Hot delicious healthy & fresh food. Abundant choices on the menu. Good portions & very well priced. Food is served super quick. The restaurant itself felt very warm, cozy & relaxing. Service was gentle & gracious. Don’t miss the lychee martini & fried banana dessert.

Went for a happy hour meet up. Had been recommended as a good location. Food was disappointingly mediocre. Drinks slightly better. Service was fine, atmosphere decidedly middling. Wouldn’t go out if my way to visit again.

Food was good. It’s not authentic Thai but more like a very yummy Americanized version of it. However, we weren’t happy with the service, there were only 4 tables when we were dining but I needed to get up to ask for everything, including to order after continuously trying to make eye contact with the staff for more than 10 minutes as they keeps walking right by us. They also put service charge in there without informing you (yes, even for two people party). I would say it’s my fault for not paying more attention but I ended up tipping the person double bc I filled in the 20% in addition to the service charge.

I don’t write reviews often but this friendly neighborhood Thai restaurant is a spot on! The service is good. The food is even better. Highly recommend the crispy spring rolls, panang gai, and the shrimp pad Thai.
