    Good food, but excruciatingly slow service. There was only one lady working in the front, and she kept disappearing in the back. It took ~15 min from being seated for someone to take our orders. Then another 15 min (30 since arriving) to be served water. Food came shortly after the water. While eating, a drunk or crazy guy came into the restaurant wanting to order alcohol, and kept loudly pacing around the restaurant while talking to himself and blasting music from his phone. While this was going on, the one worker was mostly in the back, and I felt extremely uncomfortable with this guy here unattended. It also took 20 minutes for him to be served a single bottle of beer. Then we had to wait 10-15 min to get the bill after asking. When the worker came back, she saw I had an amex and said visa or Mastercard only. Although I immediately took a different card out, she already walked away again and we had to wait another 10 minutes for her to take the payment. I honestly wish I just walked out before ordering.

    Excellent food, beautifully prepared! First off, this place is fairly new. It used to be a Thai restaurant before. Now it is once again, but with new owners and beautiful decor. My daughter and I shared an order of pad Thai and a cucumber salad, while my granddaughter had tom kha. Her soup was really delicious with lots of chicken and veggies. Our pad Thai came out, and upon tasting it I detected a pretty pronounced fish flavor. So as a vegetarian, I asked if fish sauce had been added. Our server, who I believe was the owner, quickly asked the cook and found out it did. They immediately made another serving without the sauce and it was wonderful. So service was great and food excellent. I would definitely recommend this lovely Thai restaurant if you're in Richmond.

    We went Sunday for the first time. The place is clean and the food is good. The flavors are not intense. Nothing was spicy. We had papaya salad, green chicken curry and rice. It's family style and portions are bigger than at other places. Service could be better. There aren't too many employees in the dining area. They disappear into the kitchen.

    Best summary: exceptional food marred by nonexistent service. We were seated around 6:50 and were provided menus. We were not seen again until 7:04 for our orders. Water and drink order did not come until 7:18. The glaring issue was that they only had 1 person managing the tables. They'd disappear to the back every time we tried to get their attention. The lack of service really soured the whole experience.

    The food and service was excellent. Loved the ambience and the music too. The dessert to die for :) mango sticky rice :)

    Business card that I won't need.

    We walked in and waited about five minutes with no one in sight to seat us, even though we could hear staff talking and laughing in the kitchen behind the curtain. Someone eventually came out and told us to sit in the corner. My wife had to ask for menus, and then we waited another ten minutes without any service. There were two other tables already seated, and we noticed the server only started taking their orders after we had been there for about 15 minutes with no attention at all. At that point, we decided to leave and went to Thai Spice instead.

    Vegetarian green curry with Thai iced tea (left), and vegetarian pumpkin curry with Thai iced coffee (right).

    Came in on 05/08/26 for dinner. Ordered green curry and pumpkin curry (both vegetarian), Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee (waitress kindly substituted coconut milk for the dairy cream even though she was unfamiliar), and fried banana with regular vanilla ice cream and honey dipping sauce for dessert (took it to go). Service was very slow with only one waitress who seemed to be juggling tasks in the back and would disappear for a long time, but all of the food was delicious and portions were generous. Overall worth it.

    Pad Thai and green curry

    My husband and I had lunch here the weekend of December 20th. It was good. We'll be back. I had Pad Thai with chicken. It was prepared well but lacked fresh bean sprouts or shredded carrots and there wasn't any tofu included which I thought was odd. The pad Thai I typically get at other places usually includes all those ingredients. Anyway it was a generous portion and the tamarind sauce was delicious. My husband ordered the green curry with white rice. It came with Thai iced tea. I had a taste and it was very good. The vegetables were fresh and al dente and the chicken was tender. It too was a generous portion. The food was good, the service was friendly. The prices were typical of the neighborhood. I deducted a star for lack of caffeine free beverages. I had a choice of lemonade or water. No herbal tea.

