Exquisite!!!! I had Red Curry with no added protein and the Sizzling Lobster . Mister had the Pineapple Curry. All three dishes were well seasoned and flavorful! I would have loved the option to have a boiled lobster. I noticed other people’s children thoroughly enjoying their food. When the owner, Toom, visited our table and I was able to express my delight with her food. She was humble, very kind and super personable! The place is located on the top left corner from the parking lot. It’s bright yellow, you can’t miss it! This restaurant is a MUST come to, you won’t be disappointed!

I had diner here while burning time for my flight. Not that far of a drive from the airport. Mall parking can be a bit congested though. Staff was friendly although service can be a bit slow… but I think they were training the day I was there. I enjoyed my meal on the outdoor patio. Nice and relaxing because it was not overcrowded or loud.

I’m giving this place 5 stars only because I can’t give it a gazillion stars! Everything was excellent from the greeting to the finish. Excellent appetizers in the Gyozo and Crab Rangoons. My entrée was the ocean against ocean. It’s consisted of of a nice piece of grilled mahi-mahi in a deep fried lobster tail on top of Thai noodles, bean sprouts and crushed peanuts. It was delicious!!! Nice view from their balcony terrace too! I recommend highly!!!

We had an awesome experience getting takeout here after a long day of beach activities. I was a little worried because of some of the reviews however, I’m so glad we decided to order from here. Their food absolutely hit the spot. We ordered the pad se ew for four people, some with chicken and others with shrimp. It was excellent – not too sweet or overly sauce but had lots of flavor, and the proteins were cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend this spot for takeout especially after a long day of fun when you just don’t want to cook dinner.

Great hidden gem! Delicious food (I had the Tuna Roll) and the view from their patio is relaxing and inviting. Clean, comfortable space with a cute bar and seating both inside and out. Miss Katie’s service was outstanding.
