Khao soi with soft-shell crab: 5/5 my favorite dish here. You need to order family-style though since it's pretty salty. 2 whole crabs and they're not small. Pad Thai: 4/5 The chicken is pretty dry, but everything else is great. Maybe try a different protein when you order Pineapple fried rice: 5/5 No notes. Not something we order every time, but it's good. Roti combo: 3/5 nothing special about fried chicken wings and it's just 2-3 roti cut into quarters with curry sauce. They also wouldn't let us buy another chicken wing so the 4 of us could each get one. Mango sticky rice: 5/5 when they have it, you MUST order it. The service is pretty quick due to the insanely high demand. The Latino cooks in the back are VIBING and it's good to know they're allowed to have fun back there too. This restaurant is one of our consistent go-to places when introducing friends from out of town. read more

Delicious food with a hipster vibe inside the restaurant. They have a virtual waiting list on Yelp you can add your name to gauge your wait time before 6pm. Yes you can order the typical thai food like pad thai, pad see ew, and Tom yum soup however i mostly ordered from the tradition menu. Things i would order again beef tongue yakatori, crying tiger (grilled beef), khao soi beef fried rice. read more

This vibrant Thai restaurant near Tustin was such a great find! We ordered the Leng Zapp, steamed branzino, roti combo, chicken satay, fried chicken, and Thai tea slushie. It was definitely a lot of food for two people, and we happily had leftovers. We went around 4:30 PM and luckily didn't have to wait too long, but by the time we left around 6 PM, there were a lot of people waiting outside. The servers were very nice and accommodating, and I loved the colorful interior design. My favorites were the roti combo and the fried chicken, which was crunchy, flavorful, and really well done. The Leng Zapp and steamed branzino were also delicious, especially if you enjoy sour soups. Overall, great food, fun atmosphere, and definitely a place I'd come back to! read more

The restaurant is vibrant and decorated with festive colors. I ordered the Tom Kha ($21.95) with seafood option (+$8), Pad Kra Prow Eggplant with ground beef ($22.95) and comes with a small side of rice, Thai Iced Geen Tea ($6), and Mango Sticky Rice ($13.95). The food is tasty; a good place to come enjoy with family/friends and share everything family style. There were plenty of menu items I wanted to order, but it would be too much for one sitting. This just means I have to revisit again! I took off a star bc the ground beef in the eggplant dish was so chewy, it was getting stuck in-between my teeth. I spent ten minutes in my car trying to get it out (good thing I had floss). The fish in my seafood tom kha soup was very dry, like fish jerky. I ended up just taking it out. Overall, the food was still good and very much enjoyable. I'd come again and give other menu items a try. read more

We ordered the papaya salad, green curry, crying tiger, pad see ew, cashew chicken, and mango sticky rice. Everything was delicious, especially the green curry. The only minor downside was that the chicken in some of the dishes was a bit tough and not as juicy as I would have liked. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back to try more of their dishes. It's a popular spot so be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy times. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food came out surprisingly quickly. I also loved the interior decoration and the ambiance is great for gatherings. read more

I stopped by this place on my way back to San Diego while I was taking a road trip. There was plenty of parking since we got there a little after peak lunch hour. The restaurant itself is tiny and packed with ppl so we opted into sitting at the bar so we can get seated faster. The decoration was very cute, felt like I was in Asia again. It def gave the aesthetic of a Thai restaurant. For food I order the famous curry noodles - forgot the official name but it was delicious! However, really spicy so beware if you cannot eat that much hot stuff. They also had matcha Thai tea and it had lots of flavor surprisingly. You can't taste the hint of matcha with the sugariness of the Thai tea drink with milk. The crispy pork belly was crispy and didn't taste like it has been sitting for a while like other restaurants. I would recommend but I told think I would come back due to the long wait. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here tonight after seeing so many tik tok videos on This place! The restaurant is small but has plenty of seating .. but they are busy so there will be a wait. Service is quick. Placed our order and the food came out really quick. We had the chicken satay, roti combo that came with Thai chicken wings and roti with a bowl of curry to dip with, some pad se ew chicken, Thai style papaya salad, khao soy with sausage, and ka na moo krab(crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli) Everything was delicious!

