Heng Heng Heng! Thai Noodles

I didn’t like the food at this place. There are better cheap thai restaurants out there. Would not recommend.

Sad to see this place closed down.
Customer service was 4stars I enjoyed the complimentary hand sanitizer.

This place is CLOSED… I’m still going to review this place even though we came here the last day that it was opened. Ate here when I was in the mood for Thai during lunch. Came here several times and it has always been very good. Tried the Tom yum noodle soup, the boat noodles, and the chicken wings which were all delicious. One of the better Thai places in Richmond but unfortunately the business has closed down.

Last Day Open: Friday, August 30 2013
Sad to see this place go; I enjoyed the food and a convenient location for me.
They do good business during «daylight» hours, but after the 9 – 5 office workers go home, they don’t have business worth staying open.
I have seen at that location, every 1 to 1.5 years a new owners trying to make a go of it as a Chinese/​Asian restaurant. Now again we have one more business casualty at that location.

Yum Yum Yum! The five stars isn’t just for the good food, the prices are just as great (:
We ordered two Thai Teas, Pork Rib Curry, and Pad Thai. Initially, we tried the chrysanthemum tea, but didn’t like it because we were unfamiliar with the taste. It just wasn’t our «cup of tea» lol. Service was great! The waitress noticed we weren’t enjoying the tea and offered to swap it out for a Thai Tea, very attentive.
Pork Rib Curry was tender and a good portion for one person. The pad Thai was simple but yummy, also a hefty portion for the amount you pay.
Décor was simple but nice, my only complaint, if any is that the chairs are a little low for the tables, I’m short so maybe it’s just a personal problem haha.
Overall, very happy with our first visit. Will be returning anytime we have another Thai craving.

Free wifi, $ 10 for $ 15 Unilocal deal, tv to watch the A’s game, and good food. We ordered the chicken wings, pad Thai, and Tom Yum noodles — all of which were great. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive, and friendly (he brought us hand sanitizer to use after eating the chicken wings). The Thai ice tea comes with free refills!
Interesting that the bathroom located in the restaurant required a key to use!

Unilocal recommended the Tom Yum and Pad Thai. We really liked the Tom Yum more. The Pad Thai was good but maybe I m not so much of a sweet tooth so after a few bite, I started craving savory/​salty flavor and all there is to Pad Thai is sweet/​sour.
The tangy chicken wings were delish, crispy perfection but the sauce could be tangier.
The owner’s son is the waiter and he is SUPER nice. Even told us we get free Thai iced tea refill.
If you use the Unilocal deal $ 10 for $ 15, you can’t use the free Thai ice tea check-​in coupon. Only 1 coupon per dine-​in table.
They have special grand opening pricing as well. Despite this location being on Macdonald’s ave in Richmond, we will be back!
You get a stamp card too, eat 10 times and get 1 free entrée.
Free wi-​fi as well.

I came back for their Heng Heng Heng noodle soup and I was amazed at how good the broth was. This is better than most phở broth I’ve had. The seafood noodle had a generous portion of noodles and two of each ingredient (shrimp, fish balls, tofu,) plus lots of bbq pork. The only downside was that there seemed to be lots of MSG since I was incredibly thirsty afterward!

I am always looking for good restaurants in West County. Thanks to a Groupon we found this gem. For an added bonus, they also offer a Thai ice tea if you do a Unilocal Check-​in. I might not have found this location without one of these two offers. It is a bit off my normal routes; I don’t spend much time on McDonald in Richmond. I was happy that they have a parking lot next to the restaurant so parking was close and easy. The interior is rather stark despite the red walls.
We started the meal with fried calamari. There weren’t any tentacles on the plate and for once we were not the least bit disappointed. The menu says they are breaded in a zesty batter and fried until golden brown. That description is accurate. They are also extremely tender and very tasty. They were served with a nice dipping sauce. These were so good that I did not miss the tentacles.
We had three other main plates.
Braised egg noodles with a seafood combo that included fish balls, sliced fish cake, prawns, calamari and bean sprouts. It was topped with cilantro and green onions. Not even one piece of the fish was overcooked.
Pra-​Rahm sliced flank steak on a bed of spinach in a spicy peanut curry sauce and bell peppers.
Boneless roast duck on jasmine rice, the succulent duck was delightful
This sounds like a lot of food and indeed it was. Each main plate is designed as one serving. The pricing is so reasonable. Even without the Groupon the total bill would have only been $ 35.00
I noticed on the water glasses that they had the Siam Cuisine logo. I remember that restaurant well. They were one of the first Thai restaurants in the Eastbay. It was also the first place I had Thai food. The waiter told me that Siam Cuisine was his grandparent’s restaurant. They closed it when they retired. His uncle was the owner of this new family owned restaurant. Perhaps that’s why the food is so good; they have more than 40 years experience in preparing Thai food.

