Your Choice Restaurant

Been here many times and always is a great experience! Can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, and the Thai tea Oreo ice cream is a MUST! Get a pint, so delicious! We visited again last Sunday and had a wonderful dinner, but I accidentally left my purse there. Called today and was able to retrieve it! So very thankful!!!! Please if you’re looking for a yummy Thai place, here it is!

The quality of the food was amazing - definitely the reason why I’m giving 5 stars. However, it is not my favorite Thai place. There’s nothing worse than to walk out of a restaurant while still being hungry after spending more than $50. The portions are smaller compared to other Thai restaurants I’ve been to. Please note that a small bowl of rice for the curry bowls cost $3 extra. The service was exceptional.

💖💖💖 BEST RESTAURANT IN SB!!!! I’ve been coming here for years (sometimes more than once a week) and there are SO many qualities that earn this place its well-deserved title: 1️⃣. INSANE FOOD - Like I said, I’m a frequent flyer. I’ve tried a lot of their dishes and among my favorites are the yellow coconut curry, wonton soup, drunken noodles, and tom kha. Their Wednesday specials are always so unique and hard to resist. One thing I especially appreciate is the care with which takeout is packaged. I’ve gotten many takeaway soups and NEVER ONCE had a leak or a spill. 2️⃣. INCREDIBLE PEOPLE - Piti, Pui, Ahmed, and the rest of the crew are some of the best folks ever. They’re kind, caring, and honestly just such cool people. They truly are the heart and soul of this place, and we look forward to seeing them as much as the food we so love. 3️⃣. ICE CREAM PARTY (need I say more?) - Creaminal is HANDS DOWN the best ice cream in SB. I said it. It’s true. The incredibly unique flavors are available all week long, but I especially love No Sad Sundaes every Saturday night. It’s a vital part of my weekend routine. Your Choice is such a special place. It holds so many of my favorites meals and memories, and will continue to do so for years to come! 💞

Love this place and just tried for the first time since I have a new office close by. Had a roommate that grew up in Thailand so I'm highly critical of Thai food, and this place does it just right. Upper State street, and they are delicious, reasonably priced, with friendly people that work here. Not a romantic place to eat whatsoever, but your bellies will be filled with love and goodness from the food. Will be coming back regularly. Thank you guys!

F-L-A-V-O-R-F-U-L food! Everything here is amazing, the ambience (under a solarium), the staff (sweethearts🥰) and the food with amazing portion size!! We had several dietary restrictions and the staff was super accommodating. My recommendations are to try the grilled shrimp skewers, vegetable spring rolls (the sauce is amazing) & Thai iced tea with lime! 😃

