Ordered the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew as take-out. Both were tasty as far as Thai food goes, and the prices were decent. One down is the amount of time it takes to get the food. For those two dishes I had to wait a little over 30 minutes. I sat it out in my car. Next time I'll pre-order over the phone.

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent meal of Pad Kee Mao (top in photo) and Mixed Vegetables with Chicken. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao with medium hot seasoning, and it was deliciously done - spicy but not burning! Sometimes Thai food is very salty, but here it is not too much - some might want to add salt to the meats. We try not to eat too much salt, so this was perfect for us! This was our first time under the new ownership (too long!) and we will be back soon! This was a very reasonable meal out - $35! The decor is basic and functional - not a fancy dinner out. There are comfortable chairs and tables. No booths. I need to eat Gluten Free, so Thai food always gives good choices!

Excellent dining experience at Chaba. Great value and very enjoyable food. Atmosphere was comfortable for individuals and families. The salad that came with the entree had great sauce. It was a great start to the meal. Will be back here much more frequently going forward. Dine in for the full non plastic container experience. Food temperature was great and the plates and silverware did not use any disposable plastic. Such great food.

I ordered take out. The wonton soup is great. The broth was amazing. I also ordered their Basil Wings, spicy. They had a spicy, orange chicken flavor to them.

Eaten at Chaba twice and it’s been a very good experience. The curry and rice is very tasty when mixed together and good quality. I highly recommend mild spicy as even the medium is pretty hot. The Fried Wontons were pretty good as well as the Thai Cold Coffee. The Customer service is excellent. You definitely get bang for the buck when it comes to lunch price. If I had one recommendation for improvement is the restaurants is a little dated and could use an upgrade inside.

Smaller restaurant, serves the usual Thai food offerings: pad thai, curry but with a distinct flavor ( not sure what regional variations there are). Delicious, easy ordering ahead for takeout. Limited indoor dining seating. Very mild mannered staff.

A good place to get tasty Thai food. Several options from your basic Penang Curry, Thai salad, Thai fried rice, Thai basil, Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. Mix it along with Thai tea and have Mango sticky rice for dessert. They utilize Thai ingredients that bring out so much flavor. Good food and efficient service, can't go wrong with this place.
