Reviews
Little Plearn Thai has been on our list since last year since we love festive restaurants, but what really impressed us is that the food is just as good as how pretty the space is ✨
What we ordered: Fresh Spring Rolls, Curry Puff, Pad Thai (SO fresh best Pad Thai I’ve had in the Bay, no debate), Panang Nua, Basil pork, Thai Yaki Soba, Duck Over Rice, Moo Dang & Crispy Pork Over Rice. They also have a limited Valentine’s drink menu
We can taste how fresh everything is. Hearing the story behind the restaurant made it even more special The owner’s grandmother started the business and STILL personally picks the fresh ingredients at the store. That kind of care shows in every bite.

We got there and immediately noticed how beautifully festive it was. That was really beautiful and intentional. My wife was real happy with her surprise. We were seated immediately, so that was a plus.
Our waitress provided helpful food and drinks suggestions. We ordered chicken wings as appetizers, I ordered Pad See Eew and my wife ordered the dry glass noodles with various meats and tofu (I forgot the name). The wings should have came out 1st.. but that was not the case. My food came out 1st without my wife’s. The chicken wings came out about 5 to 7 miss later and then my wife’s food came out.. about 2 mins after the wings.
While we both enjoyed our entrees, the wings were undercooked. Like they seemed done, but you could tell and taste that they needed to have fried a bit longer. One of them had a little redness on the bone. Nonetheless, we ate them. Our drinks were so delicious. She had the green Christmas one and I had the blue Christmas one. We put Soju (Korean alcohol) in them both. I got mine w/o whipped cream because I’m lactose intolerant (They were fine with leaving it off)…BUT, I did have her bring me sprinkles to add because I love sprinkles.
So far, the night was actually Purdue decent minus those lil hiccups. However, when the waitress came over to check on us and asked us if we needed boxes for the leftovers, we said we did.. but I still had half a drink left. Sure then brought the boxes and check. I did not understand why because I was actually going to order more drinks. However, at that point, I felt like we were being rushed to get up from our table. I told her that I was not ready for the check and she was adamant about me placing it on my section of the seating. I had to tell her again.. that we did not ask for the check and that we were not ready to leave yet. She walked away and then less than 5 mins from when she came.. someone else brought the bill. I had to day the same thing to him to.. that we were not ready for the bill.
I did not like that at all. No one else around us was provided the bill while so having food/drinks on front of them. I watched the movements, so why did this happen to us? No one should be rushed to get up while still enjoying their meal and/or drinks.
Although this did not happen to us, I am still putting it into my review due to witnessing it. The party next to us found a small crystal that looked exactly like glass in their noodle dish. One of them actually had it in his mouth due to taking a bite of his food. He stated that it was hard and definitely not food. He reported it to the same waitress who simply said ” Oh sorry, do you want me to get you a new plate of food”. She did not ask him if he was alright nor did she bring any manager over too talk matters over with them. They agreed to a new plate, but after we all discussed what just happened, they decided to get the plate of food taken off the bill. Even when they attempted to do that, they were met with the food is already cooking.. so they had to push a little bit to be heard. She took it off of the bill. I disliked how that situation was met. Lack of full apology, no managerial apology nor followup, no automatically insisting to clear it from the bill without being asked by the customer and the fact that they do expected the customer to pay any bill after going through possibly eating glass. My wife and I were appalled.
Following our satisfying meal, our desserts arrived. We opted for the classic mango sticky rice and their Valentine’s special dessert— strawberry mochi ice cream with strawberry whipped cream! Heaven for strawberry lovers.
The service was very welcoming, attentive and friendly. The interior was full of beautiful Valentine’s decorations, such as cute hearts! They even featured a love month menu with special drinks such as their Love Potion and Love is In The Air.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this place. This restaurant gives cozy and lovely vibes, making it an ideal choice for a special Valentines day dining experience!
Every dish is flavorful and so creative!
The staff members are a joy! They are very welcoming and accommodating!!
Definitely worth a visit!
