Champa Garden Restaurant - Redding (CA)

5 /5 Claire Holman: This place is phenomenal! The pho is delicious and the staff is so friendly. I always get the beef pho and the staff even gave me extra broth for free one time. The broth is so rich and flavorful. Highly recommended.

5 /5 William Evanusich: So me and the kid wandered in here after Comicon and we have never eaten here before. This Tia place is awesome! The food was so delicious! Even my 16 year old said his soup was amazing. He never had a soup with bean noodles before and he loved it. He even asked if we could take one of them home to cook for us. Then there was the extreme friendliness of the entire staff that the 16 year old also noticed and commented on! Jack was very helpful, and our waitress Rose was also beyond kind and courteous. I was so impressed with the meal, I went to compliment the cook, and it turned out he was the owner! Well done Sai! I forgot what I had was called, but it had chicken, onions, mint, served with cucumbers and leaf lettuce. It was served in the old Korean style of bulgogi Rice I use to have when I was stationed at Kwang-Ju AB, Korea! Big was also helpful. This place operated like a well oiled machine, and the food came out very very quick. So I highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back, all the way from Red Bluff!

5 /5 Osleydis Diaz: Nice Thai place. The food was excellent — I ordered the green curry with brown rice. All my friends loved their dishes as well. One of our Asian friends mentioned it tasted like authentic Thai-Lao cuisine

5 /5 Mariana Lampman: My new goal is to try everything because it is phenomenal and full of flavor. When they say spicy they mean it! Pictured is chicken pho, pair of quail (highly recommend these succulent little birds!), and Thai papaya salad.

4 /5 DeeDee: My only complaint has to do with the service. The food was tasty, and the hostess was super friendly, offering water while we waited for a table. However, her energy felt rushed. The whole atmosphere feels rushed. She offered us a menu while we were waiting and then asked if we wanted her to take our order before sitting down. That should have been a red flag that they would try to rush us out so they could turn the table. I probably would have been fine with all of that, but when the waiter brought our food, he flung it onto the table so fast it gave me whiplash. No interaction with us. My husband asked for another beer. We weren’t sure he even heard us, but a couple of minutes later he brought a beer, saying, “You asked for another beer, right?” I’m happy this place is popular and that they’re able to turn tables around so fast, but the place feels rushed and not the type of restaurant that makes you feel welcome to sit and enjoy your food. This place would be great if the waitstaff just took a couple of extra seconds to acknowledge their customers. There is room for improvement. To the male waiter — you do not need to power-walk around the restaurant flinging food onto the tables. It ruins the ambiance. Slow down a little; it would make for a much better experience for your customers.
