    Crispy Pad Thai
    Nu Nandar A.

    Came here with friends after snowboarding at Boreal Mountain Resort and it was exactly what we needed. The portions were generous and everything tasted delicious. I ordered the Vegan Pad Thai and it was especially good. One unique item here is the Crispy Pad Thai, which I had never heard of or tried before. I'll definitely order it again next time I'm in the area. The service was friendly, and the inside had a very chill, relaxed vibe. Definitely a great spot to stop by after a day on the slopes.

    Thai Fried Rice with chicken
    Victor V.

    My daughter and I were looking for some Thai food downtown yesterday and we came across this cute little spot on J street.The place is very cozy and the staff were very welcoming. We decided to order family style and got 3 entrees-Drunken Noodle with Chicken-Thai Fried Rice with Chicken and Se Ew with Beef. All 3 dishes were excellent with just a plethora of traditional flavors from each dish,but my true favorite was the Drunken Noodles.The noodles were perfectly textured fully taking on the flavors from the spicy garlic sauce and basil-the veggies in the dish were cooked great and definitely something I will order again on a return visit.

    8/3/25 While in Sac for convention party of 10 we came to Drunken Noodle after some yelp research woohoo. They were very accommodating for a large party. Not a very big restaurant. We were able to call ahead and let them know a large party was coming . They were ready for us . Service was exellent . Food was great. We ordered a little bit of everything as seen in pics. Our server Cookie was his name I believe what receipt said ,was awesome. Really took care of us. The food was authentic and had really great flavor. We all really enjoyed . Definitely would go back . If I'm the midtown sac try them out . Enjoy !!!!

    Every time I am in Sacramento I have to stop at drunken noodles. It has been one of my favorite spots for a couple years. I have shared many meals with my friends and now they get to also enjoy the food with their family . The food is always delicious. Their service is wonderful and we can never go wrong with the dollar sake shots.

    The Pad Thai here is a 10/10 seriously one of the best I've had in a while! Perfect flavor, great texture, and generous portions. My husband got the papaya salad, which leaned a bit sweet. We ordered it mild, but I think it could've used more spice. Luckily, they have chili sauce on the side so you can adjust it to your liking. Overall, still tasty. I'd give it a 7/10. The red curry was really good too and came with purple rice, which was a nice touch. Another solid 7/10. Service was fantastic! Our server was super friendly and seemed to recognize the regulars, which is always a good sign. I also loved that you can choose your spice level for every dish such a thoughtful detail. Only downside: the smell when you first walk in. It's kind of a mix between strong cleaning supplies (like Clorox) and a damp dirty towel. Honestly, that's what kept me from dining in sooner. But the food and service absolutely make up for it, and I'm glad I finally gave it a chance

    This was good Thai food! I asked for my tofu to be cooked crispy and they did a good job, and there was an abundance of cashews in my order so I loved that. Our server didn't ask what level of spice we wanted, and I forgot to specify so there was NO spice, and that was disappointing. Also, none of the tables had any condiments and we had to flag the server down to request it. There was nothing special about the interior of the restaurant, but they did have some artwork on the wall that appeared to be for sale...love it when restaurants support local (I assume) artists! I don't eat meat so I didn't try my friend's Thai fried rice with beef, but she said it was good once she added some chili sauce.

    fried calamari $10.95
    Marichris P.

    Service was friendly and quick. We got sat 40 min before closing so we were in and out. Brought us waters right away which is appreciated. Only ordered fried calamari to share. They don't have rings and legs here it's more large diced pieces that are breaded and fried. The sweet and sour sauce was good, not too sweet. I appreciated that the calamari was not too salty and that they were cooked perfectly, just lightly fried so there's a crispy element yo every bite. Ambiance is very casual here, bathrooms are towards the kitchen on the left:

    You can literally get dropped off by the bus to this restaurant! Bus stop is right out front. Delicious food accompanied by friendly local business service. We enjoyed the calamari, chicken pad Thai and.... Medium spicy was a bit spicy for me. Thanks!

    Noren R.

