Thai Cafe 2 - From the top: Spicy beef salad, Jasmine rice and Kung Pao chicken spicy - Thai Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

We came here for an early dinner. First time coming to this restaurant, although I am a local. We ordered steamed potstickers for appetizer and two dinners. The potstickers came out with a little cup of sauce for dipping. My partner dipped his potsticker in the sauce and when he pulled it out, a dead roach came out of the sauce. We were just beyond grossed out. We showed it to the waitress and got out of there as quick as we could. It was just the most disgusting thing ever. As we were discussing the incident our feelings on it got worse if that's at all possible. Like, how many dead roaches are in that sauce? Is the kitchen pulling them out of the sauce before they put the sauce in the little cups? Clearly, the container that holds the sauce is sitting out, uncovered. Seriously... How many dead roaches are in that? Disgusting! read more

This was our first time coming here and it was kind of disappointing. We ordered pho, cream cheese wonton and pad Thai. The service was really slow and the pho had way more broth than noodles or meat. It was also kind of pricey for what you get. The only thing I like was the cream cheese wonton. The sweet and sour dipping sauce was good, but other than that, it definitely needs improvement read more

The food is so delicious. Best Yellow Curry with chicken. Lots of chicken and just the right amount of vegetables. The waitress was so nice and welcoming us. Fast service also. We ordered then did our shopping and the timing was perfect. Delicious. Will definitely be returning read more

Thai Cafe 2 - Yellow Curry with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Delicious Thai food! I had their Chicken Pho and it was good, a little salty but not bad. However their Pad See Ew is to die for. Very light seasoning with a hint of sweetness makes it so delicious! Server was amazing. It is a tiny place so in the evening it is not very crowded. Great place to go eat if you're looking for reasonably priced Thai food. read more

Thai cafe2 was across the street from our hotel so we chose it for dinner. The only waitress was bustling, serving all the tables as it was busy. The restruant was clean and the noise level with average. There were lots of selections available. My husband chose the pineapple fried rice and I had the rad na with chicken. Both servings were very very large. I was unable to finish mine. There was lots of chicken and broccoli as well as noodles. my dinner was served in a bowl and it was more soupy then I am used to. I was unable to finish it. I eat Thai food at home about o ooo nice a month and this was as good. Thanks for the filling meal. read more

Wow, i was not greeted at all. A very COLD person took my order at the counter. She talked very fast COLD very abruptly spoket to me like it was a major bother. No hellos no thank you nothing do not go there it was better dealing with a robot at least you get a thank you, have a nice day read more

We came to Joshua Tree to celebrate a friend's birthday on a holiday weekend(12.28) , which meant large crowds and busy restaurants . We came here hoping to enjoy a meal. Our party of six walked in and were immediately and rudely told there was no room for us, I'm quoting the server " theres no room for you." We weren't asking to all sit together and were happy to be flexible- especially since we had been out exploring Joshua Tree all day and were hungry . There were a couple of empty tables, yet we weren't given a chance to explore our options. No greeting, no kindness, just dismissal. Being busy doesn't excuse being unkind and unprofessional. I'm sharing this experience in the hope that it reaches management and the server involved, so the issue can be addressed and future guests don't have a similar experience. read more

the Curry Duck is fantastic ... if you like DUCK SKIN. !!! I mean you pay full price for a duck dish and expect duck meat.... half of the duck was skin... this is not ok and I made full effort to talk to thembefore writing aa review about it to no avail... tasty food but too many issues with skimpy portions etc etc... such a shame for a decent place to go low like this and duck skin not meat is real low and unexceptable thus this harsh review read more

Craving Thai food and wanted to get the basic Pad Thai and Pad see Ew. So I came here to order the two to go. I was so excited to eat but the first bite of the Pad Thai was disgustingly bland. How does one mess up the basic dish such as Pad Thai? There are no words that can describe how horrible it was. The Pad See Ew was somewhat decent at least. Such a waste to have to throw away the entire Pad Thai. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Everything was delicious. Friendly and attentive service, clean, and reasonably priced. Will come again. read more

Just moved here. Stumbled on this Thai spot right off Hwy 62. It was popping! So many customers! And.... the food was excellent! Royal Siam Thai- If you love Thai food. Then this is the spot! read more

The friendly staff saved it from 1 star. Combo fried rice smelled like a fish boat. Dry beef, old shrimp, little to no seasoning apart from the old meat. Teriyaki chicken. Dry chicken. Barely any teriyaki sauce and the best part.... The veggies or veggie I should say was ice berg lettuce, which would have wilted had the dish itself been hot. The brown and white rice were fine. Egg rolls on par with anything I could have picked up in the freezer section next door at the old Stater Brothers. Won't be back. Terrible. read more