    Angel Wings, Tom Kha coconut soup, Won Ton Soup Dinner, Pad Kee Mao Thai ice tea with cream and fresh young coconut

    Food is very flavorful. Service was kind and friendly. Portions are well served. Place was very clean and comfortable. Highly recomend

My sister was visiting from LA, and we decided to stop by and try the Spicy Beef Pad Kee Mao. We both agreed that it was honestly one of the best Pad Kee Mao dishes either of us has had. The beef was flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the spice level gave it a great kick without taking away from the flavor of the dish. Everything came together really well. It's always a good sign when you're still talking about a meal after you've finished eating, and this was definitely one of those times. My sister has plenty of food options down in LA, so for both of us to walk away equally impressed says a lot. It's also great seeing a longtime local restaurant refresh and rebrand while still putting out quality food. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the Thai and Lao dishes on the menu. Easy 5/5. If you're a Pad Kee Mao fan, the Spicy Beef Pad Kee Mao is absolutely worth trying!

We arrived on a weekday and were among the few customers. There was a steady flow of folks getting takeout. The ambiance inside is dim, relaxed, with decor and art from the area. There's a decent amount of seating all around, for both pairs and groups. The service was kind and efficient; we were checked on occasionally. So the reason we came was for our love of noodles and other dishes. We got Nam Kao Tod and Pad See Ew. I found the Nam Kao good but wish there was a bit more protein. I've had it before and will say I've enjoyed it more at other locations. The Chicken Pad See Ew was fine, but the noodles were a bit mushier and cut short. The other ingredients were okay. I don't know if I'd order that again. Pakaoma Thai Lao Diner is a decent option if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's great that they have both Thai and Lao flavors and dishes. Find them in the shopping complex off San Pablo Ave. with street parking.

Food. You can really taste the love, effort. Aunties and uncles in the back definitely throwing it down. You know the Thai food is good when the spice level is the actual spice level (some places say medium when there's no spice at all, lol). The khao soi alone is worth the trip. We'd also recommend (quite literally anything else). We also loved the Thai Arnold Palmer. Service feels like home. Respectful, friendly, kind and prompt. Ambience is busy during lunch! As they should be. Though, very attentive. Had us reminiscing about our time in Thailand - and felt the same kind of love, same notes of flavor of food.

    First, the positives: the staff were inviting, pleasant, and attentive, and the restaurant itself…read morewas comfortable and nicely decorated. Their friendliness is the main reason I'm giving two stars instead of one. Unfortunately, the food was a completely different experience for me. Everything I ordered was overwhelmingly oily. I don't mean slightly greasy--I mean so saturated with oil that it overpowered virtually everything else. At one point, I felt like I might as well have bought a bottle of (spicy) red hot chili oil and tried drinking it through a straw. I ordered a mild curry, but after only a few bites, my mouth was on fire from the unexpected chili oil. More importantly, I couldn't taste the complexity or balance of Thai spices I was expecting. The curry sauce seemed to be watery without any thickness yet somehow excessively oily at the same time. The vegetables were also severely overcooked. Instead of having any texture, they were extremely soft and mushy. Between the mushy vegetables, excessive oil, and lack of discernible flavor, I simply couldn't continue eating. I genuinely dislike leaving a review this negative because the staff were very nice, and I had high hopes based on the reviews. However, I spent far too much money on a meal that I ultimately couldn't eat and ended up throwing away while still hungry. I was specifically trying to find a good Thai restaurant closer to home rather than spending time on a long BART ride into San Francisco for some of the Thai restaurants I've enjoyed around the Inner Sunset area. Unfortunately, this didn't come close to what I was hoping for.

We ordered chicken satay to start (comes with a nice helping of peanut sauce and cucumber salad), a pad Thai for the table with tofu, and a few lunch plates including the yellow curry, pad krapow, and spicy eggplant. Everything was packed full of flavor, and they bring a spice/sauce tray out to the table if you need to bring your dish up a notch. The lunch special comes also with a 2-piece appetizer like potstickers, egg rolls, and curry puffs which I thought was a nice touch. Plenty of shopping center adjacent (and free) parking, and wallet friendly. They serve Thai/Laos beer, wine, and a nice dessert menu.
