Came here with my friend for the food vendors that they have every week. This place is cash only and you have to exchange the cash for tokens, if you don’t use the tokens they give you cash back. Parking was a bit of a hassle. People were friendly, I came for dessert and enjoyed. It was 2 flavors of ice cream with sticky rice and a thin waffle for $10.

Get the fried banana and meat ball on a stick because they are amazing here. I haven't stop by this Thai Temple in years but it all changed today. I wanted to get some food for my fiancée to try so I came here with my sister and parents. They have more parking than before because the old gas station is gone and they took that space for parking spots. We came around 9am and most of the food places were open. I got the Mango with sticky rice, fried banana, meatball on a stick, Thai Tea, their green dessert and the banana leaves wrapped with sticky rice and banana inside. The prices did increase but it's inflation so it wasn't a surprise. I got charge extra when I asked for no ice on the Thai Tea so I was surprise about that.

very nice Thai style temple. looks very similar to the ones I saw in Chiang Mai (Thailand). they had several food tents but all of them have been closed, most probably because of covid. after covid I will come again as what I read the food is very good :)

OMG best authentic Thai/Chinese food can be found here. Only available during the weekend, most serving is about $5, Asian portion, not American portions mind you, so you get to try out different items. My cravings are papaya salad, especially on hot summer days, the fried potatoes balls, yams, and bananas are definitely a crowd pleaser, the batter they used is ahmazing! I believe they switch vendors every weekend, you can't go wrong with pad Thai, pad see ewe, and my favorite is the buffet style stall, it's not all you can eat, you can select 2 items with rice or alacarte for $5! Can't beat that, and oh so delicious, especially the pork in dark sauce. They really like it when you bring your own pyrex, Tupperware or containers. The only slight inconvenience is you have to swap cash for tokens to purchase food, it's like a mini fare every weekend, absolutely love it! We usually get the food to go and buy extra for lunch next day, we don't particularly enjoy the open/like karaoke with loud speakers, it's fun in the beginning but can get annoying after a while haha Parking can be also inconvenient if you arrive later in the day, it's usually within the temple but can spill out to the nearby residential neighborhood. Come early so you'll be in and out in a jiffy, or not!

Are they still selling food at the temple on weekends?

Even bigger and with better parking. You can park in the parking lot on the corner now. The temple bought the old gas station then turned it into parking lot for customers.

Yup me, their foods made for Thai consumers so they are a little more authentic than your normal Thai restaurants. As far as taste and prices, I would give them a B minus.

Hello, do they allow people to bring dogs onto the grounds?

Tiffany Pracha | Sep 2, 2018
Ployberley OFFee | Sep 2, 2018

This is Thailand Wat(Temples). Thai folks(most Asian that I know) they love peace and Respectful. I am not sure if they allow you to bring dog there inside Wat where Monk's meditation or chanting. Maybe the dog can stay outside around the temple but not inside. It's not going to hurt you if you asking them. Tiffany, I wish you good luck!

Is the temple open to the public? If so, what are any customs that visitors should adhere to?

Louis Smith (Louie) | Sep 2, 2018
Ai nah Meee | Sep 2, 2018

Just basic common sense for going to a sacred place. Basically, no sexy dress, lound noise and shoes off once you are in the temple or other mini templates. I would suggest Saturday and Sunday, they have food court. You get to taste authentic Thai food for cheap.
