It was good pad thai but after seeing my Hanoi Bone in, I would have to come to try that dish. I love the overall decor of this place.

The decor is funky, fun, and welcoming with cool music playing in the background. Our server had a bunch of tables to take care of, but we never felt neglected and she was super cheerful, too. We shared the crispy rice cake with the added bonus of Mexican grilled cheese on top of it. My partner really enjoyed her bountiful and large Cobb Salad. I had the Porchetta sandwich which was tender and juicy and piping hot! Street is tucked in the back of a sorta strip mall, but it's worth your effort to find it!

The interior is quite spacious with plenty of sunlight, and even when we left it wasn't very busy for a Sunday around lunchtime. I ordered drunken noodles with steamed tofu and left pleased. The server didn't ask me for spice level, but it definitely had a kick to it, which I appreciated. The duck noodle soup sounded like it'd be a great, unique dish - but the duck is probably best left to dry noodle dishes, where it can remain crispy. In the soup, the duck lost its texture and flavor. The other classics that the group ordered (deluxe pad thai, chicken pad see ew) were all satisfactory.

Service was very good, but we were early and alone for part of the meal. The food was all good, some better than others depending on who was eating it. But I think what message I would pass on is that you can expect a twist with many of the items, which if you want same old, might not thrill you. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, it gave me a "Ratatouille" moment where I was forced to rethink how I felt and thought about some dishes where I was forced to face the rut I have been living in, and I enjoyed it. The Kung Pow Chicken I found of particular interest, it was made using larger chucks of vegetables and a slightly lighter sauce. It had the standard Chicken and celery, but it threw in just a few red and green peppers, and in place of the usual Water Chestnuts, it VERY successfully substituted perfectly cooked and crunchy zucchini, and was fun and enjoyable. If I didn't love my water chestnuts, I wouldn't have missed a thing. It also had some of the best distributed "Pow", just a good smooth low heat, steady, which wouldn't drive anyone but a child to the water tap. The Pork fried rice was not a white or dark usual, It was a yellow/saffron like presentation, which liked a little sauce added to it (and I like a little mustard as well), with a good dose of Pork chucks, and sparse on the onions and sprouts. If you want something out of the normal, it's probably worth your time to explore a couple things and be prepared a twist might be tossed onto the table. Don't know how often it happens, but I was 2 for 2 on what I ordered. And the vegetable lo mein contained a good dose of vegetables with the noodles, which I thought was great. My noodle fan of a daughter was a little less enthusiastic. Hahaha

I had the fish and chips, and was very impressed. The fish was soft and flaky, with a lighter batter that added crispiness without weighing everything down. The fries (chips?) were delicious, seasoned nicely and prepared the way I like. The dish definitely did justice to British pub fare. Service was excellent, everyone was friendly and competent. Even though we arrived about an hour before closing, they were still on their game. The restaurant has beautiful views out onto the water, but we were inside; the sister restaurant downstairs is probably the better option for outdoor seating and scenic views. But for seafood, Surf is a solid choice!