Ironic that this place is called your choice because when I want to try a sample of ice cream before paying $13 for a whole thing of it, the guy at the front has an attitude and is rude to me. Is it *really* my choice? Doesn't seem like it. The curry here is amazing. Most of the staff has been nice, but there is one young skinny guy with glasses who has been rude to me EVERY time without fail. For those who don't know: This spot doubles as a thai restaurant and ice cream shop. Both parts of it are delicious. The first time I came in I had wanted to try the thai tea oreo ice cream but they were out, I was told to come back the next week. I got butter pecan instead and it was delicious. The next time I came in, I went up and to the counter and this guy was there... No greeting, just looks at me. I asked if I could try Kathy's Dream and the thai tea oreo ice cream. There was nobody else in the front and the resaturant had almost no customers that day - and he looks at me with hesitation and sort of scoffs and goes "Uh... I'm in the middle of scooping ice cream into pints, I'm doing Kathy's Dream right now so I guess I could let you try that one but I'm not getting the thai tea out for you to try. Sorry" Mind you... the thai tea ice cream was in the freezer right below where he was standing, he was just lazy. I explained I had wanted to try that ice cream since the previous week and he goes "Yea... sorry" then goes back to scooping pints. Fast forward - ANOTHER week passes and we come in to pick up some curry for take out. There is a huge line of people and not once does he say to anyone "Hey, if you're eating in you can go sit where you'd like" instead he wait for each person to get to the front and tells them that after they have been standing for ages. 3/4 of the parties in front of me were just standing in line because they thought they needed to be seated to get a table, but there was no communication from the staff. I finally get up to the counter, my food's ready, and in my head I'm like "YES.... I can finally try this ice cream I have been wanting to try for weeks now!" then I ask if I can try it and... Ah, guess who is there? The same guy from last time, who looks at me and goes "Uh, sorry - I can't get you a sample there are people behind you waiting." I'm sorry but what? Why are you working at an ice cream shop that charges $13 for a pint if you are going to get mad at people for wanting to try the ice cream before buying it. I also would totally understand turning down giving a sample when there is a line if I didn't already know that this guy was just lazy and hadn't already had a nasty attitude to me the first time I spoke to him. I also couldn't help but laugh at him saying there is a line when I knew that most of those people just needed to simply be told "you can go pick a seat!" It's crazy to me because I have worked in food service so many years and I don't know how somebody can get a job that calls for being a kind and hospitable person when there are so many other fields you can go into if that's something that is hard for you. I'm kind to people wherever I go and I genuinely just can't wrap my mind around how this guy got that job. Oh and the cherry on top, when my friend had gone up to the counter to ask a random menu question a different day, he was rude to him too and acted like my friend was bothering him. Again, when there was almost nobody in the restaurant. I just... I'm so sad because I love this restaurant but this guy has really kind of soured my feelings towards this place. It's a shame because we just moved here and have loved all the food we have tried so far but I don't really know if it's worth making myself sad just to eat something I like. Even if it wasn't the ice cream, it would have been something else. The host at the counter is simply rude and clearly doesn't like his job - or people. If you want good service and a good experience... I (sadly) don't recommend. At all.

I’ve been coming here for many years. This place is the go-to for Thai catering as well as dine-in. As of June 2022, they are remodeling so their tables are limited, but food is still great and service fast. Spicy drunken noodles and eggplant special were delicious!

Best Thai Food in Santa Barbara! Family operated for generations. The son also operates an ice cream business inside the restaurant with exotic and delicious homemade flavors. The menu was recently updated and it is very hard to choose an entree because they are all amazing! The Tom Kha Gai soup is one of the best I've ever had.

My favorite Thai place around!!!! Best customer service and quality food all around. Fave lunch spot and with great lunch specials as well as delicious choices, it's a sure thing! I have had a variety of fave foods from here from their Panang curry and jasmine rice to pad Thai and/ or glass noodles to their chicken skewers and papaya salad! I love it all. I have dined In and they are courteous and friendly but also quick to bring food during the lunch hour. Often times I order online and pick up and have always found parking in their small lot. People are always coming and going and they keep their customers happy with their quick and organized service. The lady who works here is always sweet and recognizes my coworker and I with a friendly greeting. Highly recommend so check this place out for lunch or dinner. Good ambiance and dine in service with plenty of tables.

Good Thai food, decent amount and good flavor. I like the sunroom area when it's sunny and warm. Great spot to hang out with friends for a casual dinner.

I used to like this place because it is very close to where I live but it has gotten way more expensive than before(I guess their portion is bigger than other Thai restaurants). I ordered on their website for takeout. After you order, it doesn't let you know when you should come by to pick up it so I had to guesstimate. As I went in the pick up my order I was told I had to pay an extra $2.18 for that extra onions and carrots(I did not ask for) in the glass noodle salad because they didn't update their website when in comes to extras. The glass noodle salad that supposed to have extra cilantro tastes like carrot salad because they messed and gave me more carrots instead! I also got the spicy fried rice with beef(extra $2) but it had very little beef and more mushrooms, tasted more like mushroom fried rice. When I come here the fried chicken, the glass noodle salad and papaya salad are my usual favorites cause the flavor is always consistent. Their level 5 spice is not Thai spicy. I guess now they are charging for anything ask extra including onion and cilantro.... I may come back occasionally just because it is near by. But for now Yummy Thai is now my go to place!