    Got the drunken noodles and it was every bit of delicious as others said. The spring rolls were also very fresh. My favorite part was that they gave a great amount of peanut sauce. Normally the sauce is never enough but they got the portions right. The portions are very generous. A definite plus! The service was very friendly and sweet. I would be back to try some of the other dishes.

    Eggplant stir fry with brown jasmine rice
    Indiana W.

    I LOVE this place. I brought brand new acquaintances here because I knew we would get nourishing meals with bright, flavorful produce. A couple years back I came here as one of my first meals out after a bad injury. I trust this place and will be back again and again. I love the eggplant stir fry with tofu!

    Always our Thai Foodie GO TO comfort spot when it comes to wanting Thai food, especially getting Thai Tea after a good meal and walk out the door with happy tummies. We usually order Pad Thai noodles here from time to time, but the drunken noodles is flavorful to try, too. Of course we would get our appetizers to fill up our bellies before the main dish haha. Service here is always really good (to us whenever we come) and they make sure to check up on you if you need anything

    Ground Chicken Basil W/ Fried Egg, Fried Egg Roll
    Ann H.

    I ordered delivery from Door Dash. The egg rolls were not soggy and quite crispy when I received my order. There was not much flavor to the egg rolls. I've had better at other similar locations. What I really enjoyed was the ground chicken with basil. I requested medium spice, which was as expected. I really liked the crispy edges on the fried egg. I will return as I would like to try their noodle dishes.

    This place was delicious and very friendly service! I loved the portions, prices, and flavors!!read more

    So nice to find a vegan restaurant not too far from home…read more I loved the easy menu style. Basically: do you want a small plate or a big plate? Soup? Dessert? Simple. Best part is all the food is delicious. We started with 2 bowls of mung bean w/ mixed vegetable soup. It was a true creamy soup, so I put my spoon down and drank it out of the bowl. Sorry manners? Then ordered 2 large plates of short grain brown rice, kidney beans w/ onion & garlic, baked yam, kabocha & butternut squash w/ garlic, collard greens and kale w/ shiitake mushroom sauce, and a mixed salad w/ basil lemon & agave dressing. Everything was very good. My favorites were the kidney beans, the yam combo, and the greens with the basil lemon dressing. We also got a Bahn Mi. Loved that it was really full. I don't like a skimpy Bahn Mi. For dessert, we took home slices of Coconut Pie, Chocolate Pie, Key Lime Pie, and the Himalaya Pie (layered with key lime, strawberries, coconut, and drizzled chocolate). My favorite was the Key Lime Pie -- tart and creamy. Then the Chocolate Pie, which was soft and indulgent. The Himalaya Pie was fun because every bite tasted a little different. The only one I didn't care for was the Coconut Pie because the texture was a bit hard from the coconut fat. One of the best things about this place is that they change things up based on what's seasonal. We travel with our dogs and called ahead to ask about outdoor seating. They don't officially have patio seating, but they kindly pulled a table outside for the two of us. They accommodate well-behaved dogs, and there was a great overhang for shade. We felt very comfortable sitting out there, so don't be shy about asking if you're traveling with your pooches. I briefly saw the inside and it was neat and well organized. I also saw someone bring their own container, which I loved. Definitely a spot we'll return to.

There was a point where I ate here 1-2 times a week after first trying it. I highly recommend their quesobirria burrito, laylahs burrito, street tacos, and chickn enchiladas with green sauce.

(It always is when they're closed I'm craving their food the most) Oh also, It says on their website that they're open until 9 but they're actually only open until 8pm

How the fuck was I able to place an order? I wasted time and money veering off the freeway to get here and all I got was a refund. No sorry, nothing. This place is a waste of time. The Monterey location is cool but the service her sucks. We've eaten here on two other occasions and the service has always been trash. Food is decent, if overpriced for the ghetto area this is located in. They also have a weird schedule where they close early Friday and are not open on Saturdays. I assume it's an SDA thing, but since I'm almost never in Sac on days other than Fri/Sat, it's a missed opportunity.

