I had better Mee goreng and hokkien noodles. The Mee goreng was just fried noodles with tomato sauce and not even close any Mee goreng back in Malaysia.

Diner Review №7

Coming from a picky eater- AMAZING tasting food!

Diner Review №8

Even the pickiest eaters I know loved everything we got on the menu!

Diner Review №9

Amazing Malay and Thai food, we love this place with husband. The tom yum soup is our favorite.

Diner Review №10

The was just okay to complete half of it but not full. It looked colorful but the taste of the basil chicken (pad kra pao) wasn’t there. It felt like chicken and a few veggies in a sauce.
Rice was little hard too.
Wouldn’t come back.

Diner Review №11

Great lunch menu which are reasonably priced but on the smaller side. If you’re hungry I would order straight off the regular menu for a couple bucks more. The green and panang curries are my favorite and the food comes out hot and fast. Definitely part of my rotation when I work in San Ramon

Diner Review №12

Consistently good Thai food! I’ve only tried the fried rice, yellow kari, and red kari but it’s among the best I’ve had! Not the fanciest place ever but if you’re looking for food that tastes great and is fairly priced, I would recommend!

Diner Review №13

Don’t know what happened to the Drunken noodle I ordered for takeout. The container is only half full. The noodle is mushy and tastes disgusting.

Diner Review №14

Has been our go-to Thai takeout for about 3 years here - highly recommend. The basil fried rice is a favorite (pretty massive portion size)!

Diner Review №15

Worst larb I've ever had

Diner Review №16

Halal Thai food in San Ramon

Diner Review №17

Worst Thai restaurant ever visited. Yellow curry chicken is watered down and there is nothing other than chicken pieces and carrots . Tasteless . Roti and curry smelled butter and the curry is bland . Utter disappointment

Diner Review №18

Best menu design I have ever seen. Very explicit, with pictures and emojis. Easy to understand everything. Plus, showing Halal option and how food is prepared on menu is another level!

Diner Review №19

Tom kha is delicious

Green curry was bland- tastes only of bamboo

No mango sticky rice

Larb was salty and without lettuce wraps

Not a great ambiance. But delicious tam kha

It was our first time at this restaurant. The staff was kind, the food came fast, and it was hot and delicious. Definitely going back.

Diner Review №24

Very good food and large portions for pretty cheap prices (in San Ramon especially). Chicken Satay was the best. Pad Thai was fresh and tasty but very bland, but that’s just pad thai.

Diner Review №25

Both our noodle dishes were very burnt and lacked any flavor. When we told the server, she just said ‘sorry’ and did not offer to replace, or remove from bill.

Diner Review №26

More of a take out restaurant, they have seating but will serve you in take out containers even for dine in. The food was a little disappointing, I had the penang eggplant and it tasted quite bland.

Diner Review №27

Ordered beef rendang. Beef is precooked then mixed with sauce, which is fine. The problem is that cooking time is not enough and inside beef is dry and even not warm. Will try other dishes next time.

Diner Review №28

Man I think the elegance of good Thai food just hits different. Only had their pad Thai but it had good balance of chicken/shrimp/green onion/nuts/lemon/bean sprouts and noodles. Wish it had more egg in it cause I think I had 1 bite of egg in total. Also a bit too saucy but that’s more of a personal opinion. Also the order coming out to $15 in San ramon is a fresh take.

Diner Review №29

Always my go to whenever I’m craving Thai food. The service is always excellent and quick. They never fail to disappoint!

Best Thai orange chicken I have ever had. Truly addictively delicious.

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

Our go-to take-out option for halal Thai food. They are quick to prepare meals, prices are reasonable and the taste is consistent.

Khawp khun khap!

Diner Review №39

I have ordered take out food from here several times with no problem with the food or service, however the food quality seems to be a little less than before.
In my previous review I gave them four stars.
Their sister restaurant, Basil delight, is still excellent.

Diner Review №40

As an Asian Resteraunt that specializes in not serving pork it was ok. We ordered Thai themed dishes and while the ingredients were good the seasoning was not up to Thai standards. The tom yum soup has more heat than flavor. The pad Thai was more ketchup than sauce and the shrimp triangles were simply unseasoned shrimp wrapped in phillo pastry and deep fried If not eating pork is important to you this might be fine place to go. If your after Thai food this is not it.

Great food, you can order online or by phone

Diner Review №44

Service was very good and pleasant. Roti Kari was a bit unlike what I'm used to in other Singaporean or Malaysian restaurants where roti is fluffed up. Sauce was fine. Beef Rendang was overly sweet and sauce much more thin than the very thick traditional one. The sweetness was a bit overwhelming. Maybe their Thai food is better.

Diner Review №45

Delicious food. We had Tamarind shrimp and there were lots of shrimp and good size, unlike other places. Rending beef was similar to a beef stew but had interesting fla ors. There were spices that I didn't recognize but all worked well together. Also had fried chicken w beans..Delicious. lastly was Curry Latka...it is a cross between a yummy curry and a soup. Never had these dishes before. Some other reviews grumbled about quality but my party of 4 loved the entire meal. One said it is her new favorite restaurant

Diner Review №46

Really good pineapple fried rice and quick service!

