I liked the food, my pineapple seafood rice was delicious, and sufficient amount. Thai tea was good. Egg roll very well made. Spicy food is really spicy including if you have a spicy palate. The green seafood curry was good (but small portion as the eater said) service is great let’s say over average, place is clean. Thanks and I’ll be here again for more.

One of the best Thailand food I’ve had. I’ve tried Phaneng curry and Tom Yum all over Northern California and this has to be the best of them. I love how their fried rice is crispy and chewy at the same time and I paired my meal with their Thai iced tea was so rich in flavor. The Bento Box 1 had all orange chicken teriyaki chicken and two egg rolls that were flavorful. Glad this place exist in Central Valley!

Do not let the location scare you away. This is a hidden gym! And if you’re so lucky ask for Josephina, she is an amazing server with a great sense of humor. The food is absolutely amazing, fresh, hot, and delicious!

This place is a hidden gem. I really love the food real authentic, and the owners put a lot of heart and soul into their dishes. Husband and wife cooking side by side in the kitchen all that love in the atmosphere, and then they apply it on a dish served with delicious authentic food from the soul. Great service, the girls Josephine and Mela are the best everyone is welcoming and very kind. I will spend my money here every pay day. Come treat yourself, don't cheat yourself, CERES CA always accepting new family members to the restaurant come try them out I promise you will come back...

Ordered takeout, but the food came promptly and the clerk (whoever she was that we ordered dinner for on the same day of this post) was polite, considerate and made sure our takeout was packaged well. The food was tasty and came together well. I was looking for something Laotian and the girl recommended one of the salads that I got this minced grilled beef with and sticky rice. The pad thai was great too, if anything maybe a few more ingredients, but it was very solid, and had a good consistency to it.

WOW what a great find! Terrific Thai cuisine with friendly service, just off the beaten path in Ceres! Worth the drive from neighboring towns too. Ask for Josephina who has a terrific sense of humor and can help people navigate the spice level and other questions that come up when ordering from such an exotic menu. Everything we tried was outstanding! Red Curry was perfectly spicy. BBQ pork was tender and char broiled. The eggplant was amazing! And mango sticky rice is always a delightfully sweet ending!

Solid Southeast Asian option just south of Modesto. Located in a Ceres strip mall, the kitchen doles out bursts of fresh flavors and spice. Neua Nam Tok Salad, thinly-sliced grilled beef tossed with cilantro, mint, chili, red onion and lettuce, finished in a savory-sweet lime dressing — yum! Red Pepper Hot Pot, udon noodles, seafood and Asian veggies in pork broth, decent but could use a bit more depth in flavor. An excellent stop off when driving along I-99

Decided to try this spot out and was so happy I did! Would highly recommend! Great flavor, reasonable prices, and good portions. The dining area is large with lots of seating and the staff is very friendly! The chicken pad prig king was so tasty! They had lots of menu options for food and drinks. They pack serious heat so beware when ordering. We ordered medium and it was almost unbearably spicy. Love spicy and this packed a punch! Will definitely be back!
