Pad Thai - Lemoore, California

Do NOT recommend! Very Americanized, Non traditional Thai food. Tip: If you don't see any asians eating at an Asian restaurant, its very likely not very good. People in Lemoore rating this place 4.7 stars have never been anywhere else with good thai food. I understand its a small town and this is all they have but this place is a disgrace to all southeastern asian people. The service was super slow! Took almost an hour to get my papaya salad and it wasn't even that busy in the dining area. However they were popping out take-outs like crazy. They also served two other tables with their food before us even though we had ordered first and all we ordered were salads! They also don't have Sticky Rice! What southeastern asian restaurant don't? When I finally got my papaya salad, almost an hour later, it was absolutely watered down, had hardly any seasoning nor flavor. My spouse's beef steak salad was served way before my salad, and it was very chewy and tough. He didnt get much meat at all in his salad. The meat quality was not very good. We also ordered chicken larb to go which was very watery. Surprisingly the larb wasnt that bad but it was unusually sweet than most larb dishes im used to. Other peoples food look dry as heck. The big group next to us were literally just quietly pecking at their food. They obviously didnt look like they were enjoying their food either. This place would be shut down if it was in Fresno. The waitress was nice but she didn't know anything about Thai food, even though she works there, so that didn't help either.

The restaurant however was nice and bathrooms were clean. It is located in a decent small shopping plaza that's not too busy.

Overall, I do not recommend this place. Very disappointed. First time and last time there. Thank goodness we're from out of town.

The nice Thai restaurant in Lemoore. We ordered several dishes, coco pork and pineapple fried rice are our favorites. Coco pork tasted really authentic, and the fried rice tasted just like mom's cooking. The portions were generous that we could barely finish anything. Service is also nice, and the staff is friendly.

In my opinion this is the best Thai restaurant in kings county. The food was amazing, the Thai tea was the best I’ve tasted. The service was phenomenal the waitresses here are very friendly and always have a smile on there faces, and the food was made with in minutes you don’t have to wait long. And the atmosphere was so relaxing. I definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone that lives in or around the Lemoore area.

First time coming here and it did not disappoint!Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to talk us through the spice ratings which can differ from restaurant to restaurant. We did a 2 on the chicken pad Thai, and a 3 on the yellow curry with chicken. Both were so delicious with just the perfect amount of spice for our taste. Some might like it a little spicier, but I like just enough spice to give the food flavor and not overpower the dish.

The true test was the Pho though. My husband and kids are Pho snobs so we hardly ever venture outside our usual Pho place. When I asked my 11 year old how’s the Pho she looked at me and said it’s good! I tasted it myself: broth was perfect, noodles were perfect, meatballs were a little more squishy than we are used to. At our usual place, the meatballs are a lot more firm. But the flavor of the meatballs was really good. So overall, the Pho passed the test. They even have chicken nuggets and fries and it was perfect for our 2 year old/7 year old to share. I’d seen good reviews when looking this place up, but being that it’s Thai food and we have picky eaters I wasn’t sure how it would go. I can honestly say that every single one of us enjoyed our food, and that’s not easy to accomplish when you have kids with you.

The restaurant itself appeared to be clean, neat, and orderly, so that was another plus. We would definitely come back if we ever happen to be Lemoore. Service was amazing, atmosphere was nice and clean. Food was 4 out of 5. Had the texture of the meatballs been a little more firm, it would be a 5 out of 5 on the food. Still though, highly recommend 🙂

This has been our go-to place in the area for Thai food, but, unfortunately the last time we went, things were....way off! Looks like they have new menus and they say "we do not use fish sauce or oyster sauce" - I re-read it three times and still couldn't believe it...then, the food came, and, well.... yup, I guess they were right. Trying to cook Thai food without fish sauce or oyster sauce makes about as much sense as trying to bake croissants without butter... They did have some fish sauce on the condiment area, and I added a few spritzes to the Pad Thai and it definitely made an improvement, although, still not as good as it used to be. Guess we'll have to try the places in Hanford...? If the owners or chefs decide to change this recipe policy, by all means leave a reply and I'll give you guys another go, but, until then....

I have been coming here for 5+ years.

While there are a few Thai restaurants in the city that I live, I always make the 10-15 minute drive out to Pad Thai in Lemoore.

The staff are all very personable, friendly & kind.

Of note, Blessy has always greeted me with a smile & has been very kind to interact with. She goes above & beyond in providing great customer service.

Sarika, the owner, is also very nice. She makes it a point to go around the restaurant to make sure that everyone is having a great dining experience.

Lastly, the food is fantastic! I am vegetarian & they have several vegetarian dishes on the menu.

I cannot say enough positive things of Pad Thai.

Best panang curry I have ever had! The staff were also very kind and attentive. Seriously good food, and the owner brought it out to me herself! You don’t see that too often anymore, so it’s much appreciated 😁😁
