    Basil with onions, carrots and tofu
    Natalie F.

    A little treasure of a Thai spot near the Grove/Farmers Market. Prices are reasonable and there are lunch and dinner specials in addition to their regular menu. Lunch specials come with rice and a small side salad. Dinner specials come with a choice of appetizer and soup or salad. Food is fresh, portions are fair and service is great. Has a small, shared parking lot.

    It's in a small plaza walkable from the Grove. Hard to find parking in the plaza but there are curb spots in residential area nearby. Good service and food with good prices! Thai tea questionable though

    Tom Kha Soup. Excellent, rice included (I think)
    Daniel B.

    One of the better Tom Ka soups I've had from a Thai restaurant. I even believe the rice comes with the soup, but don't quote me on this.... Maybe I wasn't billed for the rice. The portion size can easily feed two. The broth is well-spiced; so many flavors going on. Ordered medium spice and that's what I received: Chicken , nicely cut, and juicy. Everything was great -/ woukd be back again!

    My job had this catered and I'm so glad! I have to come in person bc the beef pad see ew was delicious and the noodles were velvety. I was also able to get the yellow curry with beef. The potatoes were nice and big and the flavor was great.

    Today was a great day for Thai food! Enjoyed a flavorful meal at @Joom restaurant highly recommended! Good lunch special, truly budget friendly. Enjoyed the eggplant with basil and vegetables. DELICIOUS! Team Smiley

    Tom Kha Soup
    Prisma ..

    walked in and was immediately greeted by Audrey! she gave us our choice of seating as it wasn't too busy. i gravitated towards their dinner special - it's 16.99 for an appetizer, soup or salad and a choice of entree (selection varies but they had a good amount to choose from). while this is a good deal with variety, keep in mind portions are significantly smaller / less than, this is great for individual meals and only for dine in! the Tom Kha is sweet but savory, coconut flourishes in the dish and it came out at the perfect temperature. the chicken Pad Thai noodles have a lil bounce to em and they pair great with their thai tea! i had a pleasant dinner experience here thanks to Audrey and their quality of food and ingredients!

    Crispy Spring Roll ( 4 Rolls )
    Aneisha H.

    Just ordered this for takeout/delivery dinner due to the DoorDash ratings and featured spot to try! Definitely a fast delivery and food seems fresh and very tasty. They also packaged it very well especially the hot ginger tea (not pictured) I'm only disappointed in the salad dressing which I got peanut dressing and it's way too think and not the dressing I was anticipating from prior dressing experiences. However everything else is so good and great shareable portions. It's so much that some of this will definitely be a super midnight snack and or leftovers lol Also other complaint is the temperature of the fried vegetable spring rolls but they make up in their taste I am not sure what the ambiance and service is like but they did forget my note of utensils and napkins and reading is fundamental for sure because I didn't know they cashews were in the pineapple fried rice, good thing I'm not allergic but wish they had more options to select what you didn't want in a dish Overall definitely would order again and eventually explore what the dine-in experience is like

    dinner special Pad Thai

    the service was exceptional and quick, the server was very kind and attentive. the dinner special is very worth it as you get a lot of food and a lot of options for only 16.99.

    Combination Fried Rice

    I have only ordered from them through uber, The quality of their foods is pretty good. They are quick with preparing them and they packaged my order perfectly. The pad woon sen was my favorite. It has a very unique smoky taste. Their wanton are perfect. Not too oily, not too dry. Just perfectttt. The pad thai was a bit too dry and it made everything too sticky.

    Thai tea

    Great Thai spot! Loved the pad see ew. Also got the Thai tea. Heard it was Thai style because it had condense milk added as well. Service and atmosphere was amazing!

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

    This place is by far my favorite Thai restaurant and that's why it's so disheartening to write this…read morereview. I have written at least 2 glowing reviews of the restaurant in the past and wish this could be one of them, but it's not. Over the last 4-5 days I have tried no less than 2 dozen times to call the restaurant during proper business hours to order food for pick-up as I often do. The phone rang and rang to no avail. I live too far from the restaurant to just pop up and place an order so I rely on calling ahead. I have been a customer of this restaurant for at least the last 9 years and have almost never had the aforementioned experience. Though I do recall not being able to get a call through several times on one or two occasions in the relatively distant past. Today I was finally able to get a call through and began placing my order which includes shrimp. I ALWAYS request the tail (with shells) to be removed from the shrimp as I find it quite difficult to enjoy my meal if I'm constantly having to pick off shells with my hands. It's unsanitary and messy. Removing the tails from 15-20 shrimp prior to adding to an entree or soup should take no more than 60 seconds and that's if one is moving at a glacial pace. However, today I was told that the kitchen was too busy to honor my request. I assured the lady taking my order than I was a loyal customer and make this request will every order I place and it is always honored. She repeated her claim that the kitchen was too busy and refused to do it. I cancelled my order and ended the call. Now I usually order food from the restaurant 4-5 times a month and usually spend about $65 each time not including tip. That is approximately $325 per month of my hard earned money that I give to this restaurant in exchange for great food and service. I am appalled and quite upset that having been a loyal customer for almost a decade and spending as much money there as I do per month that they could at least honor my patronage by simply taking an additional 60 seconds in the kitchen to make my meal more enjoyable. Her refusal to do such a minuscule task has deeply soured my experience with Hoy-Ka not to mention the fact that I could not reach the restaurant for almost a week by phone for no apparent reason. I will not be going back to this restaurant until they rectify this situation.

However, as we were wrapping our dinner, all the tables were filled and we felt a bit of a push to hurry up to pay and leave. The waiter didn't say anything to push us to leave, but when you see them giving you the bill before you could finish your food or ask for it, you feel a bit pressured to eat faster. The three of us opted for family style and ordered four entrees and a side of white rice to share. We ordered the stir fried crispy catfish, the sautéed morning glory, the shrimp salad, and the pad kee mao with chicken. The total came out to be about $33.28 per person including tax and 20% tip. I think that's very reasonably priced. We also did not have to wait long at all for our food, which we were so pleasantly surprised.

The noodles were cooked well. -Roasted Duck Over Rice: Good, but nothing mind-blowing.
