I went here with a few co-workers the other day. Literally waited 45 minutes for our food, and nothing arrived. So we had to go up to the hostess/owner and ask about our order. He proceeded to go back to the kitchen to "check on it" and came back to our table to ask if he could take our order again & that it would be ready in 5 minutes. He offered no apologies or discount on our food. Therefore, we just left because you only have a hour lunch break maximum during the work week. Very inconsiderate and poor customer service. I'm sorry there are only 10 tables in the entire restaurant, I think you should be able to tell if someone hasn't be served after 45 minutes. Never going back there again, even if the food is amazing.

Cute little restaurant in a strip mall along a busy stretch of York Road. The Thai food is what I've historically ordered here, so I cannot comment on the sushi. Curries are made the way I like them here, which is to say brothy and rich, and the flavors are always very good. Yesterday I had the ginger with chicken, and it was delicious...very fresh veggies and chicken that was not over cooked in a light broth redolent with fresh ginger. Doug had the basil with chicken and proclaimed it very yummy, although he said I ought to have ordered another entire entree for him, as the lunch portions are small. That is my one complaint, and why I did not go with 4 stars for this place. I have sat down and ordered dinner in, and service is good and portions are generous, so that may be the better value.

(03/03/2011) Nice little Thai place in the County; it's in the usual rotation, so have been several times. A watermark dish for me for any Thai place is the Tod Mun Pla (fish/shrimp cakes). These were tasty and well seasoned, but a little on the overdone and chewy side. This time, went for something different for entree (usuals are drunken noodles or basil stir fry), the "Spicy Eggplant", $16.95 -- which is not just eggplant, but also carrots, zucchini, green beans, bell peppers, onion, ground pork, shrimp and basil stir fried. The dish came to the table and the first thing you notice is the fragrance: basil, fish sauce, wok hay, peppers. The shrimp were plump and not over cooked at all, the Japanese eggplant sections were silky soft but not mushy, and the vegetables were crisp-tender. Overall, the dish was a little salty (there's a heavy hand with the soy sauce in the kitchen for everything), but was a nice complement to some steamed white rice. It's evident someone takes care in the kitchen (the carefully hand cut vegetable flowers, for example). The price is a little on the high side, but the quality is high, as well. The dining room is small, almost like being at your aunt's house, and the service is not professional, but it is friendly and genuine (seems like a family run place). A lot of people enjoy the sushi, but we're still working our way through the Thai menu; some interesting things you don't see at other places. We'll def be back. UPDATE: (05/13/2011) Tried the "Dancing Duck" (Gang Ped Ped Yang, Red Curry Duck), crispy, deep-fried, boneless half-duck slice with red curry sauce, pineapple, chickpeas, bell peppers, basil. The crispness of the duck was surprising, the duck meat was tender, sauce was as usual, a little on the salty side, but lovely curry, coconut and basil flavors with a little bit of heat.

Good Thai food. Service is not bad, it's just done in a typical asian style. Efficient, quick, and no warm and fuzzy stuff. = )

Fuji San is a hidden gem in Cockeysville. Great Thai food & huge portions for a decent price. They have great spring rolls, Pad Thai, and Drunken noodles. Their curry is a hit or miss. We went once during dinner and the curry was excellent. The next time we went back during lunch and the curry was more of a soup consistency and very watery. I will cut them some slack though since we came shortly after they opened. However, minus one star due to the server. The employee who acts as the main server always seems to be in a bad mood. He is impolite and just comes across as bored/rude. The younger host/server is much better, polite, & friendly. If only he remained our server rather than the older gentleman. Piece of advice: stick with takeout.
(4)Piyumi R.
I only gave 4 stars for the amazing food and Thai ice tea I get from the place but the service is not so good. Who cares about the service when u can takeout fantastic Thai food?! I've been looking for a good Thai place in Cockeysville area for many year and I have to say I found it. I have also tried their sushi which is also good. You can probably find fresh sushi somewhere else, for me, I think it's good.
(4)Stephanie S.
I can honestly say, this is probably the best thai place in Towson/Timonium area. It's a dinky restaurant with not the best ambience, but the food is pretty legit for the price you pay. I will be here pretty often for my regular thai fix!
(5)Jason B.
Some of the best food in Hunt Valley. The Drunken Noodles punch you in the face with their awesomeness. That's how good it is.
(5)Elizabeth B.
