    Food was really good. Definitely coming back. The service was excellent, San is very attentive and takes care of you well. The ambience is calm and friendly. Felt very homey/comfy walking in. Recommend for date night

    First time to try hotpot express. Didn't know what to expect. I came with 2 of my daughters and granddaughter. She like the shrimp and the Bok Choy. We got the 3 different broth. I wasn't too impressed with it. We had the spicy and beef broth and and regular. We got the beef, bok choy, cabbage,fish ball, vermicelli, noodle,dumplings. It was okay nothing special. You get the veggies,noodles and meat selection from a refrigerated vending machine. It kind of costly. It came out to more than a $100.

    While driving around the Sacramento area in the evening looking for a late-night dinner spot, I happened upon Hotpot Express. Hotpot Express provides an innovative take on the traditional hotpot experience in which diners can select their broths (up to 3 different broths can be chosen) and then select their hot pot contents from a self-serve refrigerator. Diners are charged by the plate with each colored plate representing a different price point. They provide a medium-sized selection of noodles, vegetables, meats, fish cakes, and dumplings for patrons to enjoy. The owner was very friendly in explaining the restaurant's concept and providing us with recommendations, which we appreciated given it was our first time at this spot. We went with the miso and authentic boat noodle broth. Both broths were very flavorful and I'm definitely glad we were able to sample both! From the fridge we went with a selection of noodles (egg and udon noodles), napa cabbage, seafood mushrooms, fish balls, and tofu. The hot pot ingredients tasted fresh and of high-quality. If you're looking for a new hot pot place to try with a unique dining experience to go along with delicious food, then I definitely recommend giving Hot Pot Express a try!

    I love coming here. The owners are super sweet. Tonight, they gave us gifts! I loooooove the papaya salad. Their hotpot is sooooo good too!

    Tucked away with a quiet, calming atmosphere and traditional Thai decor, this restaurant lives up…read moreto its name -- which means "lantern" -- with a soft, welcoming glow throughout the space. The food here is consistently excellent. Nothing tastes frozen or reheated; the vegetables are fresh and crisp, the steak is cooked to perfection, and the pad see ew is easily the best I've had anywhere. The fried rice is perfectly seasoned, and honestly, everything on the menu is -- each dish complements the next so well that every bite feels intentional. From appetizer to dessert, everything is delicious. Prices are reasonable, especially given the current economy -- a real point in their favor. A small corkage fee is charged if you bring your own wine, which is a fair trade-off. Service is excellent: attentive without ever feeling intrusive, always there when you need something. Part of me wanted to keep this place to myself, but a spot this good deserves the support. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful spot with genuinely great Thai food.

    I really wanted to like this place. The service is always kind. The food is generally quite fresh…read moreand generous portions. The first half dozen times I came, was during 2020 and 2021 and they did not allow anyone inside beyond a tiny 3'x3' space at the far door. Take out only. I recall my review mentioned service time quoted wrong and inconsistent spice level. Well, those two were problematic tonight. I didn't ask and wasn't told how long food would be. Shortly after placing my order a group of young people walked in like they owned the place and sat at a long table that had dishes added to it as they were coming in. My food took 30+ minutes. The Tom kha seafood... I think the seafood may have been frozen and re-thawed a couple of times as it had a strange combination of textures within a piece of meat and pieces were very chewy. The spiciness, asked for medium but not too hot, like mild-medium. My liquidy yellow curry chicken was barely mild. The soup, was just sweet. Tbe rice was abundant but soggy/clumpy. The inside is absolutely lovely. I took tons of pictures for my first visit inside. I was told most was imported from Thailand. I believe it. I'm just not able to get myself to find the food good enough for me. Sad.

