    Very disappointing experience. The chicken wings were clearly undercooked

    Very disappointing experience. The chicken wings were clearly undercooked--still pink inside. When I brought it to the staff's attention, I was told it was "medium rare," which is unacceptable. Chicken must be fully cooked for safety and is not something you can serve underdone like steak. This is especially concerning because my children could have eaten this, putting them at risk for foodborne illness like salmonella. Food safety should never be compromised. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves its standards.

    16.Green Curry with beef
    Tammy W.

    Tried their green curry and pad thai for takeout today and it was pretty underwhelming. The rice container is very small, and the green curry came with way too much bamboo--plus the beef didn't really have any flavor. The curry itself tasted flat with no depth. They told me that this one scope. Pad Thai was on the drier side (which I don't mind), and the chicken portion was decent, but the overall seasoning was weak. It's the kind of meal you finish and immediately forget what it tasted like. I visited when they first opened and it was much better back then, so this was disappointing. The shop was almost empty when I went in, and honestly, I probably wouldn't come back unless things improve. This dinner cost $35 , the price is pretty good

    53. Yellow Curry
    Angela N.

    Inside was clean and their customer service was great but sadly I didn't enjoy the food. The Groovy Fried Rice came with hot dogs and cold chicken nuggets (tasted frozen). I didn't care for their Pad Thai. It lacked flavor and was pretty dry. We also asked for a side of white rice and I could tell it was old. The only dishes that were okay were the Yellow Curry and Mango Sticky Rice.

    Hot Oolong Tea (Unsweetened)

    The service was quick and everyone was friendly. The ambiance was quiet even while they played good music. We order the green curry and it came along with white rice. In addition, we ordered the combination fried rice and garlic pork ribs. All the food was very flavorful, delicious and the tea compliments it very well. Loved how they serve the tea. Did not take pictures of the food because I was hungry and started eating right away. Then I realized I should have taken a picture of the food.

    Spicy chicken basil. Looked more like cooked larb

    Was in the area and was wanting Thai Food. This came up and seemed decent reviews. I'll always judge a Thai place based on the papaya salad. Got a med which was more no spice at all. Ordered spicy noodles and chicken basil. Wasn't impressed with all. Let alone asked for lime or lemon for our waters and they said they had none... uh how did you make your papaya salad? It was also completely dead in there. Some may say it's good but I've actually had home made Thai and Lao food so I wasn't even impressed with this. And when your bowl of rice is a joke

    4. Spicy Basil Lunch Special
    Danielle P.

    Met a friend here for lunch today. It's tucked away in this little shopping center and the parking lot was actually surprisingly busy. It was just my friend and I inside for most of our meal. The server was sweet and attentive. She answered some of our questions about the menu and promptly served our Thai Iced Teas, which were served in cute little mason jar mugs, and was delicious! Their lunch specials are a good bargain. For $13.95 you get an entree, rice (unless it's pad Thai), a salad, and an egg roll. Decent sized portions. My friend got the yellow curry lunch with chicken and said it was good but she probably wouldn't get it again. I tried the spicy basil with chicken and it was good as well. The place is cute and they have a good amount of seating inside. There are other places I'd probably hit up first in the future, but it's a nice place to have nearby if you have a craving for Thai.

    First time here, the taste is so good especially hot wings and sticky rice. My daughter really loves it. They also have mango sweet sticky rice. Definitely come back!

    I was in the area looking for Thai food for my sister who is pregnant and wanted Thai food so I check the place out . First time here and the service was nice place was clean decor was simple. But I was disappointed in the noodles I bought because the flavor was lacking for me . I had better and it wasn't even spicy at all just giving my honest opinion that's all

    Nathan V.

