I'm so happy we stopped by today. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The inside is very well maintained and tidy. They have a good menu as they serve different/variety of Asain dishes from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. We ordered Thai: green papaya salad, Cambodian: beef/ chicken sticks, Vietnamese: Pho, Vietnamese: Bun luc Lac, Vietnamese: beef Banh mi, 6 egg rolls, and two Thai: teas with boba. The dishes are homemade with love. They taste like and feel like you we're invited to someone's home to eat grandma and mom's home cooking/ recipes. Definitely a great spot for some good eats!

Excellent service and warm reception. Small place but clean and comfortable…read more Ordered Pad Thai but did not taste as anticipated. On the bland side lacking the usual bit of sweetness, sour, salty and peanuty all together. Nam Kao Tod Laosian dish not bad but a bit too spicy. Cambodian marinated Beef Sticks flavorful but meat not very tender and on the dry side. Fried banana was good. Had to rerun fried shrimp for being too spicy (good flavor though). Sticky rice and mango was good but overall it was a mix feed back of different tastes. May have to come back again and give it another try and enjoy more.

The service was terribly slow but the servers were friendly. We had to wait a while to be seated but we noticed there were a handful of tables that just needed to be cleared We ordered the veggie egg rolls, veggie spring roll, and all got pho. Their spring roll was a bit pricy for it being veggie and it was the length of my iPhone. Their veggie egg rolls were pretty good but we were bummed they were out of the regular ones. I got the steak pho and the meat was dry and tough to eat. Their food was decent. I wasn't expecting much for a spot in Palm Springs.

The tables well spaced out and even counter seats if you want a quick bite. Ordered one of the best sellers, Nam Khao Tod which was impressively full of flavor with crispy coconut rice, sausage, ginger, onion and scallions, holding off on the peanuts due to food allergies which they graciously accommodated. Served with plenty of lettuce. Our second dish was the Hot Basil with chicken. Very aromatic with fresh basil, onion, peppers and tender chicken, served with steamed rice. Can't wait to go back and try something new along with one of their desserts, which, unfortunately, we didn't have any room for during this visit.

It was delicious. The wait staff was friendly. She said spice levels were 1-5.

My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

I wanted to try it again because you know....results may vary. So I went back two days later to eat there again. I was expecting the same mediocre service we received on Friday, but no! We got Ricky! Not only did Ricky have grace and style, but embodied what I want from a server....a long lost friend that I am reconnecting with.

Thank you Ricky!

Nok's Kitchen was the dinner pick and I knew it was going to be a big dinner since I was really…read morehungry! We got to the store close to around 7:00 pm. The store has a parking lot and was nearly packed when I went. After heading inside, we added ourselves to the waitlist and waited ~ 8 minutes for them to clear some tables. The table space felt a bit small for two people. Or maybe it's because we had a large order haha. The table was also pretty close to another group though. Their menu was pretty descriptive and had pictures, which helped us decide what to get. Combo 4 - BBQ Mix & Sticky Rice: Comes with pork sausage, wagyu ribeye skewer, and chicken thigh. There were two sauces provided - one was a sweet & sour and the other one was a spicy green. The spicy green one was my favorite since it had a nice kick to it! The sausage was okay while the skewer and chicken thigh stood out more. Overall, I liked the variety of the combo! Stirred Fried Egg Noodles: We got the noodles primarily as a dish to eat with the bbq mix and got it with fried tofu. This dish had a lot of flavor itself and did its job! It would be a great standalone dish. Rotti Curry: Was craving curry at the time and knew I had to get this! The curry was amazing! The rotti was nice and flaky; it was a bit greasy though. It hit the spot and was a nice amount for sharing. Mango Pandan Sticky Rice: This came out after we cleared our main dishes. It tasted really good and not too sweet. However, it didn't really have the Pandan flavor and tasted like a regular mango sticky rice. Overall, everything was solid! I'd come back to try other dishes here and recommend the ones I had already. American Express is accepted here.

Plenty of very hot fiery Thai chilies? Check. Dried shrimp on top? Check. A wedge of white cabbage to cool things down? Check. Basically, an incredible sophisticated yet simple dish that I crave every so how often and love to take home with me. There's always something to discover in the market next door just remember that they only take cash or EBT cards.

I have been coming here for years and it's still one of my favorite Thai food restaurants. I would…read morego here more often but they close so early in the day so I have to make sure I time it right. Service is always excellent I have no problems I always get what I need and my orders always right. It's a no frills hole in the wall establishment. I have perfected my order and it is always the same - beef pad se ew: delicious, piping hot, garlicky flavorful, beef is a little chewy but it's fine the noodles shine with the Chinese veggies -crispy fried rice: legit in this name crispy, chewy, refreshing paired with salad and ask for some chili fish sauce drizzle it on top delicious bites! -pork jerky: chewy, salty, flavorful but I don't care for the sauce it comes in sells out often get it while you can! It's a lot of food often I have to take a little bit togo but the portion size isn't always consistent so keep that in mind if you are with a larger party. Honorable mentions: Papaya salad is good they have 2 styles get the one that has a crab o watch out though get medium or mild it can be very spicy if you can't handle it. Recently tried the boat noodles and it was interesting very large and filling lots of noodles and toppings. Loved the fried shallots taste and texture it added you smell tom yum but it doesn't taste like it at all very unique taste I don't know what to compare it to. Try it if you want to try something fun and new.

So I've been afraid to try this place…read more.. Why? The last place that was here, was a Thai and Chinese fusion type of spot and I just heard bad things about their practices. Stuff like they cleaned or rinsed the mop in the same sink they prepared the food in. Just unsanitary things and I was concerned that this was perhaps the same business, just rebranded-still not entirely sure. Plus, the appearance kinda gave me fast food vibes-typically whenever a plus has that 'look-up menu' (a menu you have to look up at), it's the unhealthy, cheap fast food variety unseen at most every Thai restaurant. But, for some reason, I decided to give them a chance. And I'm glad I did. They may have my favorite pad thai in the area.I enjoyed it so much, I had to run it back again the next day. I'd also ordered the mango sticky rice. It was satisfying, just a little more syrupy than I care for. I forgot to get a picture of it.
