This is an institution that’s been here for at least 20 years. They always play classical music. The food is top notch (and excellent lunch specials). Service is fantastic. Great quiet atmosphere. Top notch. Edit: They no longer have the lunch specials, but an entree with rice is around $13-$16 and is more than I can eat at one setting. Their iced tea is heavenly…appears to be fresh brewed and my glass never ran dry with frequent refills.

First-time here and I really enjoyed it. Everything about this place was excellent. The food it’s truly delicious, I had the Duck roasted noodle soup. It was a new taste for me, so bold but balanced at the same time, so new and fresh with a slightly taste of mint or might be anothe spice that it makes it so welcoming. If I could eat this broth everyday I’d do it. The noodles, (the type, egg noodles, recommended by our waiter) where the right amount of flavour and thickness. I also tried the plum wine they have and I really liked it, you can taste the plum flavour there, is kind of sweet but not awfully, good sweet. The place is clean and the decorations lead you to a really Thai ambient. About the service, it was over and extremely good, excellent, outstanding. This is the kind of service all restaurants should have. Waitress and waiters are really doing their work, without overstepping when you don’t need. To the contrary they’re really taking care of you, making the service very effective. When you need to refill your drink they we’ll ask you before and you don’t even have to ask for it. When you are done they know and they go and take away what you don’t need. They ask, recommend, treat you as it should be. That with a lot of tables to attend and from I can tell that food service is wide to all customers. It’s their timing, kindness, and efficiency along with the true Thai flavours that makes this place so unique. It’s just perfect. I give 5 stars because I cannot give 6, but this it’s an outstanding place. It’ll be my place for Thai food. Definitely come here and live this experience. I highly recommend it

We have always loved this place for takeout because the food is good, they have good size portions, they make it quick, run specials on the Uber app and it’s right down the street from us. It seems like they have recently changed chefs, for the better. We always order seafood pad Thai and chicken pad prik king and this last time they were more flavorful and seemed to include more protein which was great. They only reason I give them 4/5 stars is because the inside of the restaurant is outdated, that’s why we always get takeout.

So bland. It seems that they boil the chicken unseasoned ahead of time and then add it to whatever dish sauce you order. The green beans were the same way. This was my first and last time at this restaurant.
