The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because some days the Pad Thai is amazing and others the tofu is old and hard. Worth the gamble though.

But once we got in, felt super homey and had nice service. Ordered the pad Thai and although it wasn't the best I've had, super solid pricing and decent for an area with not much Asian food around.

It was my first time in Merced and visiting my friend. I wanted to try it because she has mentioned…read moreit many times. Very convenient for both of us since it was down the street from my hotel room. This restaurant is huge, like a banquet hall. Everyone was spread out so it was nice to gossip and eat without anyone listening in, haha! Food came out pretty quickly. It was super fresh and hot. We ordered the sticky rice, fresh spring rolls, chow mein, and orange chicken. All of it was delicious. Orange chicken was hot and crispy. Chow mein had a lot of vegetables and a great flavor. Spring rolls were big with juicy pieces of shrimp. Next time I'm back in town, I definitely want to come back!

When she unlocked the door I asked if they did open at 10:30? Her disgruntled response was not welcoming, not accountable, nor friendly. They could stand to do a deep clean in the restuarant, windows, doors etc.. It's too bad because this could be a 5 star with a little cleaning and gracious attitude adjustment.

The food here has to be the best Thai food I've ever had. Really. They are consistent and each dish…read moreis bursting with flavor. My wife thinks it's because they grow their own vegetables and pick them fresh and ripe. We saw their garden in the back so I think she's right. I recommend the Tom Kha, it's like a creamy sweet and sour soup. Very good and tasty. I also recommend the red curry, it comes with your choice of meat. I got the shrimp today and it was really good. The flavors are very well balanced. I love the sticky rice here too. I'm not supposed to have it, but I indulge when I'm here. The server was a sweet ole lady who was attentive and nice.

Both the coffee and the banana complement one another! Will definitely be coming in to try other drink combinations in the future. I also tried the combo pad thai and it was good! One thing I did notice is that the pad thai here has a generous portion of protein. I don't think I had a single bite that didn't have a piece of protein in it! Unfortunately I forgot to snap a picture of my pad thai.

We got vegan pad kee mow and vegan pad khing tofu…read more The vegan pad khing tofu comes with tofu, mushroom, ginger, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. I really liked this dish. We got steamed rice to pair. Next I tried the vegan pad kee mow and especially after the previous dish, the spice level on this really hit! I would say it's definitely on the spicier of spicy side. My partner eventually got hit halfway through the dish where the spice really started accumulating. Both were very delicious though! We came in on 4th of July for lunch and it was very busy. There was just one server so there was a bit of a longer wait for us to order after we were seated, but I could see how busy she was, seating people, checking out their bills, answering the phone, serving dishes, and handling takeout orders. Eventually towards the second half of our meal, a second server arrived. Empty tables got cleared much faster. We were just passing through Merced so very glad to have found this Thai spot with yummy vegan options as opposed to resorting to some unhealthy fast food. I recommend!

I'd say this place is like a hole in the wall. It's small inside and super glad they installed an AC unit. Before, they had a portable AC which did not keep cool inside. Service can be a hit or miss depending on who is working that day. We've had wonderful servers who checked up on us regularly making sure our water was filled as well as making sure our needs were met. This is the place I would always recommend to my friends and family.

Let me tell you-from the second you walk in being warmly greeted to the second you walk out with warm "thank you for coming in, hope to see you again soon" , it's amazing! The ambiance and decor is warm and bright. It's tropical feel with the mix of burnt salmon orange and cool pops of aqua are inviting. It's clean and modern. It's cozy and feels home like. The place was updated with new tables and chairs, nice navy blue table cloths, chairs and bench seating, a new check out counter was all tastefully done, the dishes are clean white "china" with gold trim. The glasses are like a dainty goblet and you feel like you are in an expensive, ritzy place. You can sit anywhere you'd like. You are greeted and conversed with, taking your drink order. The drinks are brought to you with a smile and you tell her what you'd like to eat. If there is something you aren't sure of they are excited to explain. The presentation is absolutely amazing! We eat with our eyes first and let me say that my eyes were very excited and happy! We were used to the cuisine we had before and so we didn't know what to expect. Our dishes didn't disappoint! I had my usual, Panang Curry with chicken and added mixed vegetables and sticky rice. My husband had BBQ Beef. My sons had the combination pho and chicken satay. From the first bite to the last it didn't disappoint. The Panang was gorgeous and flavorful! The veggies were perfect and I ate until I couldn't eat anymore! The BBQ Beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. My son loved the pho, it looked and smelled amazing and tasted so good! My younger son didn't waste any time with the chicken satay. It was tender and flavorful. We will definitely be back. It is STILL our favorite Thai restaurant. It's a gem in Merced.
