Customer Reviews
Thai restaurants are my one of my favorite food, I have this place a try and the BBQ chicken is well served and presented. The flavors are good however the meat was a bit dried. Is hard to find a good Thai restaurant and it’s the reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Otherwise the place is very clean and has good customer service.
Don't waste your time going here. I ordered through the website to pickup and when I got there at the time stated to pick up, my food was not ready because they never got my order. Thankfully they began my order after I showed them my online receipt, but that was strike 1. After about 15 mins I picked up my food and went home. The food itself was bland, the ingredients were stale and dry and for the price it does not match, strike 2. The final tipping point was finding hair in my food. Strike 3 and I'm done. Eat here at your own risk, I never will.
Sadly this place has not been what it used to be. Used to be packed and really good. Kept increasing prices and now their food is a hard pass for lunch. $20 for a lunch special isn't easy to afford. It's decent food but the prices are just high.
I really enjoy little hole in the wall family restaurants. This little gem is tucked away in a large town center behind El Pollo Loco off Imperial Hwy and Kraemer. Not a lot of Thai restaurants make great Paw kra Pow minced chicken style mint leaf with basil. I must say, it was very enjoyable and tasty. Perfect amount of spice and heat. Added with soft Jasmin rice. Very well prepared. Now, why the 3 stars you say? Well, my wife ordered Chicken Pad Sew yu. The noodles and chicken were cooked but unfortunately, the broccoli was frozen and cold. Not sure how this was missed or even cooked in a hot fire wok? I believe it was taken out of the freezer, drained in cold water to thaw out and then microwave. We had to send the dish back to get it warmed up. Not the waitress fault. She was very nice
Got takeout from Thai Specialty and received two items, here is a breakdown: Pad Thai w/ Tofu: the pad thai here is good but not great. If you’re in the mood for pad Thai in this area it will get the job done, but there are definitely better around. Chicken Satay: this was my favorite of the two dishes. Flavorful and moist chicken skewers with a peanut dipping sauce. The peanut sauce was rich and delicious and went well with the chicken. Overall, this is a solid restaurant for Thai, it won’t blow you away but it will get the job done. The service was fast and efficient.
