Door dash ordered some rare steak/ meatball pho, chicken eggrolls, and beef brother and noodles. Everything that was ordered came packaged, I just wish the utensils included chopsticks. Feeling a litter under the weather so wanted something comforting and warm and this order covered it! Broths came in separate packaging and were extremely hot! ( which is a good thing ) Pho: I liked the fact that you can ask for steak packaged separately. Box came with a good amount of noodles, basil, cilantro, sliced onions, jalapeños, green onion, and hoisin/siracha mixed in a little container. Broth was really good you could taste all the spices - I actually didn't even add the available sauces in the broth and just used it to dip the cooked meat into. Beef broth: good flavor not salty - comes with same pho noodles Chicken eggrolls: good size with a good crunch, some were a little soggy - but that's to be expected since I didn't eat on site. They really didn't have flavor they came with a vinegar based dipping sauce with carried the whole thing.

New favorite place in town. I order the Chinese food from here usually and it is consistently so delicious. I am going to try the pho next. You cannot go wrong here. Quality food, amazing service all around.

Ordered a shrimp pad see ew for takeout. Good parking spots; located in a plaza. Fast service. Good food. The pad see ew had a lot of garlic so overall the dish was super flavorful and well made. The shrimp was cooked very tender. Had a good amount of carrots and broccoli for veggies. Will definitely get again

Pineapple fried rice is so soft and sticky.

The pineapple fried rice is so soft and sticky. I wonder when did they change their rice? The Chicken Pho was too salty. Is that salt or too much MSG? Somethings have changed and not for the better.

Food: 3 - 4.25. Came by on a Thursday around 6 pm as a recommendation from a friend. The parking lot was mostly full and it was busy inside. I ordered food to go and she said it would be ready in about 30 minutes. I ordered their Pad Thai with chicken, Pad Se Eew with beef, and Pineapple Curry with chicken. Almost exactly 30 minutes later, she called my name. I checked on the food when it was ready to go and it was at the right temperature. I tried everything and, to me, the pineapple curry was the best and I would definitely order it again. The pad see ew was standard. The pad Thai was disappointing. Maybe I should have ordered it with shrimp. Service was good. The place has only inside seating and can't really handle large groups. Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Value: 3.5

I read the reviews before I ordered so I was expecting some amazing food and se So, when I placed my order for two days, I asked that they call when they arrived as I was staying at a hotel and I asked that they knock on the door when the food arrived. I ordered directly from the restaurant online, First, I never received a call. Approximately 30 minutes from the delivery time I called the restaurant, (approximately 25 minutes before closing because I was sleeping a lot due to the surgery), but they guaranteed the delivery probably because the hotel is practically next to the restaurant. Then I checked my email and saw my order was delivered. I opened my hotel door and it was just left in the hallway outside my door. Who leaves food outside a hotel door and does not even call or knock?? Anyone could have tampered with it or it could have been stolen. Again, No one ever called and no one ever knocked on the door. Secondly, I asked for utensils, there were none in the bag or any kind of sauce, Third, one of my orders was Yellow Curry Shrimp. The Rice arrived in a rice container and the shrimp in curry juice in another container. I have to give this Restautant a fail on service all away around even though they hired an Uber person named "Sherry" to deliver. Horrible service. Second, fail on no utensils or plate or container to put the rice in and then pour the shrimp and juice over. The other meal was a noodle meal...again no utensils/. I clearly listed in special instructions; I was in a hotel. and they were delivering to a hotel . I paid almost $50 to not be able to eat my food because only one person working the desk, so I have to go hungry and wait to eat another day, Fail Teresa

Great place for tasty thai food. I ordered the chicken pad see ew, crab rangoons, mango sticky rice, and bought a bag of their lotus blossom cookies. It was my first time trying their cookies and I couldnt stop eating them. Would recommend them as dessert or to go. Their mango sticky rice is also amazing! The food can be pricey here, but overall great restaurant and kind staff.

So this place has some good dishes. Their pho soup is very good. Some of the other items are Americanized versions of Chinese food of course. The one bad point that I have to say about this restaurant is they can't keep up with demand. I want in there wants to order food to sit down inside and they told me it would be 45 minutes. I will also say that when this restaurant was revamped six or seven years ago, they removed my favorite item which was egg foo young. That's a personal issue with me though. read more

The food is outstanding and reasonably priced. We have been eating here for many years and the quality is consistently good. They have a large menu offering Thai, Laotian, and Asian food. There is something for everyone. Spice levels can be adjusted to your preference. They have a very good Thai iced tea, and the staff is always very nice. They get busy on the weekends but are very organized and efficient. If you get your order to go, everything is packed well and carefully. read more

I've been coming here consistently for a few weeks now since moving to town, and I've been extremely impressed! While admittedly I haven't tried out a decent amount of the menu, what I have tried has mostly been great. The Pad Thai is really good, it's savory and the portions are really good. The satay skewers are delicious, especially with the peanut sauce they give. Same story with the spring rolls, though different sauce, and their Thai iced teas are strong and not watered down like some other places. The only thing I haven't enjoyed as much has been the mango sticky rice to be honest, but I've loved everything else and have come back several times! read more

