One or THE best Thai in Birmingham. Quality and taste are excellent. This place is always consistent, so no matter when you dine here, you won't be disappointed. Staff are friendly and place is very clean. Portions and prices are fair. Highly recommend this place so give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. Review is for Thai cuisine, not Japanese cuisine.

My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the service, and the atmosphere. She had massaman chicken and I had Kra Pow with chicken. We have eaten at 5 or so other Thai places in Birmingham and this is our favorite.

My husband and I wanted some Thai food for lunch so since neither of us had tried it here, we gave it a shot! We started off with the dumplings and the Tom Kha soup. The dumplings were filled to the brim with their filling, and while a bit onion heavy for my taste, my husband really enjoyed them. The soup was warm and delicious-a slightly sweeter version of other popular chains coconut soup. I had orange chicken for my entree, which was hot and fresh! Lots of good carrots and broccoli too. My husband had Phad Prik King-it was spicy and delightful. The food was served quickly, hot and fresh.

Cute little restaurant on Lorna Rd. Drunken noodles, tofu fried rice, and masaman curry are worth trying.Plenty of parking available on-site.

Wife and I got this for dinner tonight and it's the best Thai food in the city--period. The portions are amazing. The ambiance of the inside is so quaint, and just right for a nice/casual dinner date. I got the Pad Thai and wife got the Thai Fried rice with chicken. Just incredible flavors, loads of umami, and the spice level was great. They bring the heat unlike most places I've had in the area; order accordingly.

All of the food was great, with the exception of the Spring Rolls. They were mushy inside. The wrapper was crunchy, but the filling was mush. The Pad Thai was delicious, as was the Thom Kha. The creaminess of the soup....mawaaa, delicious ?

I'd been wanting to go here for months now and finally took the time and went to pick up some lunch to go. The location was highly rated for the longest time and I figured any kinks would've been worked out by now.They're located off Lorna Rd in a well-traveled area with plenty of amenities so it's convenient if you have other shopping you need to do intermittently. Parking there can be a bit crazy depending upon the day of the week and time you arrive.The young man who greeted me was friendly and helpful despite our language barrier. I ordered the Phad Kra Pow with chicken (Thai heat spiciness) and a boba Thai tea. I asked if they could do soju bottles to go (save me a trip to a specialty liquor store), but apparently they still haven't had their liquor license approved after a year or more so not sure why they advertise liquor on their menus.Altogether, my total was about $23 or so before tip which was steep for lunch. Apparently, they don't allow lunch menu prices for take out so you have to pay for full priced entrees. That seems counterproductive since I'm not taking up space for one person at a 4-person booth, but okay.I got home and there weren't any utensils packed in, so thankfully I was there at home with my own. The Thai tea was the highlight since the boba were fresh and made in-house, not like those sacrony sweet, perfectly spherical ones you get at those ridiculous "nutrition" drink places. For those on the reviews saying the boba tea was bad, they're the problem for thinking authentic boba tea is that nutritional juice place junk. Theirs was actually fairly well-made.Although I'd asked for Thai heat and the guy questioned me if I was sure I could handle it (to which I replied that I could, because living in East Asia for a half decade and all), it was evident they gave me the watered-down, Americanized version of "Thai heat."The broccoli wasn't cooked thoroughly and was rubbery. Aside from the bit of heat they did give me, there were no other major discernible flavor profiles in my meal.The sticky rice was well executed, so I guess that's a win. Once again, to those in the reviews saying the rice was "overcooked" or "mushy," don't believe them. They clearly have never heard of sticky rice or understand that's the common way to prepare it in East Asian countries.All in all, I'm glad I went just to say I finally can cross it off my list, but after having ample Thai food prepared by other Thai nationals in S. Korea, I was just thoroughly underwhelmed.
