The restaurant had 2 groups dining-in which was odd given the lunch hour. My food was being prepared so I waited and was greeted by a friendly hostess. Great service and hospitality. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. Portion size was good however the noodles were bathing in a pool of sauce. The noodles were rather thick, not what I'm used to for pad see Ew. They were generous with the chicken but only a few pieces of broccoli. Traditionally, this is served w Chinese broccoli, however if you want that, it's $2-3 extra. Plenty for 3 meals but was rather disappointing. Perhaps there are other dishes here that stand out but the jury is out as to whether I'll be back to try something else.

We finally tried SALA Thai after hearing good reviews from locals - but the restaurant is in…read moreLakeville so I'm skeptical of any rave reviews for Thai south of the river. The reviews are valid! It is a tiny place in a strip mall (by Cub and Little Caesars) so ambience is not why you come here. The menu had many authentic Thai dishes, including papaya salad, tom kha gai soup, tom yum soup, and lots of curries and noodle dishes along with favorite Thai starters like spring rolls, egg rolls, chicken satay and gyoza. I went with a coconut curry dish, like a Tom Kha Gai with noodles, and husband got the Pad Thai. Service was fast and the spice level was great. We both ordered medium which was a true medium heat. Non spice fans will want to go with mild. My dish came with a side of pickled papaya - bonus!! I am looking forward to trying more dishes! Again note that it is in a strip mall so take out would probably be a great option. They do not have a liquor license but I will be back for the food.

The space itself is quaint, and minimally decorated with some generic artwork and tables. It's pretty obvious that this spot is primarily for takeout, but we had great service eating in. We ordered the special egg rolls and fried dumplings! Both were served incredibly hot, which was great, except we had to be a bit patient before diving in. I had the Panang Curry, which was fresh, had a medium heat to it, and included a great serving of chicken and veggies. I wish it was a bit thicker, but that's mostly a personal preference. We will definitely keep this spot on our list for future takeout opportunities!

Miyabi is a decent local sushi spot in Excelsior…read more It's a good place if you're craving sushi nearby, and they have a pretty big menu with a mix of rolls and other Asian dishes, so there's something for everyone. The space is nice and comfortable, with both indoor seating and a patio option, which is great in the warmer months. That said, the sushi itself is good but not anything super standout or memorable. It gets the job done, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way for. There is plenty of parking in the big shared lot. The staff is very kind and attentive.

The latest visit was this past weekend for a later lunch after ValleyFair. Both of my boys were very excited when I told them we were getting pho for lunch instead of theme park food. I'm sure we will be making more stops here for lunch this summer since our family has season passes to ValleyFair. The service was fast and the staff were friendly & attentive. We were happy to get our food pretty quickly since we were all very hungry when we arrived. The pho broth was delicious! My kids shared the meatballs pho while I had the pho with tripe & tendons. We also got an order of the spring rolls - it was good overall, a little bit on the dry side.

It was 20 below today so a lot of us opted for the warm bowl of pho. The pho broth here is a little bit on the sweet side but also my fault for not tasting first before adding hoisin.

The shaken beef (Bo luc lac) has a strong vinegar smell, good flavor, and comes with just a few thick slices of tomato.
