    Ambiance and food wonderful.

    My favorite Thai restaurant !!! You can have a meal alone or with friends and family. The flavors capture your senses and leave your soul content. Stop by and try them. I am certain you will become a regular just like myself.

    Overall from my initial experience, Exotic Thai is a middle of the road kind of Thai restaurant. The food had its and misses & at this point there are so many competitors serving fabulous Thai food in the 805 I am not sure this spot would be high on my list to revisit. My review is on the shorter side as I only ordered take out from this establishment. Wasn't able to assess for vibes, decor, or staff. I will give credit that my order was packaged correctly and sealed nice and firmly to make this a good spot to order out from. It's hard to travel with soup but it was tightly sealed and made it from point A to B. The reason for three stars is my experience was about right in the middle. For the price it didn't fully live up to my hopes for the flavors and such but there were some good bites. 4 stars is their pad see ew. I ordered the chicken protein for mine (mainly because beef & shrimp were a hefty up charge). The noodles were really good and the sauce had good flavor. The chicken was cooked well and I appreciate there was a good amount of egg in this dish as some places skimp. Overall a good pad see ew dish. 2 stars was the Tom kha noodle soup. Sadly, this was one of the blandest Tom kha's I've ever had. There was really no flavor or nice kick....it was a really disappointing dish actually as I haven't had one this lackluster in a while. On top of the soup already being kind of flavorless the noodles were a little too underdone for my taste and the shrimps were smaller than other Thai spots. Pretty meh dish and I definitely wouldn't get this again. While the pad see ew was good there are a handful of other spots serving really good pad see ew and then some....can't give above a 3 when only half of my order was tasty. Hopefully this is a good Thai spot of the locals but I'll likely pass the next time I'm craving some Thai.

    I got my order to go. I thought it was cooked in a timely manner. The guy at the register was very kind. I liked the taro boba smoothie. Very tasty. My food was a bit bland. Kind of unfortunate. If one eats there, the decor looked interesting. And I think they have a small patio as well. Seemed healthy but lacked much flavor for me. I got things without fish sauce. And I think that might add a lot of taste. Oh well. It was an experience.

    My husband and I took grandma out for a lunch date & we stumbled across this spot! We were all craving Thai food! We got the lunch specials & the pad see ew! Happy to report that it was delicious. The service was superb & the interior was clean. I did not go to the bathroom, so I cannot comment on that. Forgot to take a picture of the cashew chicken dish, but grandma loved it. All meals were hot & savory. Will definitely be coming back!

    Why aren't there spoons instead of forks?

    They have soup spoons offered for soup, and big serving style spoons for entree dishes. Forks and chop-sticks are offered for ones personal meal.

The broth is rich and flavorful--you can tell it's been simmering for hours. Their menu is extensive, and the bahn-mi the best I've had. The French baguette is always fresh and crispy, whether it's baked in-house or sourced from a great local bakery. The barbecue pork is also well-marinated and packed with flavor. Sometimes I'll dine in for pho and other times I'll just grab a sandwich and spring rolls. Either way, it never disappoints. Easily the best pho spot in Ventura County by far. I prefer to eat the pho there in person, but the sandwiches and hot plates deliver well. You can order on postmates.

The pho broth is good and tasty but they put less meat in their bowls than other pho places. Spring rolls were lacking a lot of the typical herbs and flavorless. Service was poor. Spring rolls usually include mint and garlic chives. The ones here only came with lettuce and were thus super bland. We also ordered this right when we sat down yet they never came. I had to ask twice about the spring rolls. The rolls came at the very END of the meal after we were super full from eating pho, I was tempted to send them back but my partner still wanted them. It was disappointing though. When we were ready to pay, they said go up front to pay. Whereas earlier they were bringing the bill to the tables. We went up front. There was a long line of people all waiting to pay. I felt disappointed again. I don't know if I'll be back. I'm going to give the other pho places a try before I decide. If I do come back, it's pho only and not expect much from service.

    Five stars all the way!…read more Ordered a special order of oxtail soup with egg noodles sub and added tendon. No bowl sizes needed, just one generous portion. The broth was flavorful and inviting, clear with proper seasoning and spice (not heat). There were 3 large oxtail with generous meat. The order of tendon was generous as well and super tender and delicious. The green iced tea was floral and a nice accompaniment to the meal. The spring rolls were well made and I enjoyed the well made sauce. The employees were friendly and attentive. The tables are well kept and clean. A great environment for groups or couples who are looking for an authentic pho. Also got a Bahn mi to go so to be determined... Will be back soon!

    Visited this Pho place for the first time recently and was favorably impressed with most things…read more Firstly it's an authentic Pho restaurant-- I say this because many Asian restaurants in this location lack authenticity but Viet kitchen Saigon seems to have hit the spot. Service is prompted with water as well as an explanation of some of the items on the menu, which is great if you're new to the menu items. I ordered the spring rolls and the pho special which were promptly served with very clean plates and bowls. Moreover, the utensils are also ultra clean with the chop sticks which are sealed in a paper packet. I found the food very easy on the eye and tasty, with extra veggies added if you need it, such as mint etc. Seating arrangements is also very good with a nice mix of seats and table sets. Overall I think Viet Kitchen Saigon seems very comfortable and clean and the food is very good. The restaurant is very conveniently located just off the freeway with ample parking in a large strip mall with a gas station nearby so it's a perfect (safe) place to rest up if you're commuting or on a day trip. Prices are also very reasonable so I'm sure you'll be happy with the value for money.

The burger has been a solid option as well as it really fits the diner-burger mold well. Couple the good food with friendly service, Country Harvest is a reliable option in the Newbury Park neighborhood.
