

We ordered the Thai tea, fried shrimp appetizer, fried chicken fried rice, and the pad see you. We also did a pad see you to go. The thai tea and shrimp appetizer was good. Unfortunately the entrees were subpar. There was just no flavor to the dishes I had to ask for sauces and chili oil to try to make it taste better. The fried chicken was very crispy but again there was no seasoning it just tasted like oil. After eating we waited about 20 minutes for our check. The other wait staff would go to their table and directly leave. No one checked on us after we asked for sauces for the food. I had to get up and go inside to ask for to go containers and had to wait even longer for the check although I asked for both at the same time. I also had to ask repeatedly for the Togo order and was left waiting on that then waited even longer with the waitress never coming back for the check. I had to end up walking inside and paying with a random person at the counter. This totaled over a 40 minute wait with my family eventually leaving with the kids and me waiting to box our food and pay because it was taking so long which is unacceptable. Unfortunately with the overall flavor issues and the lack of customer service I won't be back.

We frequent the Vietnamese restaurant, but never really think about going to Tom Yum Goong until today. We were originally going to Pho Lee Hoa Phat for dinner, but when we walked up I asked my son if he want to eat Thai instead which he and my wife decided they wanted to eat instead of Vietnamese. Ambiance (3.5/5 stars): first impressions when we walked in is that it is dark and needed more lighting. After sitting down, I noticed that one side of the restaurant was full of random antique items. I overheard someone asking them about the antiques and the owner said that her husband buys the antiques at estate sales, etc and that they are open to offers to purchase them. There are some Thai decor in the restaurant. Older 70's/80's music was playing in the background so it didn't feel like being in a Thai Restaurant especially with all the American antiques on one side of the restaurant. There are a handful of tables (seating for 4 people), but they do have room for larger parties. Food (4.5/5 stars): We really enjoyed our food. They had great flavors. The portion size was not big, but the price also reflected the smaller portion size compared to other Thai restaurants in town. Dishes: - Mango Salad: nice chunks of mango, mixed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, mint, cilantro, carrots, cashews, shrimp and the chef's special mango sauce. It was a nice refreshing dish and was once of our favorite dishes that we ordered today. - Super Pad Thai w/ Chicken: flavorful, authentic Pad Thai flavors - Moo Yang (B.B.Q. Pork): nice tasting grilled pork with sweet chili dipping sauce - Pad Ka Prow (Pad Basil - Beef): nice flavor, had a lot of green beans (not usually in Pad Ka Prow), but I liked the flavors. I always welcome extra veggies. Service (4/5 stars): The waitress/owner was very nice and was pretty attentive overall. She was the only one waiting tables and with take out orders as well as helping some in the kitchen. She came by a few times to check on us and refill our waters. It was a slow night for dinner (~7pm, Friday), only one other table eating and 2 take out orders while we were there, so not sure how the service would have been if they were busy. Food came out relatively quick. Tom Yum Goong is a kind of hidden in Vacaville. They have great tasting food and would be much busier at a better location. They do have smaller portion sizes, but prices do reflect that. Between Vacaville and Fairfield, I feel Vacaville's Thai restaurants are much tastier than any in Fairfield and Tom Yum Goong is no exception. If you are craving some good Thai food, give them a try. You might even find a piece of antique that you may want to purchase.

    Last chance to have food at Barzar Eatery tomorrow, Sunday, 7/26! They're closing after tomorrow…read moreand then hoping to reopen... closer to the Bay Area proper! Come early or you'll likely not get to have what you're eyeing on. When: Saturday dinner at 5pm (came when they were opening door) What: Chicken satay, pork satay, beef satay, seafood laksa, hainanese chicken rice, fried spring roll Experience: Superb food!! It is a lot of food, but we wiped out all of it among two adults and two young kids. The satays were SO GOOD! Hands down the best I've had in the USA, and on par with the best satay places I've had in Southeast Asia! Our favorites including both kids were beef and pork. So tender, so flavorful and delicious even without using the peanut sauce. We even got another two orders of each to take home! Seafood laksa was such a big portion with good amount of seafood. If you've had Singaporean or Malaysian laksa, this is different. Different in a good way since the owner chef is from Indonesia. The Hainanese chicken rice was tasty. Turmeric rice was different since I'm used to the ginger chicken rice, but the poached chicken was very well made. Under the chicken skin was a layer of gelatin which happens when the chicken is poached and then cool in a meticulous method. Together with the ginger scallion oil sauce, it was umami! Fried spring rolls were crispy and good flavor of meat and vegetables inside. Together with their house lime chili sauce, it was a party in the mouth!

(I also paid using the online services, but I did see someone paying in person.) I was drawn to Bazar Eatery when I saw they had Laksa; I ordered the Seafood Laksa. Ever since I had it in Singapore, I've been hoping to find somewhere that serves this soup. It was nice to find somewhere that serves it, but it doesn't compare to the flavor of the laksa I had in Singapore. (Maybe it's a different variant of the dish, but I preferred the more coconut heavy broth flavor that I had over there.) I still enjoyed this dish overall though. I also tried the Hainanese Chicken. It really wasn't anything amazing, but this could be due to the dish being served with regular, white rice; they had run out of turmeric rice for the day. I also had the kumquat sparkling drink. The menu notes it's sour, but I didn't think it was overly so. It was still more sweet than sour in my opinion. I enjoyed the drink, and it tasted like they used real fruit rather than artificial syrups. I think the portions are a bit small, particularly in the case of the Hainanese Chicken, but it's nice that they served complimentary shrimp chips. Service came off as genuinely welcoming/friendly, even if we weren't checked on after the food came out.
