- Long wait, had to flag someone down at the end because maybe they forgot me
- I literally had to repeat to them what I ordered so that I can get my food
- Told me 20 minutes after I ordered that they ran out of what I ordered
- Gave me a replacement that looked like it’s half a portion (the container was literally a half size container), but didn’t give me a refund
- The sticky rice was a dried brick packed in a ziplock bag
- The fried noodles were clumped together, definitely not fresh
- I ordered Pad See Ew, which is supposed to be made with wide noodles, but they used skinny noodles instead, seemed to have substituted a bunch of stuff and tasted far worse than at any other place
- Only gave me one straw for two iced teas

AUTHENTIC PORK MEATBALL NOODLE SOUP
If you travel to South East Asia you will find this soup wherever you go. In Thailand, Viet Nam, Kampuchia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong.we eat this soup at anytime of the day. To me, this is the best ‘HooTeew’ (as called in Viet Nam) in this whole Bay Area.
The broth is clear and lightly seasoned. The pork meatballs are soft and tasty. The ground pork and fried garlic define the taste of the soup. The julienned cabbage adds some crunchiness to the noodle. Even when dark clouds move above the city and guts of wind rattle the plastic sheet above my head, I thoroughly enjoy this noodle soup to the last spoon. At the below average price of $10 per bowl, the generous size bowl gives me a perfect main meal of the day.
I do plead guilty of gluttony when, even already full, I can’t resist the crunchy and lightly sweet fried yam, banana and taro. Hot and crunchy and not oily at all, I can have these alone for lunch.
Most of all I am so grateful that the Sunday food court opens again at this Wat Thai.

Amazing little escape to a mini piece of Thailand and lots of good food.

I'm commenting on the food and not actual service at the temple. First time walking in, we're greeted by a sweet lady. I we told her we've never been here before and she gives us the run down. Basically it's cash or Venmo. Cash is better for them as the sales of food helps the temple directly.

Each food item is $10. Easy. I should have taken a picture of them menu but didn't.

We got the green chicken curry (it's spicy, well if you don't eat spicy, I thought it was perfect), fried chicken which had about 8 pieces of chicken, and the fried pork. The fired chicken and pork came with sticky rice. We also got a mango sticky rice for an additional $5. Everything is what you expect, delicious. Keep in mind the chicken is dark meat.

If your in the bay area looking for some fresh thai foods. Go to this temple. They have vendors every Sunday morning:)
