This place is hit or miss for me. I go because it’s in the neighborhood. The beef in all the dishes I’ve had is tough and the wings were oddly shaped with way too much breading. Most of the traditional Thai dishes are decent with chicken. Fried rice was too sweet for my taste.

Loved the ingredients and the taste of the food. Couldn’t find a better place to eat in a cold winter place! The medium spicy was just on point. Prices are good and the atmosphere is also good 🙂

i hate giving less than a five star review, but i just left a smidge disappointed in the food. perhaps it was just the dishes i ordered (thai fried rice with tofu, drunken noodles with tofu) but i just didn’t think the price was worth what I got. however, i’d go back and try something else. the take out order process is very easy and quick though and i appreciate that.

Stopped in for a quick bite since I had not been here before. First, they have a Happy Hour from 4-8 with really cheap alcohol, so that’s a huge plus from the start.

Shoot, I think I might have to drop Sanphan from my (10+ year) takeout/delivery rotation. Today I received my order and two out of three things were amateur level untasty. I always get the papaya salad which has tasted the same without fail. Today it tasted like warm socks. All the veggies seemed old and waterlogged except for the lettuce garnish. The drunken noodle also had almost no flavor which is very hard to do when it is flavored with soy. I often get food from here and sometimes the drunken noodles are a little burnt or super spicy but today was the first time that I barely had anything to eat except for one dish (cashew chicken).

This was cute restaurant to visit at Eastern Market. The crispy salmon was the highlight of my experience! I forgot to take a picture, but it comes with broccoli and I chose the Thai Basil Chili sauce. The mango and sticky rice were also delicious. I suppose I was expecting more flavor with the shrimp bikini, but it was crispy and the sauce helped make up for it. The tempura veggies were a nice addition to my appetizer. The wings weren’t anything special. Overall, the service was good!

The Duck Curry was absolutely incredible!! Their was a depth to the flavor I’m not used to getting even with some of the better Thai places.

My go-to for take out. Love the chicken satay, pad Thai, and curries. Much cheaper to order from them for delivery than thru Uber eats or grub hub, but we walk over to pick up 99% of the time. Have never eaten inside but the staff is always nice when we go to pick up our take out orders.

Not good at all. Everything was too salty and underwhelmed. Not authentic. The Tom yum broth was super salty with cheap fish sauce. My Mama Tom yum instant ramen broth tastes better than that.