I was shocked to see this restaurant didn't have five stars! I find the sushi and pad thai to be exceptionally good, and the service to be wonderful. The esoteric collection of decorations is charming and low-key, yet the flavors of the food made this place my go-to date night with my boyfriend. The prices are so much cheaper than other places where the food is on the same level. It was my favorite place before I moved, now I am missing it big time!
(5)Anastacia B.
I've thought long and hard about whether to share this, and really feel I need to. My husband and I have loved this place...good food, great value. But on a recent visit, a roach crawled across our table. It didn't bother my husband so much, but I couldn't eat another bite. It may be pollyannaish of me to feel that this is unacceptable, but I do. I can imagine it may be impossible to never have one in a kitchen, but at the point where they're in the dining room, it's too much for me. Unfortunately, I won't be going back.
(1)Crystal B.
What do you rate when the service is bad but the food is DELICIOUS? 3 stars! My family ordered take out from here last week and the total was $112. When we asked for: some dry crushed red pepper, soy sauce, spicy fish sauce & some white vinegar as condiments (keep in mind this order is for 5 people) the manage told us that we were asking for too many sauces and charged my Aunt $1.00 for the soy sauce and the white vinegar. Imagine our surprise when we got back to our hotel room and neither was in our bag. I'm not sure if my family and I will be back just for that reason......with a $112 take out order I feel like you should just give us the friggin' sauces. We had the Panang duck, spicy fried rice, drunken noodles and a beef dish. The food was SUPERB........that's it though.
(3)Philip M.
Come here all the time for lunch the Pad Thai is excellent and the Drunken Noodles are very tasty. Not too excited about the sushi. Over all a great spot for lunch.
(5)Stevie V.
It really doesn't take much too impress me with good service. I try to judge mostly by the food quality for most businesses but not this time... This is the only thai place around this area so i decided to satisfy my craving for pad thai here... I called to make a pickup order and a man picks up the phone. With no greeting or anything he asks what i want to order. I simply ask him the price of pad thai and he tells me that they have a facebook page and a menu there ... And HANGs UP!! before i say anything else.. Because i was craving pad thai so bad i call back and just place the order (thank God someone else picked up). I get to the store and the man hands me the food. I ask him if he as any chili sauce on the side, and he sighs at me.. Telling me "next time when u have special request, tell me on the phone." Are you serious?? I asked you for a sauce that is already prepared in a container and that is a special order? And how can you talk to a customer in that tone. Food was decent. I honestly didn't even enjoy it .. thinking of that man's attitude. This is not how you treat your customers. Sir!
(2)Amit M.
Unfriendly staff / owner Very UNaccommodating for vegetarians. After being asked if there was fish sauce in the entree and being told there wasn't. It came with fish sauce that could easily be tasted at which point I got a Thai cooking lesson on how Thai food can not be made without fish sauce.

My friend & I ate at Fuji San on 4/12/15, but I'm only getting around to reviewing it now. I'm baffled at all the 4 & even 5-star reviews I'm seeing of this eatery, because our experience there was sub-par. Another reviewer said: "Why isn't this place busier"? I'd suggest that the experiences here are likely inconsistent. Our first impression of the place was good! The decor is welcoming & casual. Fuji San has an open ceiling, which gives the impression of being in a repurposed industrial space. The combination of that with some traditional Thai figurines & a a sushi clock (!) indicated a sense of whimsy. We came pretty late, so it was mostly empty & we were seated right away. Service seemed..not rude, but they were terse. Although it was over an hour & a half 'til closing we got the impression they wanted us to finish in a hurry so they could go home; a kid was doing homework at the bar. We promised them we'd be speedy eaters as we were starving. Because we were so hungry we started with the Kitchen Sampler. This is a platter of fried appetizers that includes chicken satay, vegetable spring rolls, tod mun, tempura & tod gung. The tempura was a little heavy, the satay a little dry but the bikini shrimp were good. Overall, the presentation wasn't the most appealing, but it was hot out of the fryer & we were staving. Thus, our first impression of the food wasn't too bad. For our entree we decided to get an order of Pad Thai - which is a good, better safe than sorry option to judge a place you're unfamiliar with - & a couple of pieces of sushi, which is always a roll of the dice when you're not familiar with a place. With the edge off our hunger we slowed down to really taste the Pad Thai, which came out first. Like the appetizer platter, it wasn't bad. It wasn't transcendent; it wasn't awful. The noodles had good texture; there was a pleasant snap of lemongrass, or maybe tamarind - I'm not sure. But that almost-sour tang Pad