I walked in at 7:00 with some friends and immediately got a strange look from the wait staff towards our group. They informed us it was too late to be seated for a meal. I've been a long time customer here but no more. These hours make no sense. To turn people away for dinner at 7:00 is senseless. Why be ipen for dinner?! The old guy that used to run the place would of gladly welcomed Customers to patronize their business. I guess your choice is "no choice" and know Your Place?!

Best Thai in town. The TomKai Tofu soup is incredible, my mouth waters any time I think of it - the broth is coconut milk and lime, with chili oil, plus mushrooms, cilantro and tofu. That said, my daughter went on a quest to try and duplicate it when she moved to Seattle...she's a pretty good cook but she could not get it just right. When she went to Thailand, theirs was also not as good. Other than that, I really love their Chicken Satay, Larb Salad, Panang Curry, Lime Fish, Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu, and so many other favorite dishes too many to list! The service is AAA+++ super excellent. It's a family run business. The current owners took over from their parents, they were often there as children doing their homework. Also the restaurant has been remodeled, I liked it better before (I miss the comfortable booths), but it is clean and well lighted. You will love it!

I absolutely love coming here! I like to stop by on occasion with my friends any time I have a Thai craving. The restaurant itself is super cute on the inside and feels really comforting. All of the staff are always incredibly kind and make the dining experience a breeze. My go-to order is always the pad see ew (with chicken) and a thai tea. This combo never fails for me and they simply make delicious food and drinks! Your Choice also sells/hosts Creaminal on Saturday nights for ice cream sundaes and sells ice cream pints on other days. The sundaes are always creative and yummy so I thought I'd mention that too! I find myself coming here for both the restaurant food and the ice cream pop-up! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to satisfy a Thai craving and for anyone looking to enjoy a fun dessert on Saturday nights!

The Rad Na noodles and wings! You can't go wrong with a single thing on their menu. The family friendly atmosphere is so inviting and the family makes me feel like their family. Also, the Creaminal ice cream is top tier!

The Tom ka gaw (incorrect spelling I'm sure) soup and pad Thai were to die for. The service and the time it took for seating was very polite and quick. The restaurant and atmosphere was perfect for a first date. Love the food and I'm definitely coming back.

The food here is delicious, especially the green papaya salad which was my personal favorite!! The thai tea was a little too sweet for my tastes and the pad thai was good considering the area. I also made a second trip to get their thai tea oreo ice cream in a pint which is SO yummy I highly recommend.

I don't live in Santa Barbara. When a friend who used too live in Santa Barbara heard I was going down to visit friends, he suggested that I make a trip to this restaurant. He said it's been twenty(20) plus years since he's been there, but make sure I try this place. He knew how much I love Thai food. Well this place did not disappoint. Excellent food. I ordered the seafood panang and pork belly fried rice and the tea/oreo ice cream. They said it had been made yesterday. I'll be returning to Santa Barbara and "Your Choice" again.... Nice staff, very personable.

This review is just for the Creaminal no sad sundaes dessert since I haven't eaten their food yet (but will Soon!) I'm huge on desserts and this place hits the spot every time with their changing menu and delicious option. Food wouldn't be available during this time so just come with an appetite for some delicious dessert!

I kept telling my out of town friends they had to try this Thai food. We had just hiked 9 miles and were famished. We ordered two appetizers, 3 entrees and a dessert. We finished everything, it was so delicious and satisfying. We ordered the drunken noodles, chow mein and the fried rice. A collection of yummy courses followed by the Thai Tea Oreo ice cream. It was a Saturday evening so it was pretty full of people. Staff was friendly and kind, they kept checking on us. The vibes were chill and all good. Going to keep hyping this place up because it lives up to it!

