Very courteous staff and the food was great too

Diner Review №3

Overall, 4.5 rating ! The curry and roti was tasty BUT $9-10 DOLLARS for 4-6 squares and 1.5-2 Tablespoons of watery yellow curry was outrageous!!!! The Green curry was very good but the tofu was slightly over fried, and the cake was okay ( a little dry)

Amazingly tasty food!
I love this place, the menu is full of delicious choices. My go to salad is the mango prawn salad...so good. Curries are good and can be adjusted for spicy levels.
This is my go to spot for thai food!

Diner Review №9

When we first moved here 4 years, someone told us Pikul Thai was the best Thai food around. We finally gave it a try. Pikul Thai is now our favorite Thai restaurant. The food is fresh, nicely presented, and so delicious! The thai tea is a must try. Not overly sweet like at most places.

The service is quick and the staff is really friendly.

I texted a friend to tell her that we found a new favorite Thai place and she responded the Pikul Thai was already her go to spot for the best Thai food!

Diner Review №16

Update four years later

I don't know what happened, although I suspect inflation and the lack of skilled workers, but the quality went way down hill.

Crispy chicken fried rice was not crispy. It was not cut up chicken like before. The chicken pieces were uniform ovals and the (not) crispy skin was loose and flabby. Most importantly, there was no flavor. The fried rice was not a mound of fluffy egg fried rice, it was mushy. I could not eat it.

As seen in my original review, that was my favorite dish and now I will not order from them anymore. Especially when I paid over $100 for just three people.

Very good food. I especially like the fried rice and fried chicken. The crab fried rice is very good, as well, as is the ginger chicken. I usually get quite a bit of fried rice with the chicken, but this time, it was about half as much, otherwise it would have been a 5. This is a "go to" place.

Update: What ever the problem was, it was fixed! 5 stars is for real. They consistently outdo almost every other restaurant in town.

Diner Review №21

Passed by on a drive to San Francisco. Ordered Larb, Tom Yum, Pad Thai, Lemon Chicken app, papaya salad, and green curry and everything was so good!

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Great food and service. Good sized portions. Fresh papaya falls (SomTam). A bit of strip-mall atmosphere, but of course it's in a strip mall 😉

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

Good food and friendly staff. I am not usually a yellow curry fan but it's so delicious here!! Lemongrass chicken is also delicious. Larb and crab fried rice is good. Everything I've tried is good. Price is good considering big portion sizes. Best Thai restaurant in Fairfield/Vacaville area.

Diner Review №26

Pikul is one of our favorite Thai places to go to. We go every couple weeks, food is delicious. Very clean environment, friendly service, food is prepared quickly. Has vegan options you can ask for, like on the Sweet Thai Basil dish instead of the oyster sauce. Many dishes can have tofu instead of meat. They cut holes in the Styrofoam lids so your Spring Rolls are still crunchy on takeout. Great place, highly recommended.

Good place to have food. Everything we ordered tasted good. No disappointments at all

Diner Review №30

Great food!

Diner Review №31

LEMON GRASS CHICKEN is amazing

Diner Review №32

The Pad Thai was good, I would give it a 8.5/10, with the chicken being slightly overcooked. The Pineapple Fried Rice was very good, I would give it a 9.3/10. Overall highly recommend the place, Pad Thai and Fried Rice were each $15. Lychee drink was fantastic with a fresh lychee taste, and it was $3.50.

Diner Review №33

Crab fried rice is a scam. Bunch of egg in there. Food was good. But $25 for barely any crab meat. Overpaid for the same rice you get at Hophings kitchen. For the price Go somewhere else. Atmosphere is the same as any delivery place. Nothing special about this place at all.

Diner Review №34

I travel for work so I’ve eaten at A LOT of different restaurants the past year and this place is by far my favorite discovery. The food is divine and portions are very large for the price. Will keep coming back here to try everything on the menu.

Diner Review №45

We ordered door dash from here, and the food was incredible! We got the red curry, garlic shrimp fried rice, and pad Thai. Everything was delicious, reasonable priced, and the portions were very generous. We will be back!

Diner Review №46

I have never gotten so sick from eating a papaya salad and it’s my usual go-to for a light Thai meal. It didn’t look as fresh as they normally do but I didn’t think anything of it until I was puking my guts out.

Diner Review №49

If you love Thai food then this is the place for you. Spicy basil chicken is my favorite also the iced green tea is thirst quenching.

Diner Review №50

My husband, kids, and I LOVE this Thai Bistro !!! Best Thai in this area by far. We ALWAYS get peanut curry, BBQ pork fried rice, and drunken noodles. Always always always impressed. Only thing I wont get from them again...is Pad Thai. It is not to our liking and that is okay because everything else is FIRE(delicious). We won't go anywhere else again. Ohhhh and generous portions ✔

Update: 1 year later and It is still our favorite place for Thai food.

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Okay, this is my absolute favorite restaurant. I’ve been here twice and have nothing to complain about. The staff is very kind and the food is amazing. I get the thai iced tea, pad thai, crispy chicken fried rice and the duck for 3 people and it’s really good sized portions but not forgetting, it’s absolutely the best. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area because you won’t regret it!

Diner Review №53

Excellent Mango Splash drink with Pad Thai Noodle. I asked them to leave out the peanuts and eggs. Scrumptious!