Definitely recommend joining the yelp waitlist since they get really busy. The food is good; I wish I could order everything off of the menu. Their best items are the mango sticky rice and the roti curry. I will say, since they are so busy, they will check in every so often, so you really have to be able to order asap and ask for anything you need upfront. Also, it is very pretty in there. read more

Ive had a lot of Thai food in my life and Chiang Rai is one of the best I've ever had... My mom in law brought me here for the first time last week and it was so good I was back a couple hours later for just a side of the roti and curry cause I couldn't stop thinking about it!! The fried rice is great and so is everything honestly, We've ordered so much from here and there's never any complaints! I've never craved the same place so much, The curry is sooo good !! If you her it you HAVE to get a side of roti and if you're not getting curry you have to get the roti and curry as an appetizer! The whole place is decorated like you're in Thailand, And with the food tasting so authentic, Lunch feels like a little mini vacation ! The service is great and the waitresses are always sweet and helpful even though they get BUSY ! I hate that I'm writing this and not having it for dinner cause now my tummy is rumbling D; Love you Chiang Rai !! See you soon ! read more

I had visited the Long Beach location some time ago and was excited to see a new location in Tustin. We arrived just before lunch time/opening and there were already a few parties waiting. We were seated as soon as the restaurant opened. The space is colorful and lively. Once seated, the server came by to take our order rather quickly and we were still reviewing the menu so asked for a few more minutes. With the instream of to go customers and seating, we did not get approached again for our order for another 20 min. The tables on both sides of us received their orders before we even placed ours. That being said, the food was delicious, albeit on the pricier side. We ordered: Khao Soi with Shrimp, Fried Rice and Papaya Salad (this was spicy!) Overall, we enjoyed our lunch, but now know to go in knowing your order so you can put it in as soon as seated. read more

10/10 Pad Thai (Beef) - Deliciously flavorful and the beef was incredibly tender. I always ask for extra peanuts because it adds such a satisfying crunch to every bite! 10/10 Khao Soi Noodle Soup (Sliced Rib Eye Beef) - This dish was so satisfying. It has a thick, heavy base that's very similar to a soup curry, and the quality of the ribeye was top tier. It was super tender and delicious! 8/10 Egg Rolls - These were just okay. Heads up that they are veggie egg rolls. I didn't actually order them, and I wouldn't get them again next time. 10/10 Thai Ice Tea -This was perfectly sweetened and had a great taste. I would definitely order it again! Mango Sticky Rice - I am not a huge fan of this dessert in general so I will hold off on a personal rating. However, my friend thought it was delicious and finished the whole thing in one sitting! Cost - Pad Thai (Beef) $22.00, Khao Soi Noodle Soup (Sliced Rib Eye Beef) $22.00, Egg Rolls $11.00, Thai Ice Tea $6.00, Mango Sticky Rice $13.00. read more

If you like Thai food, you will start to notice different regions and flavors from those areas depending on which restaurant you visit. While there exists another popular Thai restaurant around the corner, we decided to visit this establishment for that very reason. Food was delicious! There are a few opportunities to improve here and there but let's highlight the goods! Pad See Ew was chard well and had a good depth of flavor. Noodle had a good bounce with every bite. Table loved it so much that we ordered a second plate. Unique thing is that the second dish was a bit more sauce forward. Consistency was a bit at question and debate at the table, but still good nonetheless. Roti... is amazing here. This is something you just need to get with extra roti to finish out the sauce. So delicious!!! Host service is well and accommodate our request for a baby seat. There are a few times we had to flag people down but nothing to highlight as they were busy tending to various tables collectively as it seems. Inside is small to midsize in terms of tables. Best to call in early and check on availability. Otherwise, you will have a decent wait time during peak hours of lunch and dinner. Parking isn't bad here. You can park at the inside lot and walk around the building. This will help digest the food/feast on the way back to your vehicle. Perhaps grab tea from a nearby shop (Omomo) while you wait? Overall, great place for delicious food. :) read more

The food here is good but honestly service could be a little bit better. I understand the confusion because we had the same name as the group waiting next to us but I wish they checked our phone number as a part of the confirmation process. We waited for our turn at #1 on the waitlist for 2 hours and they kept giving our table away and apologizing for the misunderstanding. That being said, I still love the little store and the neon signs they have hanging remind me of the street food scenes when I travelled to asia. The vibe of the place is really chill yet at the same vibrant and bustling like how it would be if you were at a street food stall. The crying tiger is hands down my favorite pick of the night and the yellow curry with roti is unforgettable. The meat was perfectly cooked and paired wonderfully with the sauce which was tangy and cut through the fattiness of the meat beautifully. Perfectly savory and sweet, curry balences out with crispy roti and I also topped it on my rice as well. The waitresses were sweet and consistently check in on us too. The quality has not changed and is still easily one of my top picks for when I'm craving Thai food. read more

