This place is just great, looks like it's run by a family. We were party of 3.
We had catfish, trout, chicken, some rice and soft drinks.
Food was just very good.
all that for only $38.00
"Hey.
Psst.
You, little prick with the weird dress shoes! YOU!"
*grabs you by the collar*
"You like Pad Thai man? I know you do, you stink of it. Chang Puak has the best I've ever had. So, how about I buy you a plate to make up for how much I've been spitting in your face. Now give us a kiss."
Very friendly service here and it's probably the best Thai on the peninsula.
Yum! They would get 5 stars if they would deliver to this lazy household. When they start that back up, we'll update and give them that additional star =)
One of the few places that actually give you the spice they say they are going to. Tried a variety of dishes and thought they were all great.
What happened here?
This was my FAVORITE Thai place in the Daly City/San Bruno area but during my last visit here it wasn't up to par to what it use to be.
Flavors were all a little off and for some reason I thought the portions were smaller than it use to be. Sigh makes me sad I have to once again look for another place outside SF.
This has to be the best Thai food I have ever eaten wow. My friend and I shared the Satay chicken, Pad Thai and Pra Ram (chicken with spinach in a yummy satay sauce) The portions were perfect and very tasty. We are looking forward to coming back and trying the pineapple fried rice as the table next to us had it and it looked so yummy and smelt really good. Our server was great so friendly and helpful our meal with tip was $30
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe... WHITE ELEPHANT! - Coldplay (Viva la Vida)
I can't believe I've never knew about this place or been to it before...until I looked up directions here and realized that it's kinda hard to find or drive by lol! It's right near Brentwood Bowl and its in the corner of a small line of restaurants. Man if I lived really close to this place, (plenty of people do because this restaurant is surrounded next to a bunch of houses) I'd order takeout from here all the time to try their extensive menu.
The restaurant itself is pretty small, but I think it has the perfect amount of restaurant space given its amount of customers at any given time. It seems like its always packed but not to the point of having to wait. It's as if when someone leaves, the table gets occupied by someone else. It's weird that it just works out that way, and I went on a Friday so that's crazy too. Anyways, the food is delicious man for sure. Like I said, the menu is extensive - from noodles to fried rice to curry to salads to dessert. I recommend the green curry because it's just good stuff. At the end of the meal, it was surprisingly very cheap and affordable. We probably ordered over 6-7 dishes (had to try everything) with dessert and the meal cost less than forty.
Food: 4 stars --- Service: 4.5 stars --- Atmosphere: 4 stars --- Price: 4.5 stars
I went here because I heard some coworkers talking about it. I was pretty excited about some Thai food. When I got here I was disappointed. The place was terrible. They were showing some Disney movie on the TV screens and my BBQ ribs came out very tasteless and hard. I think they just rubbed some salt and pepper on them and just burned them over some fire. No Thai sauces or spices at all! Just the sweet vinegar with chilis on the side. The pad thai was bland too. I think I have had better Thai fast food for half the price. Even though its just as unauthentic, I would rather wate my money at Thai BBQ on Gellert. At least their food is tasty! I will never go here again, even if someone pays me to.
Thailand-raised Dad approved and wonderful wouldn't-have-known- about-it-without-Yelp find. Was on the way to the city, but wanted to eat beforehand and put my faith in the yelp iPhone ap and was happy I did. 4.25 stars
Cost to worth it rating: 3.5 (~$7/dish)
Return worthiness: yes
Highlights:
- Traditional Thai decor: even though it's a cafe-type minimalistic spot, they had lovely elephants, sparkly tall headdresses, wood carvings, etc scattered around.
- Pad kee mao: not sure if they're homemade, but tasted very fresh (not gummy) and flavor was spot on. Would've liked more heat but since we didn't tell them guess we ended up with the default mild.
- Fish cakes (tod mun): fluffy and veggie crunchy the way they should be
- Eggplant with basil: large slices of eggplant soaking up the sauce paired with lots of little bunches of basil. For our protein we chose tofu which was soft and not the usual fried which was a nice change
- Service: wasn't too slow, as we went early, but they did have to process a few phone orders. Very chatty and friendly and spoke Thai.
- Small fun details: straw toppers had silly twisted pieces of paper on top and the meal ended with little lolipops
Lowlights:
- $2 for rice: think this should be included
- Only open til 9pm: sometimes Dad gets late night noodle cravings ;-)
Delightful find. Not sure I'll be in this area often, as my grandparents no longer live in S SF, but I'm storing it in my memory box if I am.
