Thai Cuisine was a huge disappointment, and I can’t recommend it based on my experience.

Food: I tried the Green Curry and Panang Curry, and neither of them were to my liking. The Panang Curry was way too spicy, to the point where it overpowered any other flavors, while the Green Curry was excessively sweet. Neither dish was balanced, and I was disappointed by the lack of customization options—they didn’t even ask us about spice levels, which would have been helpful.

Hygiene: To make matters worse, there were cockroaches under our table. It was absolutely unacceptable and made for an uncomfortable dining experience. I’ve attached pictures to show the condition of the place—this is not something you should expect from any restaurant.

Service: The staff were not friendly, and the service was subpar. They weren’t attentive or accommodating, and it felt like we were an afterthought. When you’re paying for a meal, the least you can expect is decent service, but unfortunately, that was missing here.

Ambience: The ambience was laughable at best. It was far from the cozy, inviting atmosphere I was hoping for, and the overall vibe just didn’t make the meal enjoyable. It felt more like a poorly managed space than a restaurant where you’d want to sit and enjoy your food.

Overall, the food, hygiene, service, and ambience were all huge letdowns. With cockroaches in the dining area and lackluster food, I won’t be returning to Ramen Hajime anytime soon.

We enjoyed our meal here very much. The server was VERY nice, friendly. Lots of vegetarian options, which was good for a meatless Friday. Everything was cooked freshly and served quickly. Pad Se Eew had lots of vegetables and tasted yummy. Green Papaya salad was a hit - the only problem was that it was more spicy that we would have liked. That is the problem with trying a new restaurant, you don't know how to answer the "how spicy do you want it" question. We asked for medium spicy, it was very hot. But we still ate it all. And we had a shrimp appetizer, very tasty but simple. Good prices considering how much food we received.

My recent visit to this Vietnamese restaurant left me utterly delighted. The ambiance was a delightful fusion of modern elegance and traditional charm, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner. The service was impeccable, with the waitstaff being both courteous and attentive. But the real star of the show was the food. The menu boasted a wide range of options, and each dish was a masterpiece. The banh mi sandwich was a taste explosion, and the crispy spring rolls were a perfect start to our meal. This restaurant is a true gem that deserves all the accolades.

Delicious! Portions are on the smaller side though. The barbecue chicken wasn’t what we thought. Seemed like satay chicken but delicious regardless. The sweet sticky rice with mango was so yummy. But definitely pricey for the portion size. Fresh taste for sure!

I ordered one shrimp Tom Yum. It was good. It was definitely on the sour side. I would have liked a bit more shrimp considering the size and price of the item.

I also ordered one Po Tak. It was delicious and fragrant. It had a decent portion of different seafood. It tasted very fresh and balanced. I definitely recommend it if you are someone who loves seafood or if you are still feeling the night before 🥳 Their Thai iced tea is delicious.

For dessert I ordered their Sweet Rice with Mango. They told me they didn’t have any more mango, but that they would put extra sweet rice for the same price. I agreed. When I arrived home, I was disappointed. The sweet rice was dry and the portion small. The dessert did not reflect its $9 price tag in taste nor size. I would recommend you pass on it if they don’t have mango.

Overall, good place. Menu is on the pricier side considering portions. Recommend the Po Tak.

Arrived for lunch 1ish. A young woman was the only person for the whole place. It's not that big, but she was good at keeping up with everyone.

The portions were either big or small. Hubby ordered the combination noodle soup, large. It was a it said, large.

I ordered the full order Yellow Curry, which actually came with rice - most charge extra. The full size was quite small in my opinion, but none the less, the taste was on point! I was super happy with the spice level. Normally it's too much on just a standard basis, but this was perfect. For someone who prefers a not-so- spicy curry, it was great. The Thai tea was mixed right. The milk and tea did not overpower each other.

Overall, we will be back. The only thing I would recommend is a half size larger portion on the curry.

See you soon Thai Cuisine!

First time here and I'm not really impress with my soup. I order the combination noodle soup with meat balls. There was not really any taste on the broth and it lack some meat for the price that they ask for. On my soup i found only 3 small shrimp, not enough calamari or inmitation crab. I wasnt happy with it. My wife order the yellow chicken curry and that was full of flavor. As for the restaurant is decent clean, but i notice that they don't disentfect the menus table, chairs and their chop sticks and soup spoons any can grab them from the table that you are seating on. The restrooms are clean "atleast the men's".