Thai is supposed to have was there. Then the sushi rolls came out. Remember that "roll of the dice" comment? Well, I failed my saving throw versus an icky evening from here on out. The first sushi was a Dragon Roll & the other was a Rainbow Roll (I think). Now, why do I not remember what kind of roll the other was? Because we didn't eat it. My traveling companion smelled the Dragon Roll & said something smelled off. Eel can be kind of strong, so I doubted her at first but I also smelled something not quite right about the roll. & the other had the same aroma. It wasn't all-the-way spoiled..just..not fresh. I'm lucky enough to have eaten some good sushi, & a very little bit of outright bad sushi. The one time sushi made me ill it smelled like the sushi on 4/12 at Fuji San. I made myself take a tentative nibble, but couldn't bring myself to eat more. The smell was too off-putting. I wanted to mention this to our server, but my friend sent the rolls back uneaten when I got up to wash my hands. She explained that it didn't smell or taste fresh, & that we couldn't eat it. Now this is where customer service comes into play. We hadn't been rude; we didn't make a scene. But the manager/owner/whoever was there that night charged us *full price* for inedible food. Didn't even offer to take one of them off of our bill. I was starting to feel kinda sick to my stomach, & we were two hours away from home. So I wasn't up for arguing. But what kinda place does that? If it's late & you're having an off night, mistakes can happen. That's part of running a restaurant. But if customers say the food isn't edible, & they clearly ate everything else, & don't seem to be jerks - *believe them*, & don't make them pay for food they can't eat. I didn't want to screw their server over so they got a minimum tip. But I'd never eat here again. When I started writing this review I had it set to two stars - one for the decor & one for the Pad Thai, which wasn't the worst I've had. But the more I remembered about this meal the less I liked it. Clearly lots of others had a different experience than we did & your mileage may vary. If my miles bring me back to this part of Maryland, though, I know where I'm *not* going for dinner.

Excellent chicken pad thai. Quaint & cozy little space. Small dining area but service is very good. Their carry out times are very quick and prices are very reasonable. You'll like it.
(4)A E.
I've eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants and this little gem is up there with the best. Atmosphere isn't anything to write home about...but isn't that what makes it special?.....food is outstanding and I highly recommend the Tom Yum soup and the Thai Honey entree. ....it should be noted they do not serve alcohol which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 like a true alcoholic. Enjoy!

Fuji San is my favorite place to go for sushi or thai. I was a regular at San Sushi (the sushi restaurant that closed right across the street) and although I was so sad to see it close, I did not have to fear having to find a new sushi place because san sushi and fuji san have the same owner! For anyone who had enjoyed the food at san sushi before, Fuji San does not disappoint. The only difference is now there are more thai options! The sushi is always fresh and delicious. I usually have a variety of the fresh fish and it always is perfect. I would have to say though, if you are calling in a carry out order make sure to be very specific about what you want!! I order carryout from here all the time and last week the woman who took my order got it very wrong. I had ordered the spicy salmon roll (which is listed pretty obviously on the sushi menu) and instead got a sushi hand roll, which is not at all what I wanted and was very disappointing. Besides this time, i have not had any issues! Outside of sushi the soups are delicious, the sesame dressing for the salad dressing is amazing, and my go to is the shrimp pad thai which never disappoints.
(4)Mario L.
Super Fantastic Drunken Noodle! The absolute best I've ever had, hands down. It's consistent and right-on-time, every time. I do mine XXX HOT, and trust, it's not for the sissy-type, but if you like the heat I definitely recommend it!! Love this place, everything is delish!
(5)Laura P.
I'd love to say that everything on the menu is delicious, but my husband and I haven't made it past the Pad Thai! It is delicious; the best in the area. We've actually tried the Pad Thai from several different Thai restaurants in the York PA/Cockeysville MD area, and this is by far the best. We usually do take-out (very quick - 15-20 minutes in our experience). We have also eaten in the restaurant with our infant; highchairs are available. Check this place out - you will not be disappointed!
(5)Leslie G.
When we're in the mood for Thai, we come here. Start with a Tom Kha soup or the spring rolls, both if which are delicious. Service is always crazy fast too, especially at lunch. You're never waiting for your food. They have a wide variety of options to suit every taste and they will turn up or down the spice level of the dish to your taste. The curries are great as is the Pad Thai. If you're looking to shake up your flavor palette, give this place a try. You'll enjoy all of your options which will come to your table lightning fast.
(4)Justin A.