Those of you that know me already know that I am a big time meat eater. But I am always open to soy protein and impossible meat options. This takes me to the Arden neighborhood of Sacramento where I had the opportunity to try out "RAW Superfood Cafe". Located in the Howe Bout Arden shopping center, this place has been opened since early-2024 while replacing the once popular "CREAM" which was a surprise since they did not last long in this busy outdoor strip mall. Prior to coming here, I've already heard of RAW Superfood Cafe as they have 3 locations in the Bay Area; San Jose, Milpitas, and San Jose; and 2 locations in the Sacramento area; Elk Grove and this one that I am reviewing. I ended up coming here during the afternoon on Friday 6/5/2026 at around 5:15pm. The inside area is very bright, cheerful, and lively with a few tables with leather booth-seating, bamboo wood paneling, and fake grass with the business name aligned to it. Additionally, there is a large digital kiosk where you can place your order and pay using a card or smartphone. The specialty here are their blended and layered bowls which offer a huge assortment of customizable creations. This is where you can choose a base (for example, açaí, mango, dragonfruit, etc.) while picking various toppings (nuts, fruits, coconut chips, etc.) and finishing it off with a drizzle of vanilla, chocolate, or anything you might be craving. However, they also offer a vast amount of smoothies, protein shakes, wellness drinks, blended and iced coffee beverages, and even a respectable amount of food. When I say food, this just isn't a couple items; this is more a few dozen food items to choose from. Everything from various sandwiches, burgers, breakfast toasts, bagels, salads, and soups. Since I was craving an actual meal/drink, I went with their "Bánh Mì Sandwich" (priced at $13.95). This sandwich consisted of house Asian sauce, caramelized onions, pickled daikon, carrots, cilantro, mayo, jalapeño, and cucumber. I paired this a refreshingly cold-pressed Calamansi juice (priced at $5.50). I ordered this exclusively on the kiosk and paid for it digitally via-Apple Pay. Within 5-7 minutes, my drink and food was ready for pickup. I am quite picky about my Bánh Mì Sandwiches but for them to substitute this with vegan meat was an absolute win-win for me. The 'meat' was well-seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor while the bread was soft and made to perfection. Even my drink hit the spot on a seasonably warm 94°F day. I thoroughly enjoyed this while dining inside a very clean, sterile, and bright interior while the employees were absolutely friendly and accommodating. With that said and done, I am giving the Arden "RAW Superfood Cafe" a perfect and unanimous five-star rating.

The food was pretty good. I really enjoy how fresh their spring rolls appetizers are. I recommend the one with shredded taro, sweet potato, and tofu! The Bun Bo Hue style dish was like a 4/5 just because the soup was very toned down compared to Bun Bo Hue broths that I'm used to (which are prepared with meat, but are also just much more spicy and flavorful with a strong lemongrass kick). This broth flavor was very muted flavor-wise. It's probably healthier than the meat-version since it's very light and not fatty and heavy like the broth I am used to, so that's a plus. I really like the selection of tofu and soy proteins (a ham and beef vegetarian alternative) included. The soup also has delicious mushrooms. However, what brings my rating down is the ambience. The first time I came here to dine-in back in winter was fine. But for whatever reason, I had such a strange experience this second time around and had to share it so that hopefully no one else has to experience this. The music is the same song on endless loop, which can feel a bit odd. But what was odder was the fact that the restaurant seemed to be a one woman show. The server was taking care of my table (my boyfriend and I were the ONLY people dining in the restaurant), fulfilling the online orders and checking those people out upon arrival, and dealing with the unhoused individuals who were constantly coming by the restaurant for free water... in addition to watching her dog? The service was basically non-existent because the dog kept running out of the restaurant and the server was constantly running after it. I usually base good service on how frequently our water cups are refilled. During the whole hour we were there, both my partner and I had finished our water cups (I finished my water within the first 20 minutes of arrival) and not once were they refilled. It was impossible to even ask for a refill. It took us a solid 10 minutes after finishing our food to get a to-go container and a check. It was hard for the server to be attentive when so much was going on, but it was just not good service-wise. It was honestly such a strange experience, and I will not be coming back to dine-in.
