I pulled up, and the lady comes out to talk to me, she asked me if I had been there before and I said I didn't. She said take a look at the menu, and I will come back to you. It turns out she was going back-and-forth between being the cashier, and taking orders. If they had a box, it wasn't working. I decided to go with the pulled pork sandwich on a baguette, I chose all of the veggies, with no cheese or avocado, which was extra price. I requested the barbecue sauce, which was the non-spicy version. The sandwich was excellent. The baguette was a very high-quality roll, the pulled pork was savory, and all of the veggies were nice and crisp. The barbecue sauce tasted like it was a vinegar based, and it had a great "Tang" to it. It provided a nice pop of acid to offset the richness of the pulled pork. I could only finish half of my sandwich, and I had the other half for dinner. The sandwich came out to $14 and change after tax, , which was reasonable for such a good sandwich. The reason I'm taking off a star, is because of the wait time. The wait time from when I pulled up till when I pulled out with my sandwich was roughly 15 minutes. That's quite a wait for a sandwich. You can order ahead online, but you still have to wait in the line to pick up your food. They do delivery, but they only do one delivery run a day at 11 AM, and so you have to get your order in on time. They shouldn't have the person running back-and-forth between being cashier, and taking orders as well. Maybe have another person taking orders. Hopefully the next time I come back, the wait won't be so long. I wish these guys would get a "brick-and-mortar." They would do very well. Thank you!

The food was fantastic. None too oily, nor too saturated with complex flavor profiles. A consistent experience throughout; however, this place shines when it comes to an unexpected item. Their coffee. I walked in once and ordered just a coffee. No sifting through a tiny menu booklet, peering over ridiculous coffee names, and no micromanaging ingredients. I simply requested a coffee and they gave me what is the greatest cup of joe in my entire life. It reminds one of espresso, a kind of dark roasted and chocolate-y flavor, but it is palatable and pleasant. No bitterness at all, but it doesn't sacrifice its richness in getting rid of the bitterness. If nothing else, go to this place for their coffee! Purely and simply a divine brew.

The couple that runs the restaurant are so hospitable and excited to share their craft. We live out of state and come every time we're in town! I was surprised to see people complaining about portion sizes or price - that's absurd. I can never finish my plate and it reheats like a dream. Please don't weigh the bad reviews when considering if you should eat here. I think those people are just generally dissatisfied with life, and it has nothing to do with the food. They probably don't even really like Thai food. Trust me. Go. Try new things you don't usually order. Ask for recommendations. It's all exceptional.

Delicious food, Excellent service [Arcata CA]…read more We found this Thai restaurant from searching Yelp. We were still a little full from our late lunch in Klamath so we just ordered some appetizers and dessert: Bencharong Wings - the wings were deep fried and it was delicious with the homemade Thai chili sauce. It came with 7-pcs. Perfectly crisped. Golden Tofu - hubby loved this deep fried tofu appetizer. It was served with sweet & sour sauce and topped with crushed peanuts Sweet Sticky Rice w/ Mango (seasonal) - my all time favorite Thai dessert. Can't go wrong with this sweet treat. Nice, cozy interior with lots of wall decor. Customer service was pleasant and friendly. One very clean all-gender restroom. We are 310 miles away from the restaurant (over 5 hours) but would love to dine here again when we return to the Humboldt County. Parking is plentiful. Review #3778

Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish…read more We waited about 40 minutes for our food, which was already frustrating, but the bigger problem was that our order was incorrect. Unfortunately, we didn't discover the mistake until we got home, making it impossible to have it corrected without another trip back. Even worse, 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered were so bad that we barely ate them. My family and I have eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants over the years, and I honestly can't remember a single time we've ever left a Thai dish unfinished--until now. The ingredients didn't taste fresh, and the flavors were simply unpleasant. The dishes lacked the balance, freshness, and authentic flavors we typically expect from Thai food. Between the long wait, the incorrect order, and food that was largely inedible, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. We were genuinely looking forward to trying Kim's Thai Food, but unfortunately, we won't be returning.

The first hiccup, was the restaurant is less than 10 minutes from our place, yet from the time I ordered to the time the food came, it was just under an hour. Plus, it was after lunchtime on a Saturday, which should've meant that the place should have been less busy That's a long wait for a short distance. The food itself was pretty good. My first order was the cod, fritters. The flavor was good. I could definitely taste the cod. What I didn't care for, was the texture. They were pretty gummy. I don't know if that's how they are supposed to be or not, but I was not a fan of the texture. They did come with a red sauce for dipping, but it was a bit too spicy for me. On the other end of the spectrum, however, was the curried goat, which I loved. I called ahead to ask if it was spicy, and they said, not really. And they were right. It wasn't really that spicy. It was a mellow spice that made my forehead sweat just a little bit, but well within what I like for spicy. The flavor itself was fantastic. The goat was bone in, but it was so tender. It was literally falling off the bone. Goat can be gamey, but this wasn't. It had a nice mellow flavor. There was also a gravy, which had a deep, rich flavor, and the rice had a good texture and a nice flavor also. It didn't taste like plain white rice. Overall, even with the delivery cost, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely order from here again, but the next time I would go into the restaurant instead of doing delivery. Also, while I liked the flavor of the cod, fritters, next time I would order something else. Thank you so much for an overall good meal.

My friends and I were visiting the Eureka area for the weekend for the first time. I'm not sure if…read morethis is common for most places in the area, but this restaurant wasn't open during the hours stated online and on their door. We showed up at around 1:30 on a Saturday and tried to open the door to find it locked. We saw workers inside, so we were a little confused. We just waited outside for a little bit, trying to research another place to grab lunch. About five minutes later, one of the workers invited us inside. I decided to get the sampler platter. It came with plantains, jerk chicken, cod fritters, and vegetables. The sauce that it came with was so unbearably spicy, so I'd definitely recommend avoiding this if you can't handle spice. The food was something different than what I'm used to, but I really enjoyed the plantains! Service was on the slower side, and they forgot one of our dishes, which ended up being fine. The inside of the restaurant felt very clean and open.

So beware and check the weather before going and dress accordingly. It's nice on sunny days but then you have to be mindful of the UV. I appreciate our waitress getting our drinks and food out to us through the chaos of people being seated outside, then being reseated inside when room opened up, or like one table, just leaving! Their plum sake is very good, smooth and light. I also got a hot tea but that was only hot for a moment out there, the sake definitely did more to keep us warm. Their ramen bowls are now my favorite in downtown, the pork is DELICIOUS, the broth could be a drink on its own and the marinated egg has a perfectly soft yolk; it's a very pretty dish. My favorite sushi is split between the Russian roulette and the ocean queen (I think that's its name).

Craftsmanship and attention to detail are central to Sushi and Japanese cuisine, none of which I could find in what I was served. We ordered: salmon lover roll, vegetable tempura, and chicken katsu. - salmon lover roll was not notable, bland, almost too sweet. It came with the smallest blob of wasabi and two slices of ginger (one which was very long for some reason). - vegetable tempura was serviceable, if you mess this up you get 0 stars. - chicken katsu is the star of this abysmal show though. I was served two cut up chicken katsu slices. The presentation was horrible. Loosely strewn about the plate over some cut up veg and a fork on the side of the plate. For an $18 chicken katsu entree, no rice is criminal. This entree comes with miso soup which was served in a small bowl half full. Service was slow, took them 40 min to get the food out and the tempura came after the roll. On a positive note they took our card quick, the atmosphere was cool and the bathrooms clean.
