Often praised
- foodMy experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, primarily due to the amazing food. The portions were incredibly generous, and dishes like the roasted duck noodle soup and Khai Soi were super flavorful.
- FoodThe Pho is amazing, the crab Rangoon is awesome, and the cashew chicken is phenomenal! We love it all and it's definitely a must try!
- Pad ThaiThe Pad Thai is always a classic and done extremely well here
- Thai foodThe service was fantastic, and the food was fresh and delicious. I would say it was the best Thai food I’ve had. Additionally, the staff was so friendly.
- curryLots of tasty goodies in the curry too it was loaded
- appetizersI decided to stop in and try some of their appetizers. I absolutely loved it and I'm eager to return and explore more of their menu! The service was great, and the ladies were very nice!
- authentic Thai foodThe ambience was cozy with nice decor, and the background music added a relaxing touch to the meal. Highly recommend this spot for authentic Thai food and a pleasant dining experience!
- green curryI ordered the green curry and tom yum with noodles, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The green curry was rich and flavorful, and the tom yum had the perfect balance of tangy and spicy. The service was excellent—friendly staff and quick kitchen turnaround.
- mango sticky riceThe food was incredibly delicious. My soup was so flavorful, the mango sticky rice was just right, and the crab rice was so good I ended up stealing half of it. We were also fortunate enough to try a green drink, possibly melon, which we were both so excited about.
- Thai teaThe Thai tea is hella yummy
Frequently criticized
- foodMy experience tonight was extremely disappointing, costing $60 for what turned out to be inedible food. This place used to be decent, but it has significantly declined.
- chickenIt was a disgusting pad thai that didn't look like pad thai; it looked like mashed noodles, was all sticky, and came out as one piece when I used the fork to eat it. There were 2 soggy pieces of chicken hiding somewhere inside (needless to mention I asked for extra chicken on my order). The papaya salad had the taste and texture of food that's been in the fridge for a couple of days, as you can see by the lime pieces left inside the box.
- Thai foodMy experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was so bad it couldn't even be called Thai food, and the service was even worse. I'm baffled as to how this place is still in business.
- sticky riceour sticky rice so hard that we had to throw them away
- No fish or soyno fish or soy
- No garlic or onionNo garlic or onion
- No peanutsNo peanuts
- Pad ThaiPad Thai was very disappointing. Strange taste.
- Pad se ewPad se ew and there was absolutely 0 flavor
- Thai beef jerkyThe pork larb was also very delicious. We also tried the Thai beef jerky, which was good, but unfortunately, it had a lot of gristle. I've included a photo to show the amount of gristle in just one order.
If you're craving authentic Thai cuisine with generous portions and delicious curries, this place is definitely worth exploring. Just be aware that some dishes, like the Pad Thai, might be inconsistent, and there have been rare instances of food quality issues.

- staffThe menu is extensive, and the food is good. The staff is nice, and the place is clean. I particularly enjoyed a taro bubble tea to go, which was sooooo good, almost like a milkshake with its thick frozen creaminess.
- ServiceService was top notch too

Amazing Food, Generous Portions!
My experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, primarily due to the amazing food. The portions were incredibly generous, and dishes like the roasted duck noodle soup and Khai Soi were super flavorful. I was particularly impressed by the size of the prawns on the signature Pad Thai, which were the size of the plate!
Even the green Thai tea was surprisingly better than the original. The atmosphere and service both received a perfect score of 5, contributing to an overall fantastic dining experience.

Our Go-To Thai Spot!
This is our regular Thai restaurant that we frequent. The staff is incredibly accommodating and consistently goes out of their way to assist us. We absolutely love their delicious curry!
Their appetizers and soups are also a hit. While I typically skip the noodle dishes at this particular restaurant, it's because other items are simply better. The food is of high quality, exceptionally flavorful, and the restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and relaxing.
