Down-to-earth restaurant serving a long menu of traditional Thai dishes, plus beer & wine.
Updated photos of the menu as of January 2nd, 2025!
It was delicious some dishes tend to lack flavor but we ordered in person for togo and We forgot to take pictures of our food so we will make a new post whenever we eat out again! We love the combination Pho, yellow curry, pad thai, orange chicken with sticky rice, their Papaya Salad! We try to get one new dish every time plus a favorite.
We had orange chicken that was overcooked. The rice was absolutely amazing with the red curry. The egg rolls were a little over cooked but wonderful. The noodle bowl was tasteless. It was presented beautifully, The noodles and the vegetables but just lack any flavor whatsoever
Had broccoli & beef with a bowl of sticky rice. It was delicious. My first time here. The bowls of Pho (soup) a huge. I am used to Chinese restaurants that have a combo meal, with 3 items and fortune cookie.
Service was quick and food did not take too long to arrive.
Atmosphere, place was clean; there were no pictures in the dining room.
Food was awesome. Never had this kind of food. Loved it staff was friendly and was really good on checking up on us to see if there was anything else we needed or wanted. Place was clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I'm always open to try new foods. Glad I tried the food at this restaurant.
I love New Thai Cuisine. They have so many different dishes to choose from. Everything I have tried is yummy. The fried shrimp is so scrumptious. I also enjoy the chow main. It has so many yummy veggies. It's one of my favorite dishes. Give them a try. You're guaranteed to find something that floats your boat.
I'm shocked to see such great reviews. I love Thai food, but this was bland and flavorless. Even the rice was strange and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The only dish that was good was the pho. Tofu was burned and had a weird after taste. Beef was hard and chewy... maybe old? Noodles were clumped together and should have been unacceptable to serve, but they gave them to us anyway. Oh, and the waitermixed up the order of the people at our table (one chicken dish. One beef dish), but it wasn't a big deal we didn't ask for anything to be redone. Def the first and last time I'll ever eat there.
You have to try this
La comida es muy buena
I was shocked how big the portions are and food was bombiiee.commiee
Spring rolls with the sauce ,maaaaan !
Place is pretty good, service is not bad the cooks are great..

Excellent pad Thai and the Pho is amazing and generous serving as well.
I wasn't happy with big pieces of chile on the spicy chowmein. Hopefully they make it next time right. Less meat and noodles on the combo.

Cozy atmosphere, the food was very good, and the staff were very friendly. If you think this place doesn't look like much on the outside, do not let that deter you. You won't regret it.
Flys!! Shrimp was burnt and Bbq pork was just awful and soggy cucumbers.No teapot just a mug of tea
Decent Thai and Vietnamese food offered here. Lots vegetarian options. Close early 7:30pm for dinner.
2 blocks from the new hip downtown. IDNK it is run by the Yosemite Ave people. First rate.
This place never disappoints. The best Thai Fried Rice in Merced. Amazing BBQ Chicken and when I ask them to over cook it because I'm weird...they always stay true. Best sauces mixed with the flavor of the dishes makes this spot one of the best gems in Merced. I always will recommend BBQ Chicken and a side of fried rice. The chicken stuffed shrimp egg rolls are mouth watering...just be careful, the food comes out hot. Don't ever change please.
Good Food good prices good service.Try it its very GOOD😊
Just went there ordered to go and when I got home saw that there was plastic floating in the pho the lid had a hole and they put something on top to try to cover it up not even replace the lid
Another of my top pho places in merced. This place dont miss. Great food and service. Affordable price. Good amount of food for price. I recommend the beef and meatball pho with chili oil. Or the chicken wings with sticky rice. Enjoy!
Not an authentic Thai cuisine from a point of view of Thai. Would not recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic one but good services.
NO GOOD! 👎
Such a tiny place, but the ladies there were cool and the food was great!
Very good food
Good food good service
Really good food but drunken noodle only one spice really good but little spicy
Food bland as hell seems all meat is precooked super dry not goos at all

I always get the Pho and it is always excellent. Service is also fantastic.
Decent but the building is too small. But I've recently visited, under construction so hopefully it'll be a little more space
We ordered the chicken pho. We were a little under the weather, so it was nice to have a warm and tasty pho to enjoy.
The broth is very aromatic. Nice crispy veggies to add to your pho. Never a bad meal here!
Took the food to go so we enjoyed at home and they wrap the food very well so it won't spill. 👍🏾
The important stuff, food and service is great. Atmosphere not so much. Not a fan of “Rap” with a bowl Pho.
Best pho in town
great food, great service! 🤩
HUGE portions, good food. Our to go boxes after stuffing ourselves looked like we hadn't eaten anything. Prices are really good for the amount of food. We could have split and entree and still had leftovers!

Excellent food.. so glad we stopped.. Number 1 on Google...