Maaan, i thought i liked this place. i have eaten here 3 times in the past 3 months and have readily adjusted to their hefty portions and year round, oh-so-sweet mangos.
but as of the last two weeks, times have changed and apparently they have decided to cut back on portion sizes (or, to be fair, i have lost my exceedingly large appetite for thai food). well at least that is what i had been contemplating before i noticed that the neighboring table's pad thai plate was twice the size of mine, our sticky rice order was missing its usual end parenthesis of mango slices, and my grandma's half plate of leftovers was returned in a box big enough to hold two grains of rice. (ummm are they saving their bigger boxes for more treasured clientele or have they simply started reusing their pineapple fried rice? hmm.) not so sure what to think.
needless to say, i will not be back anytime soon.
this place is definitely the No. 1in my mind when I think of Thai food. I've tried a lot of their dishes, and I just love them all!! I recommend their pan fried noodle and pan fried rice for the people who never try before.
Their fried noodles are always preparing after u order, so they are always very fresh and tender, and not sticky with each other.
Recommendation: Pad Thai, Pad see ew, and pad kee mao
For the fried rice, all i can say is very very tasty, and you won't feel your mouth is very oily after u eat their rice!
Recommendation: basil fried rice, green curry fried rice(suggest with beef), and crab meat rice are the best! can't go wrong with these dishes!!!
Also, if u are feeling a little bit under the weather, their noodle soup are good too, i guess they don't put a lot of msg bc i am kinda sensitive to msg.
Recommendation: beef noodle soup and roast duck noodle soup.
For people who love spicy food, this is the heaven because you can choose 10 different levels of spiciness, and believe me, it is SPICY!
don't take more than 5 unless u are extremely high tolerance for spicy food.
For people who can't eat spicy food, this is also ur heaven bc u can always choose level 0 and level 1, which are not spicy at all, so u can still have the tasty thai food but not hurting ur tongue and stomach.
I absolutely love this place. Me and my boyfriend used to go there all the time (Can't afford it now with rent).
The people are super friendly, and the food is excellent.
It can get a bit crowded sometimes, just get there a little early.
Nothing beats the Tom Kha Pak, The Pad Thai, and the Crispy Tofu.
Yum Yum :-)
Compared to all the Thai restaurants I've been to, it's really just a 3 stars, so don't go out of your way to get your Thai grubbing on at the White Elephant.
Also, keep in mind that this is a "relative" review, i.e., relative to the other places near my house, White Elephant makes me scream, "Yay! I'm a fan," because I don't really like the other Thai places near my house. Those other Thai places were so mediocre that I didn't bother Yelp'ing them, but to give context to my "relative" review, the other 2 Thai places are Thai Nakorn on San Mateo Ave in San Bruno, and Thai Original BBQ on Gellert in SSF.
Anyway, as for my dining experience at White Elephant, I was pleasantly surprised. We started with their eggrolls -- good crunchiness and not too oily even though I'm sure it was deep fried. They were stuffed with veggies and glass noodles served with their "special house sauce" which was just like the orange, sweet chili sauce you eat with lumpia, so I'm not sure what was so special about it.
Then, we had this Par Ram (sp?) with Chicken -- spinach with peanut sauce. It was good, but was a little too curry-like for me. Not a curry fan . . .
Then, Pad Kee Mao with Pork. Okay, so someone else complained about the noodles clumping, and I'll admit some of the noodles hadn't been peeled apart completely, but it wasn't so clumpy I couldn't enjoy it. Besides I know how hard it is to separate every single damn noodle. Try it, and you'll be sympathetic if some are still stuck together. Either way, the noodles were pretty damn good. Sure it was greasy, but "relative to" Original Thai BBQ, it was not that greasy. And, it was much more flavorful with spices as opposed to the over-soy sauced taste at Original Thai BBQ, or the more bland noodles at Thai Nakorn.
Ended our meal with the Roti. Eh . . . I'm not usually a fan of desserts, so it was just eh for me, plus I was stuffed from all the other food we had. White Elephant's Roti was the Roti dough grilled and covered in condensed milk and I think a sprinkle or two of sugar. Not anything spectacular, but again, I'm not a dessert fan, so maybe I just couldn't appreciate the goodness! Best Roti to me is still at Marnee Thai on Irving in San Francisco.
