  I had drove past this restaurant for a few months, and I decided to try it the other day when I was in the mood for some Thai food. Yet I did check Yelp first before dining at this restaurant and I was very impressed with the reviews.
  
  Overall, I loved most of the food I ordered, they give you a lot of great food for the money! I had the #4 Egg Rolls, and they were some of the best egg rolls I have ever had! I had the #23 Tom Kah Kai (Hot & Sour Chicken Coconut Soup), but I did not really care too much for their Tom Kah Kai soup, it was rather bland and had too much lemon or lime juice that overpowered the soup. I ordered the House Special (H1), which was a combination of Thai B.B.Q. Chicken, Chicken Satay, and Chicken Fried Rice, which was DELICIOUS! Based on the portions of food that I got, it is easily enough to feed 2 people, yet again, you get a lot of great food for your money!
  
  Best of all, the service was very friendly and fast. The dining room was very casual and nice. I enjoyed dining here. I DEFINITELY will come back here on a regular basis.

  Updated: originally gave 2 stars but I just threw the rest of my order in the trash. I don't recommend eating here, there are tons of Thai places around with higher quality food. I'll never, ever go back.
  
  Just picked up cashew chicken and it does not taste fresh at all. The cashews are soft and getting stuck in my teeth like gum. This is gross.

  I feel ashamed for not writing a review literally years ago.
  
  I've been a somewhat frequent customer of this location alongside my wife. The staff always, and I mean always, is very friendly. More often than not they will even provide some chai tea just because.
  
  Strongly recommend yellow chicken curry with brown rice. They have the best curry and I rarely order anything else. I did try one of their chow mein orders before, but it still couldn't compare to the delicious curry they have... so I never tried anything new... ever again... to me this is my personal curry house. Convenient location, never too busy, takes to go orders over the phone and very, very quick service.
  
  Fellow yelpers, understand this: supporting small businesses is important for our economy. This is definitely one I would encourage you to do so with. Their shop is so cozy too.

  Bangkok Sapphires is located in a small corner strip mall across the street from Alondra Park. They seem to do a fair amount of take out and delivery business but they also have about a dozen tables inside for sit down meals. On Friday afternoon business seemed light and service was very friendly and prompt.
  
  I started with Thai Sticks. These were identified as a 'House Special' and came with three pieces. Skewered on each stick was a shrimp around which a chicken and pork mix was wrapped, covered with mild spices, and deep fried. The chicken and pork were the most substantial and strongest tasting element. The shrimp was average. The dipping sauce helped by adding some moistness to the partially dry meats and also added a nice sweet taste.
  
  My entree was the Squid with Chili Basil. The squid was scored with swirling cuts around it leaving large round tubes with a decorative pattern. The squid was fairly fresh, with only the slightest presence of a gummy resistance. The spicy sauce was labeled as 'hot' on the menu but wasn't very hot to my tongue. It had a nice sharp chili flavor, nicely completing my appetizer which had a sweet taste. There were some onions, basil leaves, and carrots along with the squid but they were minor elements of the dish. The white rice on the side was hot and only mildly starchy.
  
  The level of cleanliness here could be improved. From my table I could see the 'A' grade they got from the county health department, however, my table was sticky to the touch and both glasses were covered with water spots and one still had lipstick from a previous user. Despite some minor cleanliness issues the food here seems authentic and generally good.