Chiang Rai specializes in Northern Thai cuisine. They have a large menu to choose from and great decor. My group settled on some items to share. Pad Thai (chicken) - $19 - This dish consisted of rice noodles tossed with egg, tamarind and fish sauce, bean sprouts, peanuts and chicken. Chicken was tender and overall I fell this dish was good but I felt I have tried better in Bangkok. Som Tum Thai - $17 - This was made of shredded green papaya, lime juice, fish sauce, tomatoes, peanuts and shrimp. It was refreshing and crunchy and had great flavor. Khao soi (chicken) - $19 - Made with a rich coconut curry broth, egg noodles, and topped with crispy noodles, this had a lot of depth of flavor. This is one of their more popular dishes and I can see why. Goong Kan - $23 - This consisted of shrimp with shell on sauteed in a curry sauce. I'd probably pass on this, there was nothing unique about this dish. Mango Sticky Rice - $14 - The mango was so sweet and delicious here! The sweet and sticky riced paired with it and was the perfect way to end the meal here. Thai iced tea - $6 - Solid Thai tea option here, though it is on the sweeter side. Overall I enjoyed the khao soi and mango sticky rice. I definitely need to visit again to try some of their other specialties. read more

There are two locations - Tustin and Long Beach and this place has a lot of parking so don't fret. Came in a on Friday night around 6:00 to wait around 30 minutes for a party of 4. They do close the waitlist around 8 even though they close at 9. We ordered the following: 1. Fried enoki mushrooms - Yes - delicious but it was kinda oily 2. Fried pork belly - exactly what you think it would taste like but it was delish - I needed to order a plain fried rice for this 3. Pad thai - it was okay 4. Crying tiger - I liked this a lot 5. Crab fried rice - generous amount of crab and the green sauce was really good 6. Khao Sri with chicken - flavorfulllllll Just be prepared to wait, get yourself on that yelp waitlist and enjoy some good food. We got a little greedy. read more

We came on a Sunday right when it opened and we were seated right away. Food was very flavorful. I love their papaya salad & pad seew. Green curry can be a little thicker, but overall really good. Steamed mussels wa a little tough, but the lime sauce makes up for the flavor. You have to come when it opens because it gets really busy. read more

If you like spicy food, you can't go wrong with any dish here. If you don't like/can't eat spicy food, there are still many dishes that are so tasty even without heat. This place is almost always packed. Try going at odd hours during the week or weekend. Parking is tight and awkward but people tend to leave here and there if you're patient. All the servers are so sweet and will help you pick out the right dish. We've been here so many times and still haven't tried everything on the menu!! read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area! This place gets busy, so I recommend arriving early or joining the Yelp waitlist before you head over. Everything I've tried has been delicious and the food is consistently on point. I always order the roti combo and tom yum soup. If you're ordering takeout, I'd add an extra 30 minutes to the estimated pickup time. Every time I've ordered, the food has taken longer than the quoted wait time. Service is quick and always felt rushed. Overall, great food, okay service, and worth the wait! read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in OC and well deserved of their Michelin credentials (although it's priced in). It can be on the expensive side for Thai food, but I thought the quality of the food and large portions alleviated the cost. The food was superb and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients and the bold flavors. Parking is easy to find, but can be a bit of a walk because of the structure of the strip mall. Food/Drink- 5 stars Som Tum Kai Tod- everything about this dish was divine. The chicken was juicy and perfectly fried. The salad had so much flavor. And the sticky rice was perfectly cooked, and stayed warm throughout our menu due to their presentation. Highly recommend it, but expect to get your hands dirty Aom Nure- the soup was a great way to round out the whole meal. Pad Mama- this was really good, and I'm glad I tried it over the more mainstream noodle dishes. Perfect wok hei and plenty of flavor Service- 5 stars Food came out pretty quickly and servers were pretty attentive. It can be a bit crowded on the seating though because of how small the restaurant is Bottom Line Excellent food and you can see the Michelin recognition. Do expect higher prices, but the portions and quality are there read more

