Had a great meal here Friday while in Visalia. I was craving Thai/Lao food and found this little…read moregem right next door to one of my favorite Asian markets. Stopped in and had the basil chicken which was very good. Two things to know about this place before coming is they only accept cash, no credit cards and it is very small like 6-7 tables, but the food is very good. Come give them a try!

So, when I went, there was no restaurant to speak of that I can comment on, it was just a walk up,…read moreorder, and wait outside for our food. We knocked on the door, and a girl took our order. Then we stood outside til our food was ready. That being said, the food was great. I got the Pad Thai, and my son got some other noodle dish. Both were delicious. Not sure if they're gonna open up the restaurant, hopefully they do. Looks like a little hole in the wall spot, but eating food hot and fresh is always gonna be preferable to taking it home and having it warm or having to heat it up. Honestly, the food itself I would say was worth four stars, I just knock it down one due to the circumstances of the restaurant being closed. There was no restaurant or service really for me to comment on.

Food: 5 The tonkotsu spicy and shoyu spicy ramens were delicious. Both came with a whole egg cut into two halves and two decent size chashu meat, along with your typical ramen veges. The noodle was cooked well and the portion was good. We also ordered the Hokkaido (baked) sushi roll which was very tasty, but I have to admit all the good looking ones with the best names are on the raw sushi side. Overall very satisfied with the food. Service: 5 The gentleman has great etiquette and service and assistes with recommendations as we were first timers here. He is a large part of the experience being amazing and quiet honestly an example of the standard for quality service. Overall a great experience and we woulddl definitely return. As somewhat of an anime fan I quite enjoyed seeing the names of some of the items on the menu and it really did entice me to order some of the raw sushi... if only I could fit it all in my stomach. Next time it is.

I did have to wait a bit for a table, but it was the lunch rush, so that was understandable. I had high expectations for the food, and they did not disappoint. The fresh spring rolls were crisp and delicious, and the peanut sauce was perfectly spicy and flavorful. The Pad Thai came in a generous portion and was cooked beautifully, with great texture and depth of flavor. The Thai iced tea is also worth mentioning--it was excellent. If I had to note one small thing, my server wasn't very chatty, but since I was dining alone, he may have been giving me space, which I didn't mind. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch or dinner with family or friends. I'll definitely be back

Our friend on the road trip remembered this spot when he used to live there years ago, before the owner change. It is definitely a hole-in-the-wall. Very small. Bars on the window let you know that you are about to get a tasty experience. Service is really friendly, quick and efficient. It looks like a 2 person operation. Husband and wife? I believe they also bought the restaurant from their family which is nice. I went with the spicy chicken, my wife got the pad thai and our friends opted for the beef. Everything came out fast but very hot. Tasty food! Great flavor, tender chicken. I wish it was a tad spicier but overall great!

Usually popcorn shrimp, inari, house salad (dressing is bomb) and some others in the mix. Weird to see low reviews about wait times..

I think the ambience here is also the best in Visalia-- a very cool vibe and aesthetic. Staff are always nice and overall it's one of our favorite spots.