Food is good. Im new to the area. Unfortunately, this is the second time getting food for takeout. As soon as I walked in, the waitress is sitting down engaged with her phone. No greeting or hi or smile. She just says how many? I kindly say "hi, I have takeout" She says "name?". Hands me my bag and walks away. Says nothing to me, No thank you. Just turns her head and walks away. Service is what makes a difference. Service is your business card for your establishment. A few other people I have met in the area have also mentioned the same. I found a different Thai restaurant read more

Well I don't recommend for the pho I was so excited when they started serving but disappointed to say that it's horrible no flavor and if you ask for chicken or any meat that all you will get and tons of noodles I had to pay extra for everything else and they brought it out on a plate and I had to put it in again flavorless read more

Fresh authentic Thai food. Tried the Chicken satay, combination fried rice and broccoli/tofu stir fry. They had amazing flavor. Would come back for dinner. Generous potions. read more

I dropped by this place during my visit to Yucca Valley. I am crazy about Thai food and was a bit skeptical to try a Thai place in Yucca valley. But the food was very delicious and the portion is great. The waitress is very kind and soft spoken. Their ice cream is yummy but just know that it's a GIANT scoop. It's difficult for one person to finish, unless you are still hungry after your meal. read more

I've lived here 25 years and have seen this place change several times. With the last owners, I went only twice mostly only because of slow service. Great food, great service. Then they got a "B" rating that didnt' go away and I stopped going. When I heard this changed hands, I knew I wanted to try it out again. Went last night and had hesitated - even had a Plan B to back out if we got bad service off the bat - because of the contrasting low ratings and reviews. Interesting the reviews seem to be either five star or one star, pretty much. hmmm. Well, when I got there, I saw and "A" rating. Good start! My friend and I enjoyed very personable and prompt service and very tasty food in large portions. I had the Tom Yum soup and my friend had the Panang Curry. We were both impressed (and relieved) and will be back. Only good things to say. read more

Every meal I have had there has been superb, and the service is very fine. I love the place.

This time I ordered the green curry to go. It was delicious! I think it s the best thing they have in the menu and the lady was very nice on the phone and at the time of pick up. Thank you! read more

I never have given a poor review. My husband was not doing well so we wanted to get Some Won Ton . We hadn't gone here for several years but they used to have the Best War Won Ton. This was the worst Ive ever eaten. The chicken was dry and hard as leather. The Won tons were squished on top with hardly any filling.$17.35 for a small container. Tasted like it was weeks old. We will never return. Not clean inside either. ​ read more

I am so happy we have good Thai food in Yucca Valley. Good service as well. Always a treat!

Food is great, and not just great for the high desert. Great takeout option. The papaya salad, eg rolls and pad Thai are all excellent

Absolutely fantastic food. Service is great. Y3s it tak3s time but everything is cooked to order and delicious. You can tell that they are cooking from the heart and food that is authentic as far as I can tell! Garlic Pepper beef is Absolutely to die for!! Small and quiet but the ambiance is peaceful! read more

This Thai place is delicious. I had the red curry and pad se ew ... the red curry flavor was on point flavor wise and had such a lovely kick of spice. It came with bamboo shoots basil and bell peppers and chicken. You can tell it's a great place cuz when i went to go pick it up she was handling about 6 Togo orders plus tables inside. Have some patience cuz some people were rude about waiting when the server doesn't have a million arms. If you love Thai. This is the spot ! read more

Ordered takeout with the old Thai & Lao number. I guess this is why they didn't have wings heh. Yellow Curry was the thinnest curry I've ever had with a watery consistency and a bit harsh. Green peppers added in Yellow Curry is a little odd. Not enough rice given how runny it was. Tom Kha soup had a solid base but was watery and too sour because it also lacked coconut milk. It also had cabbage (???) in it that didn't work very well. Luckily we had a can of coconut milk on us and doctored both dishes. Aside from the curry still being a similar consistency to the Thom Kha both dishes were adequate, but they at $13-16 each I shouldn't have to fix them. Maybe non soup/curry dishes are ok? Don't order anything that needs coconut milk. Judging by someone's experience a few days ago this isn't a one off, they're seriously skimping on ingredients. read more

We love the one in 29 Palms, so we were all excited when we found out they opened a second place here in town. But I don't think it's as good as the one in 29. Going to give them time to settle in and will try it again. Ordered the panang chicken. They put frozen peas and carrots from a bag in there and they were still cold. Just didn't have the good flavor that the original place has. Husband wasn't thrilled with his meal either (I can't remember what he even ordered). We will definitely try again in hopes things are better. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but I DO think the other place is better. read more

