Ordered for delivery. The mango rice and Kang Kiow Wan are good. However, the duck fried rice 16$ really disappointed me. The duck was not fresh and it tastes like a tree. The rice was too sweet and too oily. AVOID it!
Wonderfully flavorful Thai dishes prepared fast by welcoming staff. Great mix of flavor profiles and textures.A little sweeter than Sophia's, but great if you want a quicker meal and not looking for sit-down service.
The food is still great but I have noticed the prices increasing and the portion sizes getting smaller. You will still have a delicious meal but it might not be the best deal around. Definitely order the crispy duck skin whenever it is in stock.
Amazing, best thai food we've had in awhile. Got the papaya salad, shrimp rolls, yellow curry and the garlic fried rice with pork. The fried rice was the real standout (forget the name on the menu), awesome flavor and the pork was awesome. Best part is we ordered everything thai hot and it actually was pretty spicy, which is pretty rare at sacramento thai restaurants.
We have come to expect mediocre food and hit-or-miss flavor. This last order was the last straw... ordered the usual pad king and drunken noodle, both medium spicy. The drunken noodle was a soggy mess, and so overly spiced that no other flavor was discernable. So much for medium. I tried calling to let them know about the problem before reviewing here, but their number seems to be disconnected and I can't message them. So long Thai Canteen, I wish I could say it's been great, but I just can't.
Thai Canteen: I ordered the pad khing ($13) and an iced Thai tea ($4) for take-out. There is ample seating indoors (including bar stools around the counter area) as well as outside in the patio area. Relaxing atmosphere and plenty of seating with large tables, great for friend/family gatherings. Staff were attentive and friendly, they recommended rice dishes and personally came outside the restaurant with my order when it was ready (it took <20 min).I chose mild as my spice level and I'm glad I did, the pad khing still had a nice kick to it but not to the point of tongue-numbness. The stir-fried chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions were a bit plain without the sauce and the ginger flavor was not as impactful as I expected. This dish is perhaps best enjoyed immediately when served, before the sauce is greedily soaked up by the rice, leaving the chicken dry. I felt the portion was a bit small for the price but noticed that it's probably due to the size of the container, where portions for dine-in seemed larger. The iced Thai tea has the usual familiar, comforting sweet taste of condensed milk and the price is about the same as elsewhere. Overall, the Thai Canteen offers dishes with great potential and is perhaps best enjoyed by dining in.
welcoming staff, amazing food, and fast service. they seem to be a little understaffed but everyone is after covid and they are handing it extremely well. the interior is well furnished, and there’s a variety of spots to enjoy your food at. the outside seating area is stunning too. i would rate this place a solid 9/10z
Great food for a good value. The curry is quite good. They mild spice level is very weak for those that can't handle spice while the hot and Thai hot are perfect for those that want closer to authentic spice levels.
Ate there twice in early December. Had a 5+ star experience and a 3 star one. Service is great but I wonder if the kitchen is inconsistent? The 3 star one gave us a dish I couldn't even identify from the menu.
This place is amazing. We were in Davis to pick up a family member and came by this restaurant. We ordered a pad Thai, fried chicken and a pad see ew. The pad Thai was delicious but other two did not have much flavor. The portions were decent and we had no leftover. I would try out other restaurants if I'm in Davis again. To be fair to the restaurant, I documented what we had on my utub channel, 逆難疫旅 HowFarGo. Feel free to search it.