Diner Review №54

Great service, food was awsome

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Best Thai in area. Nice people and nice spot as well. Easy location for parking and it’s very chill inside for a place located in a strip mall u wouldn’t know!

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

This was a nice place to grab a quick lunch. I had the crispy duck and the spaghetti seafood looked packed full of flavor! I really want to try the stuff curries so I'm coming back for sure.

Diner Review №68

This place serves wonderful Thai food. It restored my love for the cuisine after a pretty negative experience in another restaurant. I gave up eating Thai food for a while because of that, but now I am back on track.

I ordered a papaya salad which was a perfect portion for lunch. It was refreshing, non oily, and very crunchy. Satisfying meal for sure.

I also ordered green curry, and the flavor was truly amazing. I mixed some of the green curry with rice. The coconut flavor is undeniably prevalent. Vegetables add to the sweet flavor of the dish, it is not overwhelming though. I found the meal to be pretty lightweight, and perfect for dinner.

The GrubHub pickup process was quick and painless. My meal was ready when I arrived.

Diner Review №94

Recently, people were raving about this Restaurant in the Solano Community Awareness Group on Facebook and saying that it has won "Best Restaurant" for 2 years, so I thought I'd try it. First of all, the Restaurant is very small, but that was to be expected by where it is located.

The service wasn't the best. I waited a long time before I could get my waiter's attention both for the Menu and after I received my food for Soy Sauce. I, also, had a long wait for a to-go box and my bill.

But, the worse thing was the food was cold! The waiter never came over to see if everything was all right with my meal, like most restaurants should, plus he was setting up tables or talking to the other staff member and not giving his full attention to the dinner guests.

I will not return to this Restaurant!!!

Diner Review №95

Great food, can get a little busy but the food is good.

Diner Review №96

Waiting more than 1 hour. Crazy long wait. Go somewhere else.

Holy cow. Loved this place. It was kind of deep into Fairfield from where I live but it's so worth it. The inside is kind of small, so take out was perfect. The gyoza was fantastic. The wings were surprisingly delicious. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention to the second order we placed so we ended up with two noodle dishes (drunken noodle & pad Thai). Definitely will be coming back in order to expand what I've tried on the menu.

Pretty tasty food and the price was good. I ordered delivery and the food came hot. Was satisfied with the order overall. I’ll recommend it to anyone who is looking for something that’s open for delivery late. They were available through seamless which was awesome since I use it often. I would’ve given it a solid 5 if I would’ve been there to eat, but food alone it was good.

Diner Review №126

Fabulous food?

Diner Review №127

This place is pretty good. It came as a Google suggestion and I decided to give it a try. The wife loves thai food and usually gets green curry but opted for the pumpkin curry. I love drunken noodles and decided to get that. My 2 year old will generally eat any type of fried rice so I decided to go big and get the crab fried rice because I was curious and it is a signature dish. I got all this to go so I apologize for the pictures because I was lazy and didnt want to stage the dishes.

I just had a quick taste of the pumpkin curry but it was flavorful and creamy like any other curry. Decent spice but nothing crazy. I cant really judge the dish definitively because I didnt do much more than a taste. The wife said it was good and would get it again. However, for the price, she would go to out usual thai spot.

I had the drunken noodles and it did not disappoint. Spicier than I am used to but nothing crazy. The fresh chili was welcoming and the noodles were delicious. There was nothing special about the chicken and it didnt taste as if it was marinated in anything. The side salad that it came with had a small container of creamy dressing. Similar to the mayo based dressings you may find in some Japanese restaurants. I wasnt a fan of the salad or the dressing and found it kind of odd in my to go box. Also, the heat of the dish wilted some of the salad. Other than that, there are no complaints about the quality of the food.

The crab fried rice was delicious but I would have appreciated larger chunks of crab. It wasnt lingering with a fishy taste and the other ingredients had a chance to shine through. The carrots were unexpected but the kid LOVES them so it was a plus. A little expensive but worth to try at least once.

Diner Review №128

I went to this place along with my three friends. We had crispy chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice, drunken noodles, chicken wings, and pad woon sen.

Crispy chicken fried rice was the best. The noodles and shrimp fried rice was good too. The chicken wings were a bit sweet, we were expecting a bit different taste.

The portion size is very good and will be sufficient for a person with good appetite. The staff was friendly and welcoming and all this with inexpensive items on the menu. Overall a very good experience.

Diner Review №143

I have to say that this is one of the best Thai restaurants in Solano county and the Bay Area! My favorite is Buddha Thai Bistro in Vacaville but this place is right up there!!! The quality of the food is excellent and the service is awesome!!! The food comes out quickly... faster than you would expect! How often can you say that!? The portions are a good size and they have a good size menu. This is somewhere I will be coming back to again for sure!!!

Diner Review №144

Hands down, the best beef salad in all of Solano county!

This place has amazing food!! I had the Thai basil chocking and soo good! My friend had the tilapia and she was impressed. I’ll be back to try the Avacado curry next.

Diner Review №147

Delicious food and friendly service, really made a big difference on our trip through the area and one of the best Thai meals we've had. If I get a chance I'll be back but highly recommended for anyone in the area that hasn't had the chance to try this spot.