We tried Your Choice for the first time and loved it. We recommend it for anyone looking for delicious Thai food in SB. We did takeout, the portions were great, the food was fresh and hot. The service was great, they were nice and quick. We had the green curry, crab Rangoon and pad thai. We will definitely go back!

Excellent food though the Tom Kha (chicken coconut soup) could add a bit more of the sour taste to its base. The Pad Kee Mao (Drunken noodles are excellent). They have a great lunch menu and exceptional curries! The service can be a bit underwhelming at times--not all the time but heck being in the restaurant business can take its toll. The atmosphere is okay--though they should clean up the equipment not being used or out-of-service when you walk-in. It's a bit of an eyesore...though that will not keep me nor my family from returning. This place does great business for obvious reasons with a very extensive menu--so much to choose from.

We have always had great meals and service at this restaurant. The spicy fried sole was fantastic every time. The panang curry was good every time. The chicken wings were also very good.

The food is always delicious. The service is great staff always friendly. Great place to enjoy dinner on a date or with the whole family!!!!

The best Thai in SB! The Chili Tamarind chicken wings were amazing. The wings were crispy and came straight off the bone. The sauce makes it my favorite dish here because of how flavorful it is. We also got the Pad See Yew with chicken, and it came out fresh and hot. The portions here are very generous, and we had leftovers for the next day. I loved the greenhouse seating area and the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was fast and super attentive. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Truly, it's Your Choice where you'd like to get Thai cuisine from, yet the reviews speak for themselves. I have never dined in here but have done take out several times. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Food is consistently made fresh and hot. Now the reason for this review is that they produce one of my new fooddictions: Wonton Soup. Who knew?! But after a rainy coastal winter I discovered it. The broth is extremely flavorful and heartwarming. There are a couple pieces of chicken and a few shrimp to surprise you. Plus baby bok choy, onion, cilantro and carrot. Yet it's all about the wontons which are perfect little dumplings stuff to the rim with a mix of chicken and vegetables. Home of the No Sad Sundaes too, so don't leave without dessert.

Loved Your Choice! Thai food is my favorite cuisine, so it's always nice to add a Thai restaurant to my list of places to hit up again and again. The workers here are SO kind and accommodating, so polite, so skilled in cooking up the best meals. And the price is affordable, without compromising quality!! We got a lot of things, among them my favorite (yellow chicken curry), which was flavorful and delicious and hit all the right spots (make sure to get it with rice). The Tom Kha coconut soup is also among the top tiers of my favorites list, and Your Choice hit it out of the ballpark; it was creamy, tangy, flavorful, wow. Yum. Everything else was good too, including the pad see ew and the green beans. I'll be back!!

I love Thai food and am always looking for a good curry and Your Choice delivered. After finishing a whole bowl of yellow coconut curry with tofu, I wish I had room to try their house-made ice cream. I will definitely go again to try!

Highly recommend this place. Went Tuesday around 11am with party of 8. Very attentive excellent service! The food was delicious! The lunch menu was a perfect portion. Had the chicken panang, so good! Also everyone loved the malted Uber ice cream! Great place to eat and not pricey in Santa Barbara!

Love the new menu. The place improved from how remember it few years ago. Service is friendly.

The food is amazing! The Panang curry is my absolute favorite. The lunch special is my go to. Service is always quick. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat. I would like to try the dessert one day.

This was an interesting concept, No Sad Sundaes. It offered about 4 to 5 options of unique Thai desserts and limited quantities. You had to arrive early enough to stand in line and hope they don't run out of what you want. Of course, they ran out of the mango sticky rice after 30 minutes... right before us! That's what we hoped for...and we were visiting from Phx, AZ. We were able to snag a couple of vegan versions, not bad but not as good as the real deal, I know that real goodness, I'm Thai. I know, we should have gotten there earlier, but there were only a dozen people in front of us and what's the chance they ordered the same thing? 100% I guess. Pandan and vegan mango and rice were okay. Service was good, kind, and good service. Restaurant space was okay.

