"The food at Khao San is excellent, with generous servings at a reasonable price. The golden chicken fried rice was exactly as described by other reviewers, with plenty of rice and leftovers to take home. While I was hoping for Filipino-style fried chicken, the breaded fillet was more American than Asian. However, the light and crispy breading and juicy chicken made up for it. The pad thai is the best in Monterey County, with a perfect sauce. Although it lacked bean sprouts on the side like our favorite pad thai at TK Noodles, it was still delicious and served in generous portions. Another plus was being able to dine in and enjoy the nice restaurant atmosphere with ceramic dishes, real silverware, and filtered water. Overall, with good food, service, portions, and pricing, I highly recommend Khao San."