Service was nice, but a little slow . . . In the future, I think I'll be like the gabazillion people I saw streaming in and out for take out, while I was dining in the restaurant.
Waitstaff great! Food is ok and they charge a lot for a side of rice.
Quality of the meat and freshness of the veges is good. But dishes are dry.
I've also had noodles that have been too sticky to separate. I liked it growing up when my mom pulled out the "bad" clump of noodles for me to munch on, but I don't want them in my Pad See Yew.
Decent wine and reasonably priced at $4 a glass.
*3.5 stars
Not wanting to go the city and fuss with parking (one of my pet peeves), I relied on my handy dandy Yelp app to show me the way to a decent Thai restaurant outside of SF.
We pulled up right in front of the restaurant and chose our own seats. Actually, I almost missed it because I was looking for a sign reading "White Elephant!" I think the sign they have does say White Elephant, but in Thai ("White Elephant" is written in smaller print underneath).
We started with fried tofu served with a sweet chili sauce topped with peanuts, and that's exactly what we got (I like it when that happens). We also ordered pad thai with tofu and an eggplant dish with chicken. The pad thai came on a large serving plate with tons of tofu pieces! No jipping you of protein here! I can't remember what kind of sauce the eggplant dish came with, but it was good. The menu says to indicate the level of spiciness you desire on (any?) dish - I forgot to do so. Oh well - they have condiments on the table so you can make it as hot as you want.
So why didn't I round my rating up? The service, although friendly, was a bit slow. I'm not sure if they were waiting for us to finish our appetizer or what, but our two entrees came out after two other tables that came in after us got all of their food. And it's not like they pre-ordered their food before they came in because I heard them give their orders to the waitress. I kindly asked the waitress if our orders were coming out soon, and they brought it out within minutes. I usually try to be patient since 1) I hate to be the complaining, impatient customer, and 2) I have a fear of them adding some "additional" ingredients. However this type of situation had me a little peeved.
Another con: brown/white rice is additional $2 each serving. At least they don't charge extra for brown rice I guess, but I think $2 is a bit much. Overall the food was pretty good and I would definitely come back. It sounds like you get more bang for your buck at lunch time.
This hidden gem is at the end of a side street just off busy El Camino Real near the big See's Candy outlet. It's not a fancy place but it can get busy nevertheless. A gallon of yellow curry sauce to go please! I love this curry sauce, it is a thin sauce, tasty and a bit on the sweet side. It is so good that i can just drink it up. These were the items ordered on my last two visits...
Yellow curry over rice with beef
Pineapple fried rice with chicken
Pat see ew with chicken
The staff are friendly and attentive. And there are plenty of parking on the street.
My gal pal V came back from a year-long trip to Chile, and even months before her return, she talked about running to a Thai restaurant as soon as her plane hit the tarmac. So, I did some Yelping to find a Thai place that wouldn't disappoint her tastebuds.
After reading all the great reviews about White Elephant, I expected a lot from this place. I've eaten my share of both good and bad Thai food in my 4 years at Berkeley, but this place stills ranks lowest in my Thai food experiences.
I try to steer away from the noodle section (Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao, etc.) when I'm eating Thai because it reminds me a little too much of Chinese stir-fry noodles. Most of the menu seemed to be composed of Americanized Thai dishes, so I decided to order one of the chef's specials, thinking that those would probably be a little more authentic. As a huge fan of fried fish, I went with the catfish.
My dish was the last to arrive, which I expected since fried fish usually takes longer to cook. However, there was only about 5 tiny filets of fish, and I immediately thought to myself that there was no way this was going to fill me up. I took a few bites and it just tasted like rubbery old fish covered in sweet chili sauce. I was hungry though and didn't want to waste money on another order, so I tried to finish my dish but my stomach protested.
I went to sleep with stomach pains and woke up feeling nauseous. This place is not worth the trip, but if you do insist on going, do NOT order fish unless you're a masochist and want to spend the night on a toilet seat.
We stopped by White Elephant with some friends on the way home from SFO. Considering I was dining with three Thai people, I can vouch for this restaurant's authenticity. The place is pretty small, but clean and casual. Like how they have plasma TVs on the wall, you know just in case your dinner companions are boring you have something keep you occupied :)
The food was very good. I particularly like the pineapple chicken, the fried egg, and the pad thai was also delicious. I was bummed they don't make my favorite Thai dish, massaman curry. But everything we ordered was quite good. Good Thai iced coffee as well. Friendly Thai service too!