Staff very friendly and food is always good, new changes to the interior look great!
We love this spot. Staff is always welcoming and friendly the food is always on point. Thank you guys for always making us feel apart of the family. Blessings!
Love there food
Their food is super good the Pad Thai is amazing and their orange chicken is just as good! It’s a must!!
Food was amazing
SO DELICIOUS
Bomb!!!!
Awesome service and amazing food.
Well worth driving outta town for.
Under new ownership some of the best Thai food I’ve eaten very fresh very good customer service. The new owner is very friendly. I would recommend this place over all other Thai places in Merced hands-down thank you so much for bringing good food back to Merced..The chicken ..sticky rice and spring rolls are my favorite.. Don’t let the outside older building scare you ..Food is excellent 😊
Myself n my 1 n only luv this place..
Good food , and good customer service
Chicken pad see eww tasted like dirt
Good pho.. good size too. Beautiful ladies services..
Good food, the fried tofu is great
The dishes are huge.
Been going to this place for a bit now. Sad they closed the one down in Atwater. It was much closer to me. I still drive out of my way to get the food here. Especially if I don't feel like cooking Thai food at home. I recommend the fried rice, yellow curry and shrimp in a blanket. Service is great.
I tried the pad Thai ,yellow curry with sticky rice ,thai drunken noodles, pineapple rice and vegetarian pad Thai to go …amazing experience everything was delicious my favorites was the pad Thai and drunken noodles on another level a absolute must try.. I read a review saying it was 2 star. This is my favorite place for pho and first time trying the Thai from Sacramento Stockton Manteca Modesto to Fresno and everything in between hands down the best pad Thai level 4 heat and drunken noodles I ever had.
One of my most favorite places. Can count on quality. Service could improve a bit. Overall a good place to visit.
This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but as of late the experiences here have been subpar.
Especially, after calling to let them know that they had not cooked my orange chicken all the way through and served me raw chicken I was told to bring the food back in and “prove it’s raw” if I wanted a refund. Unfortunately, for them I was only calling to inform them so no one gets sick. Was not looking to leave a bad review or get anything for free, but how the situation was handled by the girl over the phone this is only fair to let everyone know. Unprofessional and disappointing. I won’t be returning here in the future. Be careful and make sure your chicken is cooked all the way through if you decide to eat here.
Food quality is definitely on the decline and from my previous experience so is the customer service.
I ordered the Larb and it was very salty. I complained and asked if I could order something else instead and the waitress told me no. I didn't eat it. I was disappointed that was not able to order something else that might have enjoyed.
Pho soup was the best
Staff was the best thing here. We ordered the steak salad, spring rolls, the peanut dish, tom kha, and veggie stir fry. The steak salad was the onoy thing I would eat again. The peanut dish tasted like a jar of Skippy with sugar and milk. It was inedible. The spring rolls had just lettuce, shrimp, and chicken. The tom kha was tomato soup with coconut milk, the stir fry was bland as well. Merced has great Vietnamese/Thai places, but this isn't one of them.
Best thai food ive had in merced by far. Always recommend the combo pho, and mango rice dessert is to die for! Staff is extremely nice and friendly.
The food is always so good! Usually get the combination pho, pork chow mein, or orange chicken. The staff is also very friendly. They also have the best Thai coffee!
Amazing curry and pad Thai and amazing workers!!!
Highly recommend! Great staff and great food :)
We stopped here on the way back from Yosemite to SF Bay Area. Delicious food and was especially impressed with the fact that most items including curries could be made vegan / vegetarian. Generous portions as well at reasonable prices. We had the vegan Panang Curry and vegan stir-fry eggplant.
Highly recommended and would return for sure.
Good lunch spot, thanks
Terrible!!! This place has always been a hit and miss but today's pad Thai was just NASTY!!!!
Food is excellent fun friendly staff 😋
The Pho is really good. I had yhe chicken, I also had the cucumbers and mango sweet rice... Service is good, the.place is clean. You can't go wrong.
My favorite place to eat!!
Don't judge the place from outside. The food was very delicious and the service was top notch. They check in on us frequently and the food was done quickly considering they were busy. Highly recommended
Favorite in town
Yum!! Comes out hot 🤤
There fryed rice
We really liked the food!
Good food with great personal service
A little small but it has great food.
Excellent
Ordered green curry vegan style and date had pad tai. There was enough for leftovers and it was almost just as good the second time. Patio seating was clean and dog friendly! Also the green curry was awesome
The food was so good
April and the rest of the staff are fabulous the food is super tasty they gave me extra basil for my numtok beef salad.. I just wish they had chop suey but the place is great and the people are great so go there and always be nice tip twice
Everything on the menu is amazing. Absolutely best Thai curry; Panang utterly phenomenal, Green was so delicious I didn't want to stop eating. Definitely have an addiction to this place.
Best Thai food around!!!!! 10x STARS
The food was sooooo good!!! The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was perfect!
I was craving red curry but they were out so, they made me yellow curry with the vegetables from the red curry. 😋 YUMMMM!!! It was so good that now I need to try the yellow curry just as it comes.