    Came here after a convention at the Toyota Arena. Wanted to get Thai but something not close to all the commotion. This place had good reviews so we checked it out. It was alright. Walking in we could tell we were the first customers of the day, because the restaurant was hot so I imagine they hadn't turned on their AC until we as customers showed up. Which is understandable. Once it cooled down we were able to relax a little bit make. The place is nice well kept and clean so that adds to the comfort. Few more people did show up after us, but for the most part we took our time since we weren't in a rush so most of them left before we did. We've gone to so many Thai food places all around California and other states. So we have a grasp as to what to expect when it comes to the food. As to why I can't really remember in detail what stood out. Goes to show that the food was alright and prices were your typical prices so no surprise there. Service was good and attentive. So no complaints there. Basically the experience and especially the food was alright. Not bad, just satisfying for the moment.

    Spicy basil chicken/beef & papaya salad

    Been here like 5 times in the last month excellent food and service the owners are awesome ! I found my new thai spot

    13. Beef Salad, 22. Pad Thai, 23. Pad See Ew 38. South Sea Fried Rice
    June K.

    Surprisingly GOOD! Total came out to $68 (not cheap), but worth it. The only suggestions I would like to make are to make the beef salad is too salty and too little greens and be generous with the proteins. I will order foods from here again.

    Are you groovy?
    Janeth L.

    Place is hidden between Waba and royal nails. Glad we stopped by! The food was great and so was the service. Lunch specials are a decent portion! P.S. Chicken Satay is a must

    Jason L.

    Walk in on a late afternoon and super cute spot with just another party finishing up. Greeted by a very nice and welcoming lady. Ordered Thai coffee, Pad Kee Mao, and Pad Thai Pad Kee Mao, I messed up... I asked them if they do Thai spice range to which owner happily said yes, then instead of saying I'll take little spice I saw the low spice range as 'mild' on the menu and said that. When it came out with just white pepper I knew I fcked up lol... Maybe I should use a number scale to be more clear lol. They do ground chicken which is authentic, but it was a little rubbery which was slightly strange. Smaller portion, taste was decent, came lukewarm. Pad Thai was as expected, giant portion too. Came piping hot, perfect to slightly steam the raw bean sprouts. Thai coffee was bomb.com Hidden table near the back for the take your kid to work setup. Clean, cute, super nice and welcoming. Food decent. Would come back to support.

She said, "Yes." Honestly, what the hell kind of service is this? So before my other friends arrive, I'm not even qualified to sit down? This is supposed to be a service business, yet they can't even provide the most basic level of service or respect. We turned around and left immediately. I came here to spend money, not to beg for a seat. If you can't give customers even the most basic respect, maybe it's no surprise your restaurant is completely empty.

Sizzling plates used to be THE big thing in the early and mid 2000s with lots of boba places having them as as specialty (RIP Coffee Break and MJ's Tea House), but now aside from a handful of businesses and Pepper Lunch, they're much more rare. Glad that the IE has Sizzlin' Place as one of their sizzling plate heavy hitters. Aside from the sizzling plates, they have other menu items including fried appetizers, soup and dried noodles, and sides like fries and takoyaki, but if you're going to a sizzling plate place, you gotta get a sizzling plate, you know? That's decorum. Service is welcoming and friendly, and efficient in the safest way possible with the scorching hot plates. Seating can get limited due to the nature of the meal, but I've never had an issues the times I chose to eat here. Ambiance can be relaxed and chill when the Haven City Market isn't busy, but during weekends or rush hour, it can get a bit hectic and there may be a bit of a wait. A staple that you can never go wrong with is the hot plate beef and if you're a carnivore or if you're sharing, you have to upsize and upgrade it. The slices of beef here are just slightly thicker than what I'm used to at Pepper Lunch, but that just means it'll shrink less and get less stuck on the hot plate as well. You get a hearty serving of rice with some corn on top, pepper, and green onions. Like other sizzling plate places, you can always get pasta or udon instead of rice, if you're feeling a bit more adventurous. Super hot, filling meal that's easy to eat. Not the most flavorful sometimes, at least with what I order, and in comparison to other competitors, but hits the spot when need be.
