    All these years later, this is still the best Thai restaurant I've been to in CA. I moved away from Lincoln, but still eat here every chance I get.

    I found this place on a whim and decided to take hubby here for a lunch date because I was craving Thai food. I looked at their menu. They had a good selection and they had great reviews here. We walked in during lunch hours, we seated right away, We got water and menus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was really nice and well put together and very super peaceful music in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the wonton soup, shrimp, and vegetable tempura and chicken pad see ew. Everything came out in a timely manner and everything was hot and delicious portions were great. Everything was very hardy. The service were very attentive water glasses were always full and dirty dishes was always cleared and they were always attentive to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back here again to try other things off the menu because it looks so delicious.

    Food was fantastic. Mango Pumpkin Curry was really yum. Service was quick and friendly. Could not ask for anything more.

    Omg this place is amazing !! If I could give it 10 stars I would ! This is a small family owned Thai restaurant in lincoln CA. It's a husband and wife that owned restaurant they take an hour break everyday from 3-4 pm right before the dinner rush . You could tell they take pride in their food and their establishment. Walking in everything is very clean and organized. They have excellent service . They are very friendly and attentive. For food, I love everything on the menu. If you come you have to try the pineapple rice It's delicious. Everything just taste so fresh. I have a shellfish allergy and they always help me with my order so that I do not get an allergic reaction. I barely go to any place that serves oyster sauce, but I will definitely come here because they take care of me. They make sure that there is no shellfish on my plate and I really appreciate that. Overall, I highly recommend this Thai restaurant. It's very delicious. You will get top-notch service. You will not regret coming here. I can't wait to go back.

    Lunch menu as of 5/18/23. I was warned the takeout menu prices would soon be changing.

    Hurray for $10.95 Weekday Lunch Specials from 11 AM to 3 PM! Salad, entree, white rice, and dessert. Not the largest quantity of food, but I think it is a health-conscious portion. I was told that the To Go menu prices would be going up soon. Salad was lettuce and shredded carrot with a sweet peanut-based dressing. Green Curry Beef was my entree. It had a good amount of beef and a variety of vegetables: green beans, eggplant, bamboo shoots, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. I liked the plating. For $1, you can upgrade to brown rice, which appears to be a multigrain mix in another reviewer's photo. Shrimp costs an extra $2. Dessert was a small scoop of colorful Thai Tapioca, which is green tapioca, coconut milk, and corn. I like getting free Asian desserts with a meal. Thai Tapioca is available on the dessert menu on weekdays primarily. These are dishes I'd be interested in trying in the future: - Red Curry - Boat Noodle Soup - Silver Glass Noodle Soup - Silver Noodle Salad - Pad Eggplant (Pad Ma Keur) - Thai Basil (Pad Kra Pao) - Sweet and Sour (Pad Priew Warn) - Pad Woon Sen (stir-fried silver noodles, eggs, veggies, and protein choice) Warm and inviting restaurant with beautiful gold and red paintings of Thai dancers. Thanks for the recommendation, Lincoln Yelp Elites Tom B. and Aly A.

    My boyfriend and I usually go to Orchid Thai over on Twelve Bridges but we decided we wanted to try a new place. To be honest, I like this place even more. The servers were great and friendly. Food came really fast too. We had the pot stickers, chicken satay, beef and chicken pad Thai, and Thai fried rice with chicken. Everything was so delicious and the portions were pretty big. We left very full. Personally I wanted to try some of their desserts but we were both so full. We will have to try them next time. The ambiance was nice and very relaxed. Perfect setting for a date, or a nice dinner with the family/friends. I cannot wait to come back.

    Pad Woon Sen
    Helen H.

    It is located in the Raley's shopping plaza. We came here for lunch and the restaurant was mostly empty. The service was pretty fast. We started with the chicken larb salad. It was refreshing, but I'm used to it usually being spicy. We also ordered the pad woon sen (noodles) for the kids. I didn't try it, but it had more vegetables than noodles in it. Lastly, we had the basil fried rice with pork. It was good overall, but could've used more flavor. We left full.

    The ever so delightful eggplant stir fry with jumbo shrimp in "Grandmother's sauce". AMAZING!

    How have I not been to this quaint restaurant! Run by a talented husband wife duo. Open select…read morenights of the week, be prepared as it's a very popular restaurant here in town. They offer a wide selection of tasty Burmese food. On the night my daughter and I went it filled very quickly not only inside but takeout as well. My daughter went with the basil beef and I decided on chicken- megorang. We cannot wait to return and try other items!

