    Garlic Pork Riblets 5/5!!!
    Alissa Marie B.

    Everything was incredible from start to finish. The soup was the perfect warm-up--fragrant, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The pad thai was spot-on: great texture, perfectly balanced, not too sweet or heavy. But the ribs were honestly the highlight. Fall-off-the-bone tender, coated in this sticky, savory glaze with just the right amount of caramelization. You can tell they put love into every dish. So glad we stumbled on this spot--definitely a new favorite in Norco. Friendly staff too!

    Boonsee Paradise  - very good, very hot and very crispy

    There was a constant stream of customers in and out. We will definitely all back. The food came out quickly and was super hot. Both of the dishes were excellent.

    Came here on a random day ! - Service: The girl who served our table is very friendly and welcoming so I like her energy though the food takes a bit long ( I ordered fried fish and crying tiger) it took 15-20mins for the food and the restaurant only has our table but because of how welcoming the girl is, I'm okay with it. And when I checkout there is no bill for me to check but the amount sounds right so im ok with it - Food: The food is really good! Though there are few items that sold out like mango sticky rice or spicy salmon, prob a few more but in overall the food that I ordered is tasty - Ambiance: Everything looks organized and clean

    Best Thai in Corona/Norco! Don't miss out on delicious and affordable Thai food! Their curry is so flavorful and not terribly spicy. Just enough spice to help fight a cold.

    Been to this local thai place many times. We enjoy the pad see ew, glass noodles ( pad woo sen) Tom kha soup. Recently tried the Golden tofu and green curry. I'm adding those to my favorites and go to items. The service is usually pretty good, could be a bit better. The inside is usually kept pretty clean.

    I came here around 1130am to grab lunch Togo. The plaza has a good amount of parking and the restaurant is located in a corner. There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant and it wasn't busy during the time I went. The restaurant is decent and clean. I ordered the pad Thai lunch special which comes with a side salad and veggie egg roll with dipping sauce. The lunch special was about $14. It was a good portion for the pad Thai & I like that they gave me the spices on the side so I can adjust the spice level. I also ordered a papaya salad and that always hits the spot at any Thai restaurant I go to. I also had plenty of leftovers and literally took me 2 tries to finish the whole meal with help from my husband when he got home. Will definitely be back to try their other items.

    We have been coming here since 2023 and slowly just started going down hill. we ordered tom yum soup and got 2 shrimps, mind you it is $2 extra so i guess $1 each per small shrimp, the soup itself tasted too sweet and no sourness to it like its supposed to, got crying tiger and they completely missed the toasted rice powder, the meat was completely raw in the middle, and also they gave us the bottom of the lettuce with the bud on, so gross not edible, and the older gentleman who seems like the owner that works there is just extremely rude to customers. zero customer service at all. food is so so, not sure how they got over 1k reviews..... our families will not be retuning.

    Would recommend this Thai food restaurant! Cute and nicely decorated spot with lots of room to dine in and enjoy the food. The service is great, and amicable. Tried the chicken Pad See Ew, it was a good sized portion, and had super good flavor, didn't have as much broccoli as I would've liked, but delicious nonetheless. The mango sticky rice was also really good, the texture of the rice was perfect and the coconut sauce was rich and complimented the mango so well.

    Yellow Curry and Chinese Broccoli. Each comes with a side of rice. You can choose between Jasmine or brown.

    I was impressed by how attentive the 2 waiters were and how quickly our food came. It felt like we barely sat down and our drinks, appetizer, and main course came one after the other in quick succession. The plastic covers on our boba drinks were cute and the waitress even helped us stab our straws into them. The food was tasty and the portions were big enough for us to have leftovers to take home. Since it's at a strip mall tucked away in a corner away from the street, it might be easy to miss, but it's definitely worth a visit.

    Food tasted good. Would def come back. For some reason it was already 2pm and it got all busy so food was coming in slow and it was only one server which we understand and they forgot some of our orders but we were understanding just cause it was only one person catering to all and we got full already too. Was not able to take a pic of all the food but we loved it here. Def recommend. Love the mango sticky rice and riblet.

