Perfect lunch experience. Great portion on entrees and price. Great service.
Ordered bua wings and they were VERY crispy and not a ton of meat on them. For $8 the chicken satay portion was rather small. -
We came on a Saturday around 1 and it wasn’t too busy. The Thai tea was delicious and definitely worth ordering. We tried the chicken satay, beef noodle soup, and the tom yum potak soup. The chicken satay and beef noodle soup were both very tasty and flavorful.
The tom yum potak soup was a bit sweeter than we’re used to, so it wasn’t quite our preferred style of potak. Because of that we’re not sure if we’d come back specifically for the soup, but everything else we ordered was really good. Overall it was a nice experience. -
Have been several times with my daughter. The food and service is fantastic. Had the pineapple fried rice and it did not disappoint. Their desserts are also wonderful.

It was our first time here and we were seated right away. The wait took a while for food to arrive but it was worth the wait and service was very good and friendly. The food was really good and the flavors and the quality was very much worth the wait .

The food here was absolutely stellar! Pad See Ew is my favorite Thai dish (so far) so i pretty much order it anytime I go to a Thai restaurant. This restaurant has the best Pad See Ew that I have ever had. I got it with shrimp in it, the shrimp was plentiful and also maybe grilled...it had a slight sear on it that elevated the flavor of the dish. I am definitely bookmarking this restaurant for the next time I'm in the area to go back, please try it out!
