Wow just sat down for lunch. Oh my, what a delicious experience. Had the Kapow Kai with chicken and basil eggplant. Both dishes were top notch. Excellent service made the experience even better. I’ll add photos on the next visit.

Service was phenomenal, food came out fast and tasted authentic, and would definitely come back. I’m not from around the desert and thought it would be hard to find good Thai food here, but this restaurant really surprised me. I would say it’s even better than some of the top Thai restaurants in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Looking for great Thai food? This restaurant is a must-visit! The Tom Ka Kai soup is a standout dish, with a perfect blend of tangy and savory flavors that will warm you up. The fried tofu Vietnamese rolls are a great appetizer, and don’t miss the orange chicken or the Bo Lu Lac, a flavorful Vietnamese-style beef dish that’s brought out on a hot skillet. The portions are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for any Thai or Vietnamese food lover!

Never really disappointed for whatever I ordered. Picture is Spicy Noodle with tofu. Not my favorite but still good. Great services as well!

Ordered an appetizer togo that took almost 40 minutes. What made the whole situation worse is the couple sitting next to me at the bar ordered two entrees at about the same time which came out a good 10 to 15 minutes before my appetizer! WTH? If you forgot to put my order in, at least let me know or offer me a drink while I wait 40 minutes for a togo appetizer order.

This place knows you want delicious fresh amazing food and that is precisely what is served. Absolutely top food prep and quality in the desert, if you’re looking for the BEST thai food, here it is. Expect a perfect blend of flavors, perfectly prepared noodles and soups etc… this place goes above and beyond my expectations. All employees know all to know about spice too so if you’re a spice fan, prepare to enjoy yourself. See my photo of the ultra spelicey fish sauce which had salty soaked peppers with ultra heat… along with a 4 pepper sauce platter to add to your food as desired. Outstandingly fresh brewed thai tea with or without creamer… I cant say enough good things about this place.

I frequent Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered Bun Thit Nuong, rice noodles with pork. I added shrimp for an extra charge, thinking I would get the very common dish Bun Tom Thit Nuong, cold rice noodles with shrimp and pork. I was very surprised to find the pork missing. With only shrimp, the dish was not really satisfying.

One of the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever eaten!! And doubles in bonus points with Thai cuisine salad rolls were a bit messy as ends weren’t rolled in but had a healthy amount of mint – YUM! The seasoning on the tofu was exceptional (I could live off of it!)

Not good— about 3 pieces of pre-cooked chicken and was like rubber. I said I didn’t care for it and portion to small and waitress said nothing—- not going back.
