The Eden center is the largest enclave for Vietnamese eating , drawing diners from as far away as Canada. It has several passageways filled with little family run restaurants and choosing one is a challenge. While most of them are good, this one had an...interesting menu.More

Kao Sarn Thai is a wonderful small restaurant tucked inside Eden Center, surrounded by Vietnamese restaurants and businesses. It is a cozy setting and the food was great. I ordered a sweet and sour fish entrée, the Tom Yum Gai soup and Som Tum Green...Papaya salad. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. The owner stopped at our table and was very nice. I highly recommend.More

This is the first time I’ve ventured into Eden Center. We were down the street at BJs and wanted some good Thai food. Once again, Trip Advisor steered us to a winner.

Tiny hole in the wall, run by a small but talented Thai lady, who whips up unusual but delicious Thai dishes rarely found elsewhere, like the curry soup with two kinds of noodles, or Thái phở. You also find more familiar dishes like Phad Thai,...green papaya salad, etc. The level of spiciness can be adjusted, but be warned, at the highest level it could hurt the weaker eaters.More

This restaurant is not to easy to find in eden center, but it did provide a luxury satisification for your stomach. I went there several times and not a time was disappointed. There are several vegetarian options, I choosed yellow curry noodle with substituted tofu...this time. The noodle comes with two types of noodle, one is soaked in the soup and the other crasp one is stand up on the top. When you mixed them together and dip into the tasteful soup, it satisfy your tongue immediately. And following a scope of the soap, the stomach is totally comfortable and feel so good in s winter time.More

It's a small unpretentious restaurant in the Eden Center. I had the Pad Thai, which is my favorite and it was quite good. The waitress was quite nice and efficient. It was really authentic and felt like being in Thailand. I will definitely return.

The food here was great. Very small place so maybe not good for a large group. I had the egg plant and fried fish. Very good. and the mango with sticky rice

I had the Kao Soi curry noodles (which was the entire reason I came here) and a Thai iced tea for under $20. The Kao Soi did not disappoint and I would definitely recommend it if you are tired of the usual pad Thai or...green curry order. Good service. This place is pretty small with only seven tables. Give this place a try if you are near the Eden Center. Will return.More

We had a super friendly server who made sure we got the vegetarian spring rolls we ordered and was super patient with our questions. The space is intimate and even though we are outside it still had a welcoming vibe. The food itself was WONDERFUL....We had the seafood drunken noodles as well as the fish and eggplant dish. We thoroughly enjoyed both. The one drawback for this lactose-intolerant diner was the limited number of drinks without milk, but the hot tea we asked for was accommodated. I’d love to go back to this place with my best friend or my in-laws. It was a terrific experience!More

While I admit I’ve never been to Thailand, I have watched many travel food shows and I believe this is the closest you’ll find to Thai street food in America. Don’t expect much in ambiance. This hole in the wall restaurant at the Eden Center...is small and cramped and offers both a familiar and unique Thai menu. The wife and I started with the Thai empanadas, perfectly fried and flavorful followed by the boat soup, a rich and spicy medley of flavors not for the weak at heart. This was followed by Kha Na Moo Krob Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly. The flavors are amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try something else. Great place to share dishes. If you are a foodie you’ll love this restaurant.More

We went around 8 on a Friday night, and the place was packed. We sat at one of the two tables right outside the restaurant. After a few minutes, no one bothered to give us a menu so we grabbed our own. Then, no one...gave us water nor took our order. So we went up to put in our order at the counter and waited for a table to clear out inside. Basically service was slow and terrible. The food was also not that great. Best thing we ordered was the clear thread noodle app - flavors were bold and it was spicy good! We ordered boat noodle and curry noodle soup. The boat noodle was basically pho in darker broth, nothing like boat noodle. The curry soup didn't have enough curry or coconut milk, so it was basically watered down. Also, instead of the normal drumstick, you just get pieces of chicken meat? Lastly, the 2 mango sticky rice we ordered were just downright awful. The rice was very soggy and smothered with sauce. A third of the mangos on both plates had black parts on it. The total for 3 people (without drinks) was around $70 before tip! For the price point, for the food quality, for the lack of service...this is a pass for next time.More

Stopped in last week on a whim. The food and service were great. For an appetizer we had the spring rolls, main course; drunken noodles, chicken with curry and noodles, and pork with peppers and for dessert mango sticky rice & thai custard sticky rice....All was so delicious. All served hot and fresh and the staff was very attentive! I had never had thai custard and it's now my fav!More

Tiny restaurant. I’d recommend take out, but then you’d miss the great service in the place. There are maybe 4 tables inside and another 2-4 outside. It’s inside a mall, so you won’t see a storefront. But have no fear, it’s in there. Had Pad...Thai, Pad Se-ew and Panang Beef. Each with its own delicious flavors, served with plates to share. If you want an adventure, try the Thai Green Tea, loved it and hadn’t had those flavors before.More
