Old pad thai, microwaved

The worst thai I have ever tasted!!!! The food taste old the cilantro was old, and the looks like they microwaved it before giving it to us.

45. Choo Chee BBQ Chicken
Bob W.

Stopped in for lunch the other day and was seated by a very friendly server. Ordered the Choo Chee BBQ Chicken. It came out really fast and was piping hot and very tasty. The Jasmin rice was also very good and was perfectly cooked. Enjoyed the iced tea as well. Everything about my lunch was enjoyable. The only negative would be my entree had a couple of ingredients missing based on the menu description. Disappointing but the food was delicious nonetheless. The cook should pay closer attention. I will be back to try other specialties they on their menu.

It's in the Target center. It doesn't look like much but.... Oh, boy.... The food is seriously good. And our server could kit have had bigger smile and as super helpful. It's a strip mall Thai place but don't judge Finest Thai only by its ordinary roots. The BBQ chicken was tender, juicy, and superb. The Larb was just as it should be with the right size lettuce cups to actually eat. Every bite was a flavor bomb and it was about $15 each including tip. A bargain. You can pay a lot more, but why. This is a good place with great food and staff. Go and enjoy.

We were going to go to L&L Hawaiian food but ended up coming to Finest Thai which is right next door we looked at the lunch specials & we are so glad we chose this place we came here last week & again today last week we had the Pad Thai with the meat combo of chicken, pork, & beef with peanut salad, wonton, & egg roll with sauce comes with soup which is so good & refreshing the other lunch special was spicy noodles with combo seafood today I had the spicy noodles with the meat combo and my husband had the same Pad Thai with the same meat combo & the side of Dragon Rangoon with sauce food very delicious & flavorful with just the right amount of spicy heat the service was very good & fast both meals were extremely excellent thank you for the 2 great meals we have experienced at your restaurant

I think they are better than Pho ca do. We'll we've gone twice now and get so wrapped up in eating…read morethat I forget to review lol. Pros: * Delicious pho; we like the rare steak * Great apps; the spring roll is fresh and the fried roll is crunchy * Friendly staff * Clean restaurant Cons: * N/A Extra: * Lots of parking * Single unisex bathroom

We were in Santee running errands and visited Streets on a Saturday night. When we arrived it was…read morefairly busy, tables full, but no customers waiting yet. We were seated along the wall which had booth seating, which I prefer. For drinks I ordered a Thai tea no boba and the hubs a coke. We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7
