Amazing Food and Service!
As a spice hound, I absolutely LOVED this restaurant! The spice level ten curry was already amazing, and when I implied that I would be fine with it being hotter, they brought me out an extra cup of spice oil! The curry is delicious, and my friends also raved over the Tom Yum and Pad Thai. Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! We can't wait to come back!

Excellent Thai Food Near Gaslamp

Authentic Thai Gem with Great Prices
This is a hidden gem! It’s a small mom & pop shop offering authentic Thai food at great prices. I had the Green Curry Chicken for dinner, and it was delicious. The atmosphere and service were both excellent, rated 5 out of 5. It's a perfect spot for a solo dinner.

Disappointing Takeout Only Experience
I arrived right at the 11 a. M. Opening time listed on Google, only to be told they were only doing takeout and not offering dine-in service. Having made a special trip, I was quite disappointed. The staff member I spoke with was a bit abrupt as well, which didn’t help. I ended up going to the Thai restaurant around the corner instead. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Favorite Spot with Delicious Vegan Options
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's my favorite spot in town for fresh, delicious food at a great price. As someone who eats vegan and has allergies, I was so well taken care of. My roommates, who eat 'regular' diets, also loved it. It's a true local gem, owned by nice people. It's definitely worth the quick little walk if you're downtown.

A Cozy Gem with Exceptional Service!
Dined late on a weeknight and wish I could give 10 stars! This cozy gem is how dining should be: personal and intimate, prepared and served with care and quality. We had spring rolls, my daughter had pad see ew, and I had green curry, each of which were perfectly cooked and served at the right hot temperature. Entrees were fresh and seasoned to our preferred taste and requested spice level. The kind of food that makes you feel a spark of pure joy with every bite! But the best part was the couple who ran the place, being so welcoming and hospitable, and keeping prices affordable for the locals instead of only gouging the tourists! Your soul and your taste buds will treasure a visit here! Please go now!

Delicious Pad See Ew and Welcoming Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was very warm and welcoming, immediately giving off a mom & pop shop vibe. The Pad See Ew was delicious, and the spring rolls were a great recommendation. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were well-sized. I will definitely be returning.

No High Chairs, Poor Service
We were planning to eat here, but we were told they have no high chairs, despite the description on Google Maps saying they do. The lady at the door didn't apologize and seemed disturbed by our presence, assuming we wanted takeout due to the lack of high chairs. We're glad we didn't end up eating here, as the other Thai place around the corner was REALLY GOOD!

My Favorite Downtown Spot!
This restaurant is hands down my favorite place to eat when I'm downtown. The owners are the sweetest & most kind people I've ever met. I kinda wish they were my family. Lol. Now that I think about it, they are.

Best Thai Food Experience!
My experience at this tiny restaurant was fantastic! I had the pleasure of trying their gyoza, hot basil, green curry with tofu, and green curry with pork. The tofu was notably fresh and firm, and everything served was incredibly fresh and delicious. Even the house cabernet was good. I was so engrossed in the meal that I almost forgot to take a picture. If I lived here, I would definitely become a regular.
