I originally went for the Sunday market. While the food was nice (mango and sticky rice, red bean paste-filled sesame balls, fried bananas), the bigger draw is the beautiful Thai temple and the lush plants and trees surrounding it. There is outdoor seating right by the river. Easy to get to and definitely worth a visit.

They are open, of course not like pre covid! You’ll have to get a paper menu to write your order down and wait in line to have your order fulfilled. Get there early otherwise a lot of the food items would be sold out. Very nice day to be able to sit by the river and picnic table to enjoy the food. Hopefully it will be back to pre covid time where all the vendors were opened and serving freshly made hot foods on the spot.

Glad to have a new favorite place to go around here. We went there on Thai’s New Year day (Songkran) and it was pretty crowded. The line for ordering Thai food was incredibly long. Atmosphere was super nice, peaceful, and beautiful.

An experience for the soul. They also have food with many picnic tables to sit and enjoy. The view of the temple and river is great. Line for food was long and they ran out of food towards the end so get there early. Clean bathroom facility.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Sam Giancana | May 11, 2022

No, you can park and get out to order. Everything is ordered in one location under 1 tent. You will get a number and they will call you when your order is ready. The picknick tables are available to sit and eat. Unfortunately there was no other vending like it used to be. Only food for sale. Wish they would open back up 100% the way it was before. It was really nice then.

Is the Temple open for Brunch Easter Sunday?

Rebecca Spurlock | Sep 8, 2021
EL DIABLO | Sep 8, 2021

Their website states there is only a drive through food market at this time till further notice. As for it being Easter Sunday it should not make a difference since it is a Buddhist Temple and they don't observe Christian Holidays. Your best bet is to call tomorrow to confirm website details. It will be nice when the full market opens again.
