Pad See Iew is my favorite. It's fresh flat noodles, beef, flat rice noodles, egg, chinese broccoli and chili garlic. 👌🏻
This place is amazing plain and simple. Tried the beef pad see and WOW. Beef was marinated so well and bursting with flavors.
The Crispy Caramelized Pork Belly is a meal, not an "appetizer"and also the best plate $9 can buy. The ordering system is awkward to two separate lines from two separate entrances.
You don't have to go by the menu. You can order Thai rice with shrimp or pad Thai with chicken if you feel like it.
SivyaleahFebruary 20, 2012They are still ironing out kinks here. Made to order dishes better than daily specials; those tend to be generic & not kept as warm as they should be. The pork belly appetizer is to die for!
Emily ButlerJune 23, 2014Good basil chicken and Thai beef salad, and the fresh shrimp rolls are great. Just don't go/order on Sundays. The food isn't fresh.
Nation's Restaurant NewsDecember 13, 2013Chef Preyanet Pongsuwan uses shredded green papaya instead of noodles for this non-traditional pad Thai. Read more
- Chicken fried rice, shrimp pad Thai and their dumpling soup are delicious! Love the music
Pho Bo, BBQ Steak Vermicelli Noodles, Meatball Soup, Thai Chicken Fried Rice.
At lunchtime, I order the eggplant/mock duck & whatever the daily special. It's always something delicious.
Beef pad see iew, best so far. A good quality meal :)
Vermicelli noodles with marinated chicken cannot be beat!
Jean 💜June 4, 2013Obao is recovered from Sandy mayhem and back in business! Menu looks about the same.
Jon LeeFebruary 28, 2012Overpriced pho. Eating it out of the plastic takeout bucket is always problematic. A bit pricey a well.
Jen EmanuelSeptember 13, 2012Nothing special about this ridiculously over priced joint. Dunno why I keep going back. Maybe just because of the convenience (I guess...).
