This is a cute Thai place. Pretty good food. We got yellow curry, veggie spring rolls, pad Thai and drunken noodles. The taste was pretty good, not like amazing, but good for filling a craving. Not bad prices either. The seating area is tiny though. Most people get their food to go so just keep that in mind if you ever visit. Solid 7/10. - Jade Gonzalez
