Not sure how many stars to give. I live in DB is a regular customer. Went over Friday night 09/15/2023. There was no light. Sign says CLOSE. They changed from close one day a week to two days a week then TOGO only now seems the business is closed permanently??

Diner Review β„–4

Excellent food and service. A little noisy, if too many customers.

Diner Review β„–5

Tuesday must be a bad day for excellent service. It was very busy and staffing was inadequate. In spite of that, the food was delicious and I would return- but not on a Tuesday.

Diner Review β„–6

Great staff and great food. We went during lunch time and noticed a sign on the door that they are understaffed and have shorter hours due to it. When we walked in, the restaurant was full and there was only one waitress and one cook. We were worried it would take forever but they were really quick. It almost felt like it took longer to place our order (about 10 minutes) than to get our food. They hustled to get everyone served and they did not seem to slack off anywhere. The waitress was taking orders, delivering plates, and cleaning tables while the cook was non-stop.

Diner Review β„–7

Unfortunately, NO more lunch specials! Hope they will bring them back.

I have visited this restaurant several times, picking up customer orders

This building was a former Pizza Hut
Not sure what year it closed
Nor when the present business opened

It was also remodeled
I would describe the look as vintage

I haven't ordered from their menu
Or returned on personal time

Ordered the spicy catfish. Absolutely fantastic dish. The fish and sauce were both perfect. I highly enjoyed my meal.

Food is great here except for one dish I didn't like the chicken satay, was hard and dry and no taste. I recommend the curry dishes and the beef salad is excellent πŸ‘Œ

Great food, good prices and very friendly and efficient staff. The owner is a local resident and should be supported. Check out the lunch menu too. I eat here once or twice a week. Everything I've tried has been very good.

Diner Review β„–30

SOOO GOOD!! i got the pineapple curry meal and thai iced tea. tea was fresh and not overly sweet. curry was rich and so full of fresh vegetables. the restaurant was very clean and comfortable. I will most definitely come back here another day 😊

Diner Review β„–31

We came into this restaurant by chance since the adjacent Chinese place was packed. The food was great and authentic. Unlike some other Thai places where is beef is dry and chewy, the beef was tender and tasty. The waitress (who happened to be half Thai and half Italian) was very friendly.

Diner Review β„–33

All the food are so delicious. Fully satisfied.
Excellent service too

Diner Review β„–35

I really wanted to like this place, as I want to support local business. However this was the worst Thai food. It was extremely salty and tasteless. I did not finish my soup or my Pad Thai because it was so salty.

Diner Review β„–36

It's okay. As Thai restaurant, it needs improvement.

Diner Review β„–37

Diner Review β„–38

Great food at decent prices

Diner Review β„–39

Today was the first time I came here with my friend and we really liked the food and service! The owner is very involved in the preparation and delivery of the food and I think that is one of the reasons why this Thai restaurant is better than most others. The yellow curry dish and the chicken noodle soup was delicious and really flavorful. We will definitely be back!

Thai food here is pretty good and the quality is there. The staff were nice but got a bit confused as to what some people ordered and food came out at different times. The crispy pork and yellow curry was terrific though and was enough for 2 meals.

Diner Review β„–43

Our first time and we will be back. Great food, ample portions and reasonable prices.
We had chicken sate, wings, pork and soft shell crab. Thai tea was great, too.

Diner Review β„–44

The Bangkok Street Food specials are what you would expect to see in Thailand. Absolutely authentic. One of the best Thai foods in diamond bar area.

Diner Review β„–45

Diner Review β„–46

Diner Review β„–47

Delicious Thai cuisine in Diamond Bar. Restaurant is spacious and very clean. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Huge portions and flavorful food. Papaya salad and Basil Fried rice are both excellent.
PRO TIP: always order their Thai Iced Tea.

Come in … to a Home Cooked Meal

Tucked behind a mini shopping complex on Gentle Springs sits an unassuming looking restaurant. It had a tall lit sign outside saying Brown Rice. We were in the mood for Thai and we were eager to explore and discover what we will find.

Right off the bat, we were welcomed by staff as we walk in. We chose our seats& was handed the menu(s). Our server Sid and another lady were courteous enough to wait for us to finish browsing through the multiple selections on their menu. It had 100+! Luckily they had a separate menu with numbered pictures that was really helpful when making our selection.

We ordered 3 dishes plus a noodle dish for 2 adults and a 10 yr old. The food came in at the right temperature: just-right hot and fresh. We were surprised at the big portions they offered, each one was fit for 2 people to share! Their prices are very reasonable compared to Asian fusion restaurants so that in itself offered value for the price.

The garlic chicken with rice ($14), Pork Garlic Ribs entrΓ©e ($10.95), Cashew Nut entrΓ©e ($11.95) and Pad See Ew ($11.95) were all flavorful with tender meats and fresh vegetables. We just had to order a side of rice and brown rice (+$1 more) which came in a playfully-carved shape of a heart. Cute! My only reservation was the bottom-burned egg that was a bit on the greasy side that came with the garlic chicken I ordered, however, that wasn’t such a deal breaker for me but I wish I could have enjoyed it with the meal the way it was intended.

Towards the end after having devoured this delicious meal and had so much leftovers, our server introduced himself as the owner. After finding out it was our first time at his restaurant, he offered us to try the Mango Sticky rice (on the house!) which, I must say, was a delectable blend of freshly cut ripe mangoes on one side & sticky rice tasting so perfectly sweet with that coconut taste on the other. I was told the rice was prepared in several stages. It also had a sauce in a cup in the middle that was supposed to be poured over the rice, and a beautiful cut orchid was placed in the center of the plate. Presentation made it enticing to eat!

