“ My first time here and I can say they have elegant table setting, the place is neat including their restroom. I love the food that we ordered and the portion size is a lot. We are only 2 but its already good for 4. We dont have to get their attention to refill our drinks because they will just ask you right away. Staff are very attentive to their customer. Including the cook and servers theyre like 5 or 6 but all of them are very energetic and the vibes are so positive. ”
“ I love this place. Pad Thai is great. Authentic. I love when you can choose your level of spicy. ”
“ Ok now, Im still going to give this locally owned business 5 stars because the food is amazing but tonight I feel like I got half the portion I usually do. I also forgot to say no tin foil because it messes with my teeth so thats why its in a separate container. Its typically loaded with chicken and veggies and feeds me at least 3 times. I ordered an extra side of rice because I usually have so many leftovers. I called and told them but the guy assured me that it wasnt half portion. I asked for an extra cookie as well, which I received but wouldnt have gotten a fortune cookie at all if I didnt ask. Like I stated from the beginning, Im not trying to ruin this place and I really do love the food but extremely disappointed with this order. ”
“ The food is amazing. Their heat is definitely Thai hot, so be careful. ”
“ I decided to take my hubby for a late lunch. We were cheerfully greeted by a smiling young man, who led us to our table and took our drink order water after handing us menues. I asked of him his favorite dish, and he rhapsodized about an Eggplant Dish which I ultimately ordered, Thai Hot. Soon, the server arrived and took our orders. He is the owners son. Hubby had the Red Curry Mixed Seafood, which he loved. I loved what I had, and it was hot enough for me. Everything was wonderful!!! ”
“ What can I say the food was fabulous. They have a nice Vietnamese coffee that is to die for..... Everything was fresh delicious . Our server was attentive and delightful. ”
“ This food here is so amazing. For starters, they have I believe 6 different levels of heat, so you can pick whats right for you instead of burning your tongue off, or having no heat at all. The service is spectacular, and was really helpful. The Pad Thai Drama is my definite goto. And you absolutely have to top it off with the deep fried bananas for dessert. I ate every bite of food on my plates, including appetizers and desserts. The salad, and the cucumber salsa with the appetizer were both out of this world. The price is reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity of your food. The wait time is bearable, as well. One of the few places in Chico that I have nothing negative I can possibly say about it. ”
“ I have tried a lot of Thai places in California and this is the BEST I have ever had hands down! Got the yellow curry with tofu and mild spice. The curry sauce will knock your socks off. So complex and fresh and complements the wealth of vegetables you get potato, cauliflower, carrot, zucchini, green bean, onion, bell pepper, Thai basil. The egg rolls are massive and a perfect appetizer. Its cute and cozy inside and very fast for a drop in to go order. The staff is lovely. I cant wait to go back here and try everything. Please support this spot, you will not regret it! ”
