Went a few weeks ago to try the mango sticky rice again and it was definitely cooked better but I went back tonight to try it again it was 10/10 soft and chewy rice, the sauce is always spectacular and the portioning is great!

Very unique curries that were different and delicious. I had the sweet curry with chicken and loved it. The Thai lemonade is also a must-try: lemonade and Thai tea together. The prices were a little high for the portion size but overall enjoyed the food. Service was also great.
January 2026
The food here is consistently great, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Customer service is excellent, and I’ve visited several times with a consistently positive experience. The place also offers a nice sense of privacy and calm, which makes dining there relaxing.

While the decor feels a little dated, it doesn’t take away from what really matters — good food, great service, and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely worth returning to.
