I ordered the Salt and Pepper wings. They were burnt. I hate when places obviously burn your food and just serve it to you anyway. The pic looks lighter due to sunlight but the wings were super dark. I bite into it anyway just to see, and yes, burnt taste. I also ordered the Pad See Eww and it has a weird aftertaste. Not sure how it has 4 stars overall because the flavor of their food is not good. I don’t taste any flavoring in the noodles. Barely any veggies in it. Mad I spent $40+. Busy B Thai is the best but unfortunately they’re closed for vacation.

Small and neat place but amazing food. Tasty spicy noodles and garlic paper chicken. Delicious. Won ton soup also good. Been coming here for years and getting lunch to go. Great lunch specials.Won ton also so good.

I have been coming here since before the pandemic. During the pandemic, this place was my weekly go to and remains a favorite in our household. The food is fantastic and the customer service is wonderful. Prices are reasonable and they are quick to prepare your food! Only downside is the hours can be a little inconvenient but honestly I love this place and recommend it to others all the time! My favorite dish is the Kings Curry or the Panang Curry with sticky rice.

Excellent lunch specials until 3pm weekdays. Large portions. Drunken noodles and Pad Thai are excellent. All the curries are wonderful. The Red Curry is the best. The large Thai tea is a summer favorite. Prices have changed charging more than needed for protein options, I usually avoid places that do this. Hoping it doesn’t go any higher. This place is very good! Everything I have ordered is excellent.

Small little hole in the wall with terrific thai food. Surprised the daughter and son in law with dinner, chicken patay, beef see ew, Rangoon (the best huge ones ever), shrimp fried rice. It was a hit with the kids. Huge portions, great flavor and fast and friendly service!

Excellent take out. Emphasis on the “take out.” The food really is amazing; Tom kha soup and Panang curry, I highly recommend! But we were given plastic spoons and paper plates for dine-in. To earn 5 stars, please use actual silverware and dishware.

Hygiene problems cause me to rate at 1 star. They picked some things off the floor with the rag they clean tables with. Then they put the rag on the counter. Later I’m guessing the owner told the waiter to wash it. And he did. But no one clean the counter that rag was put back.

Found a hair in my food before even taking the first bite. Super dirty bathrooms and food storage and only use soybean oil

This is the most delicious Thai food! If you are a vegetarian or vegan, this is a great place to go. All of the dishes come with a choice of meats, mock duck, or tofu.

The services is pleasant and they are willing to accommodate allergies well. The Yum Nuar (beef salad) is AMAZING. A must-try and that’s coming from a non-beef eater!
