Was not expecting to be as impressed as the reviews say, but we were! We got the panang chicken and the pad thai. The pad thai was especially amazing. We will be coming back next time we pass through Santee! Don’t let the outside deceive you. We did not get a chance to talk to the owner but we observed his interactions with the other guests. I can see why there are great things to say

We totally passed this place by because it is in an old strip mall with gas station. It is an old building but we knew when we saw the cars, it was going to be ok. The place was super busy. We were greeted and seated quickly. We did a meal choice of apps and entrée. I had spicy cashew shrimp with 5 heat. It was not spicy enough but the veggies were crisp and fresh. It was a large dish and flavorful. I enjoyed the spicy roll for my app and watched the chef make it with close seating. Our beverages were always filled and we were checked on by several of the staff. They were super friendly! I asked for chopsticks and was given a nice wooden set, not disposable. Loved that! Our meal was inexpensive and tasty. Thank you!

Small family run Thai restaurant with a personal touch. I got the Pad Prik Khrig with chicken and it was a five star for me. The chef takes personal interest in your likes and dislikes and is very friendly.

Looks can be deceiving. This little place off if I-95 was a wonderful find on my road trip. The owner is super friendly and explained the dishes and spice levels wonderfully. They grow their own herbs and have homemade sauces. What they also have is their home grown Ghost Pepper… beware all ye who choose to eat it ! Check YouTube for possible outcomes of consuming that pepper ;)

I love this place! It is an Oasis in the desert. I have been here a couple of times and make it a point to stop, even if it is a little out of the way. Daniel, who works the sushi, is really amazing at it. I would recommend for you to say that you want something special and let him know what you like because he is great at using ingredients that you wouldn’t think about in sushi(like tempura jalapeños). The quality of food they have is good, even if it wasn’t out here in Santee. I am a huge fan, and will always recommend the place!

Great option for normal food on our way back from Florida. Thanks to Unilocal we were able to have a good and tasty meal. Very attentive service.

Excellent Thai food and super friendly service by the owner. All the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and they cook to order. This is a great place to stop when you’re on I-95 — it’s right off the exit.

Really good food!!! It’s a little restaurant in a less than attractive gas station strip mall, but don’t let that keep you away. Delicious spring rolls, hibachi, and pad thai, all freshly prepared! It’s a shame we’re only passing through or else I’d be back often.

Great little hole in the wall! Traveling from Orlando back home to NY and found this great review on Unilocal.So glad we came here and avoided all fried chicken and fries that makes you feel gross after you eat. They have a great variety of Asian cuisine! Highly recommend!

Stopped here on a road trip to Florida. Excellent and fairly-priced food. I had the pad see ew with tofu and it was one of the best Thai dishes I have had. Many choices for vegans/vegetarians as well as beer and wine choices.

Excellent food but service is horrendously Slow. Had Penang duck and a bottle of happy Buddha beer. Great flavored. Took about 25 minutes for the waitress to take an order, and it looked like the cook came over to take orders and deliver the order.

Omg! What a find! The food was excellent even though the temperature of the small restaurant wasn’t pleasant. The restrooms needed some interior decorating but who cares? I came for the food and took a chance on a local spot. They had excellent customer services and were very friendly. I have this place bookmarked

If this book had a cover it would be ragged and worn but upon opening this tale you would find it to be a most amazing experience. While the outside does not look like much, the inside, food… drinks…service are amazing… Highly recommend the build your meal if it offers items you will enjoy. Traveling from NY to FL and will most certainly stop if in the area again.

A great deal make your own meal. I chose angel wings and half spicy crab, with 3 flavor flounder topped off with a Thai beer! Excellent! We also had spring roll, sweet and sour soup, and curried chicken. Again yum! Finally chicken wings, house salad with ginger dressing and fried rice! No complaints! Delightful people. Again, don’t get turned off by the location — the best is inside not out!

Excellent food and a welcome respite from the chain foods and fast food along the I95! This small restaurant in a gas station strip mall doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it offers a delicious array of Asian food: Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and even some Korean. I had the lunch special with ginger chicken, teriyaki salmon, sushi, salad and fried rice. Generous portions and delicate but distinct flavors. My husband had a seafood soup where he could adjust the spiciness from a level 1 to 10. The Thai fried rice is excellent and my son enjoyed his beef phở, although he said the ingredients weren’t entirely authentic(no bean sprouts, cabbage and onions instead). The owner is delightful. He is chatty, but not annoyingly so. He made sure we had everything we needed and I heard him walk other diners through the menu offerings, making suggestions where appropriate.

A really great find off the culinary desert of I 95. Tasty Thai food, pleasant and helpful service, and a knowledge of vegan requirements. Totally excellent!

A tiny, family run, authentic restaurant where guests are treated like family. Ignore the exterior!!! The food is amazing and the hospitality blew me away! Everything we ordered was made fresh and was delicious. Great place to take kids. Very convenient location just off I-95.

Don’t be frightened by the gas station parking lot. After all, you are in a small southern town. I grew up in SC… people used to always hang out at the«filling station» Sam, the owner, is a genuine friendly man and has been a cook for decades. He, with the help of his family, deliver a great meal in a cordial atmosphere. I recommend the Pad Thai. It’s a little bit sweet, a little but spicy, with a good peanuty flavor. It’s a great place to start, if you haven’t had Thai cuisine before. Sam will even adjust the amount of spice for you in case you’re afraid of it being too hot. I have had Thai food in Boston and Seattle. Sam can hold his own at this place… in Santee!
