Joseph B
Fried wantons, lettuce wrap with chicken and shiitake mushrooms. Summer rolls excellent. Good size portions. Respectfully the steak had a little too much salt and with seemingly chopped jarred garlic- needs improvement. Chicken wings slightly over cooked. Will recommend with extensive menu selection. Atmosphere and service top notch.

I am truly amazed with the quality of food here. I have had plenty of papaya salad and Tom Kha soups in the past and this far this restaurant has the BEST salad, soup and meal overall with excellent price (unlike other Thai places). Thank YOU for an amazing service and meals. Will definitely come back over and over as long as we live in CT

Fairly quiet, which was astounding considering how good the food was. Ordered Tom kha and mango curry, both with chicken. Soup was smooth, good amount of sweet and sour, mushrooms well cooked without being mushy. Curry was not as spicy as I was expecting but the mango was the juiciest, softest mango I think I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Service was prompt and unobtrusive, which was nice. Only regret not leaving enough room to explore dessert options.

This review is about the service, not the food – the food I’ve gotten before was pretty good.

If you’re looking for good Thai food, go elsewhere! We ordered two dishes and a soup. Not a single one had the correct flavor profile. Flavors were closer to Korean than Thai. Never had Pad Thai that bad. I still have no idea what the chef was thinking. Basil stir-fry chicken was full of dried out chicken and was missing a key flavor– the basil! It was chicken with peppers and onions. Forget the Tom kha soup. It was bland and missing all of the aromatics expected. If Hometown Buffet tried to do Thai cuisine, it would likely be better than this. Try Thai Palace in Bloomfield. This is just BAD THAI.