Diner Review №47

The chef cooks super fast… like, Fast and Furious fast. We ordered 3 dish. It took the chef like.. 5-6 minutes? Quality wise, this is the place to go when you crave pineapple fried rice or thai curry and stuff. They offer authentic Thai flavor, coupled with great culinary skills. The price range is quite nice, in Sam Ramon. Tables and utensils are clean. Atmosphere is bright. There’s one room for improvement - it is that the restaurant could benefit from better interior designs… i guess some authentic Thai decorations would do. Like, I would like to feel the Thai Vibe while eating Thai food.

Diner Review №48

Great menu options for vegetarians but specify No Egg and replace egg with tofu (soft if you prefer). Sauces also have vegetarian option without mix of oyster sauce etc. all the items we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. Restaurant was very clean and service was fast and friendly. Felt that the quantity could be a little more.

Diner Review №53

Halal dishes Thai style, very small place but tasty food

Diner Review №54

We used to go all the way to fremont for Thai (halal) food! I’m so glad to have a good Thai place closeby. I enjoy their pad Thai, sweet and sour chicken, wide noodles dishes. I feel it could use a bit extra seasoning but the food is always fresh. I love their portion sizes too!. We take out and their service is super quick and friendly! I would absolutely recommend it. If you like spicy, ask for more!

Diner Review №55

Excellent and delicious 😋 food. Great service and affordable prices.

Diner Review №56

I don't recommend Pad Thai here. It was taste like ketchup, far away from the authentic taste.

Diner Review №57

Stale food and yekky smell. All 4items felt the same and fish cakes are the worst pungent smell and taste. Food comes out in no time from the time you place order, it also says, nothing is fresh & is prepared well in advance(days) & also the reason why it taste stale. The gal serving has no answer and questioning what I was saying about smelly fish cake. Floor was not clean and tables are sticky for a 12:30pm lunch on a Sunday & we are the only ones there..

I only hope the restaurant would survive for a long time, but the food says me otherwise. Not a $55 for two food. I rushed out with disappointment.

I was wondering why would all 18reviews before this gave 5stars for a new eatery with similar tone and view points, definitely friends and family reviews …don’t be fooled by the reviews, if you eat once you will never go back . Thanks but no thanks 🖖

Diner Review №59

What a find!!! Possibly the best Thai food I have eaten in a simple , clean setting with very friendly service

Diner Review №60

Tasty food and friendly service. Some of the best Malay food I’ve had in a while. Great vegetarian selection. It has a clean and basic ambiance.

Diner Review №61

Food is excellent!

Diner Review №62

It is just like the one in Dublin and Pleasanton, but newer. Definitely worth checking out -- strongly recommend.

Diner Review №63

Family owned resraurant with very friendly service.

Diner Review №64

Best Pad Thai in a 30 mile radius

Diner Review №65

Fantastic food and great service; clean interior as well. The spicy bamboo veggie dish on the left was a perfect level of spice and packed with veggies. The pad Thai on the right was perhaps some of the best I’ve ever had - the noodles were wet enough with sauce that every bite was flavorful and I love the balance of tamarind sweetness and the fish sauce taste. Prices are also perfectly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Absolutely recommend; amazing new Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №66

Amazing food

Diner Review №67

Wow. I'm a big advocate for Thai food that's what I want when I'm craving, when I don't feel well, when I wanted to introduce someone to new food and this place lived up to everything I wanted I ordered items that I order everywhere as my standard to compare, which included pineapple fried rice and panang and kari. It was amazing it was sweet it was smooth the chicken was cooked perfectly in the fried rice it was good enough where I told everybody else this was our new spot.

Diner Review №68

I absolutely love this place! I have come around 5-6 times now and the food has always been great. They have also been very accommodating about making things vegan for me, which is such a plus! The family is also so nice, totally recommend this place!

Diner Review №69

Good food, really friendly service. Plus if you eat halal/zabihah their chicken and beef are halal.

Diner Review №70

This restaurant is awesome we ordered a bunch of stuff, Pad Thai, the Red Kari, yellow Kari, Pineapple rice and wings. All of it was amazing did not feel heavy at all and our son who had got tired of eating Thai food from the restaurant we used to order from LOVED IT!!!! He wants me to order more tomorrow. This my go to restaurant for Thai food moving forward.

Diner Review №72

It’s not very bad, but in comparison to other Thai places in San Ramon and Danville it’s not too great. Basically taste of everything is super blended, spices are hard to recognise.

Portions are pretty big and filling.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Great addition to the Thai/Malaysian cuisine in San Ramon. I ordered Tom Yum soup and sweet n sour chicken. Both items were fresh and delicious. Portions were great and prices are in line with other area restaurants. 5 stars for this new family owned restaurant.

Diner Review №75

Very delicious authentic Thai food with friendly staff. Best ever !