For dinner on 1-​14-​2013:
Menu can be found at the following link:
The SF giants trophy tour was making a pit stop in Richmond, CA at the Civic Auditorium, so I found myself a few blocks away from Heng Heng Restaurant. It took about an hours time to wait thru the line and snap a pic with the two Giants’ World Series trophies. By the time we left the event, we had worked up an appetite and Heng Heng was reopening for dinner (5p).
I was glad to see they had a customer parking lot when I pulled up. The young man working the counter seated us at a table and was kind enough to provide a high chair for my little toddler son (booster chairs are available too). After browsing through the menu I decided on a pad Thai dish, vegetable fried rice, and spicy basil. The same person who had greeted us was also taking orders.
The restaurant is spacious (perfect for large groups), walls are all in red and with the exception of a few pictures, the décor is a bit on the drab side. But I actually preferred it this way, an unpretentious ambiance. My son who usually can’t sit still was bouncing around. Fortunately, the restaurant was empty and our server was cool about it. Our food didn’t take long to come out of a back room area. My chicken basil was delicious — it was not too spicy and went perfect over two scoops of steamed white rice. The pad Thai was of an odd consistency. I had a hard time biting into the noodle; it wouldn’t break apart for me – maybe I had a bad chewing night. My son loved his Thai iced tea and I’ve got to admit it was pretty tasty.
All in all, if I found myself in the area, I’d come here in an instant. Considering the area is definitely lacking a good restaurant, Heng Heng! delivers on quality food, service, and above all value. It is no wonder that so many locals become regulars here.
The deal: I purchased a Groupon deal: $ 12 for $ 25 worth of Thai dinner at Heng Heng Heng! Thai Noodles.
(+++) must try: Thai iced tea & spicy chicken basil
(++) parking lot
(++) affordable prices ($ 5-​$ 10 /​per plate)

3 words. Bomb nom nom.
Great customer service. Owner is hilarious and cooks a mean ka na moo korb dish (secret menu). Its a super d lish pork belly with gai lan dish. Will be a regular here. Excited to hear they might have some fun activities in the future for after hours. Will be coming back frequently.

Got take out again tonight from Heng Heng Heng, which we are now thinking should be called Hot Hot Hot. We (my husband and I) like heat, but the food is way to hot to serve little kids. We have found Pad Thai is the only «safe» item on the menu for our little kids. I ordered yellow curry chicken tonight because there weren’t any peppers next to it on the menu thinking it would be great for the kids, boy was I wrong. It was great, but spicy. It would be nice if they asked you the level of spiciness you would like as some other thai places do, or even some other mild kid friendly dishes.
I have seen the Groupon deal they have offered several times and I would love to purchase it, but I really only see Heng Heng Heng as a take out joint and the offer is only good for dine-​in. The place is clean but cold and it reminds me of a food court in a mall. Although the staff is lovely, the atmosphere is not what I want when we choose to eat out.

I couldn’t stop eating my shrimp pad thai! It was so yummy! I am so happy they offer shrimp in theirs versus chicken which I could care less for AND they don’t charge extra for it! YAY!
Cash only. Small place, small parking lot. Big portions for a big appetite!
FREE WIFI for those starving students!

Amazing soup noodles!!!
So very impressed with flavor, spicing, cleanliness — -refreshing food. Hot, comforting bowls of goodness; perfect for this time of the year. The spring roll apps are not worth ordering. Filling is not preferred, at all — -
Coming back — again n again n again.
Place is spotless… appreciate eating great Asian food without the acompanying usual stick-​goo feel, as is wont to be sometimes.

Finally made it over to Heng Heng Heng! (which is very close to us in Richmond), and we are glad we did.
First off; VERY genuinely friendly and helpful staff.
Second; food was fantastic.
Third; prices were reasonable.
The décor isn’t anything to write home about, but is fine for writing about on Unilocal.They’ve kept it simple and basic, so whereas you won’t ever say that it is «intimate» or «inviting», you certainly won’t find it to be bad. Very clean, and simple. Although MacDonald Avenue isn’t so amazing to look at, we DID very much like the huge picture windows that face the street.
Food; well priced for how tasty it was. We got the Prawn Fried Rice which had large, perfectly prepared prawns, and the Panang Beef, which had excellent spices.
Is this the best Thai food we have ever had? No… but for the price, and the proximity to where we live, we’re sure to go back.
Drinks and appetizers help restaurants raise up the bottom line, but although both were offered (to be ordered), we did not feel pressured. The service, and friendliness of all the people who worked there was truly top-​notch.
So; we’re going back again to try their other dishes.
If you’re wondering if you should try Heng Heng Heng!, we say that you will be pleased by the quality for the price. Give it a try try try!

We’ve been here numerous times and the service is always nice. The food is very flavorful and tastes like home cooking. Thai ice tea is delicious. I like the Thai chili fried rice and the calamaris were good. I wish there were more options on the menu. They also have reward cards here too.

Freaking delicious. Best pad thai ever. Great service and killer food at a really reasonable price.
I have yet to find a better place to eat in Richmond, and I doubt I will anytime soon.

We ordered the 3 heng noodles and the duck w/​pineapple, and an appetizer of calamari.
The 3 heng noodles were mediocre at best. The broth was not very flavorful, neither was the pork. The duck was excellent although very fatty. The pineapple and cherry tomatoes were really fresh and vibrant, and thankfully had not had all of the life cooked out of them.
Cash only which kind of sucks for most modern people and kind of pricey (not surprising considering they originate from Berkeley). Watch out for their atm though, it trapped the cash of a few people that tried to withdraw from it. Not sure if the owners are trying to run some sort of scheme but be weary.

I am a BIG fan of Heng! Heng! Heng! My boyfriend knows the owner so went to support their business. When I crave Thai, I immediately associate my tummy rumbling for their food.
They are very accommodating to my vegetarian lifestyle and have actually omitted certain ingredients from their dishes so I can enjoy their food. 5 stars for service and food. Yum-​O.

Probably one of the better Thai places in the Richmond area.
Food comes out fast and hot (both temperature and spice!) and tastes great. The amount of food is VERY slightly below average, but the quality definitely makes up for it. Fresh veggies and meat set this place apart from the others.
Use the Unilocal deal though — it’ll definitely make you feel a little better about paying $ 8 for Pad Thai.
