Our first visit after the new ownership. The previous restaurant was horrible due to the food the previous owners served. The previous "Lao/Thai" food was worse than my homemade version of it. In any event, moving forward; we were surprised and pleased with the foods today with the exception of the BBQ Pork.
#2: Spicy Chicken Wings: The price was an eye opener, but well worth it. The crispyness and flavor were spot on.
#15: BBQ Pork: The "sauce" put on top of the pork was a surprise, and it didn't really go well with the meat. If we do order it again, we would like the sauce on the side.
#16: Crying Tiger: The beef was a little chewy, but it was as good as expected. The sauce accommodated perfectly with the meat. Only note to the owners, please ask how the customer wants the beef cook.
#19: Tofu Drunken Noodles: The noodles were not too soft, and it was also nicely seasoned. The Tofu was firm and nicely accommodated the noodles.
#51: Kao Poon: Very flavorful, also nicely seasoned. We liked it, but we would probably not order again. We had worse Kao Poon and this bowl was not bad. However, we were surprised that they didn't have Kao Soy.
We would definitely come back to try other dishes. We believe these current owners are legit & authentic cooks. π
I ate here for the first time this week. It is a small location but clean, great food and friendly staff. I ordered things I do not normally order when I go to a Thai restaurant. My husband really enjoyed the citrus chicken. I will have to update this review after I eat here again and order the meals I typically do so I can rate this restaurant based off of those meals.
Had an early-ish dinner and we were the only ones in here shockingly because the food here is absolutely delicious. We ordered Chicken Satay as our appetizer, and Citrus Chicken as well as Chicken Pad Thai, portions are big, so you'll definitely be bringing home leftovers.
If we were locals, we would be regulars! The garlic mini ribs? Absolutely insane. In-freaking-sane. Caramelized garlic with soy! The service was excellent, the food was amazing. I've never had Pad Thai with such a noticeable tamarind flavor, and I really enjoyed it! I highly highly recommend you give Rod-Sap a try! Great food, extra clean, clean bathrooms that smelled great, and a beautiful decor. Thank you for making our last night in town specialπ
The food is delicious this is my go to place for pad thai. The only thing I would suggest id maybe hiring more staff because on the Saturday I went they only had two staff people working and they were doing everything,and the restaurant was pretty busy which made my pick up visit a little longer. Other than that the service was great and the two staff crews were very polite.
We stopped here based on reviews since we're not from the area. So glad we did! The green curry and pad Thai were delicious! Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back the next time we're in the area.
My first time here and I am impressed. Excellent service! The best Pad Thai Iβve ever had! Papaya Salad with shrimp was good, and there were 5 large shrimps! Very clean; they replace table cover after each customer! Good & relaxing jazz music too! I will be back in a couple of days to try the mini fried ribs and the fried rice.

As soon as I walk in they know my order!! Food and service is always great!!

Weβve been going to Rods for the last five years and it just is super consistent and always a good vibe. Food comes super fast and is always delicious!!

Grew up on Lao/Thai food & this is the best place to stop for that Lao style craving! Great service, taste, and atmosphere. We got Lao sausages, Pumpkin curry, & Drunken Noodles.
Perfect combination of robust flavor, sweet and spice. I will definitely be back for more!
Great food with large portions!
Foods were authentic and yummy. The service was great! Our foods came in quickly, too. Highly recommend them.
Amazing food, amazing service. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice meal.
The staff were extremely friendly as soon as we walked in, even though we came in less than an hour before closing time. It is very clearly a family run restaurant that you can feel good about supporting.
Food was good, we both had dishes from the fried noodles section of the menu, the portions were a good size. This restaurant provides much better value with comparable or better food than other Thai restaurants in Fairfield. If you don't order a drink and don't have a huge appetite so you can get two meals out of a dish, the value could be as good as In N Out.
I love how authentic their food taste. It's filled with so much flavor and the right amount of everything. I love their Kapoon the most which I have tried almost everything, except their seafood dishes because I don't eat seafood. Highly recommend this place. They're very friendly. Atmosphere is great!

Delicious food every time. One of my favorite restaurants in Fairfield.
Best Thai food I've had in a while! Very clean and friendly staff!
Amazing food, service, atmosphere, and prices.
Great food and excellent service. A very clean place.
Food was delicious. The service was good. Would definitely recommend.
The best tofu bites with peanut sauce is like crack for me. It's soo good, i also enjoy the green chicken curry. The atmosphere is very relaxing, i could take a nap after eating. The staff is always accommodating and nice. Great place
I got the coconut chicken soup. It was very yummy and spicy just the way I like it. π
As a Thai, I can say this is the best Thai foods you can get in Fairfield area where padthai is real padthai and fried rice tastes like fried rice. (Many restaurants seem to serve oily and soaked padthai which indicates that they don't cook it properly). It's closest to authentic Thai cuisine you can get in This area (unless you want to drive to San Francisco for a better one or even true Thai foods in LA)
Absolutely delicious
So good!! The portions were great, and customer service was top notch! All the food was hot, served quickly and our water glasses were never empty. Food was also delicious, will be back for sure!
One of the best dinners Iβve had since moving to the bay a year ago. Just incredible.
They still serve some of our favorites from when it was S&L Thai from years back. The Citrus Chicken and Spring Roll's are some of the best around to eat in this neck of the woods. The Sliver Noodle plate with combination meat and seafood is great also with some of their homemade sauce for the spring rolls mixed in is excellent. Best Thai food outside of a few places in the city if you want to drive and spend the gas....
Incredibly professional yet friendly staff! Of course the food is AMAZING, delicious! Love the music in a clean and comfortable setting! You've got to try it!!!
There's not a lot of Laotian food on the menu (should be more) but everything I tried was good here. Place is nice and staff is really nice.
I haven't tried enough of the dishes to say more about the food but thus far it's been excellent food. I always measure the greatness by the pad see ew and pad Thai--very good. I intend to stop by on my way home from work several times a week since it's on my route home--I'm terrible at making myself dinner after a long day at work. Great experience and nice atmosphere dining-in. I've been looking for a more local Thai place and I found it!
This place is so good! My family and I always order the Silver noodles and Citrus Chicken.
Amazing food & good serviceβ¦ most Thai places taste watered down but Rod-Sapβs flavors were great! We had the red curry & pad kraw praw, both really tasty. But the spicy chicken wings were insanely good- must try.
Very fresh I went back the following week
We tried wings, basil Thai fried rice, fried tofu, vegetable egg rolls, pad Thai and drunken noodles all were very tasty. I liked the basil Thai fried rice the best. The staff was very attentive and nice.
They have galangal in their tom kha soup!!!! This place is seriously legit. If you're south Asian and/or love high quality, authentic Thai food, this is the place to go!
Amazing food
If we were locals, we would be regulars! The garlic mini ribs? Absolutely insane. In-freaking-sane. Caramelized garlic with soy! The service was excellent, the food was amazing. I've never had Pad Thai with such a noticeable tamarind flavor, and I really enjoyed it! I highly highly recommend you give Rod-Sap a try!

