Small, clean, organized and neatly interiorly designed place. Super friendly and warm reception. Much appreciated for first timer. Great taste fusion foods Has its own flavor identity different from other places we've tried. Every plate was beautifully presented. We've been to other restaurants with high level presentation but failed on the food taste. This one excelled on both., Hospitality and professionalism undeniable. Chef/owner took time and came out to check on us and other customers. Genuine concern and hospitality. You can feel her passion in what she does. Definitely a place to visit over and over again. read more

From the moment I walked in, the cozy vibes wrapped around us like a warm blanket straight from the dryer. The staff greeted us with such kindness. I felt like i was in a Disney movie where everyone is smiling. As soon as I tasted the food though, i concluded why they were full of joy. We kicked things off with the Papaya Salad (mild) -- fresh, zesty, and so addictive. Next time? We're going full spice-mode. Then came the Pumpkin Curry Broth with purple rice. A rich flavor of explosion that tasted like fall and happiness had a baby Shrimp Summer Rolls weren't just appetizers, they were edible art. Bright, floral, and bursting with flavor. The peanut sauce did not fall short either. The Drunken Noodles were insane and with their house chili oil on the side? OMG or as i would say in spanish (no manches!). I needed a fan. but will definitely go spicier next time around. I got a level 3 and if ur into spice them i would suggest a level 4. To cool down, I sipped on their Thai Matcha Chai Tea, which was sooo good , energizing ans refreshing!! Presentation? On point. Each dish looked like it belonged in a culinary gallery. Plenty of parking too. Chapter 2 -- you've got me hooked. I can't wait for Chapter 3 (aka my next visit). read more

Chapter Two - Passion Calamansi drink - Thai Near Me - Loma Linda, California

Even though I frequent Redlands quite often, I had never heard of Chapter Two until recently. After visiting, I think this place deserves more recognition for its quality food, service, and aesthetic! I went by the recommendation of a local friend and we ordered pad thai (with chicken), fried rice (with tofu), rawang curry (with chicken), and mango sticky rice. Everything was beautifully plated and I appreciated the careful attention to detail. I was pleasantly surprised by the rich flavors of the curry and pad thai, despite their modern twists on traditional dishes. The pad thai featured noodles that were thinner and more stringy than usual, and the rawang curry was slightly more watery than I prefer. However, when combined with the fried rice, each dish really came to life. That said, they were enjoyable on their own as well. Every place has its own take on mango sticky rice, and this one features purple sticky rice, sliced mangoes, and a side of strawberries. While it wasn't my favorite, the dish was delicately flavored and had a nice sweetness! read more

Chapter Two is loma linda's hidden gem! It's a shabby looking restaurant on the outside, and looks like a tiny old diner on the inside. 3/5 for ambiance. The food however was gorgeous! Presentation was beautiful and pricing was excellent. I will say... I wish their menu had pics and descriptions as some of their names were unfamiliar. -Pad thai ($12) was a solid 4.5/5. Heavy on the sweetness and featured thin noodles. The chicken had a distinct marinade that I wasn't a huge fan of, but still very tasty! -Khao krug kapi ($14) 4.5/5. A flavor BOMB! It was genuinely delicious, but very.... heavy on the fish sauce(??) I can't distinguish exactly what it was, but I could only eat a little at a time. I think it would benefit from a higher vegetable ratio to balance the heavy flavors. Again, still yummy and worth a try! I had plenty for leftovers the next day which I added more veg to and it was fantastic. Overall, still very excited to come back and try their other offerings! Thanks Chapter Two read more

