You would never expected such delicious food from a place in the middle of a neighborhood but I would go back! Noodles and rice were so good and the lady that helped me was very nice.

No need to write a review. All you need to know is that it's literally a hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere (we were coming back from Yosemite) with home style food. Service is 10/10!

Great gem of a pan-Asian restaurant in Merced open til 8:30pm. They were gracious to let us sit down at 8pm on a Sunday after we came from a long drive and found most other restaurants were closed. The Pad Thai was very flavorful and the duck soup reminded me of pho. The service is wonderful, and the place reminds me of an old homey church potluck canteen. Would return :)

When I think of Merced comfort food, I think of this place! Commonly known as the Blue House (even though the restaurant is NOT the Blue House), I've been going to this restaurant for decades and it's been consistently comforting and of quality. The servers feel like family and are very welcoming and attentive. I usually get the combination noodles or the kaopoon. My brother LOVES the raw laab here. Apparently, it REALLY hits different. Prices are fair and the restaurant feels like you're eating in someone's dining room.

I've never been to Merced, so finding this little hole in the wall after a long commute was refreshing. Their portions with food such as the Phat Thai I ordered as well as the rice my partner ordered that went along with the curry; we were extremely happy with the size of our meal. At first glance, I will admit that I was hesitant to eat there, but as we pulled into the parking lot, and contemplated our hunger, I'm glad we didn't go elsewhere. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted by a nice older woman who I assume is the owner, and seated in the back of the building with the whole place to ourselves. This is a "home business," get it? It's a home converted into a restaurant. Anyway, it was really clean inside; however, my biggest complaint is probably how awkwardly quiet it was. There was no ambiance like music playing to make us feel comforted while eating since we can hear the people in the front talking loudly amongst themselves while preparing orders. The woman who had seated us took our orders right away and the food was brought out soon after. Finally, the food. Well, drinks. The Thai tea is as sweet as any Thai tea you order at most Asian eateries, so you can dilute it with water to lessen the sweetness if you need to. The yellow curry had an adequate spice level with soft potatoes and an interestingly textured, chewy chicken. It wasn't bad, just... interesting. The curry broth with its veggies were very good though and the huge bowl of rice was freshly made for us. The Phat Thai, with additional charges, was served on a large platter with added seafood (shrimp & calamari), but I overall ordered chicken as the main protein for the dish. We couldn't finish the food, and the lady from earlier asked if we needed boxes for everything, even the drinks. I'm satisfied with the service and quality of the food. Would you pay $46+tip for all of this? Um, I'll let you guys decide yourselves.

Pad Thai The pad Thai is sooo good!! It's my first time going I will most def be returning!
