What Clients Say

We found a really great Thai restaurant with unique and interesting dishes. The owner was incredibly kind—after our trip to Yosemite National Park, we were almost late getting back to town. I called to ask if he could wait for us because we were starving, and he kindly did. Thank you so much for your generosity!

This has been my go to place! I’ve tried many places in Merced that serve pho and although many are good, their pho broth will always be my favorite! Also this is the best place for pad Thai hands down:) I introduced my coworkers to this spot and it’s our go to place for lunch outings. We always get a plate of orange chicken, egg rolls, chicken fried rice and chow mein. Always hits the spot! Great service and great food.

Food and service here is on point!! So delicious and the portions are big. An order of Pad Thai can feed at least 3 people. Definitely will be eating here more often!

Their food tastes good. Service is great. They're consistent, fast, and one of the best Asian restaurants in town. Note: this dish does not normally come with an egg.

The food here was excellent, with a kick of spice. Be careful what you ask for. Spice means spice. The curry fried rice is a great option from this restaurant.
