I want to give high marks for the food not being salty. The papaya salad was very spicy but delicious. I strongly recommend the chicken noodles with curry soup! The food comes out really generous and good price.

walked in on a thursday for lunch, was seated quickly, not too busy. really cozy, comfy restaurant with skylights and natural light and fun shaped rattan light fixtures. server recommended the shrimp cakes, which were crispy, peppery and delicious served with a sweet chili sauce. reminded me of my vietnamese grandmother’s fried crab balls. the butterfly pea cocktail (not elderflower) was really yummy and pretty, couldn’t really taste the alcohol. the khao soi chicken was delicious and a huge portion, probably didn’t need the ka moo as well but they made wonderful leftovers! the ka moo is perfectly braised pork, really so tender that it melts in your mouth. it came out with what seemed like a green chili fish sauce that had a lot of kick to it but i didn’t feel was necessary given how flavorful the ka moo stew was. upgraded the side of rice to coconut rice and was not disappointed! would definitely come back!

Food was beautiful, and mostly well made. I got the Khao Soi and the curry part was delicious, perfectly seasoned with great flavor. But unfortunately the chicken was dry and overcooked despite being soaked in the curry, and it tasted funky like it was past it’s prime.

It’s authentic. A large group of Thai folks have a huge party while I am dining. If they like it, I am sure that’s pretty authentic. The portion size is very large. The curry tends to be very creamy with a heavy portion of coconut milk. The mango duck is very crispy. I like the presentation of the dish. I also like the juicy bell peppers and mango within the red curry itself. The decor is quite interesting. I can tell the owner really likes fish.

Food is tasty and well prepared. The service reminds me of Europe. They don’t rushed you out the restaurant. They take their time.

I ordered Spicy Basil – Stir fried garlic, bird’s eye chili, Thai basil, onion, green beans and carrots, but got Eggplant Basil – Stir-fried eggplant in spicy chili garlic basil sauce. Although I don’t eat eggplant and picked it out, it was delicious and I would order it again.

Super tasty Thai with super service. Loved the branzino. A bit more pricey than other local Thai food but worth it. One dish was a bit too spicy for one person so they willing brought out a special bowl just for him. Great way to treat your guests.
