Ordered takeout and I got the pad thai. They straight up forgot to put the peanut sauce on the noodles. It was unseasoned vegetables and clumped rice noodles, pretty disappointed tbh

The service is outstanding! “Hudston” got us a ceiling ballon. The food was good too especially the peanut sauce.

The food at this joint is amazing and the service was incredible. Gibson went above and beyond with our table service and made for a great dinning experience.

So I ordered on Grubhub an hour before the place opened. Then the order was cancelled by Grubhub before it was supposed to be delivered. Then I ordered direct and showed up to pick up and food not ready. The staff was frustrated and unable to do the job. I will post again once I actually eat the food. They were noticeably short staffed…. Edit…after getting the food it was good. To be fair the soups were the best.

The only thing it wasn't was overcooked. Totally bland and no sauce. If this is Pad Thai, I've got CoronaVirus.

PCU is great although sometimes they sub in a thinner noodle that is not as good -- but with the supply issues plaguing the nation it’s understandable! Don’t skip the roti and mango sticky rice if they have it!Prices are super reasonable and food is reliably delicious.

Cute restaurant offering a lighter take on Thai. That being said we had the tempura green beans — would order again, but lacking seasoning. Also the drunken noodles and Panang curry. The curry was by far the star — loaded with fresh bell peppers and very flavorful (amping up the spice wouldn’t hurt though).

Fairly authentic flavors on their dishes. The Pad Thai and Penang curry are the two that make or break a Thai restaurant and they’re both great. Portion sizes are bigger and separates Tap Thai from other Thai restaurants in town, especially if you’re doing take-out.

This used to be my favorite Thai place in town, but after the last time I went both my partner and I felt very sick after eating there. We think it was Tom Kha (maybe the coconut milk had gone bad or something), but whatever menu item it was, we endured a great deal of gastrointestinal distress after eating there.

Hellla good food. The glass noodles with fried/crisp pork was the bomb. Also tried one of their special dishes which was great. Didn't take any photos unfortunately but I'll do a much more in depth review next time. Will definitely be back when in Montecito, CA.