Food is always fresh, hot & delicious. Price is def fair! Definitely my top thai spots in SB Customer service is always warm & welcoming. Restaurant is clean & spacious. parking is good. Highly recommended!

This is the second time I give it a shot and not impressed, again. Ordered the pad thai with chicken, spice level of 3. The taste was incredibly monotonous every single bite and it was overpowered by the garlic. So much garlic. I will give this place another shot but will order something different. A shame that the pad thai isn't to my liking bc I love pad thai. I did not get notes of the sweet and tangy tamarind, nor the savory-sweet. I will say that their ice cream is delicious. I've ordered a couple different flavors and they were spot on. I liked the Vietnamese coffee ice cream a lot. I recommend if you like spicy noodles, order level 5. I ordered 3 and did not get one hint of spice.

The Tom Kha soup was creamy, flavorful, and had the perfect balance of sour and spicy. The combination of coconut milk, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal root made for a divine flavor that left me wanting more. I also tried the Drunken Noodles, and they were truly a delight. The noodles were cooked nicely, and the sauce had just the right amount of heat to make my taste buds tingle. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, and the generous helping of chicken made this dish a filling and satisfying option. Lastly, I tried the Panang Curry. The rich, creamy sauce was packed with the flavors of aromatic Thai spices and red curry paste, and the tender pieces of beef were cooked to perfection. The dish had a hint of sweetness from the addition of coconut milk, which balanced out the spiciness of the curry and made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Your choice is definitely my favorite Thai restaurant in Santa Barbara. I highly recommend it if you're looking for an authentic Thai dining experience!

Came on a rainy day and it's the perfect ambiance for dinner in the rainy weather! We sat in the patio and the fairy lights made the experience so cozy! The food came out pretty fast, we got their Crab Rangoon, Pad Thai, Chilli Chicken Wings, Spicy Fried Rice, and Sticky Mango Rice as dessert! Everything was really good but the pad thai was a bit on the dry side. I want to come back again to try their other dishes! The portions are pretty decent and service was really nice! Good for if you're craving authentic Thai food :)

This place has always been our favorite Thai restaurant in town. Last night we decided to come for dinner just before the Creaminal starts at 8pm. We were there for the TARO S'MORES SUNDAE. The taro ice cream was creamy and delicious, topped with a rich black sesame sauce and a huge marshmallow that's perfectly browned which reminded us of the crispy sugar coating on Crème brûlée. Amazing attention to every detail! Now we know why there was a long line out the door! We love their Tom Kha soup and green curry even though we now get them with tofu because my daughter has recently became a vegetarian. I missed the chicken flavor somewhat but both were fantastic with different types of tofu ! Very friendly service from every staff and because my daughter is a good friend with a lady working there, we got to stay a little later and experience some behind the scenes action /night mode with disco lights, dancing and lots of Asian vibe. Feeling a bit like home (Taiwan!) Cool people to be around ! Now we just need to add karaoke LOL :)

Let's make this simple. I tried the Thai tea Oreo ice cream based off a recommendation The first several spoonfuls I was like "whoa" After I ate more of it it didn't really scream out at me. So this is what I have to say It's good as a taste or As something I tried. Not really my thing I think the banana Oreo would have more appeal So next time that's what I will order. Does this make it a bad choice no They did a good job getting the tea flavor to work together with Oreo. It just so happens I'm not an ice tea kind of guy. So yea, banana Oreo up next

Best Thai food in town The only place I get Thai food in town anymore. Their yellow curry is absolutely amazing I have to get it every time Also their drunken noodles with beef

I have passed by this restaurant many times but never actually eaten here. I'll admit that I came here after hearing about No Sad Sundaes from a friend. I still haven't tried their Thai food, but I did come for the ice cream (Creaminal). They post their ice cream sundae flavors on their Instagram a couple days before, and they sell them at 8 pm on Saturday night. I heard it was popular so I got here early- around 7:45 pm, and we still waited in a long line. I got the taro s'mores flavor, and it was really good. They switch up their flavors often, so I will have to come back to try others!

