Not a fancy place but the food was delicious and very good portions. I had panang chicken and my wife had seafood soup Lg portion. We also had a pot of tea, spring rolls, and sticky rice. We finished it all. The entire meal for both was 40.76 Don't expect a fancy place, just good food and friendly staff.

Five-star Asian market. I did not eat there. Could not believe how many types of fish sauce there are! They also had huge containers of oyster sauce. If you cook Asian food in Shasta County, this is the place for you.

Pretty much everything staple I need plus really crisp spring rolls and their cooked food is the reason I come here over the other places that are closer to me....and the prices. Oyster sauce is so much cheaper here. Fresh king Oyster Mushrooms, banana leaves, etc, very good prices.

Had the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) with beef. The taste was good and the wide flat noodles are unique. It contains bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. The beef and green beans were a little on the tough side. For the rice noodles with pork (sold prepared on the shelf) the meat was a little dry. Overall, decent and authentic tasting food.

The owners are Hmong and the food was very good!! Go support our local Hmong people. It definitely is a little hole in the wall but it's not gonna disappoint! I was expecting less because you know I didn't know what to expect bc there wasn't alot of pictures and reviews. But coming from MN, I gotta say the food was pretty good. The Pho wasn't salty it had the perfect balance of salt and the beef broth was definitely there not watered down or anything. The Yum Woon Sen was good and perfectly salted, with a refreshing taste. I wish it was a tad bit more sour but then again I love sour food so my taste of sour is probably too much for yall. The fried shrimp wrapped bacon and the deep fried calamari and shrimp was super yummy. No fishy smell to it.

I can say without a doubt. This is the real deal Thai. The only gripe I have is the service. It took me 30 minutes to get my check and to go boxes. But let me tell you about the Tom Yum. If you like Tom yum. This is it. Make sure to ask for extra seafood. Also I go the pork spring rolls and pad Thai. It was so flavorful and fresh and super spicy. I asked for Thai spicy and they delivered. The market is cool. The experience was a little confusing but probably just a learning curve. Can’t wait to go back and try new things!