Is this place even real? It doesn't seem possible in this day and age to find a restaurant that serves authentic, flavorful, aesthetic, and veggie friendly dishes crafted with love and care for-- no joke, about $10 per plate?!! I was blown away with my experience at Chapter Two tonight. It's 5 minutes from the gym and I was hungry so I pretty randomly decided on this place. The exterior is really unassuming. It looks a little run down and the place is smaller than the Mochinut across the street. Don't let this dissuade you, because the food is otherworldly good. The interior of the restaurant is pretty small, but it's cute and kitschy. There was no wait time on a Thursday evening, and service was prompt and super sweet and friendly. Food came out fast and was the best Thai food I've ever had. Each plate was flavorful, fresh, and generously seasoned. I love that dishes include a choice of protein for no up charge. That meant I could get tofu and make my meal veg friendly. The food is so cute and aesthetic. Many of the plates feature floral garnishes and beautiful colors (blue rice, blue rice noodles in the spring rolls). The chef makes not just food, but beautiful works of art. Appetizers and dessert are under $10 and entrees are about $15-$18. It's unbelievable. I'm not sure how this place has managed to stay open for a decade in this economy with these prices but I'm so glad they're still here. One thing I would suggest is better menus. They are a bit sparse and I think it'd be helpful to be able to read short descriptions of each dish. Some items are traditional Thai dishes that I have to google (a little hard because spellings differ) and some are just kind of mysterious ("chicken slammers" ?). Also, I was pleasantly surprised that there were different choices of protein. I found that out when the server asked me. It might be nice for customers to be able to see on the menu what's available for each dish before they order. Overall, 10000/10 for this place. I'll be back-- probably no less than once a week! If you're in the area, please swing by and give this wonderful restaurant a try. Thank you to the staff at Chapter Two for an incredible night of great food! read more

Been wanting to try this place for some time. Unfortunate that they are closed during the weekends because this Thai restaurant is now my new favorite spot! Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. All perfectly savoring, not too sweet, not too salty...just right. Small and cozy. Limited seating indoors and outdoors. Either go in early or do take outs. Friendly servers. Had the chance to meet the chef. She said they plan on opening weekends soon. I really hope they do!! Cuz you've won my heart :D read more

The first time I came to chapter two was back in 2021 during COVID era. Since then, this place has had major changes and upgrades, all for the better! This has become my favorite hidden gem, I hope it does not get too popular, just so that I don't have to wait in a line haha. Food: came back this time with my boyfriend and other work friends, we ordered various dishes, mostly vegetarian since one of the group members did not eat meat or seafood. Every dish was simply amazing and bursting with flavor. Crying tiger steak was maybe a little overcooked and slightly dry, but the wrapped sticky rice was delicious. Drunken noodle had packed umami flavor, pumpkin curry had a slight kick to it, and the pumpkin was a joy to dig into. Pineapple fried rice was both savory and sweet, I couldn't stop my spoon from going that direction. Price: most dishes ranged around $12-14, but some other specialty dishes went up to $18-19. Even so, I'd say the costs are fairly reasonable for the quality food we got. FYI, they charge about 3% extra if you pay with card, seems like they prefer cash. Ambiance: the restaurant is located right on the side of big street Redlands Blvd. There are about 2 tables outside on patio and only about 4 tables inside, fairly small place. But the interior is colorful and cozy and cute, the dishes are also presented so well and cute too! Service: great service, our server was not quiet fluent in English, but she still was able to answer our questions and gave awesome recommendations Parking: there is a small parking lot associated with the restaurant structure, had no trouble finding a spot on a weekday lunch time. read more

Thai food is all about Redlands and Loma Linda and Chapter Two apparently had a whole makeover, not that I'd know. It's a tiny space inside but it's nice and quaint, and the menu's a very fair price. Drunken noodles, pumpkin curry, pineapple fried rice, and crying tiger (sort of like a steak dish with sticky rice) all made for a pretty solid meal. Flavors are popping, portions are plenty, and taste buds are pleasured. Is there any major distinction that sets Chapter Two apart from other Thai restaurants? The menu's definitely more intriguing with ingredients that just work well. So yeah, this is worth a visit or four. read more

An unexpected find, but this is now my favorite Thai restaurant. Despite the restaurant itself looking a little old and maybe even a little shabby, the dishes were beautiful and plated artfully. They resemble dishes from much pricier places, so the affordability here really surprised me. I don't think my pictures do them justice at all. Anyhow, the food was excellent. I wasn't sure what the chicken slammers would be like when I ordered them, but they were delicious (and there were way more than I thought there would be!). I also ordered the pad thai, which was an amazing mix of sweet and savory, and the mango sticky rice, which came with purple rice and strawberry. On a second visit, ordering takeout, I ordered the Chinese broccoli. I don't have a picture of it, but this dish was too oily-- It was a lot heavier than the other dishes I had at the restaurant in person, but it could be an issue with the different plating. Still, not a big deal, and it did taste really good. I'll definitely be back! read more