Found this gem when trying to book a reservation for 8 people. Other Thai restaurants did not take reservations so this was a great start. When we got there they were so busy, but that also meant food was good. Ordered a lot of dishes and honestly love them all. Very authentic Thai taste. Food came out fast, did not have to wait a long time. Inside was just too loud because of many people, but other than that everything was great. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Quaint restaurant with delicious Thai food. The Khao Soi Noodle Soup was flavorful from the broth and crispy soft shell crab. The soup was more of a curry consistency - viscous and creamy. The Poo Kari was tasty from the egg sauce over the soft shell crab with rice. It's a small restaurant so space is tight, but the interior decor makes it look like you're eating on the Thai streets. Service could be better because the bar surface was dirty and there wasn't a designated server so I had to flag one down to order and get the bill. read more

Visited Chiang Rai around 1 PM on a Thursday. Loved the interior, it felt very warm and traditional. I ordered the papaya salad, my friend got the sliced ribeye khao soi noodle soup, and we both got a Thai tea. Loved the presentation of the food that came out. Papaya salad was delish and not too spicy. I also enjoyed the khao soi and the hint of coconut. Thai teas were good but not the best, not as creamy, and I expect a little more from a Thai restaurant. Servers were really nice. However I did not appreciate the way we were rushed to leave. While eating, they had let us know they would be closing the kitchen soon, and we saw groups being turned away that just walked in. That's when we found out they close at 2:30 PM. We weren't even close to finishing up our meal when they came over to take payment with their mobile card reader. We quickly scarfed down our food and took the rest to go as to be considerate that they were already starting to clean tables. Didn't feel like we were able to enjoy our experience fully. Would go back again because it was tasty, I will just be more mindful to come well before 1 PM or after they reopen. read more

As another reviewer mentioned, we really wanted to LOVE this place too. Felt like we were transported back to Thailand upon entering the restaurant. Impressive decor with friendly servers. Khao Soi bowl presentation looked great but the broth was really sweet for some reason, over-powering the other flavors. We asked for med-rare Crying Tiger steak but ours was well-done, and the dipping sauce was super sweet too. Not sure of that's the flavor profile they were going for here but it was really busy so we might try again later Notable Mention: Thai Green Tea was delicious read more

Delicious food and friendly servers! They open at 12 but try to get there a little before that because it fills up fast! We got seated after 45 minutes even though we put our name on the waitlist right at 12 through yelp. Highly recommend their khao soi fried rice and fried pork belly! The midnight chicken was also delicious but the roti was a little dry. The green thai tea was delicious as well and not too sweet. If it's your birthday they also give you free coconut ice cream which was very nice! read more

Wowza! Everyone talks about Manaoo but Chiang Rai may be my new favorite Thai place!! Everything we ordered was spectacular and we can't wait to come back! We got: Jor pu (crab dumpling)- so much crab and perfectly crispy. The homemade sweet and sour was amazing. Gang pla (Fish curry)- lychee in curry with sea bass!? Who knew.. my far one of our favorite dishes. Pad Kara Prow (with chicken) - so much flavor and with the chicken it felt lighter and so so good Midnight chicken with roti- perfectly fried and the inside deliciously tender. Khan Soi Noodle Soup- definitely a must try! It is one of my favorite dishes and then using the additional broth/curry over rice is perfection. Som tum Thai (papaya salad)- loved their salad- could've been a bit more spicy but they brought all the spice condiments over so that problem was quickly fixed. Thai Bua Loy (sesame balls) - perfect way to end the evening (even with an overly full belly) with the perfectly chewy-sesame filled balls with coconut milk. We've done take out but the inside ambiance feels that of a street restaurant and just gives all the best vibes. All the waiters and waitresses seem to help each other out--which is nice as you never feel neglected. Will absolutely be back. read more

HOWEVER, i requested it medium rare and received well done so i did not like the texture :/ thai milk tea wasn't incredible but i liked that it wasn't overly sweet my server was lovely though! the interior design is very pretty! read more

I recently came here with my sister. She kept on hearing her friend talking about Chiang Rai so wanted try it out. Food was very good but it's more on the pricey side for Thai foods. We had the crying tiger (grilled usda rib eye), som tum kor moo (papaya salad with grilled pork neck and sticky rice) and the beef curry with bamboo shoots. They were not only delicious but beautifully decorated. The meat was so tender on the crying tiger. My sister loved it and thought that was the best Thai food for her compared to all the ones she's had lately. :) read more

