  I really enjoyed this place! It's so close to my work and honestly they are the best Thai food in the area.
  Me and my friends had the
  Vegetable fried rice: 9/10 this place is definitely smaller portion then any other Thai places how ever it's very delicious but I thought having a celery inside the fried rice was a little odd LOL
  Had the pad kee mow 11/10!!! It's spicy and delicious. The spice hits you in a good level... and honestly pair it up with the white rice it's such a great combo.
  Had the Thai spicy chicken (grounded asked if either SPICY) oh man DELICIOUS. It was just too notch and with the white rice it makes the meal WHOLE lot better.
  
  Honestly service was amazing and we had no complaints for this place
  
  It's clean , service is great , and food is beyond great!
  
  Spicy is definitely spicy and the food quality is top notch. Fresh Ingredients for sure. Yummmmmm!

  I keep coming here because it is the only Thai restaurant in town and usually my order is to go. My experience last week makes me wonder if this location was sold yet again. The soup size to go has went down drastically! For $13 really felt I had been ripped off on the soup. Pad Thai was sadly disappointing as well and my Thai tea, The Boba definitely had an interesting texture compared to how it usually is. Sadly if I want decent Thai food I think it's time to start cooking it at home .
  
  I have had some good experiences which is why I'm giving them a three star, but they are few and far between.
  
  Past review: You know it is hit and miss with this restaurant but now I am done! We come in at 7:55 tonight and are told, "we close at 9, you have one hour." No one in the restaurant and we get sat on a seat that is duck taped. Made a run for the exit... currently enjoying a nice meal at Olive Garden... oh and they didn't give us a time limi

  Their food is always fresh and taste as authentic as it can be. My favorites are of course pad thai with chicken, coconut yellow curry and Tom yum soup. And oh the sticky rice!!! Would be good if they have the mango all the time but I get that it's seasonal. We always ordered delivery so cant comment about the space in Newbury park. The one in Westlake, TO looks good though.

  Well, I've completed the event.  Go to all Exotic Thai restaurants in the area.  That's the goal.  A second goal would be to go to Ojai and the Woodland Hills locations.  But for now, I've completed the task: Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, and finally, this one in Newbury Park.  (note: Camarillo is long gone)
  
  Located in the Kohl's parking lot alongside Chipotle, Sharky's, Pickles, and a Starbuck's, its clientele -- locals and a lot of take-out orders, and definitely skews an older crowd.  Yep, this is far from a night club environment.  (Although, the were playing overhead a very bad Thai pop/rock band called "Lom Tung Yeun").
  
  A small location, a small dining room and one other teeny tiny one.  The same menu as the rest of the locations.  The gf and I got two items, and one item "to go":
  =====================
  1.  Kiew Wan (Green Curry) with Beef [$12, 4.0 stars] -- some veggies (mostly bamboo shoots) and decent beef, just not as tender as it could've been, and an amazing green curry that bumps the rating up.
  
  2.  Pad Thai with Chicken [$11, 4.5 stars] -- totally delicious.  Recommended.
  
  3.  Pineapple Fried Rice [$14, 2.5 stars] -- unsweetened pineapple chunks along with one piece of BBQ Pork, one shrimp, and 4 pieces of chicken.  Overall, boring and overpriced for the little meat I was given.
  
  Service:
  =======
  ...was nice, but was scarce and could be improved.  A young girl was the only server.
  
  Overall, out of the four, this ranks #3 on the list:
  =====================================
  #1 - Thousand Oaks (best décor, overall experience)
  #2 - Agoura Hills (best vibe)
  #3 - Newbury Park (this one)
  #4 - Westlake Village (really it's Oak Park)
  
  The rice, and ultimately, the service -- brings down my 3.5 star to a 3.0.

  What a delightful little tiny restaurant. We shared some wonderful soup with a name I do not remember, with lemon grass and coconut milk, a shrimp and scallop curry, and my personal favorite, the fresh rolls with shrimp. I was so hungry and nervous when I saw how many tables there were and that there only seemed to be one server. Not to worry......our service was very bright, friendly and the food was ultra fast! The soup was a huge highlight and the decor so charming.