Overall 5 stars for the scrumptious meal, value for money, cleanliness of the place, but most importantly, the hospitality of Sid that made it a one-of-a-kind special experience of all. This establishment is a keeper. We will be frequent customers.

Don't go there!
Very dishonest waitress!

Diner Review β„–50

Crispy pork belly papaya salad is really refreshing. The crunchy crispy pork belly is a big plus.
Grilled pork with sticky rice tastes really good. It takes longer to cook but definitely worth the wait.
Green curry might be too spicy for a lot of people. Taste is a little bit sweet but good.
Street wings: the skin is so crispy. The sauce is more of the honey sweet and sour sauce. It just goes so well with the crispy chicken wings together.

Fresh food, this place is so good!

Diner Review β„–53

Not gonna lie, I was originally gonna go to the Basil Thai place down the street bc it has better reviews but it was closed for renovations until late May. This place was 0.1 miles down the street and looked decent enough! I ordered the pad Thai tofu because that was what I was craving, extra sauce and extra spicy and the portion was HUGE! like I think I could have split it three ways honestly. It came out super quick too! Best part, it was only 11.95 vs 17.95 at Basil so that was a huge draw. There was also just so much crispy tofu, and they asked if I could eat egg (which was a very nice touch) . The taste was 4 stars but the service, price point and portion was 5 stars for me.

Small local Thai restaurant that recently opened. Menu has all the Thai staples. Very spacious, looks like it was converted from an old burger stand. Prices are competitive. However the Food is unremarkable. Nothing exceptional here. Pad see ew and Red curry were good. The broccoli beef and chicken skewers were subpar. Definitely better options out there for Thai.

Diner Review β„–64

Yum! Delicious Thai food! The red curry was amazing! I can't wait to come back here again and try more things on the menu. New favorite Thai place!

Diner Review β„–65

First time and loved it. We had Pad Thai, Chicken. Called it in and picked it up. Will be going back.

Diner Review β„–66

Great food and service reasonable prices. I will be a regular.

Diner Review β„–67

Good Thai food with an extensive menu Brown Rice Thai is a restaurant that you can add to your list of favorites because of consistent quality, taste, price and service.

The restaurant is clean and modern and the staff is friendly.

The location is out of the way and there is not a lot of parking but these things can be overlooked.

The menu has many pages of choices
It is organized by food type and they even have a menu with photos too!

Some favorite dishes are

Pad Thai
Tom Kha Soup
Thai Fried Rice
Tofu Fried Rice
Chicken with basil leaves and chili

They have lunch specials until 3:00pm on weekdays and they include salad and 2 egg rolls. The price is $10.95

This is not cheap food. The food is a good value as it is high quality and good portion size. You'll probably go home with leftovers.

Diner Review β„–68

Bad service, waited for 1 hour as sit down dinner . We ended up going home hungry .

Diner Review β„–83

Have had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful restaurant. Tucked away right next to the center with sprouts market. Our host Sid was pleasant the minute we walked in and friendly! Being our first time he quickly provided menus with and without photos to allow us to order to our evenings cravings. We ordered their Pad Kee Mao, two orders, one spicy and one non spicy. Both did not disappoint! Flavorful, balanced and tasted fresh and hot! Also ordered their red curry extra spicy and it was amazing! We ordered a beer while we waited and their selection was also plentiful to wet the palette. Sid was accommodating from the minute we entered the door to when we left. Wonderful service, ambiance and we will definitely be back! Five stars and more!

Food is perfectly seasoned, And Delicious Everytime! Service is kind and helpful. Location is clean, new and spacious. I love the red currey with chicken, wife likes chicken mushroom, son likes Thai fried rice. Great selections, menu with photos. Lunch specials are great value if you can make it in early.

Diner Review β„–86

The staffs here are nice and helpful. Price is competitive and interior is very spacious. Food tastes great, but a more sour and more sugar taste in the papaya salad would be nice. The restroom is clean although the lock is not so easy to click (needed to pull the door to click the lock. Imagine younger or oder people need to do this). Overall it's a five 🌟.

Diner Review β„–87

Everything was delicious. The service was great and our order came out quickly. Definitely going back.

Diner Review β„–88

Diner Review β„–102

This place is a good mix of sit-down and casual take out. My friend and I came for the pad thai and pad see ewe and they were great. Portions are huge and we definitely took home food. The waiters were super sweet and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

Diner Review β„–106

Food here is great. I'm originally from the long beach area which has a lot of Thai restaurants. I've been looking for a good place around the area and this by far is the best. This is one of the only places that allowed me to have my pad see ew made with pad Thai sauce and it was delicious.

What I've ordered so far:
Pad Thai with thick noodles
Pad See Ew made with Pad Thai Sauce
Thai Boat Noodles
Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli

Diner Review β„–107

I love Thai food but this was a disappointment, had the ginger chicken-no taste-the chicken tasted boiled and stringy and tough. The rice was was mushy and the coconut soup was bland. No sauce on the main dish. No comparison to the Thai restaurant on the other side of the street.

Amazing service, even better food, nice clean dining room. I struggle to find good food back in San Antonio and this place hit the spot big time. This is exactly what I miss about California, when i come back again I will 100% be back!

I had the green curry (some of the most flavorful green curry i’ve ever had). Wife had the ginger chicken and she rarely eats much, but she devoured her generous portion!

Diner Review β„–112

Delicious food! The mango and sticky rice was delightful.

Diner Review β„–113

Delicious food. You won't be disappointed. I enjoyed the yellow curry.