Excellent food. Fast service. Why isn't this place busier? I've been here twice, both times had great food in about 10-15 minutes. Vegetables are always crisp and flavors are excellent. Check it out.
(5)Chadwick V.
I come here for one reason and one reason only- the Drunken Noodles. One of the best, if not the best Thai dishes I've had. I have literally gotten all my American friends who wouldn't venture out past a cheeseburger to love this as well and insist we go to Fuji San all the time just for the drunken noodles. Small family owned place. With that in mind I do not expect the ritz. They all do a great job. Hope they are around for many years to come.
(5)Allie Z.
I loved it here. I, all by myself, staying in Hunt Valley for a few days, had a hankering for some drunken noodles. After wanting to come here on a Sunday (they are closed), came by on Monday and ordered the won ton soup, the yum woon sen and the drunken noodles with pork and tofu. The soup had a really rich broth and was so comforting on a cool fall afternoon. The glass noodle salad, I had never had before anywhere else, was really flavorful - though a touch heavy on the red onions, and could have used a bit more heat. The drunken noodles is exactly what I was craving. It came out piping out, loaded with that sweet, spicy, basil flavor. The pork wasn't overcooked like most thai places tend to do. The broccoli was cut to the perfect bite sized pieces. The portions are very reasonable for the price and I definitely ordered too much food - but I can't wait to be hungry again so that I can munch on those leftovers.
(5)Lauren G.
Great food. Excellent Thai iced tea and tom yum soup, among many other great dishes. Only complaint is slow service.
(5)Niran A.
I have been meaning to try Fuji San for years, as I drive right past it at least twice a week. I finally stopped in there to get some carryout for lunch. I decided to keep it basic, only ordering the lunch portion chicken Pad Thai ($7.95 w/ soda). From wok to my hands, the Pad Thai was ready in literally 3 minutes. With that kind of speed you would expect microwaved food - definitely not the case here. The Pad Thai had a nice aroma, the perfect amount of fish sauce, and an appealing color. The noodles were cooked just right and no one ingredient was over powering. The noddle, scallion, egg, chicken, peanuts, bean sprouts and the aromatics were all harmonious. Obviously Pad Thai is not the best indicator of how good a Thai restaurant is; however, it's not a bad start. A Thai restaurant that can't make good Pad Thai should not be reckoned with any further. That said, I look forward to trying other dishes at Fuji San in the near future.
(4)Utkal N.
Nice food. Fresh veggies and tofu. I love the pad kee mow here. Hint of too much oil is the only downside. Definitely worth considering if you are in cockeysville area
(4)Michael M.
I know for a fact that they tamper with people's food here. Avoid. You have been warned
(1)Ashu M.
I haven't had the bad service experience here that many reference. Just consistent, tasty Thai food and even sushi. Still, I am not particularly demanding, beyond expecting good food. And I order for takeout more often than I dine-in. That said, they could (and should) increase the level of attentiveness and enhance their attitude, especially because the low yelp ratings are bound to be hurting them, and considering they do have the best Thai food available north of the 695 beltway. Being family-run is not an excuse to be incapable of change!
(4)Tim H.
Of course you are never going to truly taste what Thai food is really like unless you go to Thailand and even then you will find that your experience will be different from one place in Thailand to another. With that said, I will say that this place does a pretty decent job of serving up some of the more popular Thai dishes that you would most likely find when visiting any Thai restaurant. The seating is somewhat limited so if you have a large party I would recommend calling ahead to make sure they could accommodate you and your party. The menu has a large selection ranging in price. It took me a while to look over the menu and to decide what I wanted. To tell you the truth, I love Thai beef salad but to this day I have never had it taste the same way it did when I was living in Asia and traveled to Bangkok frequently. So, I did not get the beef salad, instead I got a a won ton soup, an order of their chicken egg rolls and an order of their chicken and basil stir fry. The won ton soup had a delicate flavor to it. It also had a taste of onion to it which came from a few pieces of the dried onion that the soup was garnished with. It also had scallions sprinkled on top that gave it a nice taste. The won ton's themselves were flavorful. They were stuffed with a mixture of shrimp and pork. Their chicken egg rolls were good too. They were stuffed with minced chicken and I think it was cabbage. The sauce that was served with them was kind of sweet and tangy. Thai chicken basil is one of my favorites. I seem to get that a lot when going to Thai restaurants. This place has a good recipe and I would recommend trying it. It was flavorful with the chicken, the peppers, onions and basil. What was nice about this dish was that the basil did not over take the dish but rather complimented the other flavors that it was cooked with. Sometimes you will find at other places that the basil is too strong and over powers the dish leaving you with only the taste of basil. Not so in this case. The sauce was light and gave it the added texture and flavor that was welcomed. My wife had the won ton soup and chicken egg rolls too. However, she decided to get the drunken noodles with beef. This dish was good too. The beef was tender and not over cooked or tough. The noodles were the right texture and it was not drowned in a sauce which made me happy. This was not my first time at this restaurant. I have been here a few times and have had different things every time. Every time I have come here I have had something good to eat, so if you are looking for a change from your usual fare, check this place out and give it a try. I think you will enjoy it too.