Word on the street, chapter two got a new chef? I left feeling content and happy. That's what matters the most! Small area with limiting seats, but waiters/waitress are quick to serve. Chef came out to say hello for each table. Drinks were pretty but taste was eh-okay. I like how they served Thai food that you don't normally see in a typical Thai restaurant. All of the food that we ordered were delish. Usually chicken dish has a little "smelly" taste, but this one didn't! Will return. read more

I went on a Friday night and luckily it wasn't too busy, my friend and I were seated right away! Our server and one other server were very kind! Food also came out quickly and prices are fair. I got the khao soi with tofu. It wasn't on the menu but I had seen it on yelp so asked about it. Good broth, just wish there was more. Tofu was good too. Noodles were a little stuck together, but still good. Big portion size, I had enough to take home for a second meal! I also got the mango sweet rice to take home. Beautiful presentation. Mango was good but a little fiber-y, might be in its off season. Purple rice was used so it has a little more texture. Perfect Asian dessert - not too sweet! read more

This is the best restaurant in Redlands and Loma Linda hands down. Every single dish was prepared with care and you could tell the Chef truly cared and loved this food. The dishes were all plated very aesthetically and the dishes we ordered were all less than 15 dollars. You're not only getting quality, but you're also getting quantity here. It's a no brainer. We tried the slammers chicken, the pad Thai and the drunken noodles and each one of them was flavorful and was not too heavy. For desert, we got the mango sticky rice which my friend said was one of the best that she's ever had. Even though it was not mango season when we came, the mango was still very sweet. The staff was also attentive and friendly. It feels like you're eating in your mom's kitchen and it truly felt like we were at home. This is the underrated gem, and we will be sure to come back to try other things on the menu. We recommend everyone come before they end up on the Michelin list. read more

You can get discount for cash , Zelle and Venmo though they accept all credit cards . Local love this place for sure . read more

This place looks super sketchy outside. But it's definitely a gem. The seating is very limited. I think it could probably fit 10 maybe 15 people inside at most. The Food was mostly good. We ordered drunken noodles, ka prow with pork belly, tum yum soup, papaya salad (Lao style), and mango sticky rice. The ka prow was really good, prob one of the best basil thai dishes I've had. I was really disappointed with the Lao style papaya salad. It was good, but I've definitely had better just from the Lao supermarkets. The Service was slow at first, but got better as the food started coming. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. read more

After being closed for 3 months for renovations, Chapter Two is finally back! I love this place for a few reasons. 1. Food is tasty without being overly salty and the presentation is beautiful! 2. Staff is extremely friendly 3. Prices are CHEAP. Although note that the menus list cash prices so if you use credit card plan on paying an extra 3%. 4. Small parking lot surrounding the small building. Cute interior. Nice music usually. Very clean on the inside. There's a bathroom outdoors that I've never used so can't speak to its condition. Of note, they may be closing in summer 2023 again but not sure yet so I'd call before heading over (done that 3x before and apparently never learned). read more

So impressed by this beautiful Thai place. Service is top notch. It's almost like you're eating in someone's house. It's comfortable and inviting. The food is presented beautifully with bright colors. The pad Thai, three musketeers dish, and summer rolls were spectacular. Everything is made fresh right there. There isn't a lot of seating inside, but there are also some chairs outside. Pricing was reasonable for the amount of food you get (and leftovers!). I loved the decor and the little flowers everywhere. What a special place, we are lucky to have it. read more

I'm feeling a bit out of the loop since this place has been here for a decade and I just discovered it. Can it still be considered Hot and New to me? The food is amazing! Fresh, colorful and Master Chef presentable. I can't wait to return. I had the green curry with tofu and it was delicious. The spice was on the + side comparatively. Enjoyed the blue rice. My colleagues let me taste their dishes, vegetable fried rice and the pad Thai. Both exceptional, so much so that I'm inclined to rank them both as personal all time favorites of all the Thai places I've visited. Dining area is small, customer service is great and there is plenty of parking. Once you enter the restaurant, it feels as though you're stepping back in time. There's a slowness that is so much needed today. read more