    Ordered to go and it was pretty large portions. Pad Thai with pork was spicy, in a good way. There are some pad thai that's sweet and some are salty, this is more on the sweeter side but the spice balances it out very well. They also use real crab in the crab fry rice, very tasty! The egg rolls however were just decent. It's good but somehow it's so doughy inside where it seem uncooked, but I think that's just how it is. Overall it's a good Thai place to eat or order from!

    Bad shrimp tails clearly rotting and smell.
    Jeremy S.

    At first, the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the orange chicken it wasn't soggy, had a nice flavor, and there was just the right amount of sauce. The white rice was also good. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse with the Pad Thai. I paid extra to add shrimp, but the shrimp was spoiled. I ate one before realizing it, and immediately noticed the bad smell and started feeling stomach discomfort. The tails of the shrimp were clearly rotted, which was very concerning. It was even more frustrating to think I had paid extra for this. I'm open to trying new places and usually enjoy giving them a chance, but it's really disappointing when I end up having to leave a review like this.

I spent around $77 including tip which was 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main plates. Actually, they don't have just a side of fried rice, so we were forced to buy it as a main plate. Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

The banchan was delicious and had a nice variety, including radish stem kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes, soybean paste with nuts, fried eggplant, and more. Everything tasted fresh and well made. We started with the fried dumplings, which were crispy on the outside and filled with really tasty filling. The soybean stew was packed with flavor and had potatoes, onions, and zucchini--super comforting. The short ribs were juicy and flavorful, especially with a side of rice. The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce added just the right touch of sweetness. Even the salad was good, with a dressing that wasn't too overpowering. They serve hot barley tea and water, and you can buy canned soft drinks if you want something else. Everything we had was delicious--honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Prices were fair, and the customer service was great. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we were good and even showed us how to make rice porridge using the hot barley tea and the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot, which ended up being really good too. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, well-lit, and has lots of natural color (tans, brown). It appears to have been recently remodeled. There is plenty of seating and open space.

Kimchi was not fermented enough and was a pale orange color, fishcake was not offered without you asking, there were no cucumbers, scallion pancake,seasoned bean sprouts, potatoes, or noodles. The flounder offered was very tasty but again, offered at the end of the meal when we were wrapping up. I'm used to this being offered at the beginning or during meal. I think I would only go back if they ramped up their banchan but I did ask, and they said they won't really rotate their banchan :( staff was very attentive but the food will make or break it for me. Hoping I can retry in the future once they're more established.

Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here.

When I first arrived around 11:00 to 11:30 AM, there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. When we first entered, Host Valerie directed me to wait to the side and said the cashier would help me. The cashier was busy, so I continued waiting patiently. I then noticed there was a separate line on the far right for customers only purchasing pies. Since nobody was assisting that line either, I allowed an elderly woman waiting there to go ahead of me so she could purchase her pie first. By the time my purchase was finally processed, it was already 12:34 PM according to my receipt. After that, Manager Mona informed me that Viri, the cashier on the left side, would help me. Unfortunately, despite telling me she would help me "in one second," she repeatedly assisted other customers before me and allowed multiple people to cut ahead in line. The overall organization and customer service were extremely poor. When placing my order, I specifically informed the staff that my wife is vegetarian and asked that her pancakes not touch the eggs or sausage and that those items remain separated. After waiting a very long time, Viri returned and informed me that the kitchen had made a mistake and had to separate the food. Honestly, I do not even believe the meal was remade properly. The biggest issue came after we got home with our to go order. We discovered hair in the food. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious health and safety concerns. Between the wait time, the confusion with ordering, the repeated customer service issues involving Host Valerie, Manager Mona, and Viri, and then finding hair in the food, the entire experience was extremely frustrating. From the time I arrived until the time I got back home, the process took roughly from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, which was over two hours for a to go order that still ended up having health and sanitation concerns. I understand restaurants can get busy, but poor organization, lack of communication, food handling mistakes, and finding hair in food is simply not acceptable, especially when dietary restrictions were clearly communicated from the beginning.

As for the restaurant itself, it's modern and clean.

It's because the door is made of glass and unlike the other windows it doesn't have signs to block glare. When I was about to leave, I told them there was no more toilet paper in the restroom and they went out of their way to stop what they were doing to get more for me. Apparently, the cabinet inside the restroom was empty, so one of the employees had to call another employee for help and they found more in another cabinet outside the restroom.
