Nice authentic thai place. We had a pad thai and pad seewee which was delicious. I did ask for chilli oil on the side which is just my preference. They have a one to 10 rating for spice level. We Went around closing time but they were accommodating to allow us to have food there after closing time. Note that this place has a break from lunchtime until evening, when they reopen again. There’s lots of free parking space available.

Had lunch here with a friend. They ordered ginger fried rice, I had Thai Eggplant #22. Included Spring roll that was Crisp & hot. The food arrived quick, hot and delicious. Needed more rice for eggplant dish, a bowl instead of a cup. Ended with wrapped prepackaged ice cream sandwich & crunch bar.

I haven’t been here since college, and it was in a different building at the time. The servers are super nice and they still recognized me from my college days. I’m not sure if my tastes have changed over the years, but the food here seemed to have more fish sauce flavors than I remember. That being said, it still tasted delicious and authentic. I didn’t eat any of the crab cheese but my guest said it was tasty. The unripened mango salad was very fresh with the mangos having a nice crunch to them, similar to papaya salad. My pad Thai, as previously mentioned had a stronger fish sauce taste than most Thai places, but it was still good. Tina’s peanut curry was very unexpected. It was very soupy and had a lot more coconut milk than we were used to. The best thing they do here is offer unlimited refills on the Thai iced tea. You also get a spring roll with your meals and either cheese cake or ice cream for dessert, free of charge.

Food was excellent. I couldn’t say enough good things about how good the food was. Everything was fresh with lots of flavor. My favorite was the beans in brown sauce which I can’t remember what it was called on the menu. The crab ragoons came with a sweet and delicious sauce. The salad had a nice ginger dressing on it. The little cheesecake at the end was a pleasant surprise. The only reason for 4 stars is because the service was unbelievably unfriendly. She wasn’t nice and seemed annoyed by our questions about the menu. I’d go back for the food and will just hope to have a different server.

If you’re in the area this is a must stop place for lunch or quick dinner. all of the reviews that you’ve seen that are simply glowing about the food and the service are so true. they really do take good care of you here and the menu is extensive but high-quality on everything I’ve ever had. The drinks were great and the complementary spring roll and dipping sauce were fantastic. You really do need to come here and experience it for yourself. Personally I love any of their coconut Curry’s but the noodles are great too.

Clean, fast, friendly service! The food here is excellent with their own unique take on standard Thai food. The meals are a good-sized portion at a fair price. The ice cream sandwich at the end of the meal was a nice surprise. I will be back with my family.
