    Pad See Ew with Beef
    Kiara S.

    Second time trying this place and I approve. You can order at a kiosk or at the register and service is always prompt. However, the layout is a bit tight and right on the corner of the street so seating fills up quickly. Drinks are self serve so just grab what you'd like. I had the beef pad see ew today and it was really good! The veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. The beef was seasoned well and tender and the chewiness of those fat rice noodles were such an addicting bite. I tried the chicken panang last time and it is a bit sweet for my taste, but still good. I definitely want to come by to try more of the menu. Their portions are more than enough and I'd say it's worth trying out. There is normally never a wait and my food arrives quickly which makes Thai Noodle Express a great stop for lunch!

    Their noodle and curry dishes are 10/10! Cute little outdoor seating area and quick service and online ordering and pay for easy pick up

    Yellow Curry.

    We stopped in for lunch on the way back from Lake Tahoe. We were very impressed with their tasty curry bowls that included fresh ingredients with plenty of sauce. The dishes were served quickly. The old town setting was perfect.

    We eat in from time to time when we come in to Placerville and always have a good experience. The gyoza appetizers are always well crisped with the right amount of filling and the spring rolls are fresh and crunched to perfection. We try different meals most times and are never disappointed, it's always deliciously flavorful. The service and vibe is always friendly and welcoming and unpretentious. Slide your little self in here, shovel some tasty Thai scran in your pie-hole and enjoy life.

    Self serve ordering of you like, they also have counter ordering.

    I'm usually a 5 star kinda guy... So I think I might have set my expectations too high. But what…read morecan you expect for a random Asian restaurant in Placerville. OK, the redeeming factors here are the service and staff. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating that I wouldnt have minded the food. But service was also pretty fast.. So after hitting that Davis traffic up here, I was just ready to eat. Ambiance is a meh... Can't complain, place was clean, and organized. Restrooms were clean also and did the job. As for the food... It's great for a quick fix... If you're hungry, these dishes are massive for what it's worth. I wanted to try the seafood rice roll and it was an interesting take. I was confused but amused by this attempt. A lot of shrimp... But I read in the reviews some had scallops as well?? Not mine. My issue is we also ordered the noodles and it all tasted the same. Maybe that might away my review up a star or few. But by the time I got through leftovers, it was a lot of the same thing... Keeping this review for now...but I'm always open for second chances.

    Yay! Our new favorite lunch place on Main Street!…read more We just stopped by last weekend, we've been wanting to try this place out but it just hadn't happened.... Last Monday we decided to have lunch there, one of our regular places is closed Mondays and this place was open so we checked it out...and we're SO SO glad we did! Atmosphere was nice and server was very friendly from the moment we walked in. First thing I noticed; $5 mimosas!! I asked if they did anything other than orange juice and yes, they had several other options so I had the cranberry version. Delicious! I went with their mac and cheese, my partner got the basic hamburger. Mac and Cheese -- definitely very bacon forward, much more than I prefer. That being said, I still liked it, it also had sour cream and green onion on top. Bacon lovers will LOOOVE this version, there is LOTS of it and every bite you can taste it. Normally I prefer my mac & cheese with no bacon or just a bit here and there, I prefer to taste more of the cheeses.....again, it still tasted good, its a good serving and I ate half and had enough to save for the next day at work. Creamy and well made, again I just prefer to taste more cheese than bacon. I wouldn't order this again but like I said, a bacon lover will LOVE this version. Now, my partner's burger was Incredible. We are PICKY with our burgers, and we both thought this one was fantastic. Big, and great ratio to the bun. He ordered it medium and asked for "a little char" and they made it perfectly. I took a bite and yeah, I'd order that for sure. The fries were great, too. Overall we were super happy with our lunch, I thought it was priced fairly as well. We will definitely be back!!

    I'll give 2* because the food (when it came) was great…read more We've been to Franny's a couple times before and had O.K. service and good food. The pitfalls of the restaurant seem to be entirely the service. Most recently we went to Franny's on Mother's Day. We had reservations and walked in, on time. We were initially sat in a nice booth in the front of the restaurant. It was my wife and I plus our 2 kids, the table size seemed appropriate. After being sat, we sat without talking to a server for 10+ minutes, not even getting waters. Eventually, when someone did come, it was a waitress/hostess telling us that there had been a mix up, and we needed to move. We weren't excited on the idea, as we were happy where we were, but we moved to the back of the restaurant. This time we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any wait staff. At this point it is 9:25 and we've been seated for 25 minutes without even water. Finally a waitress comes, and takes our drink order, and our food order as we'd definitely had ample time to look over the menu. About 9:50 the food arrives. My wife and kids' food comes and is great. My food comes and looks off, and the waitress tells me that the kitchen accidentally made me a "veggie" scramble instead of the chorizo that I had ordered, but that she'd get me some bacon and all was well. I asked what was in the veggie scramble and was told it has mushrooms, which is a hard pass for me. She told me she could have what I had actually ordered made but it would "take a long time". I said O.K. - what else was I going to do? Finally it comes, and my wife is done eating, and the kids are close, so, I asked for it to be "boxed up". The waitress rolled her eyes and set to the task. I'm not a restaurant snob - but I really expected an apology or something to be "comp'd" due to the rough experience, but nope, full bill and no apology. Regrettably, despite Franny's being a local joint and having good food, we won't be back.

I understand he was upset probably because we took a table away from his potential tips, but to treat us the way he did is inexcusable. I asked if him if the food hadn't been made if we could cancel our order. He left and appeared to speak to the kitchen staff. He came back and cleared the table next to us and did not communicate anything to us. I asked, is that a yes or no? Without looking at us he said hold on. He finished clearing the table and walked away. He came back 10 minutes later and without saying a word he placed the bill on our table and left. Luckily we had the cash to cover it and a tip. As we walked away he rushed over, likely to make sure we weren't skipping out since he had been so rude. Will we go back? Uh no. This could have been handled much differently leaving us wanting to try them again.
