I just came to the United States to eat once. I haven’t been here for a long time. The decoration of the store and the food are different. It’s very good. The curry is delicious.

Steven Lam
Great food with outdoor seating. Love that this places offers that and has seafood in their Tom kha as an option. The food is usually spicy so be sure to mention that you want mild or no spice.

Hidden in a strip mall this gem serves authentic and delicious Thai food. Loved the Panang Curry in particular. We will be back here regularly.

Ryan Stone
This is one of my very favorite Thai places. The food is delicious but the lunch special is even better. Less than $8 for soup, salad, wontons, rice and a choice of entree. Pictured is my favorite, the Pad See Ew but the Pad Thai is also killer too. The staff is super sweet and getting takeout is so easy. They deliver too!

A NEW OWNER took over 2 years ago, the PRICES are too HIGH and the quality of food too LOW. Portions of food are ridiculously SMALL. Too bad, we used to like this place.

Richard Hawkins
This place has really gone down hill in recent years. This place used to have really incredibly good Thai food for the money, but now you’re honestly much better off getting recipes to make at home from Trader Joe’s. The price is high and the food quality and flavors are just not there anymore.