This is definitely a new favorite for me!!
Great restaurant. Good variety of food and it taste fresh.
Tasty
Their spring rolls are like eating a refreshing summer salad and their curry is delicious!
Service quality is starting to go down food still good
Great food and excellent customer service!
The food here is great! Good speedy service. Huge portions for relatively cheap. Amazing overall experience. Thank you for feeding us!
Delicioso pho 😋
I love this place! The food is fresh, hot and flavorful. Plus the wait staff is very friendly and attentive.
This place has almost the same exact name as another Thai restaurant on the same street. I mistakenly called this restaurant thinking it was the other, and placed an order to go. When we discovered my mistake, we went with it to see if this place was going to be a good dinner option. It was not. You can see in the photo… what looks like a refrigerator magnet with clip must have fallen into the pan while the were cooking my wife’s green curry. The plastic is visibly deformed from the heat. The magnet separated and was elsewhere in the broth, implying that we were eating the melted glue before we discovered it.
Otherwise, the food was pretty substandard. The curry broth was quite thin. The pad thai sauce was unusually sour. My pad king was overcooked and very greasy. The sticky rice was dried out.
I am seriously in awe of just how delicious the food is! Not only that but the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. I had traveled from out of town and happened to stumble upon this restaurant (wanting some good pho for my son and I). I will definitely be back just for this food. We had taken it to-go and by the time we got home it was still hot and so full of flavor. Ten out of ten recommend this establishment! Don’t miss out. I’ve already told a handful of friends that frequent Merced. Hopefully they listen to my RAVE review!! We ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken (not spicy for my kiddo), Green curry with chicken and sticky rice, and a Kids order of chicken Pho with an extra broth. I’ve also read that the crispy tofu is a must. Our next visit for sure :) I promise you won’t be disappointed.
This place is great. We've been twice now. The service is great and the food is fresh, amazing, ultra flavorful and decently priced. We will definitely be back a third time.
I went in for the Thai beef salad it's definitely different here than other restaurants in town. The food was good but a little white washed.
The staff was helpful and friendly, we came with a group over 5, 7 actually so the gratuity was automatically added not a huge fan of that but it's understandable. My sister is vegan and the lack of knowledge as to what is in certain dishes and the I don't know response isn't an acceptable response guys. Especially considering it was her birthday dinner and she had picked this place because staff had been very helpful and understanding when it came to her dietary restrictions in the past. The food was good, the staff was friendly, just expect to get I don't know as a response if you have dietary restrictions.
Very small place but clean. 1 bathroom available for everyone. I eat a limited selection from the Menu because I don't like alot of Thai dishes. What I eat is delcious and that little place is always packed. The service is very good too.
It was amazing very good and the service was awesome 🌺 I would recommend it to everyone ☺️,💕
Great pho and egg rolls. Wide variety menu; Great customer service.
Great food really good service
Service was good. Food in the other had was not. Only food they got ok was the pho. If I went back and that's a "BIG IF" I would only order the pho.
Get the green curry and spring rolls. You're welcome. Excellent pho! Wish they would bring back Satay chicken but they do have a chicken with the same seasoning and super delicious peanut dipping sauce.
Love the Food here!😋 Fresh dishes with 🌶🌶🍜 you decide the spicy flavor. Been indulging for years👍👍👍🍽
I frequent this restaurant. Just had someone incredibly rude answer the phone, don’t know if I’ll keep calling if she answers, again.The food is usually good and the brother/sister server/manager are great, the other servers need to learn from them. Not so content with new staff being hired.
Always so friendly and oh my gosh their food is so good😊😊😋😋
Ordered the cooked larb & raw larb! Last time going here. Either the cook was mad or this place has no business making larb!
Very good food.
Great! Delicious! 越南鸭面汤真好吃!
Just ate there for lunch and the food was freaking delicious🤤
Best Pho in Town
Rica comida
Had the chicken chow Mein and the chicken, cabbage and strimp egg rolls with a home made dipping sauce. Both orders were so delicious.
DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!
THIS WAS MY WORST EXPERIENCE AND I WILL NOT EVER COME BACK.
I have been coming here for 2 years now. I went there last night and idk if it was the fact that it was all the left over food from the day or what but I was up all night just sick. If you have a sensitive stomach and want fresh food do not go here especially at night.
We had been craving pho for a while now so we got our late valentines dinner last night BUT it made both of us so sick. We were up all night throwing up and just miserable. We had got a golden bowl, chicken/beef pho and pork fried rice. I don’t know what part made us so sick but when I called to let them know she basically just told me that it wasn’t their fault and to have a good day. I wasn’t calling to get anything for free or anything like that I just wanted to inform them so that no one else got sick from whatever it may have been. (Could have even been the oils or something of that nature) But her lack of empathy and understanding is what pushed me to write this review.
This WAS our pho spot but they just lost us as a customer after this experience.
