“This place is so cute and has a very nostalgic vibe. Food is 10/10 and the employees were very kind”
“This was such a charming place to eat. Crab rangoon actually tasted like crab. And the Yoki Soba was delicious and fresh tasting.”
“I came here with my mom today for lunch, and we were both pleasantly surprised. We liked the cute atmosphere ,the cleanliness, and most importantly, the food!!! We got the lunch specials! It includes an appetizer/soup/main meal. It was a great price for great food!!! We will definitely be back here again soon.”
“Definitely recommend this place! Nice service, quick to bring out food, lunch special serves a good portion, and the food was delicious. I got the Singapore Beef Noodles, which that day came with soup and a vegetable roll. I recommend the Thai Tea as well so accompany your food. Will come again soon!! Update: I come here VERY often and I still have never gotten bored. Soups, Rice Dishes, Noodles and Appetizers are all delicious. I dine in, take out and order delivery all the time from here, and I've never been disappointed. Basil Fried Rice, Yaki Soba, Kee Mao, Kung Pao Chicken, and Thai Tea Bubble Teas are my favorite here. Also, the Chicken Rice or Noodle Soup. Curry Puffs, Veggie Rolls, and Fried Wontons are go to appetizers. I bring everyone here!”
“Food was ok. Went around 5:00 on a Friday. Service was fine. Chicken Satay was actually really good. Ordered Red Curry , Garlic Chicken , chicken Satay , and edamame. Curry flavor wasn’t very strong. But the Chicken Satay was tasteful and it was great. Garlic chicken flavor wasn’t strong either.”
“Nice Thai owned restaurant with a good variety of selections. Wife was excited to see Yen ta fo on the menu, but it did not live up to her expectations. Not like Thailand and not very spicy. I enjoyed my Yaki Soba very much and would get it again for sure. Also tried the Curry puffs, which i have never had before. The pastry was very good but the curry flavor was not strong. I understand many menu items are often modified for the American taste buds, but when we go out for Thai, we always hope for all flavor. Overall a great place to have a meal. Good clean restaurant with friendly staff and good food.”
“Warning - inedible food & rude customer service. I placed an order for Pad Thai for my wife, and she found a very large piece of egg shell in her dish. I called New Pot to ask for a refund. Instead of refunding for the dish, they asked me to drive back for my refund. I’ll be promptly processing a charge back.”
“One of my hot spots to enjoy a night out because the settings is wonderful to look at or to take home comfort foods. Never disappointed due to great service & the abundance of delicious menus. Excited to return again.”
“The food was delicious, especially the pho!!! Super fast and nice service!”
“I picked up 2 orders of fresh spring rolls today that I was craving and they were delicious and the best I’ve ever had so wanted to leave a review. The sauce they served it with was also delicious and different than I’ve had elsewhere. I also appreciated that the sauce was gluten free, as most places it is not. I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.”