F-L-A-V-O-R-F-U-L food! Everything here is amazing, the ambience (under a solarium), the staff (sweethearts) and the food with amazing portion size!! We had several dietary restrictions and the staff was super accommodating. My recommendations are to try the grilled shrimp skewers, vegetable spring rolls (the sauce is amazing) & Thai iced tea with lime!

Everytime I eat here hands down best Thai food I've ever had! & I've tried multiple places in different cities. Come in here if you want a family vibe & some amazing Thai food! The Panang is my absolute favorite. Not to mention the Crab wontons . Just tried the drunken noodles today for the first time and that's amazing too!! Don't miss out on this spot. They have a good lunch special to.

This has to be hands down (including my feet !) the BEST Thai food I have had in Santa Barbara county. I got pad see eww and chicken larb this time around. But they never disappoint! I came in the past here and thought maybe it's changed. But no, it's even better !! Everything is so flavorful. Definitely a hole in the wall place. Not crowded even when busy ! Parking is kinda minimal. But there's side parking as well. Be ready to enjoy delicious Thai cuisine when you try this place !!!

IF YOU WANT that comfortable coziness you find in a local Thai restaurant that's been in business since the dawn of time,, that faded, warm, family essence. It's not here. The atmosphere? Doesn't exist. Sterile walls.. cold.. There should be more life in a room full of food and people. The service was superb. The food was good I got the papaya salad.. the one at empty bowl is better in price and taste.

Literally some of the best sundaes I have ever had. No sad sundaes is a staple and they post the flavors they'll have on their instagram @eatcreaminal. The only issues were that we got there at 8pm and waited in line for an hour and also there were no tables to eat at. The sundaes were 10/10 though

Great place for Thai Food and ice cream (if you come on Saturdays!) I love that the menu is small and not overwhelming so you know that the dishes they make will be good! If you want the window seating, you should definitely put in a reservation a day ahead of time to get a good view. The No Sad Sundaes weekly event on Saturday is also a good way to end your dinner as well. The flavors are all fun and unique.

I have lived in Santa Barbara for the last 17 years and somehow I have never tried Your Choice until recently. I have settled for mediocrity until now! Little did I know, I had been missing out on the best thai food in town. Your Choice makes *the* most perfectly balanced tom kha soup, with no large ginger chunks or lemon grass stalks to push to the side of your bowl (finally!). The pad thai noodles are prepared with equal care, with a well-balanced sauce and fresh, crisp veggies. Your Choice's appreciation for the small details in their food shines through with every meal I order, and I have no doubt I will be routinely returning for years to come.

Delicious food, excellent service, sweet and relaxed ambiance. Best Thai food I've had in awhile.

Visiting Santa Barbara for a few days and was lucky to find this delicious Thai spot down the street from our hotel. Outdoor dining is available in the parking lot, which we had to ourselves. We witnessed loads of cars driving in and out for their to go orders, which was a good sign. The tom yum had a bit of unexpected sweetness to it. Used to more of a spicy kick in the broth. Crispy pork was good and complimented well by the dipping sauce. Panang fish was delightful. Very fresh and flavorful, but a bit pricey for the portion. Pad see ew was devoured - my kids finished every morsel. If you want to try changing up the usual pad thai, sweetie noodle is a good option. Service was very friendly and attentive. There was a menu of unique ice cream flavors that was tempting but we were so stuffed.