(3)Glenn M.
Not sure why so many negative reviews ... seems to be all about the service though. Funny ... every time I go in there, the family that I believe runs the place seem very friendly and quick to provideprompt, friendly service. Anyway, on to the food. I haven't tried a great deal of things ontheir Thai menu (what I mainly go there for), but the Penang curry is perfect. Unfortunately I love panang so much I rarely order anything else. Penang Goong (shrimp) is best option (for me anyway). Mywife orders the Pad Thai occassionally and it seems fine also. Never tried sushi here as San Sushi is right across the way and is excellent.
(4)Kevin B.
I want to review Fuji San because I love Thai food - we need a decent Thai restaurant in Cockeysville (where I work) and this place has potential - but they need to step it up a bit in a couple of areas 1) Customer Service and 2) Consistency. On Customer Service I have a few issues. I've stopped in this place for a carryout lunch during the work day several times and the guy running the place, who is usually the person you are interacting with (ordering and such) just comes off as unfriendly...seriously, you just feel like you're putting the guy out. For lunch what they do is give you a lunch-sized (and priced) meal that includes a drink (no problem here, it's a good price - probably about $7.95 for the Pad Thai.) Here is where the trouble starts: The drink is not your choice, it is a 12 oz. can of warm (not refrigerated) Coke. Ok, that's the first problem - plenty of people might not want a Coke - I'm actually OK with it. However, unless you are taking the meal home - what exactly do you do with a warm coke? You may be taking the meal back to the office or job site, or your car, etc. where you don't exactly have a cup with ice. I've always requested the cup with ice - and they've given it to me, but begrudgingly so and with almost a dirty look for asking. Well, yesterday I requested it again, and there came the dirty look, but the response I got this time was "a cup with ice is a dollar." After I had already paid w/ a credit card...Seriously??? I even put a dollar tip on the card (wish I hadn't done that now). I just shook my head and said forget it. The entire thing is just rude and obnoxious and I hope somebody from this place reads this review and does something about it. I mean, make the Pad Thai lunch a buck more and offer customers a refrigerated 12 oz. beverage or a free Dixie cup of ice if requested. This wasn't really the only instance of poor customer service. I took my family here one Saturday to eat in. The same guy played the role of host/waiter/etc. It was fairly empty in there at the time. Same lackluster attitude (my wife immediately noticed it without me warning her). We requested an avocado roll (yes, they do sushi) for my 3 year old who loves these - but requested that they make it VERY SMALL. For some reason the waiter pushed back a little on this (WHY??) and it came out regular, adult, sized. Then she was not given the little dish for soy sauce dipping. When we requested it the guy mumbled something about that he thought she might spill it, and that's why it wasn't offered. WTF? Is this the twilight zone? I'm a paying customer and a REPEAT one at that, despite the abuse! These guys need to read this review and straighten this out, b/c honestly the food isn't good enough to overcome the poor service and odd nickel-and-dime you beverage situation. On Consistency - I've had some awesome dishes here - the Stir-fried Basil w/ Chicken is usually very good. The Panang Curry is also quite good - my wife enjoyed hers thoroughly during the aforementioned family visit. The Pad Thai, however, is hit or miss. This is what I usually grab for lunch carryout, as it is typically one of my fav Thai dishes. The problem is that they must be cooking it in too hot of a wok or something because I've had it at least twice where the fried egg in the dish seems overcooked, even slightly singed/scorched, infecting the entire dish with an unpleasant burnt egg taste. I've also run into situations where the dish is all noodles and very little chicken. Ratios are important. So, Fuji San Owner/Operator Guy - Put on a freaking smile, make your customers feel like they are appreciated. If you are going to include a soft drink as part of your lunch deal - give customers a COLD beverage of their choice. If you do, for some reason, have to hand them a warm coke, for god's sake give them a free cup of ice if requested! DO NOT TELL A FREQUENT CUSTOMER THAT ICE COSTS A DOLLAR AFTER THEY'VE PAID AND TIPPED (FOR CARRYOUT)!!!! Finally, cook that Pad Thai in a slightly cooler Pan - burnt egg taste is not appetizing. If things improve, I'll edit this rating - but for now these guys need a wakeup call.