    Having becoming more of a regular here I love the owner here! She always has a smile on her face…read morewhen she is out and taking care of customers at the tables. On Sundays, she's in the kitchen cooking and turning out amazing dishes as well! Last Sunday I brought vegetarian family over for lunch and we ordered my goto safe and tasty silver noodles. It is made of mung bean which gives this clear noodle look and quite chewy. The flavor is a good balance of sweet and savory but not spicy at all unless you tell them to. Wife had their spring rolls and kids had drunken noodles no spicy. They are very accommodating with all sorts of requests like no eggs no onion no garlic etc and wanting soft tofu rather than fried tofu. I saw how many new specials they have plastered on the window and inside entrance, I knew I had to bring my parents over this Sunday! We came in today and order the crying tiger. We do wish it to be rarer for more soft texture but the flavor was great. My parents liked the ocean in love with the lobster tail, shrimp, and scallops over spiced veggies. The BBQ pork ribs was another safe choice of mild and savory Sweet flavor while the meat was tender. I didn't try the tom yum shrimp fried rice but my parents liked it as it has coconut flavor and it was literally a mountain of fried rice! Spicy though and I had to refrain while letting my GI heal from recent injury. Upon placing the orders, the owner quickly came out to see if it was really us! That's how we found out she cooks in the kitchen as well when she is needed in there. Always a pleasure and loving the innovation of new dishes. We also love their curry puffs! Come eat local and experience it yourself! I personally like sitting by the windows with the bright ambiance during summer time

My friends and I went on a Friday around 7pm and the shop was not too busy. We ordered the Fried Tofu to share and then I got the Pad Se Ew and my friend got the Pad Thai. Our food came out within 10 minutes! Fried Tofu (5/5): This was very tasty! Wasn't sure what to expect with just fried tofu, but it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and I liked how it was coated in sauce. Pad Se Ew (5/5): Delicious! I ordered it at 3/4 spice, and it was perfect spice level. It had plenty of heat and flavor, and I didn't need to add any extra chili or seasoning. Humongous portion size! Friend did mention that it would have been nice if their Pad Thai came with a lime slice but she enjoyed her meal. Overall, great food and customer service and excellent bang for buck. I'll definitely come back the next time I'm craving Thai food in Folsom!

Our waiterS were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable in their menu options. One of them was super friendly -- maybe even a bit cheeky! -- and he made us feel at home. Second, the ambiance was dinner date night worthy so long as you don't mind a few TVs. They didn't bother us nor was the volume obnoxiously loud. The bar area is fun and modern-looking. Third, ohmygoodness! The food was sooo delicious! The Cantonese-style Seabass paired quite lovely with Shrimp Fried Rice and Combination Veggies!!! The seabass was topped with sliced ginger and onions. It was super tasty!It reminded me of home cooked meals growing up. The shrimp in the fried rice was tender and lighted dusty with some type of flour that made it perfectly crisp. And the combination veggies was perfectly cooked and served in a light sauce! Thing is, I'm not a huge fan of "Asian Fusion" but this place seemed to hit all the boxes for us. Go give Folsom Palace a try! p.s. Each dish was beautifully presented and smelled amazing as they walked up... that I totally forgot to take pictures (lol).

The noodles were flavorful and well-seasoned, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were fresh. Everything tasted great together. However, for $20, I expected a little more. There were only 4 shrimp in the box, which feels like too little for the price. If they had included at least 6-8 shrimp, it would have been much better. The food is delicious, but the value for the money could definitely be improved.

Their interior design and artwork is probably the best I've seen in Roseville. Bountiful crayons and coloring for kids - convenient for parents! Every item we ordered was absolutely muy fantastico! Love that you can specify spice levels 1-4 for many of their food selections. Personally, I feel level 2 spice is our sweet spot (we tried 3 and it was a bit too much). My take? 1 Mild spicy, 2 Moderate spicy, 3 Very spicy, 4 Killer hot spicy. Our mix this visit - MTK money bags, pad thai with shrimp (no spice), pineapple fried rice with shrimp (no spice), panang curry with chicken (spice level 3 - bit much for us), thai iced tea (1 dine in free refill! Not for takeout though), sticky rice, and beef salad (least favorite, not worth the price tag IMO). Excellent Thai food and absolutely worth a visit for foodie lovers locally!
