Thai and Cambodian food take out or dine in. Our goal is serve classic entrees with the Southeast Asian taste and introduce Cambodian food near you.
The Pad Thai was phenomenal!!! It was the kind that was very well seasoned and didn’t need any additional sauce (like peanut sauce or sweet Thai chili). They weren’t the friendliest but the food was on point! And is bound say they weren’t necessarily rude either. I was passing through but would recommend giving this place a try.
Straight from Convoy!
Really good flavors, not too sweet, tons of fresh vegetables
Nice people
And just like convoy, there’s donuts and bagels that look legit, I’ll be back to get some bagels next week
This is going on my regular lunch rotation
Edit:
Wow, try the Mongolian Beef
They really nailed it
Beef Yum Salad was Beef Yuck!!!
I ordered a beef yum salad a couple weeks ago and it was excellent. I ordered it today and it was absolutely terrible. No flavoring, no cilantro, no onions, no cucumber, no mint. I’m not even sure why they bothered calling it a salad as the only ingredient it appeared that matched the description on the menu was having beef.
It looked and tasted like they used a pre-packaged cabbage mix from a grocery store that had shredded cabbage, carrots and radish, mixed it with precooked beef and reheated them together in a microwave and left it dry without any sauce or dressing and absolutely no fresh salad ingredients.
Not to mention that last time it was in a regular size to-go container, this time it was in a small 5 inch size. For $12 plus tip, a complete waste of money and not even edible.
Savory, sweet, and fresh, with a perfect hint of spice is how I would describe the drunken noodles I've had here. The noodles were cooked perfectly and all the veggies were fresh and crispy. Oh and don't forget to try their Thai iced tea, its really good. Their dishes are consistent and taste authentic.
5/5. It’s absolutely amazing! I Love the all of the food there! Definitely recommend! And the exciting part, the employees are so nice too! Hope this store grows more than ever!
Food was delicious and the portions are large. I ordered beef noodle soup and pad se ew. Both were enough to share with 2 people. The prices are very reasonable. I like the clean and modern atmosphere as well. Service was also fast and very friendly. The menu has a nice selection of items and I will be back to try more items for sure.
This place used to be a go-to for me. The best drunken noodles in the area, fresh and spicy with generous vegetables. And a clean setting with nice smells both from the kitchen and the adjacent donut shop.
Well, now the donut shop is gone and walled off, giving the place a sad and claustrophobic feel. And my last visit for lunch, about six weeks ago, got me an almost inedible mush of old gray noodles and a few limp veggies.
One guy working the kitchen and counter. You definitely get the feeling that this place is going down. Sad.
***EDIT in response to the owner's classy reply below. He appears to have me confused with another customer: one who dines in (I never did), who doesn't like bell pepper (I do), who finished his noodles (I didn't), and who is an "ahole" (I'm not).
But even though he has me mixed up with someone else, I will take his advice and not go back.
I ordered Drunken Noodles online and brought it home. I opened it and.... the food is not freshly cooked. The noodles look like it was cooked yesterday and also, the protein is Tofu. Well, the tofu is there and looked freshly cooked but... after eating it a bit, I realized and suspected, that there was an order for drunken noodles with chicken that was never picked up and put back into the container of drunken noodles. I was finding pieces of over cooked felled apart chicken in the food. Overcooked noodles and old chicken meat.... double yuck! I couldn't eat it and threw it away. I will never go back.

