"It's mostly pretty good food. But the portions are very small compared to other places. Especially for the price. Wonton soup bowl only had 4 wontons.

"I can't seem to get enough of their food! The 21. Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) is absolutely delicious! I prefer mine without vegetables, extra chicken and spicy. The Sabaidee short riblets are so delicious but I wish I could order them as an entire entree because the flavor is awesome but I just want more meat!! I've tried their Sabaidee wings and they're good but not quite as good as the riblets. We will definitely continue ordering from them! Oh, one more thing...I really wish they would add Chicken Satay to their menu because that's the only thing that I feel like they're missing."
"The 11. Drunken Noodles ( Pad Kee Mow ) were some of the best we ever had! Absolutely delicious and it was piping hot! There were large pieces of chicken and lots of wide noodles.

The rice is never cooked all the way, the last time it was hard as if not even cooked and this time I even requested quinoa instead of rice but still got rice. Most of the bowl is rice, instead of the other ingredients. Definitely not worth $20 for the Fiesta Bowl."