This spot is a gem. Food was absolutely delicious. Panang Curry was out of this world. I get duck every chance I get and they were happy to substitute it in for me. The family that runs the restaurant were SUPER friendly and kind. Thanks again!

Love the food here
Keep coming back

The food was excellent the so was the service. We were impressed

Great food good prices. Family owned.

Ordered for pick up. Packaged perfectly. Food was excellent. The team was excellent with their customer service as well. Thank you Thai Cuisine.

Very authentic Thai food, all dishes are superb. Drop by after the Yosemite trip, very positive surprise 🫢

Amazing Thai cuisine. Highly recommend

Best place in Merced County to get your Pho Noodle Soup. 1 year later, 10/10/2024. Still the best pho in Merced

I want to order to dines in and I stand in the restaurant forever. Finally the girl from the kitchen ask me “ what do you want “ very in polite. Very bad service.

Not as tasty as Thai food I have had.

This spot is a gem. Food was absolutely delicious. Panang Curry was out of this world. I get duck every chance I get and they were happy to substitute it in for me. The family that runs the restaurant were SUPER friendly and kind. Thanks again!

Thai tea is good but not exactly good for you

作為優勝美地與舊金山之間的中停點，查到Merced有好多家泰菜就嘗試了一下，口味還不錯，但份量比預期的大，點3份Pad Thai + 1份綠咖哩、沙拉、炸雞翅，有點太多，口味很不錯，最推薦混合口味的，同時有雞肉、蝦子、海鮮，本來期待泰國炸雞翅，但表現中等。

Horrible customer service. Say they close at 8pm. Don’t go and try to dine in after 7pm.. they will not serve you..

With 1 hour to go before shutdown we were turned away. Very sad. Saturday night and this place closes at 8:30 PM - it just doesn't make sense why these type of restaurants close so early on the weekend. I'd think they'd want to maximize their business, oh well, my daughter and I will find a place where our business is appreciated.

This is one of my top Pho places in Merced. The broths flavorful the portion size is good. The service is great. The menu has good options. I recommend to eat the Duck pho with egg noodle or the drunken noodle. And a coffee or thai tea to drink.

Delicious 😋 fast service 😋

Best place to get some great Pho! service is fast and friendly! Been coming here almost every other weekend, my girlfriend loves their beef pho!

Had the combo pho bowl! Always a great choice!

Great food great service good pricing lots of variety it will come hot if you want it hot great experience thank you

저(한국인)의 입맛에는 겁나 짜요.

The food was excellent. I had the yellow curry with chicken. Unfortunately, they were out of mangos so I was not able to try their mango sticky rice.

Good food 👍😎👌

Cucina thailandese piatto tradizionale ( noodles con pollo e gamberi) in locale elegante ben arredato e ornato da piante di sansevierie in serie. Servizio rapido.

Small place, great food, friendly service.

G’Day! We’re travelers from Sydney passing through to San Francisco from Yosemite. Great to have some Asian cuisine after a week of burgers and fries! Pad Thai was good and saucy. Service was pleasant, quick and food was fresh. Thanks for the traveling tips too! Wishing you all the best!

Soooo tasty!
This was some of thee best Thai food I've had outside of Bangkok!
I ordered Basil mussels, Papaya salad and the spring rolls. Drinks included thai tea (very refreshing) and the mango smoothie, (which tasted like i was drinking the epitome of the perfect summer mango... I'm not kidding!) Everything was unexpectedly VERY GOOD. My mom ordered the half duck, that was obviously not their best dish, but everything else was superb. 😋

I'd definitely come back!

Great service

Loved the food. This was an impromptu stop on the way to Yosemite national park and we really loved the food.

Green curry was soo good. Me and my wife were returning from Yosemite and stop by before heading back to the Bay Area. Thai milk tea was delicious too.

Very nice people food was fantastic

Loved the lemongrass soupy noodles. The quantity can feed 3 people. It's the best I've ever had

Amazing and authentic! Service is great!

It looks like a dive but the food is tasty. Additional Charges for rice on bill were a surprise.

Amazing fresh food with great vegetables and produce. Super customer service too!

Fun place to stop on our way south. Great food.

