Wife and I were trying to figure out what to eat and we came across this place. Staff was super friendly, food was amazing. Wife ordered the pompano and the ribs and she loved it. I got the pad see ew and with shrimp and it was super delicious, the sauce was fantastic . My dish came with a good amount of broccoli and shrimp. The shrimp was already fully pealed and pretty good sized. Excuse the photo. The food looked so good that i immediately started digging in. We stumbled upon this place by accident, and we will definitely be coming back. The only “bad” thing to say about this place is that it is available for take out or delivery only. I No dine-in. I highly recommend everyone to try this place. You won’t regret it.

I found Escape after a google search of the local area. Due to my reliance on Ubers this weekend I was disappointed to discover that they’re not offering sit down service at this time, but with temps being in the 50s I don’t really want to sit outside anyway.

We were there a couple ago. The food was amazing and flavorful. We ordered seafood pong karii and mango sticky rice. The portion of food is huge compared the price (I can save some for my next meal)and a flavor is similar to what we made in Thailand! We will definitely come back soon. Recommended everyone to stop by!

Service was good. Unfortunately, chicken in the pad Thai and in the satay was dry, flavors were bland, and flavorless, rotti was greasy. Big disappointment. Basically, not worth what they are charging. No parking available.

This was our first time here. I like authentic Thai, with fresh ingredients & this was that! Absolutely delicious. The green papaya salad & thai beef salad were incredibly fresh. The yellow curry was fantastic. The mild spice level we chose for the dishes was just right- just a hint of the spice, not completely removed, but not too much. I would say the feeling that the Ingredients were fresh is my best compliment to them becuase that’s really the base for great tasting food.

No inside seating. Take out delivery only. Food was just ok. The place was old and outdated. Lots of weeds around the building. Employees were very friendly

1st timer. I ordered take-out at the counter. The menu was clearly laid out and had some pictures. The lady who took my order was very nice. The food was amazing! Easily one of the best Thai food I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely return for more. Their outdoor seating section is cute as well. It has an island jungle vibe.

Very pleased with the foods we got! I ordered via Uber Eats, but would love to visit this place one day and check out their nice patio once it’s warmer outside. I ordered pad kee mao with chicken, medium spicy, and husband got the pad thai with chicken, medium spicy. It came in a container, large portions. We ate about 2/3 and saved the rest as leftovers.

Ordered 3 takeout dishes: Khao San Rd Fried Chicken, Papaya Salad, and Pad See Ew. The fried chicken was definitely the star. Outside batter was very light and crispy, enclosing the soft chicken underneath. It was also surprisingly not oily compared to other types of fried chicken. The included sauce takes it up a notch; I’d give it a 4/5. As the for the papaya salad and pad see ew, they were underwhelming. Flavorwise for the former was so-so and the latter was way too sweet, which throws off the balance. 3/5 and 2/5 respectively, I would not order those again.