The citrus chicken was really crispy!!! Food comes out fast and the service is very friendly!
Food was very delicious and very good service as well!
This place is awesome. Got the papaya salad, pad Thai, and Panang curry and they were all out of this world. If I lived in town this place would be a staple for me. If I ever pass through again, Iβll be coming back here for sure.
Omg. I love their chicken in skewers appetizer. I dont know what they put on their peanut sauce but its very addicting. I love it so much.
Love the Drunken Spaghetti! Nice spot. Easy access. Always room. Nice people and Good Food! Tap In!
Good as always
You canβt be wrong . Their food is really good .
Nice quaint atmosphere. Clean and the bathrooms too. The citrus chicken with fried spinach was delicious and the crab fried rice was so good even without soy sauce. Iced Thai tea and coffee were so refreshing. Will come again.
Great food, very very good service. I'm super happy! They put TONS of tofu in my dishes, by far the most I've seen at any restaurant.
I absolutely love the Citrus Chicken drowned in sauce. It is a must have with the Thai Fried Rice. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!
Excellent food, we'll worth a 45 min drive, arguably the best Asian food in the area, not expensive, good portion sizes, super clean, and polite staff
Been going to this restaurant for over 6 years. My favorite dish is the Citrus Chicken. The staff is very friendly.
Delicious food and large portion sizes! I have been to several Thai restaurants in Vacaville, Fairfield, Vallejo, and the Sacramento area. Rod-Sap Thai Lao is one of my favorites. They can't be beat for quality, quantity, and price.
Wonderful food... I used to live in Napa and would drive to eat in this restaurant weekly. Now I live in San Francisco but anytime I drive this way I always eat here. Delicious π
Always amazing food and service
I've dined in and gotten take out many times from this restaurant and it's ALWAYS delicious, the owner is also very friendly.
Thank you for sending previously missed coffee.. That is soooooooooooooooooooo cool of you. lots of love.
Great food and Great People always the spot for Awesome Thai food Thanks guys!! π
I have passed this Thai Rest. Many times. Today I ordered and was very pleased with all my food. I will return.
Awesome food, easy order and pickup, great service! Single handedly Re-awakened my interest in thai food.
The food is delicious. They also kept some of the well known favorites from the previous owners. They also have great customer service.
Came here for my birthday and ordered Calamari and Chicken Thai Fried Rice. Service overall was really good and the food was even better. Once my order was placed it didn't come out fast but didn't take very long either. Will definitely be coming back for more!
I LOVE this place, it took me forever to find a GOOD Thai restaurant. The Owner is Awesome, and everyone who works there is sweet.
THERE WAS A ROACH IN MY FOOD, DO NOT EAT NOTHING FROM HERE AT ALL!!
First time there. Everything was great and the food was ready really fast!!!
Amazing! Amazing food!! Love all the food weβve eaten there and my special favorite is the Salmon Mango Curry!!! Highly recommend!!
Real good , tried the citrus chicken , and drunken noodles , both worthy dishes .
Great mini ribs and mango with sticky rice.
The service is excellent. Best Thai food in town.
Great food. Great owner.
Great service!! Awesome food tried some stuff I've never had before period I recommend the mini garlic ribs
Amazing food!
Poor tasting food. Will not go back again.
Really good food!!!! Very fresh flavors!! Loved the chips and the sauce they gave us before our food came out
Great food, great service. Very authentic Thai and Lao dishes.
Great food
Tried this place after a long time for lunch today. Place is under new management now. The owner 'Ket' was very friendly and the food was great. The Penang beef curry was well prepared. I will definitely return.
The best Thai place in Fairfield and arguably NorCal! The owner is so friendly, the food is incredible, and the Citrus Chicken is worth tasting before you die! Haven't had a menu item I've disliked yet and I eat here a lot!
Enjoyed a delicious curry π fried rice π dish here. The portion size was ree-deek-ku-lus (in the style of my beloved Naija family lol π³π¬). Definitely hit this place up, especially if youβre waiting on your laundry load across the street at Wonder Wash. This establishment gets the NaijaQTΒ©οΈstamp of approval β
