    Duck fried rice and Lao style #17. Papaya Salad (Som Tam)
    Karen K.

    Hands down the best Thai in the area. Even when we order DoorDash to the office it still tastes the same. If you ask for extra spicy they deliver and it comes with habanero peppers which we love. The fried rice or anything that comes with rice is made with basmati rice! By far one of the best duck fried rice and Lao style papaya salad I've had. Everything we order is always 5 stars. The service and ambiance are lovely. Don't skip this place when you're in the the area.

    Good food and excellent customer service. We loved the flavorful spicy wings appetizer and couldn't get enough of the sauce it was tossed in. We also enjoyed the Eggplant with chicken, Praram Long with chicken, and the Crab Fried Rice. It was nice that each dish came with a little side salad on each plate. Ended our dinner perfectly with the delicious mango sticky rice. The owner Dave was very hospitable. We will be coming back to try other dishes.

    The food, service, and ambiance is great!!! I've come here often for a year now and I'll say this is my favorite restaurant in Richmond! David is so nice, he treats his regulars very well.

    We have been to Sala Thai many times- and thought it was time for a review! What we got: Bbq Pork Crispy Shrimp Pad see ew - sub onions and mushrooms (no cabbage or broccoli) Bbq Salmon (forgot the pic of this) As usual- everything was fabulous! We have never had a bad meal here. It is delicious every time! The owner is friendly and funny! And the space is very welcoming! If you are craving delicious Thai food- give Sala a try -you won't be sorry! P.S. I need to come here more often!

    Everything is good here, as far as what we have tasted. Had lunch Christmas Eve and it was very satisfying and delicious. Service is great, a little pricey but overall it's worth it. Local neighborhood and we will support them anytime we want fresh rolls and good curry. Atmosphere is good not too crowded so we liked that.

    Tom ka soup, green curry,rice and fresh spring rolls.

    Friendly service, really good food one of my family's favorites. The restaurant is run by a really sweet family, and we're always greeted with a smile

    The host was great and the ambiance was perfect not too loud or quiet. Now, the food was AMAZING, we were surprised of how amazing everything was. Wish the food we ordered would come around the same time but other than that, it was fucking delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

    I got together with my former manager to catch up and enjoy a meal. She lives north of me, so we…read moresettled on a halfway point. I recommended we grab pho but with the initial pick being closed, we pivoted to Pho Nation! When we came for dinner, it was quiet. We were one of the only customers but a few diners were coming in and out for takeout. The restaurant is super casual with not much decor or detail to it. The service was just okay and a bit confusing. For those dining in, they give you a menu and you order with them but everything else you need to go to the counter for (pay, water, any requests). We also weren't checked on during our meal. For food, I had the Regular Chicken Breast Pho. Even being a regular, it was a massive portion that I took home! The broth was good but I was never given a spoon. The noodles were on the smaller end as if they were cut. When I received my bowl the noodles were all compact so my theory is they just dumped it in there and assumed the broth would break it up. The chicken was tender. Everything else was on the table such as utensils, sauce, and garnishes. My old manager said her dish was great! I can understand this might be a fave pho place for residents in the area but I'm not sure if I'd willingly go back. It was great to try and the food was good. The restaurant is off San Pablo Dam Road with a giant private parking lot outside.

    This used to be a Taco Bell…read more Three of us came here for lunch today and we all wanted to try their sandwiches. Both my companions got pork sandwiches. My friend decided to get extra meat and that was an extra $4. They also gave her double the vegetables for an additional $4 and extra meat as well. Her Thai iced tea was quite expensive for $6. Usually restaurants charge about $4 for Thai iced tea. I got their tofu sandwich which was full of tofu and not enough vegetables. I personally would have prefer more vegetables and less tofu. I did not like their tofu because it is a pre-fried tofu which is probably sold at Ranch 99 and from overseas. That kind of tofu has a non- creamy and somewhat tough texture. It's a bit dry even though they braise it. I prefer non-fried tofu that is slightly sauteed maintaining the creamy tofu texture. This was overly processed tofu. I will not order their tofu sandwich again. I would like to try their chicken sandwich next time and hope that they give me more vegetables. It will be nice to try some of their noodle soups which everyone else was ordering except for our table. The service was pretty quick. Their bathroom had no amenities like toilet paper. I will come back but don't know when.

    This was not my choice of restaurant but I went w/ my uncle & aunt, real meat eaters !!…read moreSo the waitress stated this is a meat place & they stopped carrying veggie burgers , plus they had no vegetables ! NO VEGETABLES ?!! But I was able to get a very plain salad ( iceberg, cucumber, tomato & croutons ) a w/italian dressing plus some sautéed mushrooms & the ever reliable French fries !! ( Definitely not a place for vegans but vegetarians would be ok if they ate dairy & eggs ) I couldn't believe they discontinued the veggie burger & had no frozen California blend veggies ! I won't be going back !!!!! Plus the fries were not that great either !! They were shoestrings but some were overcooked : really hard & dry ( uneatable ) ! There was not really notable decor , but it just seemed old & outdated, not in a charming way !!

The last 4 times my parents have gone there, Embers has gotten a simple plain cheeseburger wrong. My sister always asks for "A plain cheeseburger, meat and cheese only" This time we were given a plain hamburger, no cheese or anything else. The times before were a hamburger with mayonnaise, a cheeseburger that literally had everything on it and the other time it was a plain hamburger again. I don't know if the food ticketing system has changed or what but I've heard my sister order a plain cheeseburger each time while on the phone with them and this is what happens ...