We order here when in the mood for Thai food. Here are my usuals: crab fried rice, thai omelet (YUM), pad thai, thai iced tea, and of the the soups...I forget which one..It's pretty good for a mom and pop shop and the staff is super friendly..
hmm... hate to be the party pooper, but this place isnt 4 stars. Well at least not for me anyways.
The restaurant is a little bit dated, but its not all that important. Its South City.. how fancy should they get right? The waitresses were really nice and helpful so that is a big plus... Onto the food...
Yellow Curry Chicken- (This dish is a must have for me when I dine at a Thai restaurant ) The curry was a little watery and the potatoes were undercooked... Could have been a little more flavorful.
I dont remember what the next dish was called, but it was chicken with a "sour soy sauce", pineapples, and cashews.... basically.. sweet and sour chicken. Very flavorful but a the chicken was a little dry.. Now that I think of it, it tasted like something from Panda Express.
BBQ Fried Ribs...?? Fried ribs? Forreal??? I had to try it! This dish took a little longer than expected to come out, but had fair warning so.. no harm no foul there..... as soon as it came out, we dug right in. A bit dry.. i think the only seasoning was salt and pepper.... this was not worth the price.
Crab Fried Rice.. ok. .this might have been the best thing on the table. Very flavorful and evenly balanced. +1
Over all.. everything was meehhhhhhh.........a little less than mediocre... I could possibly come back here again only to give it a fair shot and try other dishes.
Was visiting a friend in the area and was in the mood for some Thai food.
South San Francisco seems to be a rather seedy neighborhood and White Elephant Restaurant seemed to blend in w/ S SF, a hidden gem.
The ambiance of the restaurant is rather dated and the restaurant was using "natural A/C" at the time of our visit.
Pad Kee Mao Duck - Mild/Medium Spicy
- Plenty of pieces of duck
- Perfectly spiced, very flavorful
- Not too oily
Service was excellent from the wait staff. It was interesting to see the waitstaff try to eat their lunch, while being a waitstaff as well as baby-sitting at least 2 kids?
Hey this place is pretty good!! I would rate the food 3.5 stars, price 5 stars, service 5 stars.
We got the Basil Beef. It was really spicy but good. A little on the greasy side. It also came with egg rolls which were ok but good when dipped in the may poi sauce. how i love may poi sauce.
I also got the pad thai which was good but not the best and the chicken satay which was also good but not the best.
The waitresses there were super nice! I felt kinda bad for them cuz at the beginning of my meal I was sort of being a beez due to my family irking me a bit (you know how family gets on ur nerves sometimes) but i got over it cuz the servers were just so nice.
Overall our bill with tips and tax ended up being 50 bucks for 2 beers, 1 thai iced tea, 1 chicken curry, 1 pad thai, 1 beef spicy basil with 2 egg rolls and soup, and 1 chicken satay for 3 ppl.
Found a new Thai restaurant in our neighboring city - San Bruno. This place is definitely a hidden gem in my book... Located at the end of Hazlewood Drive in San Bruno, this small hole in the wall of a restaurant can easily be missed. Glad that my niece recommended this spot to us...
My wife and I had the Spicy Chicken Salad (Larb Gai) which was pretty tasty (not as spicy as other places that I've been). Their Fried Calamari with Sweet Chili Pepper Sauce was freshly made. We were a little dissappointed that the Beef Stew Soup with Flat Noodles did not have "beef stew" in it. Although, I must say the beef was very tender. We ended off the dinner with their Fried Banana with Coconut Ice Cream which hit the spot.
I must say, even though the beef stew was not what we expected, the entire experience won us over. You can tell they put care into the presentation of every dish and the service was very friendly.
We are definitely coming back to try out more from their menu.
This place was decent. The price is good for lunch, but the dinner menu looks a bit expensive.
The lunch menu has rice included with all the entrees for about 7-8 dollars a dish. I had the green curry with beef, while my mom had the spicy basil with chicken. I must say, the green curry looked and smelled good, but it did not have much of the curry taste I wanted. And the spicy basil was not spicy what-so-ever. I noticed all the tables but ours had the thai peppers, peanuts, and various other sauces. Even though those would not have accompanied our dishes well, it may have helped up the spice level.
As for dinner, I have not tried it yet, but the order DO NOT come with rice. Rice is paid for separately at $2 a person.
