I ordered red curry with tofu and bamboo shoots along with some coconut rice and spring rolls and had it delivered with door dash. I was very happy with this meal and felt satisfied exactly the craving I had. Super delicious and generous servings.

The worst dining experience we’ve had in a very long time. The food was average and the service was horrible. Over an hour after ordering we still did not have our food and nobody bothered to ask if we needed anything during this time. We were not able to get the attention of our server but when we finally able to bring it to the attention of a different server, he just mumbled an apology. When we finally got the food, none of the dishes was what we ordered. Staff seemed indifferent about our poor experience when we complained. They just wanted their tip, NOT. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant.

I want to preface this by saying the food was good and I enjoyed it. The problem is the zero service we had, or lack there of. I went on March the 9th around 6pm. The man "serving" us did not give us menus or cups for our water. We had to call someone over to give us these things after waiting around 25 minutes. This can be given a pass on it's own due to the amount of customers dining in at the time, but the service gets way worse.Our server takes our order after being seated for around 35 minutes but forgets to put it through to the kitchen. We waited another 20 or so minutes and ended up asking where the food was and that was when the order was put through. Waited another 20 minutes for the food to arrive. During this whole time, no waiter or waitress had visited our table once to check up on us. We had to call for someone to refill our water and afterwards the water was left unrefilled until we left.To preface this next issue, Our whole table had ordered our own dishes to have. When bringing our food, the waiter who took our order did not remember what anyone had gotten and so had to explain the dishes. He explained it ambiguously and poorly, saying "spicy noodle pork and beef" instead of "spicy noodle pork spring rolls and beef main protein" or something similar, resulting in dishes being mixed up as we were left guessing which dish was whose. When we realized something was wrong, all he said was "I think your friend has your dish" and walked away.I need to make this very clear. Not a single human walked up to our table to check up on us. Everything we needed, we had to call someone over for. It took over an hour to get our food. When we were seated, the restaurant was full. By the time we got our food, the whole restaurant was EMPTY.Never in my entire life, no matter how bad the service, have I ever tipped less than 10%. This time I did not leave a tip because there was literally no one for me to tip. Worst service in my 25 years of life on earth. Not worth gambling the service here. Go elsewhere.

Very disappointed!!! Waited for our food for almost 1hr & 40mins. Server don’t even update our order. We’ve seen 4 table’s already done their meals and we still no food at all. Also 2 couples just arrived and not even couple mins they serve their food and we still don’t have our food to our table. And everytime we ask the server she keep saying “just a moment”. And when we decided to leave due that we can’t wait any more longer they want us to pay the order and they said our food is cooking right now after waiting for 1hr 40mins. There were saying for us to wait again. LOL!!! like seriously!!!!

This is a hard to find place but so worth it. Yes, it's in the hotel, even though the sign on the hotel says Indian restaurant- you can also go around back and find the metal door. If you like your food spicy order at least hot spicy level- the medium wasn't enough. Large portions.Don't judge a book by the cover.

First time here. The locations facade was very deceiving compared to the traffic and atmosphere inside. It was packed with people. They have big portions for everything and it’s absolutely delicious. The serving size for the Thai tea is just insane (in a good way). Highly recommend itVegetarian options: Most of the dishes you can get in tofu so it’s very diet friendly

Superb taste and great value . This is super authentic as it gets . The tom yum soup is superb . The chicken satay was melt in your mouth category and the green curry was sublime.

Had to come here after hearing so much about it. Always love finding hole in the wall places. Admittedly I had just been to Thailand so my expectations were high. We had the green and yellow curry with coconut rice and chicken skewers as an appetizer. The food was okay. Better than average but I felt it was over priced for what I paid for it.
