Meun Fan Thai Café

We were here to checkout UCSB, after our visit wanted to try some Thai food. We were skeptical about this restaurant but still wanted to give it a shot. It's a hidden gem, the food quality and taste was excellent and authentic Thai, something that you find in a high end restaurant. All the dishes we ordered were yummy. Would love to come back again.

Pad Thai and wonton cheese wrap for appetizers met up to my husband's standard. My Bangkok noodles were great and very flavorful while my Wonton soup for takeout was tasteless. I ordered wonton soup for dinner because of the cold weather. However, as soon as I saw an advertised Bangkok noodle soup picture on the table next to us, I decided to save Wonton soup for my next day's breakfast to try that Bangkok noodle bowl.I mentioned it to the server, but he didn't reply a word so I guess it is how their wonton soup is supposed to taste like water instead of flavorful broth. ?Atmosphere: small, clean, neat and well decorated restaurant space, but the room was cold. Without the hot soup to warm me up, I won't be able to stay.

Very inconsistent. Ive ordered medium spice and gotten no spice or really spicy. The panang is sometimes great, and other times really thin and wihtout much flavor. What I really dislike is ordering Tom yum soup and getting exactly 1/4 of a mushroom in a large serving that cost $16 for a soup that literally boasts two ingredients mushroom and lemon grass.! Mind you, it had at least 4 5 pieces of lemon grass that are not fun to chomp down on and have to pull out of your mouth becuase it nearly broke your teeth! Please put mushrooms in a soup that claims to have mushrooms!

This was my second visit my first wasn’t memorable so I thought I’d give it another try. It is a nice space and is clean. Service was fine, I liked that the menu is short and sweet.I ordered the tofu drunken noodles and was extremely disappointed with how little noodles I actually got. They came on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes ??? that just didn’t go very well. I don’t think I’d return again was pretty disappointed.

If you tell people you outside sitting you have to tell them they will sit in the hot sun , no umbrellas.