Even though I give this place only 3 stars this time, I am sure I will head back again because my mom likes it. Hopefully I will have a better experience like I have heard from the other yelpers.
Good food.. Reasonable priced.
Service is pretty good..
You know you ate like a heifer if you cannot get out of the car after driving home from dinner.
-Corn cakes: the first time I've ever tried it. It was interesting, but not the greatest thing in the world
-Papaya salad: perfection
-Green curry chicken: my FAVORITE out of everything we ordered
-Basil chicken: just the right amount of spice and served nice and hot
-Pad Thai: you can NEVER go wrong
-Catfish with spicy sauce: Although I prefer Marnie Thai's version, it's the second best place to go in my book
-Mango Sticky Rice: the only dish that was a disappointment.
The service was nice and sweet. I definitely will be back. As far as my company, I feel bad we were the loudest people in the room. I hope the old couple behind us didn't hear our conversations, especially the one about elbow sex. :(
+4.5 because I'm not a fan of their dessert here.
3.5 stars. I was feeling murderous by the time I finally ordered food. I heard I looked like I was going to bite someone's face off. I might have.
I ordered papaya salad, yellow curry with chicken, green curry fried rice with tofu and mango sticky rice for take out. I didn't like the papaya salad because the papaya tasted too raw, like it wasn't ripe enough, and the sauce wasn't acidic enough. The green curry fried rice could have used a little more curry but the yellow curry and mango sticky rice were good.
The service was nice and the portions were pretty large for the price. I'd order take out here again but skip the papaya salad.
White Elephant's pad see ew and pad kee mao are the best that I've had in the Bay Area. Their seafood noodle soup is good, too, although I think I prefer Thai Nakorn's soup base. I ordered the panang curry once and found it to be bland; coworkers were also disappointed with the panang curry (ordered on different occassians) but recommend the green curry. There aren't many options on the menu (in fact, pad kee mao is not on the printed menu, but they will make it to order), but the noodle dishes alone are worth the visit.
This is the best thai in the area. It is tiny and sort of hard to see from the street, but worth the search. Everything I have tried has been fantastic. Eggplant with basil is to die for. Service is always fast and courteous.
I have been to this little restaurant for about 2 and a half years now.So far, they have been nothing but good at what they do and really understanding about us yelp user.I had no idea how they can be so calm to some of us yelp user that have not been so nice.(It help that they avoid reading their yelp reviews altogether)I have to rewrite this review for their food and their hard work for trying to survive in this economy and a lot of lame reviews that I personally think is totally unreasonable.I mean their mango and sticky rice is yummy and how they change the decoration into a heart shape is so cute.Their pad thai noodles is awesome to me and they don't put nuts in it so I am so happy.If you are allergic to anything and they will surely skip those stuff for you. I love most of their dishes and for some it might not be totally in their standard.But we still love this little Thai place

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Their lunch plates our huge! But i love the phad thai and pineapple fried rice which they were more than happy to add duck =) Service is awesome very attentive and all smiles. There is so much more that i need to try there, but i always end up ordering the same thing cuz they make it soooooooo good.i like the dessert... the one thats like a flat pancake looking with condensed milk drizzled on top =)**** drooling... DEFINITELY WILL RETURN
This restaurant is the last unit in the row of shops along Hazelwood.
I ordered green curry with chicken. It was good and I could taste the fish sauce in it which made it taste more authentic than some restaurants.
My friend ordered the Basil Eggplant & Chicken which featured the *exact same* strips of chicken, red bell peppers, and sauteed eggplant but just in a different sauce (or rather stir fried in basil).
The place was pretty straight forward no frills and a good option for a place to grab a quick bite before being dropped off at SFO. I was pretty full or else I would have liked to try their rotee or the mango sticky rice dessert! Next time....next time....
(Thanks for the ride Amy!)
I came here for lunch with my coworkers who are regulars. We got there pretty early and were the first ones in the restaurant. Starved as we were, we immediately got to ordering. I went with the roasted duck noodle soup and a Chang beer. Nothing more refreshing than a cold crisp Chang beer on a Wednesday afternoon. Anyway, the food came out quickly and everyone's dishes looked quite appetizing. The soup had tons of rich duck flavor without being greasy or overly salty. The noodles looked and tasted fresh and weren't overcooked to the point where they fall apart and can't be picked up with chopsticks. The duck itself were nice thick meaty pieces with just enough fat and skin for flavor. Overall a very well executed dish.