TLDR: if it was socially acceptable I would have licked the plates. The BF and I were passing through after Joshua Tree vacay, and decided against another place after stopping outside and got ghost town vibes w good reviews. We came here as it was close by. WIN! After being hailed on , Tom Kha was just what I needed. the Spicy noodle came first and it soooo hit the spot. We weren't offered to choose spice level and it came out on the spicy side but worked fine for me . The wok flavor was on point and the noodles fresh and al dente w good basil flavor. Green Curry comes w a generous bowl of white rice very fresh vegees, soup had lots of galangal. , lemongrass , curry leaf very balanced tart and savory . We did tofu/ vegees and no "meat" (we're not vegetarians ) and was very satisfied. Everything super fresh. They ran out of Thai tea so we both got green tea (came in pot to share) and dim sum style cups. I crave Asian when traveling.... Filled a craving I didn't know I had today. Solid place. read more

I had lunch there yesterday and ordered the Pho. Prior to placing my order the waitress was sitting a a both talking on her cellphone. After a few minutes she walked over and dropped off a menu and just walked away. She did not even have the courtesy to say hello or would you like something to drink. About 10 minutes I had to wave my hand to get her attention as she was still preoccupied talking on her cellphone. She walked over and took my order and at that time I asked for water with lemon. A short time later she brought my food but no water. I had to request it again. After I finished my meal I move my bowel to the center of the table so she would see that I had finished. I waited 10-15 minutes and no sight of her. I had to get up and go look for her only to find her hiding behind the partition talking on her cellphone. I definitely will not return and would not recommend. read more

Quaint little thai restaurant right next door to a supermarket. Ordered a salad and 2 other dishes. The salad was ordered "medium" but came out super spicy. The other dish was ordered medium spice and the last one was ordered mild. Both of our entrees were not spicy. So, overall it was medium if you make the salad super spicy and the other two dishes bland. No alcohol options. We asked if we could bring our own alcohol in but were told no so we just had water. There's not a lot of asian food options in Yucca Valley, so they have to put up with just OK quality. Unfortunately, we bought some groceries at the supermarket before dinner and the back of the receipt from Stater Brothers was full of coupons for $ off at this restaurant. We spent over $50 on our dinner and could have saved $10 if we would've shown the waiter our grocery receipt. At least they don't charge you for using you credit card here. One extra star. Most of the food here is take out. There were just a few people in the restaurant. Any place that does mostly take out is usually not the greatest. read more

Pros: Food was really good! Cons: Ordered SALTED BEEF but gave us SALTED PORK and even charged us BEEF. When confronted to the lady, she kept insisting it was BEEF and walked away. Should have been a red flag that she was in denial and didn't even bother to check or hear me out. My bf doesn't eat Pork and owned a restaurant, I've been a cook, and anyone who has cooked knows Beef is DARK RED Meat and not WHITE Meat with Pork/Chicken Texture. She was so irritated that she even bumped into my son TWICE without even saying EXCUSE ME or SORRY. It was our first time trying this place and I was gonna let it go but after the inconsiderate incident involving my son, I regret not taking a picture of the dish. BEWARE if you don't eat pork as you might get served pork. read more

So looking forward to this meal and we were all so disappointed. 5 dishes, expensive and none even came close to their authentic selves. Service was weird too.. All the coconut milk and cream was so watered down, including the dessert. Never seen a Papaya salad with more cabbage than papaya, noodles had no flavor, the soup- no coconut cream milk and the panang curry was just as bad... Do not visit here. read more

Food is decent but the service is terrible! Ordered extra spicy pad se ew- not spicy at all. Ordered Spicy Basil Fried Rice - never got it instead they substituted it for vegetables . Asked if they could correct their mistake both the person who took the order and owner refused to accept or even correct their mistake. So infuriating they both insisted they were correct their entire conversation. Never going back. This is the third time this has happened. First it was small items missing or my Thai tea and now this one. Three times is not a coincidence it's a pattern. 0 stars read more

Pineapple fried rice is good but lacking pineapple and raisins which make it a pineapple fried rice. The flavor is good but totally lacking in ingredients. If I ordered pineapple rice I would at least like to see a pineapple. Their fried tofu is very good. But as another Yelper stated the pad Thai is a joke. Do not order! It was one blob of noodles and no other ingredients. It went in the trash sadly :( I will change my review if those two things improve. The owners are very nice!! So I'd like to come back! read more

Ordered online and got chicken chow mein, chicken pad Thai, Mongolian pork, and chicken dumplings. First off. The dumplings were so overdone they literally made our gums bleed. Then the chicken chow mein had no chicken! When I called about it the lady who answered at 7:17 pm on 6/24 just said "no chicken, okay!" Then hung up on me. Ridiculous. read more

Service was good. We ordered take-out and the server was very helpful. The food was not good. It was bland and had none of the flavor that makes us love Thai food. My family was disappointed. We wished we would have eaten something else while visiting Yucca Valley. read more
