The chicken satay was tender and flavorful, while the eggplant salad brought a nice mix of fresh, savory flavors. The chive appetizer cakes were another favorite and a great appetizer to share with the table. I also liked having several smaller dishes to try rather than sticking to just one thing. It's a great option if you're dining with family or friends and everyone wants to sample a little bit of everything. Rex Tip: If you're visiting on a Saturday, just an FYI, the farmers market runs right in front of the restaurant. Expect some nearby street closures, bigger crowds, and a little extra time getting around or finding parking. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

The food was packed with flavor and definitely on the spicier side, but everything we tried was delicious and satisfying. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and had a great balance of spices. The only downside is that some dishes can feel a little pricey for the portion size, but the taste and overall quality make up for it. Definitely a great spot if you enjoy bold, spicy Thai flavors! Overall: Great taste, and lots of flavor--just be prepared for some heat!

I've ordered the pad see ew and I don't know if they have different cooks depending on time of day, but the first time I ordered it is was way overcooked and the noodles were mushy and not edible. I said something to the waitress, but she just blew it off as she that how it's made. The second time I ordered it the noodles were cooked to perfection no mushy inedible noodles and the flavor was amazing. I ordered there veggie curry with a side of sticky rice and it was so delicious I wish I ordered one to go. The inside is nice they have a great bar that can concoct some excellent drinks. They also have outdoor seating which I always prefer when dining here. Definitely check them out. When it comes to Thai food they definitely aren't my first pick, but the vibe can be good.

I asked for medium spice, which was pretty spicy and had a kick to it. I would probably get mild spice next time to let the rest of the flavors shine through. The pad Thai had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Usually pad thai is too sweet for me, but I enjoyed this dish a lot. Service was a little slow since there was only one worker handling to-go orders and the rest of the tables, but the food made up for it. The interior is cozy with bar seating and booths. The dim lighting and jazz music added a relaxing and intimate touch too. So glad we found this place!!

Not a welcoming setting from the owner, as she states. We had to dine outside because we had a dog…read more(which is fine) but she insisted that in Sacramento people who dine outside have to carry out our own plates to the table AND bring the plates/cups/utensils back in. That it is customary in Sacramento. Ok then, what about to those that are elders or disabled who can't bring the plates? I was lucky I had few of my fam to help but there's no warmth to this owner. No one even checked on us at all! We would have left but we had to pay upfront before we found out we had to be the waitress. Food wasn't even worth it (papaya was bland, pad Thai was average). Update: owner replied to this post. Everything that she stated wasn't true at all. I asked why we have to bring all the stuff in and she insisted that it's customary in Sacramento-- she did NOT asked us at all or did we asked, the owner said it immediately when we got seated that we HAD to bring it in. Yes I was upset AFTER we were told to bring the plates and everything in; we just came back from a vacation so we were in a good mood). Please don't make it seem that you were innocent as you also keep mentioning that is how things are in Sacramento and asked where I was even from. Also, we would've been more understanding if we didn't give us an attitude from the start and told us to get our own plate and bring it back in. A word of advice: please hire more staff since that would give some politeness to ALL customers. If you were so busy, how would you even have the time to explain why you wanted us to do waitress work. Please, you straight up and said we have to pick up our our plate of foods WITHOUT any of the understaff part. Again, owner keep trying to make a costumer experience in the wrong since honest review will hurt her business. Never in my Yelp reviews owner is so against a bad review --this just verifies how the owner is very defensive and keeps justifying without taking accountability of what actually happened (like how we even know she was working alone since we're outside). Also, please don't make any assumptions, they're not my husband or daughter (we never mentioned this and how inaccurate the owner perspective is). Further customers, please be aware when you leave bad reviews, expect the owner to persist that you're in the wrong (like she did with other previous bad reviews).