Looking around the table, the pad thai, pad see ew, and yellow curry all looked very appetizing. The portions were decent, especially for the price. Half of our group ended up having enough leftovers for another meal. The service was quick and friendly, but being that several of my coworkers are regulars, that was kind of expected. Parking for lunch was easy but again, we did manage to beat the lunch crowd rush. However, even as we left there were still several spots available right out in front. I imagine I'll be coming back here again.
A rare good eats around the south san francisco area. Discovered this place thanks to yelp. My boyfriend use to live on the same street and I never noticed it before! Weird.
Anyways, this place is small and gets pretty crowded so reservations recommended!! Not only is the food good but service and ambiance is a plus as well. They even decorate their straws in a weird but cool way. I've tried mostly everything on the menu and they are ALL DEELISH. Oh and the got great deals on their lunch specials!! It comes with 2 egg rolls and soup.
Recommendations: Yellow Curry, Angel Wings, Garlic Ginger, Silver Noodles, Praram, Roti Dessert
We ordered take out from White Elephant last night and the food was great!
We had the chicken pad thai, chicken larb (salad), chicken green curry, beef pad kee mao and fresh spring rolls (which are the size of a burrito)
Everything was really tasty and super fresh. I wish we would have found this place sooner as we only live a few blocks away. Im really happy to have another great place to eat in South SF. SCORE for me!
Still love this place. Tried their duck noodle soup with silver noodles awhile back and it was yummo.
Delicious. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we loved it. Price is normal, like any… Read more »
What a disappointment. I ordered the pork wonton noodle soup and while the bowl was plenty big, the amount of noodles was pathetic. At one point I thought I had eaten 50-75% of the noodles and dug my fork in again but came up with only bean sprouts (which apparently had not been mixed in well and all sunk to the bottom). That right there was three strikes in one: not enough noodles, bean sprout to noodle ratio was too high (related to strike 1 but I'll count it as a 2nd), and the bean sprouts weren't evenly mixed with the noodles (they seemed all bundled together as if the chef had just tossed in a handful and served without mixing).
Then there was the water that was supposed to be soup. I've had wonton soup in many restaurants and some are good and some are bad, but at least all of them had some kind of flavor. I felt like I was eating plain ramen in water.
Even the wontons themselves lacked flavor and were not that good. The pork was okay, and there was plenty of it.
For dessert my friend and I shared a fried ice cream which was fine, but tasted like every other "fried ice cream" I've had elsewhere.
Even though I felt terribly let down by my meal, maybe I erred in choosing a non-Thai dish. My friend pronounced her panang curry dish merely "okay". I had considered getting the crab fried rice and might try that if I had to come back here, but wouldn't return otherwise.
White Elephant is so delicious. My favorite Thai place in the area. I recommend anything, I really like the Chicken Basil plate.
I have nothing by good things to say, however their Yelp profile is incorrect in saying they deliver.
White Elephant does not deliver! :(
Sad to report that I was pretty disappointed. The spring roll craving I was having was met with three GIANT rolls that I was not expecting. One fell apart, and all of them had arugula (the menu says "lettuce") which lent a bitter flavor I'm not really looking for in my spring rolls.
The panang curry chicken had almost no sauce on it at all, and what was there wasn't even slightly spicy. The best part was the brown rice, which was cooked perfectly.
Really good peanut sauce, though. I dipped the chicken from my panang dish in it (because it's not like that chicken had anything else on it).
This restaurant is awesome, and I mean that sincerely.
My recommendations would be the Rad Nar, Cashew Chicken and the misnamed "Beef Stew" which is really more of a tasty soup.
I haven't been disappointed, and I eat here at least once a week as it's near my workplace.
Went here for dinner tonight. We didn't wait too long, maybe about 10-15 minutes. I saw that "People on Yelp Love Us" sticker, so I wanted to see if they lived up to that! And yes, it was delicious. We ordered...Chicken Basil, Pad Thai Noodles, BBQ Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, and some steamed vegetable dish that I don't remember. The Chicken Basil was so good and really spicy! But I loved it. Pad Thai Noodles were alright, I think there are better out there though. BBQ Chicken, meh. Kinda dry. Pineapple Fried Rice, order it! Flavorful and tasty, yummy. Anyway, for dessert, we had the Fried Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream (you can get Coconut Ice Cream too). I cherished my little morsel...hah. Do not share this with 5 people. Generally it's a warm, cute place to bring one or a couple of people. Yay Thai Food!
