★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Overall the food was good but it was not what I was expecting for Thai food. I felt that the vinegar was heavy handed on a few things. However, everything was cooked great. I wish the egg roll/spring roll was more Thai than Chinese but it was good. It seemed like the food was confused between Thai and Chinese
March 04 · Blake PCozy Thai dining spot with excellent service. I met my son for dinner and we were not disappointed. He tried the eggplant dish and I had the curry with out appetizer being a sushi roll. Food was delicious and plentiful we had to take to go containers. I also really liked the interior decor.
August 05 · Rodrigo LopezWe had the roti, poke bowl, chicken pad kee mao and mango sticky rice desert. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Good drink menu and decent prices for everything, will come back!
November 21 · Tine CrossSmall space with pleasing interior & subdued lighting with decorative screens on windows. Vestibule dimly lit except for decorative lights set into the wall – soothing and interesting. Comfortable booths. Staff pleasant and attentive, but not intrusive. Lunch special soup/ salad/ eggroll plate pleasing. L5 Pad Peanut Sauce (Chicken) was great. Tasty peanut sauce. Nicely cooked vegetables and chicken. L9 Pad Gratiem - Pikthai (Beef) nicely seasoned and cooked. Mushrooms & onions very nice. D5 Tripple Chocolate Cake was rich and tasty. Had a chance to try the Shrimp Pad Se Eaw - the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Pleasant outdoor seating area would be nice in cooler weather. It was pleasant to look out on from the cool interior seats. Atmosphere is not high on my list of required attributes, but in this case it really adds to the experience.
September 29 · Brad BennickThe establishment provides excellent service and delectable cuisine. I highly recommend trying their roasted chicken appetizer. The salads and sushi are also quite delicious.
