Authentic Thai Food & Friendly Service
What a great little restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the Thai food was truly excellent. We enjoyed complimentary water with our meal, which was refilled continuously.
The cuisine was authentic Thai, and I would highly recommend it. The prices were also very reasonable.

Disappointing Noodles and Crowded Seating
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The service was nice and friendly, which was a positive start. However, the restaurant was too busy, leading to seating arrangements where tables were so close that it felt like sharing with neighbors.
This impacted the atmosphere negatively. The food was disappointing, especially considering the high number of positive ratings. The padseeyew noodles were super oily and lacked flavor, with chicken that was not tender.
The sauce also had a somewhat unpleasant taste. Overall, I would not recommend this place.

Delicious Thai Food, Excellent Service!
Finally tried this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The prices were comparable to Thai restaurants in Dallas and the food was so comforting (best bang for your buck here!). I had green curry and it had a nice medium spice and coconut creaminess to it.
Service was so kind too; they were always attentive to bringing water and making sure we'd get seated if we were waiting too long. Would definitely recommend this to all my friends and anyone visiting, in the mood for Thai!

Great Thai Food Near Fisherman's Wharf
My experience at this Thai restaurant near Fisherman's Wharf was fantastic! The dishes were really good and offered great prices. I particularly enjoyed the Panang curry, which was delicious and perfectly seasoned.
The wait time was relatively short, and the environment is lively, making it a great spot for meeting friends. They even offer free ice cream for reviews!

Disappointing Food and Value
We were swayed by the many reviews for this bistro. Unfortunately, the food was not a big hit, both visually and in terms of taste. There was no variety of colorful vegetables, and the sauces were sometimes too thin.
For Asian cuisine, it was rather expensive. We do not recommend it.

Refund Issue Mars Dining Experience
My experience at this restaurant was marred by a significant issue with a refund. After paying our bill, we discovered an extra coffee order that had been added. We brought this to the staff's attention, and they immediately processed a refund, almost as if they were expecting us to notice.
However, two weeks later, I still have not received my refund. While it was a small amount, the restaurant's handling of this situation reflects a lack of pride and integrity in their business, which is truly a shame.

Delicious Pork Dish, Great Service!
I'm not sure how to spell or pronounce what I had, but it was delicious. The dish, which turned out to be pork with a fancy name 😏, was incredibly tasty and spicy. The service was great, and the price was worth it.

Delicious Food, Chaotic but Good Service
We stopped by at literally the perfect time! We were able to walk in with 2 people but immediately after us, there was a short wait. The food was so good!
We had the chicken satay, the crab meat fried rice, and one of the flat noodle dishes. They were all so, so good! I wish I had room to try a curry as well, but maybe next time!
The service was pretty quick but a little chaotic. They did a great job for the amount going on!
