4 stars for the crew because I mostly order take out here and have nothing bad to say about the people. However,

The food is the most bland of this cuisine I’ve ever had. I stopped going here it was so bland, but try it every few months to see if it’s changed.

Can confirm it hasn’t. I ordered the spicy fried rice dish but I’m not sure if they gave me fried rice or white rice with things mixed in. That’s not really a joke either. Not even a little flavor and I mean seriously none. The carrots are the most flavorful part. Absurd for a restaurant to serve food like this, it’s not even bad quality that seems fine, just bland beyond compression. Order here if you don’t care what your food tastes like.

Pad Thai and wonton cheese wrap for appetizers met up to my husband's standard. My Bangkok noodles were great and very flavorful while my Wonton soup for takeout was tasteless. I ordered wonton soup for dinner because of the cold weather. However, as soon as I saw an advertised Bangkok noodle soup picture on the table next to us, I decided to save Wonton soup for my next day's breakfast to try that Bangkok noodle bowl.
I mentioned it to the server, but he didn't reply a word so I guess it is how their wonton soup is supposed to taste like water instead of flavorful broth. 🤔
Atmosphere: small, clean, neat and well decorated restaurant space, but the room was cold. Without the hot soup to warm me up, I won't be able to stay.

This was my second visit - my first wasn’t memorable so I thought I’d give it another try. It is a nice space and is clean. Service was fine, I liked that the menu is short and sweet.

I ordered the tofu drunken noodles and was extremely disappointed with how little noodles I actually got. They came on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes (?) that just didn’t go very well. I don’t think I’d return again was pretty disappointed.

Had the spicy eggplant with brown rice. It was a little sweet and not very spicy - I added some chilis and it was much better. Altogether a pleasant experience. I would come back but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

The food was very good, and the service was very nice. I had an allergy problem, and they were so kind in correcting the problem, even though it wasn’t their fault. The presentation of the sizzling chicken was also very impressive!

The Bangkok noodle was amazing—loaded with minced chicken, sliced lean pork, and crispy wonton skin. The flavors were spot-on and perfectly balanced. We also tried the tofu drunken noodle and were pleasantly surprised by how chewy the noodles were. Definitely coming back next time we are in the area!

Golf owns two restaurants. They are both wonderful. We go to this one so we can say hello to him. It is clean, and the service is fast. Food is delicious and consistent.
