OMG, Coconut River Park is the best Thai food in town! Their noodle dishes like drunken noodles and pad Thai are amazing, and the curries are to die for. 10/10. This is a must visit place for anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine at a reasonable price.

The Yellow Curry is fantastic. It's super sweet and rich, the best Thai curry I've had in Sacramento. The servers are very kind and polite, and the establishment plays cute little piano arrangements of love tunes and pop songs. Will go back again

This Thai restaurant provided a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience, perfectly catering to our cravings on a Friday lunch outing. Esteban's selection of the Yellow Curry was an absolute delight. The curry sauce had a wonderful depth of flavor. Each bite was a balance of flavors that truly hit the spot. Jake's choice of the Drunken Noodles was equally satisfying. The noodles were cooked well and the beef was well-seasoned. As for my order, the Se Ew Chicken Noodle Dish was a standout vs. other Thai venus. The chicken and noodles mixed together were juicy and infused with complex flavors creating a satisfying taste with every bite. *Checkin on Yelp for a daily $2 Beer.

I know that y'all have been raving about the coconut, and I can absolutely see why. This is their original location, located near SAC State University, if you blink, you just might miss it. It's in a strip center with a couple of other restaurants. The interior is Uber, casual, and the food is Uber. Tasty. Friends introduced me to this hotspot. Yes, it's a hotspot because their food is made fresh daily, and everything is made in house. It's like having your mom cook for you. I ordered the Thai tea, and it was so tasty that I found the bottom of the glass, a lot faster than I hoped I would. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken. Everything about the dish was pretty tasty. The yellow curry was very mellow, the vegetables, tender, and there is plenty of protein. Much more than I expected. I'm personally not a fan of thinly sliced chicken because I find it becomes too Overcooked. At least for me. It was delicious nonetheless. Service was impeccable, and the wait staff is really nice. I love that the curry comes with purple rice. Something that I've wanted to try, and I was so glad that I did. It's nutty, and simply delicious. I know most people would put some in their curry, but I enjoyed it as is Great spot, reasonably priced, and you definitely get your moneys worth! As I mentioned, it's pretty casual dining. It's a great place to meet up with friends, a casual date, or for that matter just bring the family !

My job wanted The Coconut for lunch so I was browsing the menu online and noticed varying pricing which made ordering confusing. If you go to coconutriverpark.com, the pot stickers are $5.95, if you order via Yelp they are $11.64 and if you go to thecoconuttogo.com they are $8.95. So if placing an order online, use the coconut to go website because those are the actual prices. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken in medium spice. TIP: remember, Thai spicy is different than regular spicy. I like some spice and the medium spice was just right for me but it definitely had my nose running. I also got the potstickers and while I'm not really a fan of steamed potstickers, I did enjoy the crispy garlic bits. The potstickers themselves were also good, don't get me wrong. The ginger sauce it came with was nice and thick so it stuck to the potstickers unlike soy sauce would. The ginger sauce was also kind of sweet, it tasted more like a plum sauce to me but I still enjoyed it. The yellow curry had good flavor and quite a bit of chicken pieces but I feel it was overloaded with carrot and the carrot taste almost cancelled out any curry flavor so I ended up picking out a vast majority of the carrots. Overall it's pretty good, not somewhere I'd normally visit but would try again if the office decides to come here again.

Thai food is my jam. And if you've got a pineapple curry, odds are, I'm going to give you a try! And I was not disappointed one bit! So flavorful and delish. I got it to go, but found myself inhaling in my car because I smelt it... and it was over from there. I'm sure the people in the car next to me thought I was ravenous. The staff was super nice! The place is a little in between on weird vibe and chill vibe. I think to go is my vibe lol... but sitting in could be a potential. The best Thai places I've been to are all that way. Next, I'll try the cashew chicken. So stand by for an update

Tucked away in a small shopping strip there was plenty of parking. I phoned my order ahead of time and their service was fabulous. They offered me utensils when I paid for my order and the total was $17.35 for the beef May 2023. The food was piping hot! It was a nice portion with lots of protein. I was fishing for the noodles at some point lol. The interior was very cute and clean. Overall had a great experience and would frequent this establishment if I was closer. Their pad Thai is the best I've had thus far
