For the last year I've been going to different pad Thai places around in the San Joaquin valley. This pad thai was something special. It was really tasty. Now I'm no food expert but I am a professional fat ass. I feel bad I didn't take a picture because it looks so good and I ate it so quickly. No lie I almost licked the plate clean but there were people in the building. Food came out quickly. I also really like the three different chili selections they had on the table. Four including Sriracha. That dry chili flake powder is nothing to play with. It is not there to make friends. I will be back to try something else next time I visit Merced.

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.

This hole in the wall gem is now one of our favorite places to stop when we’re passing through, which is often. Food is very fresh and delicious. Our server greeted us with a smile and immediately attended to us. I highly recommend this place.

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!

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!

This is the most amazing place I’ve ever eaten at. It was my first time trying Thai food and it was the most pleasant and delicious experience, the server was absolutely kind. Ps. Try the mango sticky rice !!

Jenni H.

Probably the best Tai food in Merced along with tai cuisine 2 , with fresh veggies and lots of color in their dishes. The ladies that work there are friendly. My favorites are Pad see ew, Pinapple fried rice, chicken satay, and fresh spring rolls. That’s enough food for 3-4 people and it came out to 60$
