Thai Dawn Bistro - Victorville (CA)

1 /5 J: Worst experience ever. I’ve been going there quite often and usually order Tom Yum and Pad Thai. Today, I went there and ordered the same as usual, but realized that the sea mussels were rotten. I complained about it, and the staff came out and said, “What do you want me to do?” Therefore, I got upset and said I would report it to the health department, and she responded, “Go ahead.” Ouch. That wasn’t a professional response either. Come on! First of all, you should apologize and offer to replace it or something. Her response was very rude, especially since it was their fault for serving rotten sea mussels. Be careful if you go there and make sure to eat carefully. Don’t get sick from eating rotten food.

5 /5 C J “TASTEBUD COWBOY”: Im not a big fan of Thai food. But ever since Ive had to forcefully change my diet, Im giving certain foods that align with my diet a try. That said, I visited this place today not expecting to be wowed, but I was. I ordered an appetizer which consisted of some pork skewers, and it was delicious. We also ordered some other things, one of which was soup which was made with coconut milk and had mushrooms, shrimp, and white fish, and it was delicious. I promise to take pictures during my next visit, and write down the names of these delicious dishes. Needles to say I recommend this place to anyone who likes Thai food, and also to those who would like to venture into something different, fresh, and delicious. By the way, the service was also great!

3 /5 Pedram Moallemian: Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good, but the food is not. Fried rice left a lot to be desired. It was a large serving, with lots of onions and (only) two small slices of tomatoes, but the rice was closer to broiled and even sticky rice, not fried. Tom Yum soup was too spicy for my taste, but it’d have been completely flavorless without it. Furthermore, the space was freezing cold. It’s December in the High Desert, turn your heater on people!

5 /5 Christie Smith: Excellent cuisine! Great wait staff! This is my “Go To” spot for Thai Food whenever I am traveling through Victorville. I always order way too much food and amazingly I never have to take a Doggie Bag home because I eat it all right there. I’m a 5’3” 120lb woman that eats like a bird, but I always stuff myself at Thai Dawn Bistro. Larger parties can be accommodated but the preference would be smaller groups of 4 to 6, just so you won’t feel too crowded. Mellow Thai music adds to the ambiance.
