Quality/Quantity - Papaya Salad - My wife says this is a typical Thai recipe...? But my daughter and I are used to a more ripe papaya salad. And can I suggest you shred the cabbage also? Kao Soi; Curry Noodle with Chicken - HUGE hit for my wife, and she doesn't even like curry. She ate the whole bowl again! Still her favorite dish here. Boat Noodle Soup, Added Tilapia for $4 more - Decent portions. Not 100% sold on the flavor though. Chicken Pad See Ew - Surprised at the small quantity. Especially when the other dishes were more generous. A basic dish. Mango Sweet Sticky Rice with Coconut Ice Cream - This was a home run. Well the mango could have been riper, but we loved the sticky rice and the coconut ice cream. So many drink specials - $2 beers, $4 glasses of wine, lunch specials, etc. They also have other specials, see pictures. Atmosphere - Good size small local business. Well are you still small with 4 locations? Yes. All day $2 beers, see pictures. The beer was a good micro brewery and not inexpensive domestic beers. Table or bar seating. Also outside seating. Open 7 days a week from 11:30am or noon until 9pm. Street metered parking, come after 6pm and parking will be plenty and free. Today was Sunday, so free parking. Need a key for the bathroom, but it does not have interior/internal locks. I STRONGLY SUGGEST adding those locks so customers do NOT walk in on each other... Service - Good. One woman army, such a hard worker. Serviced all the tables almost by herself. Almost all of our visits here only had one waitress for ALL the tables here. Price - $87 + tip. I felt that this was inexpensive for what we got. We are now regular customers. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2013 with your 6 locations. And your success here since April 2021.
I ordered take out because I was in the area and hungry but not enough time to sit and eat. Pad Thai with chicken spicy 3 out of 5. It was the perfect level of spicy! It was piping hot and easy pick up. The inner dining area is small and so you might have to wait if it's too cold for outside dining. It was good pad Thai but not the best I've had in town. I do love that they have two different hard cider choices on their menu. I'll be back to try that and some curry!
Note: they have lots of weekday lunch specials. Unfortunately I came on a Sunday afternoon :( I ordered the Panang curry with beef and it definitely didn't disappoint. The coconut flavor of the curry was great! Perhaps I've been spoiled with excellent Thai food where I'm from, but the rice was a little too watery for me, but the food overall was delicious. The interior has plenty of seating and even a bar area. Service was quick and efficient and my server was friendly.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. The kao soi noodle and the coconut shrimp are just the best! I'm sure everything is great but I have to order those two dishes every time. Friendly service as well, Rose is the best!!
This is our first time trying this Thai restaurant. We went on Thursday after work, and it was not crowded; we were able to get a table quickly. The service was excellent: very attentive, pleasant, and quick. The server made wonderful recommendations for us, which we appreciated. The ambiance is excellent: it's an open concept with plenty of windows and natural lighting. There's a large bar, and the tables are nicely spread out. We mainly ordered noodle dishes, which were good. I would recommend getting chicken as a protein, as the beef was a little tough. Overall, the food we had was good. I would definitely return and try their other non noodle dishes.
When there's a performance at the nearby Pioneer Center, our practice has been to dine at the La Famiglia Ristorante before an evening performance and have Lunch at The Coconut Downtown before a Matinee. Gayle and I did the later before attending a most excellent performance of Mrs. Doubtfire yesterday afternoon. There are other Downtown choices, but with the Pioneer Center in visual site (and steps away in case of a rush), call us creatures of habit. Due to the Downtown Pride celebrations, the Coconut was was busy, with all bar and table seats taken except 2. We were seated at that table within this comfortable and casual dining room. Our server was pleasant and efficient, with beer, wine, and our food choices all coming out relatively quickly. I ordered That Praram Chicken, while Gayle had some sort of shrimp salad. We ate everything, altough I thought my dish was a little bland, while Gayle thought that the shrimp portion was tasty and generous, but definitely a bit too saucy. We'll be here again, but we'll probably go for one of our Curry or Pad Thai stand byes.
First time here! Coming from out of town. Out server, Cheetah, was so hospitable and informative! Truly so so nice! We had the fresh rolls, pineapple Curry, and khao soi. OMG LET ME TELL YOU THIS FOOD WAS SUPERB!!! The flavor explosion in your mouth! Both were creamy with right amount of spice! (You can pick your spice level 1 through 5 -we chose 1 because I don't like spice but I think I could've even handled a 2 or 3) I highly recommend the khao soi! I've never had that before, and it was my favorite item of the night. I also want to point out the other person working tonight was just as friendly. She apologized that one of our dishes took longer than the other, but we really weren't waiting more than 3 minutes after the first dish came out. I will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and stop by!
Pros: Food was packed hot, and my food was quoted a pick-up time, and it was ready before said pick-up time. Fresh ingredients! Cons: Smaller portions and pricier than most local Thai restaurants. Metered parking next to the restaurant. I believe parking is free after 7 pm. The restaurant is located in downtown Reno. My curry didn't have any chicken in it, although I ordered it with chicken. It had overcooked eggplant in it, and the other veggies were mushy. Tip: Do check their business hours before heading there. They are open for lunch and then close for a while before dinner service. I learned that the hard way the last time I was in the area and craved Thai. Decent spacious dining room and a few tables. The girls were friendly when I picked up my takeout order. I would be willing to come in next time for the full experience. I would definitely have the papaya salad and the pad thai again. However, I would have to pass on the red pumpkin curry. I was not impressed with all mushy vegetables and absent chicken; I wouldn't recommend it either. I would like to try other items on their menu.