I wanted something new to chew. I was in the mood for Asian food. I culled though my bookmark list and opted to try one and happy that a Thai won. I picked a spot that looked like it was hot. And in the end Chiang Rai was worth a deep dive. It seems that there is a Thai place in every set back Mall in OC and there is a set back Mall on every block. Note: Best to go early as by 6:30 PM it's the sign up sheet and the parking lot until you are called. The down side with early is a squadron of kiddies in Onesie's squealing and screeching. At $30 per hour to have some high school drop out riffle through your undie drawer, I get it, bring the kids. The Decor: Actually, it is inviting. Some one took the time to design the space. Colorful cubbies display artistic elements and doo dads all through the dining rooms without looking cluttered. For a fast casual concept the interior decorations are conducive to a pleasant experience and the cost to dine there is reasonable into the bargain. The Thai community has given Chiang Rai its blessings and support. Most of the diners were from the Mother Country and then there were those who have never been to Thailand (although I have several times) but enjoy good Thai food which is hard to find. The choice was here or toss the limp Celery in the trash and head for Vons. Here is much better. The Sitter can deal with limp Celery. The Staff: Little Butterflies flitting around the dining room efficiently. My server, Potae, was very pleasant and helpful. The Food: The guy who invented scrambled Eggs must have designed the menu. It is a hodge podge of dishes cross referenced, arrows pointing to lists, and an extensive list of options. I studied it for 20 minutes until confusion caused a brain contusion. I absorbed lengthy descriptions and then flipped the menu over to select a protein (Chicken, Pork, Shrimp, Beef, and Salmon) and by the time I worked that all out I forgot what I wanted to order in the first place. Potae made her third visit to my table so I just asked for Chang Rai Larb. "Do you like Pork Blood?" asked Potae. "Doesn't everybody? I keep a bottle of it in the glove box at all times". "Try the Issan Larb", suggested Potae. "Whatever you say Potae works for me". What arrived was a stack of fresh crisp Romaine Leaves ready to scoop up spicy Ground Pork, instead of using a fork. The dish included fresh Mint, Red Onion slices, Cilantro, Lime Juice and Roasted Rice Powder. My Larb choices from Yuk to Yum quickly. This Larb had a slight barb of heat and was delicious. I managed to push a heap onto a Lettuce Leaf although half went on my Onesie. The leafy "taco" was perfectly balanced and immediately addictive. Pad Thai with Chicken came as a Doi Inthanon (Thailand's highest Mountain) of Glass Noodles, and tender Chicken Chunks with a ladle full of Pureed Carrot Curry Sauce on top. The Sauce was a surprise but tasty and satisfying nonetheless. The Noodles were still hot from the stove, the Chicken still juicy and the Sauce an unexpected compliment. This dish also had a warm Chile kick on the end. Check the Chile Chart on the menu somewhere for your preference. Despite the fact that Pad Thai is a bit pedestrian, this version added Chopped Egg, Fresh Bean Sprouts, Chives, Red Onions, and Crushed Cashews and made it a standout. This is definitely worth a second order next time. The Soft Shell Crab was winking at me from the auspicious menu. All it said was "Bold and Saucy without the Broth". Okay, I'm in. Two huge Soft Shell Crabs the size of my Skecher Slip Ons topped a hill of sauceless Fried Wonton Strips, Fried Garlic bits, Chopped Scallions, Lime Juice and Diced Dill Pickles. The Crab Legs were crispy. The Crab body was a Duxiana pillow of meat, veins and guts. No worries, I believed I had a window between ingestion and detonation. Not so much as a hiccup for me so I'm ahead on points. The Soft Schell Crabs were terrific. Whatever you take home and you take home a hefty bag full you'll enjoy with scrambled Eggs in the morning. Chiang Rai certainly requires a try. Time to Thai one on. read more

This little gem in Tustin (my 3 top Thai local spots are in Tustin hmmm). Is worth the wait, although I would advise coming for lunch and waiting until they opened for first seating. We had the beef tongue skewers and the lime dressing dip was good enough to sip! The pad see ew was flavorful and large portions so enough leftovers for a pm snack. The coconut based soup (have the pic but the name escapes me) was so good and there are only two kinds so get it based on the main base broth! No liquor license yet so keep that in mind if you were wanting a little cocktail or Thai beer. Go to Manaao for that in the meantime. read more

Full authentic flavors!! A friend was telling me about a Michelin star Thai restaurant in Tustin and it's been on my radar for almost a year now. I finally decided to stop procrastinating and was able to come and try this place out. The area is a little sketch, but parking is free and we were able to be seated right away. We ordered four of the skewers to start to octopus two shrimp. We weren't crazy about him. The octopus lacked flavor and the shrimp did too, but they are served with the sauce sauces that made up for it, but I wouldn't order it again for the price it was five dollars for each skewer so one shrimp for five dollars is a little crazy to me. Everything else that we ordered was delicious, but the standout dish for us was their Koi Soi with softshell crab. We also ordered their crab fried rice and fried Bronzino and shrimp Pad See Eww. I would absolutely come back for the soup again and the crab fried rice. The price also for all the food we got was very reasonable. I believe we paid around $170 and had so much food to take home for leftovers. read more