I had this restaurant booked under my Yelp favorites in Sacramento and decided to visit again after…read moretwo years. Unfortunately, the quality of food has deteriorated since I last visited. I'm not sure if management or chef has changed but their food is not what I remembered from years ago. We initially ordered their tofu pad thai and gai yang and immediately noticed how pricey their menu was. They have a wall of specials and I remember being shocked that their orange chicken was $24. I didn't mind paying more than what I was used to for my pad thai because I remembered their food was delicious but I was shocked when my pad thai came out. It was literally drowned in sauce and looked like it was a bowl of noodle soup. I was still optimistic hoping that it tasted better than it looked but it just tasted like sweet rice noodle soup. I was hesitant to bring it up to the waitress after two bites but so glad I did because I would have hated myself if I left without saying anything. The waitress was kind and offered to remake the dish. Instead, I opted for something else because I was afraid to be disappointed again. I ordered their tofu drunken noodles since I've gotten it here before and remember it being tasty. I confirmed that the drunken noodle was going to be a dry noodle dish and thankfully it was. It was good but not the best I've ever had. My boyfriend had their gai yang which is a marinated grilled chicken dish. He said it was pretty dry without the sauce on the side but the sweet chili sauce provided was pretty tasty. It's probably not worth $26 given the how dry the chicken was and he said he would never order it again. Overall, the customer service was great and portions were good. I had to deduct 3 stars from my previous review as the food quality has significantly gone down in my experience and doesn't justify the high menu prices in my opinion.

The small tofu cubes in the dish were hard and flavorless. Ntot a dish-ruining offense, but I must say that I didn't know tofu got that hard. Same thing for the pad see-ew. It was quite dry and had a distinctly burnt flavor the first time it came out, it tasted like ash in my mouth. The chicken was rather burnt. The staff was friendly and kindly replaced it for me, but the burnt flavor remained. I think the pan they're using must have been burnt. I didn't think the yellow curry was notable. The thai tea is good. The restaurant itself is friendly and cozy. Water is from the tap.

Thai Canteen has been around for all long as I can remember, before all the new, modern Thai spots…read morestarted popping up all over Midtown. There's a reason this original spot stuck around for so long.. consistent, delicious, and open late night! #25 Bamee Bphet Yang 5/5* Duck Egg Noodle Soup is why I come here! Thai Canteen is the ONLY Thai spot that makes this duck noodle soup. Noodles are so plump and springy like the texture of freshly made ramen noodles. The broth is intense in flavor, amped up by the honey roasted duck and has this slightly salty, sweet umami taste. If it weren't for the "No MSG" red letters stamped on the menu board, I would've thought this soup had some MSG. The flavor is THAT delicious where you can't really pinpoint where it's coming from. #24 Gkuay Dtlow Reur (Boat Noodles) 3/5* The thin pho Noodles were fresh and cooked perfectly al dente, but the soup itself was lacking that beefy richness. The broth was watered down and bland. #26 Pad Thai Noodles with Tofu 5/5* Good portion size that is shareable for two. The soft tofu is plump and soaked up the pad thai sauce well. There's just enough sauce without the dish being overly saucy. The flavor is richer and less sticky sweet than other Thai places, making this more savory with a just slight hint of tamarind sweetness. Happy Hour Eggs Over Rice 1/5* This popped up on the Happy Hour menu one time and it is exactly what the name says. Just an egg omlette over a mound of white rice. The egg was overcooked, dry, and lacked any flavor. Even at HH prices, this is a hard pass. The location and hours are so convenient smack in the middle of downtown. You order at the counter, choose any seat, and the food comes out fast. Water is self service. This makes for a good lunch spot if you're short on time but want a good cooked meal. They have both after work HH and late night HH. There's a small bar inside as well and patio seating on the side.

Time for soup!…read more My server was very pleasant, kind, and patient in explaining the soup offerings since there were none on the menu. I opted for the sweet and sour Tom Son version. The broth was a delightful and tangy sweet and sour broth filled with mushrooms and other vegetables and shrimp, squid, and scallops. I added some rice which balanced out the sourness if the soup perfectly! The squid was a bit chewy but the shrimp and scallops were good. The cherry tomatoes - red and gold - retained their yummy flavors and added to the fullness of the broth. Overall, a very delicious bowl! My only complaint - wish the music had been a bit lower. My server checked on me frequently and was attentive to me and all of her customers. A nice place to come to warm up and feel welcomed.

Ordered the Lao sausage and sticky rice…read more Flavors and food portion for the Lao sausage was decent but the quality here is not worth it. I was disappointed that their Lao sausage was a ratio of 50/50 meat and onions. Onions were more of a filler and that was too much onions in their Lao sausage for my personal preference or to even add chopped onions. Every bite had diced onions in it and texture was crumbly. Onions did help with keeping the sausage juicy and see why they added it in. The sticky rice I cannot speak for, did not taste like sticky rice, seems like they were cutting corners and added mochiko into their sticky rice. I will not get sticky rice here, especially if you're dipping the sticky rice into the dips.