Some of the best Thai curry I have ever had! I absolutely love this places food, my only complaint is the drinks can be a little too sweet if you order the tea's but maybe that's just me haha.
Amazing food
so good thanks for your attention and help
Order was not fulfilled correctly, even though ordered online. Wife found sharp plastic shard in food, will not be ordering from again, ever.
Went in there to get some donuts late night. The guy was really friendly. I had a good conversation with him.
I came in to get a dish called Todd Munn - spicy fish cake and they had no idea what I was talking about. Luckily for us, they also have a bakery and bakery had a crazy good assortment of all kinds of donuts and pastries. To make up for not having spicy fish cake, we got some pastry items which were absolutely delicious. So - I'm not sure how good the Thai food is, but the pastry and donut and is superb!
Good food. High prices!
Asian ppl
Its ok. Food was definitely fresh and clean
Portions were generous
Fun! The food was good....service great. My Family and I had a great time. 👍
We ordered noodles with house meat added. Delicious 😋😋
Waited 35 mins for some egg rolls and another item.
I gave it 5 stars for two reasons: 1) the food was really taste and 2) the lady that took my order was the nicest think. I mean her English was terrible but i could see and feel how nice she was. She was so friendly with all her suggestions. I wanted to buy everything! I definitely plan to become a regular at this place. I got the Mango Cury... WOW! SO GOOD!
Very clean environment. Super freindly and food is cooked fresh.
This is a must try!!! It will quickly be added to your list of favorite spots!
Best Beef Pad Thai I have found since living in San Diego. Food was super fresh, hot and owner was super friendly. Good price for portion sizes. I've found my go-to Thai spot

Best Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle in the area.
Great curries! Fresh and great tasting. The brown rice is incredible. Prices are very reasonable. Our family's favorite thing is that we can get pizza or donuts for my son who is a picky eater while we get the Thai food we love! They don't care if we bring in Little Caesars from next door and they also own the donut and bagel shop which is also incredible. They make the donuts and bagels fresh and they are better by far than Dunkin or Krispy Kreme.
Accepted my 4 item Uber Eats order an hour before they closed. ETA for delivery to me was supposed to be 30 to 40 minutes, so I thought there would be plenty of time. Delayed my order again and again and again for the whole hour, and then cancelled my order right at their closing time. If you weren't going to be able to make the food, why accept the order in the first place?
I don't understand why Asian Kitchen is not doing more business a Noon on a Saturday afternoon.
Memorable-As I walked in the cleanliness was impressive. The second impression was is the open space for seating and there was no wall between Asian Kitchen and the Bagel place which was just as immaculate.
Ordering the food is quick and easy with the food prepared quickly and brought to the table very hot (temperature).
I had the Tofu with vegetables and an order of egg rolls. The Tofu was delicious and the vegetables were cook to perfection. The sauce had the right spicy-ness that made you want more because the flavors were combined just right. The eggrolls (chicken) were flavorful and the Chili Sweet and Sour sauce was a delight.
Short story - I will go back to Asian Kitchen many times.
Sooo Good

I ordered at this place and said no spicy she said ok I’ll do number 2 I said I can’t do spicy at all she said ok number 2 is ok. So I get home and it is so spicy I can’t eat it, when I called they said they would remake it but I live 30 miles away they would not give my money back and they wouldn’t let me come back on another day to get it replaced I definitely won’t be back to this restaurant!!!!!
I've been here three times now and the food is always excellent and fresh. Service is great and staff is friendly. Definitely recommend!
Savory, sweet, and fresh, with a perfect hint of spice is how I would describe the drunken noodles I've had here. The noodles were cooked perfectly and all the veggies were fresh and crispy. Oh and don't forget to try their Thai iced tea, its really good. Their dishes are consistent and taste authentic.
I cant stand cilantro, it's in everything here. Even the wonton soup. Fried rice was awful. Wont be back.
Food is delicious! Tried the Pad Kra Proa chicken and it's amazing! Also tried their mango sticky rice and basil chicken. 👍👍👍
Highly overpriced.... I feel ripped off for the amount charged by what i got..sadly I will not return in the future.
Absolutely wonderful people and amazing food! I’m excited to go back and try the other curry dishes too
Food is amazing, staff is friendly... we can’t wait to come back!!
Good authentic taste! Very good wok hei.
This place actually has pretty delicious food.. The reason I am giving it a 3 star is because I called to let them know that I ordered curry and it was supposed to come with white rice, and they did not give me the rice. I gave them my name and number and was told someone would reach out to me and that didn’t happen. I was really really disappointed because this happened to be a night that my power was out for 12 hours so I had no way of cooking my own white rice.. it’s unfortunate, but I may return.
