I’ve never wished I could revoke a tip as badly as after eating here. Service is slow, food is unremarkable, portion sizes are small, and the prices are insane. I wish I could highlight how small these take out boxes were..

Best Asian noodle soup in Santa Barbara. Khao Soi is mind bendingly good. I’m a frequent repeat enjoyer. Bangkok Street cleared my allergy clogged head while satisfying my hungry stomach. Best to sit at bar but takeout is excellent as well. Once we enjoyed take out in the Public Market bar with fresh craft beer.

My boyfriend and I frequent Empty Bowl for their amazing noodles when we need a quick delicious meal. We usually order out (Hangover noodles, soup, and summer rolls are our go-tos!) but it’s always fun to sit up at the noodle bar and watch the action. Hard workers, great service, amazing food!!!

Good food. Prices are a little on the pricey side for a soup. Soup was flavorful. The only thing I would change from the soup is to have them cut the chicken breast into slices because they put a whole piece of boneless chicken breast in the soup and it becomes difficult to hold with chopsticks. Don’t dare to drop that piece of chicken in your soup. It will splash all over your shirt. I gave this place five stars because customer service was great. Food was fresh. Chicken moist. Very clean place and the ambiance is nice. Very nicely decorated. I will be back.

I give 4.5 star overall and again i am a Thai gourmet. The noodles are and soups are a little expensive, ranging 14 to 15 dollars. But the food quality is great and the amount served is plenty.

This place is located in the middle of the Santa Barbara Public Market. Like all of the places in the Public Market you can take your food and eat at the market’s tables, but they also offer a limited number of seats right at the noodle bar. If you’re lucky enough to score a seat there, your food will be served in real bowls with real utensils. We weren’t so lucky and had to eat ours out of the to-go containers.

We tried the pad see ew (Wednesday special) and the duck buns, and I would highly recommend both. The flavors and experience were so delightful that the plan is to go back and work our way through the menu!

Located in the SB PUBLIC MARKET and their bar is first come first serve. I got the Khao Soi and they knocked it out of the park. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. The broth was hearty and had a fair amount of spice but I dumped their pickled peppers in there for more 🙂

Service was poor and food was greasy. The whole staff especially the manager had no respect for the customers. We had to wait for a long time while they were taking care of people who came after us! This horrible service is not only going to damage the restaurant industry it would damage the reputation of Sant Barbara. People come to this beautiful cozy town to relax and enjoy the food and the atmosphere they are not there to be humiliated and ostracized! I suggest retraining the management team and the whole staff. It’s true that Santa Barbara is a resort city or a resort destination and a lot of customers are visitors and may not come back but a good service should not be forgotten under any circumstances. Don’t forget they are not there for you they are there for the beautiful city of Santa Barbara so please respect the love they have for their favorite town.