    The reviewers don't lie about this wonderful little Burmese cuisine place. Friends have told us…read moreabout it, and the reviews tell a story too. The location in Loomis is a little off the beaten path (you think you are leaving town), and in a super small strip mall. Step inside and you find a cute little family owned restaurant that will make you wonder "where did I just get transported to?"... A few tables in the front room and a second dining area to the right. It is important to note that you MUST be patient! There is only the owner running the front of house here. She is doing everything. Super friendly, and being as quick as she can to get tables cleared, people seated, orders taken and served. She does all of this with the most wonderful smile and personality. You will immediately fall in love with her. Many of the diners on this particular night already knew her and appeared to have long standing relationships with the family. We came in on a Saturday evening around 5:15pm and the floor was packed. It remained that way until around 6:30pm. I would suggest coming in later in the evening so the 'regulars' can get in and out. Ok, so now on to the food and why the Green Elephant is such a standout. Everything is super fresh, and flavorful with great depth in the sauces. We started with the tea leaf salad, and pork lumpia. Then Panang chicken and spicy garlic pepper pork and an order of rice. We love spicy food, and requested such (she has a spice scale of 1-10). Our mains were a level 7 and that was sufficient to give us good heat without compromising the flavors. She will also bring you a small dish of chili pepper oil if you want even more heat. By the time we were finished, the floor had cleared, so we know now to arrive a little later. But, return we will !!!

The woman that took our order is cute and helped us out ordering Pretty great slot to eat at for our fist time ever. I THINK the women who are working there are the SISTERS? The food was great. I chose the eggplant dish with tofu, with the hottest of the heat... only up to level five, which is quite no match to my taste buds, that I found some chili oil to try and add more heat this place is quite good, maybe a tad bit better than the one that is closer to us In Roseville? Which is closed today, on fathers day? But anyways the women that first helped us out and served us... Merry me? For she asked us when she was doing her rounds of such if we were ok? Then my mother wanted to order more for togo for her to eat later ons I rated this establishment five stars because the one closest to where we live in, is closed. Then my mother was searching for other place, today there are two restaurants that was already closed because of the time? I think maybe there is some MSG added to the food? Because after eating my eggplant dish, as I drank two cups of the Dr. of the pepper, felt quite sleepy that I believe is some sort of FoodKoma. Hooked it uo with a coconut drink firstly The really cute sexy woman who first greeted us, a d took our orders, she deserves a huge raise Never mind it was not a hookup for the coconut juice that I myself never picked nore said.

The Crab Ragoons are made with thick dough deep fried which is heavy terrible taste not using light phyllo dough rice paper that was light and crispy before. Very disappointing, haven't ordered from them in about a eight months and "will not order again". Food use to be better quality and tasted the difference. Probably cutting back on previous ingredients used and quality is suffering. Cost is probably to high to keep up. It's getting like this at several restaurants I've been to.

Sometimes this spells out trouble because I want to order the whole menu instead of a sensible amount of food. On my latest visit I ordered takeout and got the Tom Kha Soup with tofu ($13.50), Green Curry with tofu ($13.50), Kao Soy ($13.50), House Chow Fun with tofu ($13.50), Thai Tea ($4.50), and Thai Iced Coffee ($4.50). It was a lot of food, but I've learned House of Thai Rice & Noodle is best enjoyed family style where you get to enjoy a few things. The pricing is very reasonable for the portions and the flavor on the dishes is so good! I don't know what they do with their Chow Fun, but the noodles were so flavorful, soft and fluffy and didn't need any extra sauce. The Tom Kha soup is a comfort food for me and this is always a great option. I forgot to order rice with my curry, but eating it like a soup is equally satisfying. The Kao Soy was flavorful and the noodles were great with the broth and toppings. I've dined in and gotten take out and both are great experiences. The team here is so friendly and welcoming. When I order takeout, I typically order at the restaurant and wait and they always have me sit at a table and offer water or another drink while I wait. I do love dining in because the dishes are at their freshest and it makes for better photos. The dining are has plenty of seats and it comfortable. The plaza also has plenty of parking, but the spots nearest to the restaurant tend to fill up. If you're thinking about stopping here, try it, you won't be disappointed!
