This place was delicious! The wings were my favorite, so much flavor, the sauce on them was amazing, a little spicy but a good spice. The potstickers were also tasty and had a coconut tasting base dipping sauce. The fried rice was very good as well, it had a lot of flavor. Overall 10/10 would recommend this Thai food location 🙂

The server (Lin) was lovely and welcoming. The food was alright. I’d give it another chance since I came around 1500 and I suspect the food was sitting since lunch. Taste was not bad, but it wasn’t good either.

Good quality Thai dishes. There was a fair quantity of meat for the prices. Service was fast and friendly. The Roast Duck Curry was very tasty, and the pineapple gave a complimentary sweet balance. The Drunken Noodles with beef, shrimp, and calamari, was also very good. However, the amount and size of the calamari were small. The spiciness was spot on with our requests.

Great food, good service with no wait! I had the drunken noodles with chicken at a level 5 for spice and it was a little too hot for me but the dish was delicious. The sampler appetizer was ok, nothing special and I probably wouldn’t order it again. For dessert we had the sweet rice with mango and it was amazing. I highly recommend it! We will definitely be back again.

This is an authentic Thai restaurant we visited for lunch. The food was reasonable but not the best Thai I have had. That said the food came out fast and the staff were willing to accommodate last minute change requests.

I got Thai Orange Chicken and husband got sweet and sour chicken. I probably won’t get the Thai Orange chicken again because it’s breaded and I feel it takes away from the taste of the sauce. So maybe to compensate for that, they can add more sauce to the chicken. I’m not docking them a star for that because I knew the chicken was breaded when I ordered my meal.

Unfortunately, they don’t know how to do an egg drop soup anymore. I basically had a whole egg dropped in that was overpoached. Not appetizing at all, especially for $14.

My first time eating here. I had a meeting close by and decided to check this place out. I was very surprised with the excellent service and Thai cuisine offered. The mango & rice dessert was delicious as well. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. I highly recommend this secret gem in Santee.
