Great food at good prices. Nice sized outdoor and indoor eating spaces. Staff was very responsive and helpful. Food came out fast and was well prepared. Pad Ke Mao was my favorite dish of our 5 plate family style lunch; noodles perfectly cooked, not all stuck to each other, vegetables were fresh and the chicken was perfectly browned.
Just tried this restaurant out tonight as it replaced one previously there and I was hoping it might be a good replacement. Overall, this is a decent, but not great restaurant. The indoor and outdoor seating areas are nice and the service is good. We had vegetable rolls, mango salad, Pad Se Ew, and pumpkin curry with duck - most of this was good, but not the best I've eaten with the exception of the pumpkin curry. The pumpkin curry was not well prepared - the curry sauce was very tasty, but the ingrediants tasted like they were just tossed at the last minute and the pumpkin and vegetables were almost raw. Unfortunately, this restaurant seems to be following a lot of Thai restaurants that give you any meat/tofu you want with any dish - this seems like a good idea, but for dishes like the pumpkin curry that benefit from slower cooking, this does not work at all.
Great food, we ordered the seafood fried rice and pad thai both tasted good. It is centrally located so parking is a bit tough. Pan is an amazing hardworking woman who made our experience better.
Duck fried rice was great! As was the fried banana ice cream!
Boat noodles.
The only two words you need to know to be totally converted to this place. I've tried a lot of restaurants take of the beloved boat noodle, and Hoy-Ka's is by far my favorite.
Unique atmosphere. Roomy
For such a hip spot in Hollywood, prices are cheap and affordable
Great food at a reasonable price in San Mateo downtown.
MY FAVOURITE THAI RESTAURANT! Friendly service. Chicken satay was nice but could use more peanut sauce! The pineapple rice was super tasty and went well with everything. I could taste the fire they used to cook the salt and pepper prawns. The Tom kha gai is a little too sweet and the chicken is tough but it's good too
Good service and nice employees, god place and environment. Meat quality was sad, I ordered hot and sour soup, chicken pineapple fried rice and red curry chicken. Good food but not the best, small flavors, and no sticky rice available.