Pretty good service, and the food is REALLY REALLY YUMMY!!! this fried calamari is good 🤤🤤🤤 10/10 would eat here again

Fresh food and it was done fairly quickly from when I placed an order in-restaurant for takeout.

Excelente comida auténtica thailandesa
Gran variedad de platillos deliciosos
Servicio de primera
Lo recomiendo al 100 BRAVO

Muy rica comida. Definitivamente un nuevo lugar de los pocos que me an gustado aqui en merced muy amable la mesera exelente servicio precios razonables

Food is not worth the amount that you were charged..

Hadn't been in for years and been back twice this week best pho and tom ka soup& great service..

Unimpressive on the outside but a gem on the inside! Beautiful artwork, awesome staff and food to die for! Decent prices too. I will go back year after year for their chicken panang! You must try!!!

Sweet, simple place , with great food

Great taste and service! Family friendly too!

Buen lugar

Everything about this place is excellent its hard to find anything bad about it, the price is fair for all the food you get. Large food togo boxes full tobthe top, great staff great atmosphere! High-quality food , really recommended!

We were traveling though CA to go back home to AZ and felt like Thai food. I used Google maps and found this place. So worth the stop. Excellent Pad Thai, spring rolls and Mango Rice. The mangos were absolutely perfect! This is one happy girl.

Fantastic traditional Thai food. Super friendly and the food is awesome.

Make sure you order some sweet sticky Mango rice 🍚 😋

Best Thai food never disappoints me..I always try basil fried rice with an appetizer of crispy chicken the best ..their curry are also amazing..

Ordered takeout, waitress was very very polite, dropped my drink on the ground outside and they may me a new one free, very nice people, very good food

Good food and moderately priced.

Perfectly spiced panang curry. Family-owned and operated.

Un agradable sabor en la comida. Es recomendable 👏👏

Great food and service.

Large portions of great food! We got the Thai fried rice, panang curry, and the combination noodle soup. Highly recommend all 3 dishes

I’ve called 8 times in the past 15 minutes and they never answer.

The staff was very kind and helpful. The food tasted very good! My wife and I are from a different state and would definitely return if I was back vacationing.

Delicious! Portions are on the smaller side though. The barbecue chicken wasn’t what we thought. Seemed like satay chicken but delicious regardless. The sweet sticky rice with mango was so yummy. But definitely pricey for the portion size. Fresh taste for sure!

Ordered pad Thai.. it was enough for two persons..

Super delicious 😋

I ordered one shrimp Tom Yum. It was good. It was definitely on the sour side. I would have liked a bit more shrimp considering the size and price of the item.

This place is BOMB! Just visited for the first time and the food was amazing I got the orange chicken and chow-mein and by far the best flavor food I’ve tested from all Thai cuisine places I’ve tried you guys have to come and check it out!

What a great day for soup. Had Thai combo noodle soup. It hit the spot. Cost around $15. I recommend this place. The place is very small and can fill up easily. My first time there it was full and then stayed about 70-80 percent full. It has about 7 spots for 4 people each and 1 table for two (my seat). 02/11/22 Had another bowl of noodle soup, good, not as crowded today.

The chicken chowmein was amazing! The Thai iced too is nice and sweet! The egg rolls and the sauce that comes with them was delicious! You can't go wrong with this place. The flavor is here.

Delicious!

Ordered pad kra pao with pork and I got something completely unexpected. I asked for it to be made spicy and it was complete white people mild, zero spice whatsoever. Pad kra pao is supposed to have Thai chili peppers but there were only bell peppers. Very disappointing. The stir fry was very soupy and the rice was served on the side instead of the stir fry being served on top of the rice. The dish tasted fine after I put 6 scoops of chili garlic sauce on top... until I found a hair in my food. Workers in the kitchen were not wearing hats or hair nets.

Rated 2 stars instead of 1 because the waitress was nice and didn't charge for the food. Will not be returning though. Do not recommend, this is not authentic Thai food in any way this is very much an American Thai style.

Food on point end good flavors excellent price 👌

Alright, not fast but the food was good

Overall, we will be back. The only thing I would recommend is a half size larger portion on the curry.

See you soon Thai Cuisine!

Ordered the grilled salmon and it was phenomenal! Will definitely order this dish again! 😁

They refused my service dog!!

