Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. The lunch special was out of this world and very flavorful. Got the garlic pork and yellow beef curry. Garlic pork had so much flavor and the beef curry was well balanced with spice.

Friendly and attentive service. Even wrapped the food I ordered while waiting for my lunch mate (hence the plastic wrap in the photo). Food was excellent. Reasonably priced. Two entree lunch combo is a ton of food. Can make dishes vegan upon request. Can’t wait to go back and try more menu items!

Food was delicious. Tofu appetizer is highly recommended and Pad Thai with tofu was also superb. Will visit again when in town.

I ordered from their lunch combo menu and got pad Thai along with spicy basil with chicken and requested no rice with coconut soup. The coconut soup had a delicious sweet and savory taste to it! Their pad Thai wasn’t spicy (wished I asked to put some spice in it), but it was sweet, savory and sour! The spicy basil with chicken was bursting with flavor (as you can see from the dark colors)! Overall very delicious!

I ordered spicy and the food had very little flavor. Also was over cooked. Would not recommend. I had the pad sew ew with chicken. The veggie spring rolls were fine.

Live half block away from Vanida Thai. I used to frequently order from them and pick up the food as I walk my dog. However, not sure if there is an ownership change or they hired new employees, the food have not been as good and the service is not as friendly as before. Like i said earlier, i generally would pick up the food as i walk my dog. When i pick up the food, I generally would stand by the entrance and let the know I am pick up the food. The waitress would just ask if I am picking up and then dump the food by the table or counter and walk away without saying thank you or hand over the food to me directly. I generally would not care as much, but the way how the employee acted, it feel like i am a hassle for them.

A sunset GEM. Take yourself here and order these dishes. You will not regret it and you will be back again and again and again!

Rosemarie Dias

We enjoy the excellent curries here but the rest including the spicy basil chicken is oversalted while pad thai was oversweetened. Hot tea is lukewarm at best.

Food was alright. The beef noodle soup was alright. Not amazing. The calamari was chewy and not fried too crispy