(2)Nishant S.
Good food but horrible service. "Thumbs Down" to the owner who usually takes order. He is always grumpy and unfriendly. Also the most of the sushi ordered are XXL size. Please don't order sushi here unless your feeding a hippo.
(2)R M.
Awful service. Some of the worst i have ever had. We had to seat ourselves at a dirty table. It took 10 minutes for someone to wait on us, which was excessive, but then it got worse. It took a FULL 40 minutes for me to get our food (at lunch!). On top of all of that, they got my order wrong, and the portion was insultingly small. I ordered a garlic chicken lunch portion, and it came with 3 small pieces of chicken. Still starving when I was done. As if that wasn't bad enough, sodas finally came out halfway through the meal, after asking 3 times. They are so understaffed - two people waiting on a full room (about 10 tables). They could not handle it. The food is tasty, but they must fix the service. My friend ordered the pad thai, and his portion was much more appropriate, so that might have been bad luck. Still, all this cost $13 for lunch for 1 person! Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Won't be going back.
(1)J B.
One time it was really good...When we ate there. We had one very bad takeout experience, though. Not good tasting at all. Given that roach comment from another reviewer, I'm not sure that we're going back.
(2)kanling k.
A bit odd to have a Thai restaurant run by Chinese people that has a Japanese name. This is a small restaurant in a strip mall. I have only been there at lunch time, and I don't go often because prices are just a few dollars too high. Despite the fact that the staff has no idea what you are talking about if you order anything in Thai language, the quality and authenticity of the food is rather good. To be more accurate, the flavor is surprisingly authentic... however, the spice level is WAY low. If you are used to spicy Thai food, you will have to demand the food to be extra spicy or ask for some "chili sauce" at the table. (Asking for "nam prik" won't work unless you want a confused look.) The food is also a bit too salty for my taste. Overall, though, not too bad if you want Thai food and don't want to drive to DC to get it.
(2)Tom S.
HA ha ha ha, the goofiest review I ever read is from the d...h who complained about the FREE soda that comes with his already discounted lunch special. Just look at that reviewer's picture and you can tell he is a bag. I talked to the very sweet lady who takes our order at the restaurant about that fools can of soda tragedy and she said they literally are taking a complete loss on the can and that cups cost a lot more than you would think so they do charge for a cup with the ALREADY PRICE REDUCED LUNCH SPECIALS! Good God, did you see how long that goofballs review was? You would think the chef walked to his table, pulled down his pants and served the guy a ham sandwich. This place has a great beef salad, awesome coconut lemon soup, (veg is my favorite!) great pad thai (picky wife loves it) and it is a comfortable, quiet, attractive, close by restaurant. Yes the owner was not blessed with the kind of personality that works well as the owner of a restaurant, but he's not nasty, he's just quiet and not overly thankful for your patronage. Usually the young lady is the person who serves you anyway and recently the owner actually did notice my wife and I have started having an infant eat with us at the table and gave us a nice congratulations. My complaint about the place would be that they are not open on Sunday, it seems so nuts to me that any restaurant would sacrifice all the business that could be had on a day when 99% of the world has the day off. One final thing I would like to add is that the prices are cheaper than my other area favorite Green Leaf up the road and the food is just as good (but it is about 1000 decibels quieter.)
(5)Arjun S.
I always order the Drunken noodles with chicken. Its pretty good but low on the spicy side. Portions are large too. Try the sticky rice and mango for dessert.

I went here for lunch with a bunch of girls from work. The place is pretty small, so call ahead if you have a large party. We had six girls in our party, and we took up a good part of the place. Do not come here if you are in a hurry. They are slow. It took about 15 minutes to greet us and another 15 - 20 minutes for the food to come out. Notice that even with the above mentioned slowness, this place still got four stars...that's because the food was really really yummy. I had the red curry with chicken. I asked for it spicy and they delivered. One girl got the basil sauteed chicken, and she said it was amazing. I want to try that next time. It looked sooo good. The lunch menu has a lot of options and most things are about $10 per person. I can't wait to go back and try more things! If you have a long lunch break, I highly recommend this place!
