For someone who grew up in a Thai restaurant, I’m rather critical about the ones I try. I’ve been here twice; the first time for Thai iced coffee (a delicacy in the states) and the second to try the food. I ordered the Duck red curry with brown rice on the side, the bf got duck fried rice, and we shared angel wings as an appetizer. The food was hot, perfectly spiced, though they also provided classic Thai condiments on the side (I used the Thai chili in fish sauce for my curry, and suggested the jalapeno in vinegar to my bfs dish). We cleaned off the wings, perfectly crispy, sweet and savory, and the sauce, while not what I’m used to from my parents place, was still incredible, I could have drank the rest. The curry was wonderful, though I wish they added spinach to it, but the pineapples and red bell peppers were perfect. The fried rice was plain looking, but really quite nice. I would have added the angel wing sauce to the rice, personally, but the over flavors were gentle but still present. I wish we could have tried the roti dessert, as that’s also hard to find in my experience. Most things here taste like what I recall from my childhood, and that’s a huge deal to me. I will be returning to bring my family and see what they think. If you’re looking for solid Thai food, this is an amazing choice.

Everything is pretty mediocre except for the food. Food is disappointing……We’ve tried many Thai restaurants, so we’ve had the best as well as the worst. However, the taste and portion of the two dishes we ordered are way below our expectations. I chose beef for my pad Thai, and there were only five or six pieces of beef inside. The fish dish was supposed to be crispy and flavored with basil, but it turned out soggy and had absolutely no basil flavor. Both dishes were drenched in some spicy sauce, and that’s all we could taste. Honestly, this restaurant could do much better and not waste their ingredients on such terrible dishes.

Overall, hit and miss. It’s a little shop that has no frills mom and pop vibes. An hour before closing and it was still super packed. The single server was SUPER busy but I don’t blame him. My tom yum noodle soup was delicious but the pad mee was something I could have thrown together at home.

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! Thai food is already so good with all the flavors but I’m sad I don’t live closer to this place bc it’s so good. My husband would come here when he was younger for the crab fried rice, which we ordered because I needed to try it. But we also ordered the larb, fried herb fish, yellow curry with pork, stuffed eggplants and the Thai tea. Literally all of it was so good and I’m salivating just thinking about the food. If our stomachs were bigger I probably would have ordered the noodle soup dishes and a fried noodle dish, but maybe next time..however long away that is

Authentic food. Chicken Pad Thai is a go to for me. The crab fried rice is always great. Angel wings are always satisfying as well. Good portions outside of the really small mango sticky rice. (Which taste amazing) and the Thai tea is a must but ask for less ice. (Also pretty small) I don’t suggest the chicken satay. Fair prices. Cleanliness is fair as well as the wait time. This a very small restaurant. Hardly ever find parking. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious! Quick service as well the place is just a little dirty with flies in lobby but probably because the front door is left open. The masaman curry and the mango rice dessert were 10/10!! Woupd come back just for t h one if we’re in the area.

i’ve eaten here a few times and gotten takeout many more. normally the food and flavor is on point, but not sure what happened with my takeout order today. the pad see ew with tofu was burned, the broccoli was raw, and the noodles all stuck together. the spicy basil chicken is like 50% onion. bit disappointing

I’ve only been here twice but so far I’m happy with all the dishes I’ve tried. I ordered to-go once and the serving size seems smaller than when you sit down and order. Other than the inconsistent portion sizes I think their food is delicious and fairly priced. I recommend their garlic pepper chicken and green curry fried rice.
