Let me tell you why I've been here with my partner so many times! The food is true to it's nature. In other words, everything is made from scratch and free of engineered flavors and other fillers that should not even be considered as edible food. If you want flavored crap then go to East Side Mario's or any other cookie cutter restaurant.

This site should have two ratings for food. Food taste and food quality.
I'd give them 4/5 for taste and 5/5 for quality. Some of the dishes are a little simple but still very good. The dessert fridge is noisy but I would always go up to it to check out what fresh desserts are available for devouring. Desserts are home made and most are very rich. I would like to see some less rich desserts as well.

Interior reminds me of a simple but inviting European eatery.

We need more restaurants like this.

We come here at least once a month when I'm craving Vietnamese food. The family owned restaurant is located in a strip mall. The ambiance is a little nicer then fast food restaurants. One of the friendly family members will take your order after you seat yourself down. The restaurant is usually half full during lunch or dinners so I'm surprised how fast the food comes out after ordering.

Chicken dishes are my favorite and I usually get vermicelli noodles instead of rice and egg instead of the fried roll.

I used to order bubble tea here all the time but for the last 6 months they don't have any black pearls. Black pearls are the only reason why I like bubble teas.

I would not recommend ordering soups as they are usually mostly water and flavor.

Worth a try for sure as dishes are affordable and range around $7.50

We decided to give Chada Thai another try after not going back for over a year. They have added new black solar screens so you can't see into the restaurant during day time and cramped more tables into the little dining space they have but it was pretty quiet so I did not mind.

To start, we ordered pan-seared tiger prawns marinated in chilli and garlic ginger sauce with a green apple salad for $12. This sounds really good right but I only had some of the 2 table spoons of salad that came with the 4 shelled, fried and intestine left in prawns. The prawns were sliced in half so it looked like you got 8. The worst part was the eyes still intact on 2 of the prawns. Yuk not for me.

For the main course I ordered Chada Thai five-spices grilled chicken served with fried rice and plum sauce for $26. This also sounds delicious but not. I was shocked to see $2 costing on a $26 dish. Basically I got 1 grilled chicken leg on vegetable fried rice and there was no plum sauce.

My partner ordered steamed fish (basa) stuffed with ginger, green onion, lemon, cilantro served with grilled asparagus, carrot, baby corn, and mango sauce. I guess I had to share his plum sauce. He liked his dish even though is was tiny but presented very well.

The service can't speak English very well and they did not bother to ask how our meals were. Lucky for them cause I was ready :)

I looked across the street at KFC and told my partner that I'd rather have their chicken leg for $2 or what ever KFC charges for chicken legs.

On the positive side, the Chada Thai infused ice and mint drink for $2.50 was very good and the complementary mint patty was good too.

My partner and I go here twice a month.

Food is always pretty consistent, fresh sashimi and I only had an upset stomach once after eating here. Dinner boxes over over priced for the amount you get. I usually order, miso soup, garden salad with avocado slices, chicken tariyaki roll and California roll with no topico.

Service is a different story. Rarely our dinner arrives at the same time and sometimes one of us will start eating dinner after the other one finishes.
I've complaind about this a few times but they will act all confused or pretend they don't understand especially if you ask the manager/host lady who's personality comes across as one of the chickens from the movie "Chicken Run". She seated us so many times but always acts as if she has never seen us before.

Don't expect to get anything free if the make a mistake or you don't like something.
Just today when I wrote this review, I ordered a small side garden salad but they served me a large garden salad. When I informed my waitress, she took my plate away and had a huddle with the host/manager and another waitress for a short time. Apparently this task required the brain power from all 3 of them to solve this crisis. 5 minutes later I got my side salad.

I've tried most of the Japanese restaurants in this area. I feel pretty safe eating their food and for this reason I will return here when I'm craving Japanese.