Don't sleep on this modest Thai dining experience. Within its humble ambience is a menu worth exploring. There was so much there that we wanted to try. We decided to go with our usual: Pad See Ewe and an order of Chinese Broccoli and Crispy Pork Belly. We were first served with the house salad which was a healthy helping of fresh cut veggies with a refreshing and slightly citrusy dressing. Soon followed by the chef-recommended appetizer: Slammers. They came fresh and hot. You could see steam as you bit into the crunchy outside. The flavor just as fresh as the salad that came before it. The main dishes were just as good. The noodles of the Pad See Ewe were not mushy or overcooked. And there was a generous helping of meat in it. The Chinese Broccoli almost tasted homemade. (Just the right amount of cooking so it retains its snap.) A perfect compliment was the crispy pork belly. Oh, and the blue rice... it's just for color and presentation. It tasted just like regular asian rice, fluffy and perfectly steamed. Great discovery for this short trip. And the price was on point. A bargain for any budget foodie. Seating is a little limited but they are a full service restaurant. There is outdoor seating if you prefer. They also have bottled sodas available for those who want some pop. We didn't get to try to desserts this time but perhaps something to discover for the next trip. read more

I visited this restaurant a few years back, and I must confess, my recent visit was a delightful revelation. We decided to come back here as the owner of a restaurant that wasn't around any longer (Jan-In Jan-O) said he is at Chapter Two. We were so disappointed when that restaurant didn't succeed. So we were excited to see if similar food was served, especially since we were so impressed at that other restaurant. Perhaps time has added a sprinkle of magic to their culinary prowess, or maybe my palate has evolved, but the flavors now seem more refined and truly unforgettable. There is definitely a marked difference from my first experience to this. The harmonious blend of spices, the presentation and good service took me on an unexpected gastronomic journey. I don't remember it being good before, but now? It's nothing short of extraordinary. It's clear that the chef from Jan-In Jan-O has upgraded their menu here. My only gripe is how hot it is in the restaurant. We've been in a heat wave, so it's to no fault of the restaurant. But it was just so hot. Next time we'll sit outdoors if the temperature is still scorching. We are so happy the owner of this restaurant is still around making some amazing Thai food for us to enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a unique Thai Food experience. Such a great date night for us. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Disappointed. They gave me the smallest portion of blue rice I have ever seen and then a larger portion of the turmeric rice. Make it make sense.

It was a bummer honestly. read more

best. curry. EVER. I am not even joking i have been to millions of Thai places and love curry from every cuisine, but the curry here is next level. My pumpkin curry was more than just sweet and savory, but had so many underlying flavors I'm not even sure home cooking could replicate. the flavors were DANCING ON MY TONGUE BRO!? This spot is easily one of the most authentic Thai restaurants you can find, so don't miss it! It's on the side of the road in a small, cozy homelike building that can be easy to pass, but it's absolutely worth going inside for a small break with friends or easy takeout. the workers inside were so welcoming and kind, and they always change up the specials they have. plus, you know it's good when english isn't spoken primarily!

I still don't know what Slammers are but they were delicious. In fact, everything we ordered was a rush of freshness and flavor. After the Slammers appetizer, we had papaya salad, pad Thai with tofu, and pineapple shrimp fried rice. Dishes were plated with obvious intentions to impress diners by looks alone, but with eating satisfaction to match the attractive presentation. Our server was so kind and attentive. I assured her we would be back to eat again because we enjoyed everything so much and did not have room left for the dessert she suggested. The restaurant is small, intimate, cute, and clean. There is also a patio for dining, which is right on Redlands Blvd. Plenty of parking in a private lot on both sides of this restaurant. We arrived right after they opened for dinner and the tables quickly filled up. I can see why. read more

Has its own parking. Restaurant is close to a busy street. It looks like it's in a random area, but I think that's its quirk. I've never tried better Thai food than this place. The first time I tried it, it was taken to-go. I kept saying to all the dishes that "its so delicious!" I tried the pad Thai, pad see ew and a couple more dishes I did not know the name of but they were all good! Nothing disappointing. There is good Thai food, but this is DELICIOUS Thai food. The food is decorated to perfection w blue rice and colorful flowers. This place is such a treat. Can't wait to try more dishes! They do close in the middle of the day and I believe they are closed during the weekends. read more