Best thai food I've had since Thailand. It is a little ghetto around the place....I wouldn't have felt safe by myself with kids, but I was with my tall husband. We got pad thai, pad sew ew, and green curry. We also had fried spring rolls which were great!

Great food with good spice and portions!

Todo está muy rico y está todo muy fresco te lo consina en es mismo rato 💯👍

Absolutely delicious and the ladies are always so nice. Love it!

Food is great just it's a small place .

Very fun and delicious 😋

very delicious food 🍱😋

Nice lunch with great friends.

Strong disappointment after reading some rave reviews.. Soo it’s ok good to satisfy Thai cravings since nothing much around here within 5 minutes drive. BuT the thing is... the food is American “Thai” not real Thai..
pad see ew was .. umm eww bla😝 where’s the eggs cooked into the noodles..
I mean it’s eatable but not “Pad see Eu with beef”
Ordered lemongrass soup Tom Yum (after talking to the girl, said ok no coconut today.. & thought she heard me 😡 I mean occasionally I’ll have Tom kha but rarely. I’ve always like Tom yum first.. and tonight I want the spice of red not with coconut milk) I mean it’s ok soups, not great but would’ve been better if I got what I asked for.. and there was some salty msg or something after taste I don’t like.. 🥴 oh well. Oh well they can only survive &do so to us travelers who will never return anyways.

Excellent food .

Food was delicious.

Delicious

I came here about ten years ago, and the food was excellent. I really wish the old owners would return. I ordered egg rolls. Totally the wrong flavor. I can't really describe how they tasted, but it wasn't pleasant. Tasted kind of like fishy. I don't think there was anything unsafe, just a little odd. I ordered Larb Na. Supposed to be extra wide noodles with a protein (I got chicken) and a flavorful Thai gravy. First, no gravy. Second, no veges, third, chicken was mushy. I mean really mushy, with an unpleasant flavor. No spiciness either. They gave me a big container of soup that I didn't. Order, and I think that might have been the gravy, veges, and chicken for the Larb Na. If that was the case, it wouldn't have been very good. Funny thing is, the soup was the best thing I got. Seriously, on it's own, it was very good, but not very Thai. Zero spiciness. I also ordered Red Curry soup for my brother. It smells great! Haven't tried it, because it is my brother's. I don't expect to return to this place. The disappointment was strong tonite.

Food is alright, but the wait time is horrible.

Good food. Need to improve the looks of the restaurant

Best Pho in Merced!!! Service is fast and friendly. Love this place

Pinaple fried rice used amazing i can't even explain how hard it is to find good pinaple friend rice. Love this place ..

Bomb!

My favorite Thai place in the valley! I always try to make a stop if I’m in the area! Everything I have ever ordered is fresh & so tasty!

We had ordered Thai tea and pho combination with a side of spring rolls, we enjoyed all of it great fast service .

Excellent food with great service.

Horrible service last time I went i had to ask for for a refill twice at the register because the waitress wouldnt check n see if we needed anything..the food was great but the service made me not wanna go again

Food is good

Good food

Excellent traditional Thai food and flavor! Daily specials are a great way to try different recipes and we have not been disappointed! This is one of our "go to" places for Thai food.

Food was delicious! Especially the pineapple fried rice!

the original Thai rest. in Merced, very close to freeway ramp. slightly dated, could do with a facelift. pot stickers, spring rolls, egg rolls.fried calamari, fish, chicken ,pork and vegetarian items,. service is prompt,

We all enjoyed our dishes- asparagus tofu, yellow chicken curry, beef pad Thai and duck noodle soup. Flavor and presentation. Service was great, as well. The only odd thing, we didn't see a beverage menu listing and had to ask about drinks.

Excellent food and service

Really good Pad Keep Mow so flavorful. Great prices.

Fantastic food great staff.... clean

Good food.

Yummy food and good amount of food in plate

The food is so good! I love the Orange chicken, spring rolls, and a lot of other dishes. The staff are so sweet and nice.

Great food, really quick and an awesome lunch menu that is very affordable. Google says $$ but it's really a $!

Great thai food

We were suspicious because the dishes looked like Americanized Thai food but they tasted surprisingly good.

Hands down the best place for broccoli and beef.

Shrimp Pad Thai.... So yummy...