Suvans is a great local Thai fusion restaurant in Lompoc. I went with a semi large (7 people) office going away party. The service was quick and we were easily able to order, enjoy lunch, and still have plenty of time visit. I had the war wonton soup which was brought out in a large bowl it was a huge portion that could have easily been shared with two people if you weren't wanting a huge meal. If you are a fan of Thai ice tea they have option with Boba. The prices were reasonable especially for the portion size of food. read more

I've picked up food from here 2 times already and I've only lived here for about a week and a half! The first time I had yellow curry with beef medium spice. It was tasty, lots of beef and good amount of potato, carrot, and onion. The spice was just right too. The second time around I had papaya salad and pad thai with chicken. The papaya salad was nice and fresh tasting. Peanuts added crunch. The pad thai was good too. Lots of chicken, not sickeningly sweet like a lot of other places. All the servings are enough for 2 people, or for 2 days :) read more

This place is AMAZING! The fresh spring roll with chicken, yellow curry with shrimp and chicken medium spice, and the combination fried rice is what I almost always order at least once a week. The Pad Thai noodles with beef are equally delicious. The one thing I would recommend is that they consider getting a second line at the cash register or designate an area for picking up to go orders because it is very inconvenient to wait an extra 15 minutes to get your food when that is the reason most of us get to go orders in the first place so we don't have to wait. Just an idea that might help you ladies get better cash tips in the future. Getting fast service is what keeps the customer happy. 5 stars for the good food 1 star for the inconvenience of waiting 15 minutes in line to get a to go order that is already called in ahead of time read more

We decided to take a bet and try it out and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic and great the food tasted. We ordered mapo tofu medium spice and beef stir fry with onions. All entrees came with white rice. Rice was cooked well. Mapo tofu had bit of mala spice and it was so good! It had good salty, spicy flavor that I liked. It also came with pork and you can choose to put meat on it or not. The beef stir fry had really good flavor and matched well with rice. We ended up finishing everything and we were very content with our dinner. The service was great, and the food came very fast. There was actually only one other guest party other than us. We assume it's because it's weekday and not many people are in the area. I hope more people check this place out.

Their buffet is a great value and I'll definitely be back when I have a craving for Chinese food especially if ,I'm really hungry like this time.

The buffet was well stocked and had all of the Chinese staples people love. The orange chicken was so good. They had green beans cooked up in a super flavorful sauce that were also delicious. The egg rolls were great and they even have a selection of soups. The service was great and the buffet was only $15.95/person.

The wonton soup, orange peel chicken, the eggplant, chow fun, and jasmine tea were all so flavorful. Not only that the service here was fantastic. Kudos to the one server that was juggling multiple tables at once, it's not an easy job however he was positive, friendly and upbeat. He got all of our orders out in a timely manner and also put our items in to go boxes for us once we were done eating. We definitely will be coming back!

It was Christmas night and it was raining, the poor drive. It wasn't his fault. We were still able to enjoy our version of Christmas dinner. The food was tasty and flavorful. The amount was perfect for 4 people. I was unhappy about the broken container juice dripped on my carpet. My original choice for dinner they were closed. I'm very grateful China king took my order at last minute.

I went to his Monday night buffet for the first time, this evening. His vegetable dishes are outstanding. He knows how to incorporate exotic spices to bring out the flavor of the food he is serving, not overwhelm it. We are privileged to have Chef Garrett here, instead of losing him to Europe, Asia, or some big city! Thank you Chef Garrett!!!

This is the nearest place for me to get my pho in this area. Sad to say, their pho is tricky. Some days you will get really good broth and flavor, and next day, its really blend and plain. You really don't know what you gonna get. I am not sure its because they have different cooks working, is that why the portions are different time to time too? But like I said its perfect for me to get craving out of the way. Service could really be nonexistent sometimes. I try to avoid lunch and dinner rush, so most of time I get pretty good service, and food comes out on time. But couple times, when it got busy, it lacks a lot. My recommendation is be ready to order when the server comes around the first time. One last thing, they really need to do something about that ceiling. come on, am I the only one noticing the disgustingly unsanitary ceiling? Owner put in that much money to fix the paint and décor, you should look up and fix the problem. I feel like I have to cover my bowl when I am eating because I am afraid that something might fall from the ceiling. read more

This is absolutely the best restaurant in town. I eat from there at least 1 time a week and sometimes more. The food is fresh, healthy and taste delicious. I'm a vegetarian and there are several dishes I can have there. The owner, Michael, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. My daughter worked a Suvan's and speaks very highly of him and the restaurant. I don't see why others said this isn't very good, because every one I've ever taken to Suvan's loves it and it becomes their favorite restaurant. A++++100% great! read more

We live just outside of Lompoc and always went to Goleta for the best Pho. Took a chance and tried Suvan's Pho. Exceptional! The broth is fantastic and comes with a good helping of all the add-ins. Portion size is very generous too! Our favorite is the chicken Pho. No more trips to Goleta for our Pho hit anymore! read more

The portions were large, the quality was great, and the prices were reasonable. Their speciality dish had a lot of shrimp. The dish was had good flavor and it was only $15. We also ordered the Pho, where the portions were large so we had to end up packing leftovers. read more
