Excellent service!! The customer service was phenomenal, I was given recommendations that were very helpful. The food was also excellent. For lunch my entree was $16 and with fruit tea it came to a bit more than $20, I felt that this was a bit too expensive for lunch. Overall a good experience and I plan on visiting again

Never been here before. I’d seen it and thought it might be interesting to try. On a whim, the family and I decided to order something in. So I went and picked up an order for all of us. The gals running the front were very helpful in helping us pick items. I got a chicken satay with a peanut dipping sauce. We also got garlic shrimp and broccoli. An order of vegetable green curry, chicken pad Thai and brisket pho. Everybody was very happy with their choices. Definitely recommend trying this place out. Excellent flavor food using great fresh ingredients. Also found out the owner has been doing Thai food for over 35 years professionally… Sorry no photos people just ate it way too fast

The service is great, at least the time we dined in. Pad Kee Mao and Orange Chicken were delish. Fresh vegetables in the former and the perfect spice level, latter was fried to perfection, not greasy. Not a super long wait, even though I could tell they were short staffed. I think this place has gone through so many metamorphoses that many of the reviews from over a year ago are pretty much invalid.

They are trying! Weird that they share eating space with a Mexican food place. Listening to Mexican music while eating Thai is odd. Food was okay but overcooked meat

Has dinner there Friday night. Was delicious. Servers were courteous and very helpful. I accidentally left my purse there. When I got back 45 minutes later they had it behind the counter. All cash, checks and credit cards were still there. Love the honesty!

We got Pad Thai, larb Gai, orange chicken and wonton soup. Everything was great. The pad Thai was spicy even though I did say mild so that was a bummer. It did have good flavor though. Orange chicken was yummy and larb Gai was great too.
