I have ordered to go twice from here now. Both dishes have been excellent. First time I had the clear noodles, they were good. Second time I had the Narai fried rice, serving size was very generous and it had good flavor. I ordered both dishes gluten free, they’re very accommodating about it. Wife had the clear noodles not gluten free and said it had amazing flavor.

The Dine-in atmosphere is lovely. It looks rough around the edges on the outside but has a beautiful atmosphere on the inside. Small business so sweet staff that are very understanding, however budget cuts means only to-go packaging, it would be great to support this wonderful business to help them out. I would recommend for families, dates, and as a regular dine-in experience.

This was our first time dining here in years. The manager was kind but the food is served in styrofoam to go containers even when dining in, and the food tasted like it was primarily frozen veggies microwaved. The ingredients weren’t fresh and yet the prices were higher than before. We won’t be back and left feeling really sad for the current state of the restaurant.

Pad Thai tastes like rice noodles with ketchup. The prawn crispy spring rolls were not at all as described: “A unique blend of shredded carrots, cabbage, celery & Prawn wrapped in a spring roll wrapper and deep-fried to a crispy golden brown. Served with sweet chili sauce peanut sauce.” Check out the photo. There are absolutely no carrots, cabbage, or celery in them. Just dried-out over-cooked chewy prawn in a greasy shell. They were inedible.

This restaurant is cutting every possible corner to save money and it shows. The curry is not curry, it’s soup (thin, runny broth) that doesn’t cling to rice. Everything is served in to-go containers even if you are eating in, and there are signs everywhere asking you to clean up your own table. The owner is really nice but doesn’t come to take your order or check on you during your meal – there’s a sign telling you to pay up front when you place your order. That is totally fine and obviously the norm at quick service restaurants, except that for the prices charged you could go to any number of other restaurants that would take your order at the table and serve you using actual plates and bowls, and have a much nicer dining experience. The owner needs to decide whether to be a quick service restaurant or not. This is some kind of weird, uncomfortable and confusing hybrid with utterly forgettable and mediocre food.

Wonderful noodle dishes that will keep you coming back for more! Make sure to try their Narai stir fry noodles (we like ours with prawns) and their Pad Kee Mow!

Confused on some of the negative reviews, this place is the best Thai in Oly! Been coming here for 10 years. Everything is amazing, standouts include the pumpkin curry, pad thai, and pad kee mao. The owner is super friendly, and the overall service is attentive and quick. Not sure if they’re still doing them, but for a bit they even had cooking classes! Wonderful gem that can’t be missed.
