Bad customer service, 10/9/2009
Reviewer: Diana
from Santa Barbara, CA
For a take-out type of place, the food is quite expensive (unless you get the lunch boxes). Make sure to call in your order in advance or prepare to wait a while for your food to be cooked up. When I placed my lunch order (got the yellow curry), the "manager" said 25min. It took 45 min to get my food and I had to ask for it. Sad part about this was that there were no customers, just me. And even when the food was ready on the counter, he didn't even let me know my food was ready. Had to take it to go because my lunch hour had run out. The only thing that's good is the curry (pad thai not worth ordering here). The service is bad... english barely spoken here. Let's just say that if you don't like it, then simply just don't come back. The owner doesn't seem to care much about gaining any loyal customers. But I suppose if you like the food, you'll come back.

Ordered the pork chow mein lunch box, delicious!!! Big portion, freshly made, I also enjoyed a couple of jelly filled donut holes (best place in town for donuts).

Great simple thai + donuts, 1/4/2009
Reviewer: Steve
from Santa Barbara, CA
I was very skeptical when I noticed that this donut shop sold thai food, but took a chance and was rewarded. The lunch specials are inexpensive yet large and tasty. Lots of vegetarian (if you don't mind fish sauce) options. They also sell curry dishes and phad thai in larger portions, great for family take-out night.

Good donuts "to go", 12/10/2008
Reviewer: chee
from Santa Barbara, CA
I love taking the donuts to go. the ambience of this place is slightly retro, but it's fun to pick and choose a few options and take them home to eat on the couch in front of the TV. I had the cake crumb donut (I can't believe I found a place that makes these!) and a bavarian cream mini donut. They weren't stale at all, good texture, and firm and cakey enough to qualify as legit "donuts," but not too airy and artificially-flavored as some grocery store donuts.

Barely Passing Food/Service
Reviewer: Glenn
from Buellton
The food was just passing on my scale. Pad Thai did not have a lot of extra ingredients in it and was too much on the greasy side though it was a big portion. The donuts did not taste too fresh though I did go at the end of the day. The service consisted of a woman watching a soap over my shoulder and did not get my donut order right like I was not there. There is cafeteria style seating(barely). Only positive is no tip but I think I would go elsewhere to get better quality in both asian food & donuts. The wait seemed long for the quality also.

Who knew donuts and Thai food go so well together?
Reviewer: Julia
from Santa Barbara
I've never seen a half-donut shop, half Thai-food shop before! The moment I walked in, it smelled like fresh donuts -- yummy! They had special green St. Patty's day donuts, and they were delicious. They had a good variety of yummy looking donuts. I also had the coconut donut, it was perfectly fluffy! I also ordered the Phad Thai to go. The guy who took my order was very smiley and friendly. He told me ten to fifteen minutes for the noodles, and it was ready in exactly 15 min! I've had better Phad Thai before though... I wish it came with bean sprouts, eggs, and tofu.... but the taste was really good. I would definitely go back, I want to try the curry.

Spectacular food and service
Reviewer: Maria
from Goleta
I have to say from my experience I love their selection of food. I recommend people to go there any time of the day for a meal. I have been going there with my grandfather since I was really young, and not once have I been disappointed. The employees there are also very friendly and welcoming the minute you step in.

The Best Donuts Ever!
Reviewer: Amy
from SB
Can I just tell everyone, trust me, this is the place to get the best donuts anywhere! I read a review here looking for some yummy treats for friends and coworkers, and boy did I find some! I took these donuts to work and each person commented on how fresh and delicious they were. I had an apple fritter (it was huge!)and it was the best one I have ever tasted. So fresh and light, not greasy or heavy at all. Anyway just try it! You won't be sorry. I am not allowed to drive out that way too often though! Too irresistible.

two thumbs up
Reviewer: elle
from goleta
My company orders donuts from Eller's, and I decided to pit stop. Delicious is all I have to say! My cinnamon roll was fresh, and luckily I stopped myself from buying a second one! I have yet to try the Thai food, but I would not be surprised if it was just as good as their donuts!
