  Tasty and generous fried sampler.
  
  Very good fried rice... rice actually tastes fried and not... a gloppy greasy mess.
  
  The pad thai was a bit overdone and was a bit lacking of egg, chicken, or peanuts.  Flavor was good, though.
  
  My main gripe about this place was that service was sooooo slow.  We walked in a bit after 5 PM and didn't see any food come until 5:40, not even the appetizer, and the drinks took 20+ minutes to show up. Compared to pretty much every other Thai place I've ever been to, that is like molasses.  I know they had quite a few takeout orders being picked up, but that is no excuse leave your diners waiting for that long.

  Okay, so I went to this local Thai restaurant, located in a bland strip mall, earlier this year, and I thought it was actually pretty strong. Would have given it four stars (1 star off for no alcohol license and small portions - I always wish cheap places would charge one or two dollars more and give larger portions).  The sate is actually very good, and they can split the portion into half beef, half chicken.  I think the beef is a bit chewy, so I prefer the chicken.  The spicy mint leaves (basically spicy basil at other restaurants) was quite decent.
  
  But we went again recently, and the experience was kind of disturbing.  The tables were not cleaned. The chairs were not cleaned.  There was food on the floor from previous customers, sauces on the chairs, and stains all over the tablecloths.  It's kind of gross, and I didn't notice anything like this the first time.  The sate was still okay.  However, the catfish was not great.  And from that dish one person got a tummy ache.  I had the spicy mint again, and I got a tummy ache.  I don't think I'll be going back.  Avoid.

  This informal restaurant serves up a straightforward menu of Thai comfort food in a casual and quiet atmosphere. This snug spot brings out classic standard fare like noodles, curries, and soup. The PAD THAI WITH PORK comes out with thinly fried golden noodles with a touch of home-made flavor, and the SEAFOOD TOM YUM comes furnished with heavy clusters of fish, although the clear broth was slightly mellow and bland.
  
  This suburban neighborhood joint sits right next to a market, with plenty of convenient parking at its lot. The best part along with the patient customer service is the decent selections of lunch items for under $10 with consistent and dependable quality. I'm eyeing a return for the BBQ chicken, perfect in portion for dinner special.

  My mom took me to this place today for an early dinner. We got there at 3:05pm. They have lunch specials until 3pm and then their dinner specials begin after 3pm. We ordered from the dinner specials since there was only 2 of us. If there were more people with us we would of done the family style of ordering several entrees and sides.
  We both had the #2 lunch specials which was the bbq chicken and bbq rib, we choose the fried rice and egg roll along with the soup of the day, tofu soup. The food was served quickly and was very good.
  Will have to come here again when I visit my parents in Temple City and bring at least 2 -4 people to try a variety of items. The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. Customer service was awesome - the server refilled my water about 3-4 times. I highly recommend this Thai place for their great customer service and tasty food.
