I had a very good experience at this place . They were prompt with their orders. Do try out their lunch specials which comes with rice and spring roll along with the starter. They maintain the quality of their food and their food is tasty. It’s a good Asian food place

The owner lady is rough on her server’s don’t tell them they did wrong were costumes can hear it. The two young gal server’s were great. Oh and costumers can’t read a menu too. It’s not the server’s flat…Only complaint 4.50 for ice tea is very high priced…

The service was really good, it was easy to get to and there was a lot of parking. I liked the ambiance and the restaurant was very comfortable and pretty. I did not like the food, however, and I didn’t think it was a good value. There were a lot of Thai items on the menu but it was more of a Chinese take on Thai food. The yellow curry was very off-putting and the vegetables had a weird glaze on them. Also, the pineapple fried rice was sickly sweet and also had a weird glaze on it. I just wasn’t impressed and probably wouldn’t go back.

Went here for the first time this evening. Food was fresh, great flavor. Mango Martini was perfect. Service was on point. Even boxed up my leftovers for me. Can’t wait to eat them for lunch tomorrow. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went there for lunch. We took advantage of their specials and everything we ordered was delicious. It is an elegant restaurant with big windows that face the fountains on the square. It’s a bit more pricy than Asian restaurants in the area, but the food is good. The service is a bit slow.