We went there 3/6 Saturday around 7ish and were told they could seat us in 20 mins since we had a large party with kids. Then a few minutes later were told it was going to be longer. Few of our friends left so we went back and asked for wait time for table of four but were told they couldn't seat us that night. Not sure if it was because of the kids or what but we were kinda baffled by the multiple confusing responses. We passed by the place a little later and saw few more people waiting. Food is good here and we have been loyal customers but do not feel welcome here anymore and will not be going.

Delicious vegan options and super flavorful! My favorite takeout option and friendly service

Unassuming, but with absolutely fabulous Thai food and family owned! The interior is crisp and casual contemporary bistro, with concrete flooring and light wood chairs and tables. The menu is simple and well rounded, with a number of classics and specialties. This time around, we had hot-sour chicken soup, pork drunken noodles, pad Thai noodles and a Penang curry dish. The soup was hot, flavorful and loaded with goodies. Pad Thai was delicious, as was the drunken noodles. Great texture, lots of meat and a perfect (for us), medium spice level. Curry was out of this world as well. Everything is extremely flavorful compared to other venues around town. Service is very casual, but gets the job done. It was quite busy on the weekday we ate at Your Choice and it's very popular for take out. Highly recommended!

If you're craving Thai food and like lunch specials, then you should come check this place out. They have a wide selection of lunch specials that includes soup or salad, entree, and a vegetable egg roll. The lunch specials go from $9.50-$11.50 depending on which type of meat you get with your entree. The service is quick. Lots of tables and booths. The food is flavorful and delicious. Tastes home made. Their spicy Thai basal eggplant and green curry dishes are really good. They also have a dessert menu which looks pretty good. I haven't tried any yet but hope to try it one day. They had a Thai tea tres leches dessert that sounds quite good. Another plus is free parking with a tiny lot in the backside of the restaurant.

I've tried a lot of Thai food places around the area and don't get me wrong, this place is the best out of all the others in terms of quality of food. But that doesn't mean that it's good still. Honestly, the pad thai was not great for me and I've refrained from eating Thai food in Santa Barbara since. It's also lowkey pricey for what the portions are like - but granted, this is Santa Barbara. I'm always down to go out and shell out money for good thai food, but both my friend and I agreed that it wasn't up to our standards. The Pad Thai wasn't as sweet & sour as I liked it to be and despite this place being recommended by a lot of fellow friends and acquaintances, it was not worth it for me. Regardless, I'd still say to give it a try. Everyone's taste buds are different and depending on what you order, it might be for you! The service is fantastic and the servers are kind and attentive! The inside is also really clean and there's a calm ambiance to it. It's not a hectic or loud restaurant at all and it'd be perfect for a date or some fun brunches/dinners with friends and/or family. The service and ambiance is mainly the reason why I gave it a four star! If you do go, I really do hope you enjoy it!

Ordered my classic pad thai today and it was very elegantly presented, to my surprise! The pad thai hit all flavors in terms of taste, with the savory and sweetness, though it is missing a hint of acid. The noodles I felt were slightly overcooked and dry, but the important part was that the dryness did not contribute to blandness. Overall, the pad thai and service was really good. I am just a little concerned that there were ants on our table...

I've been here a few times and am trying to get through the menu but this time I got the pad thai and carried it out. I also got thai oreo ice cream and came home to eat. When I arrived home though, the ice cream was missing despite the worker saying it was in there when I asked at the restaurant. My mistake for not checking myself...When I called back and asked to just get a refund, they offered to deliver the ice cream to my house so I said yes. They ended up coming at least two hours later since they said they didn't have a driver. The pad thai was decent (maybe lacking a little seasoning) but not bad. I got it with chicken and shrimp and I appreciated how they didn't charge extra for shrimp. I've previously had the curries which I much prefer to their noodles since they generally have more flavor (but can be a bit spicy) Thai Oreo Ice Cream is a MUST if you dine here. The sweetness level is perfect and they make it in house I believe. The oreo chunks are a great addition and if you love thai tea, you will devour all of this.