I have been eager to try this establishment every time we pass by. It is quite bustling, which is interesting because there were no Thai restaurants in this area previously, and now there are three within a mile of each other. The decor is charming and evokes the feeling of Thailand. I found the food to be satisfactory; I had anticipated a bit more given the numerous positive reviews. The service was commendable. You will certainly need to arrive early to secure a table, as it is a small establishment with a capacity of only 62 to 65 people. Parking for the restaurant can also be a bit challenging. Overall, it is a pleasant place to experience. I had hoped the food would be a bit spicier when I requested spicy options for my fried rice and chili sauce for the fried fish. However, it was still enjoyable, though not quite at my preferred level of spiciness, as I typically enjoy very spicy food. Nevertheless, it remains a good option for lunch or dinner. read more

WOW!! I've tried many thai spots in OC and this restaurant stood out the most!! 1. I appreciate their fast and friendly service, they care a lot to make sure you're not waiting too long for a table and that everything is to ur liking! 2. Ambiance is crowded and lively, their dining area may seem to be overcrowded a bit with tables but the decoration creates the atmosphere! 3. My boyfriend and I ordered the Dry Khao Soi, a Mongolian Beef stir fry, a basil pork stir fry, thai iced tea, fried banana ice cream, mango sticky rice. I would definitely recommend the Dry Khao Soi, the flavors were so in depth with a sweet creamy coconut taste. Everything tied so well together!! The Mongolian stir fry and basil pork stir fry were also cooked perfectly and seasoned well but it was nothing to rave about! Since trying a few dishes it seems like you can't go wrong with any item on the menu! I would skip out on the fried banana with ice cream wasn't worth it price wise, BUT THE MANGO STICKY RICE was the best I've had. A subtle saltiness to the sweet sticky rice, and mangoes paired well together! read more

I was excited to try this new Thai place. We made a drive here just in time for their dinner service. I liked the big menu with good varieties. We had orange matcha and San Pellegrino as beverages and they don't serve alcohol at the moment. For food we had 4 pieces Thai skewers, papaya salad with shrimps, crab pot, steamed branzino and wagyu noodle soup. Yeah we ordered a bunch of items to try for party of two! To be honest the food was not up to my expectations. First the steamed fish hot pot had no fire so the soup wasn't hot at all. And the soup was too sour for my liking. The crab pot was not a pot it was actually a crab bowl. Just little crab meat and rice with fixings and very dry. Papaya salad as yummy but it came with two shrimps! Skewers were not bad but a bit dry. The wagyu noodle soup was the best but came out very slowly. The food was mediocre at best with very little proteins. My biggest issue was the limited one and half hour dining time. If we had 4 ppl of course it was enough time to finish the food. But we were two ppl that ordered five items! And it took more than 20 minutes for the fish and noodle soup to arrive. The waitress brought us the check at one hour mark and didn't ask if we wanted desserts before that! There was barely any service already and this just made the early dinner experience even more unpleasant! Overall it was a very rushed meal and not enough services from beginning to the end. Don't think we will ever eat here again! read more

The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, with each dish well-balanced and nicely seasoned. Every bite felt intentional, and you could tell care went into the cooking. The textures and flavors overall were satisfying without being overwhelming. The only dish that didn't quite land for me was the beef tongue--the slices were cut a bit too thick, which made the texture feel heavy, and the richness of the flavor became a bit overpowering. A thinner cut might have made it more enjoyable and balanced. Aside from that, everything else was delicious, and paired with the great ambiance and reasonable wait time for a weeknight, it made for a really enjoyable dining experience read more

I was really craving some khao soi, and a friend recommended they have the best one here, so of course we went! Huge tip: even on a weekday, they'll have a wait so add yourself to get Yelp waitlist ahead of time! We went with a group of four, and waited about 30 minutes on a Thursday night. We were all super hungry and ordered with our eyes and got the khao soi, tom yum noodles, enoki fried mushrooms, fried pork belly app, and fried rice. I also got a coconut, and y'all it was so cool getting to drink out of the coconut! The khao soi was a little sweet for my preference, so I wasn't a huge fan, but the tom yum noodles were absolutely delicious! I devoured it.
