As others say this place is awesome with great staff. I went there for lunch. I ordered Drunken noodle from their lunch menu. While it tasted pretty good, I was disappointed how small the portion size was. I ended up ordering additional summer rolls, and while I could tell it was made fresh, the dipping sauces were not impressive. The sweet sauce was the same sauce for the hot spring rolls (which won't go well with cold summer rolls IMHO), and the peanut sauce was flavourless. This restaurant has great atmosphere, all the girls who work there are attentive and friendly. I had a good dinning experience other than what I've mentioned above. Would I go back? Probably not.

Got takeout, it hit the spot for affordable Thai takeout. Fried tofu was great with peanut dipping sauce, pad thai was dry, green curry as OK.

This restaurant is fantastic! The interior is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. The service was excellent—efficient, friendly, and prompt. Our server paid exceptional attention to detail, ensuring that my family and I were well taken care of. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful for this experience. The food was delicious, served hot, and truly memorable. I definitely plan to return.

Came in not expecting much, but this place delivered. The pad see ew was on point — smoky, sweet, with a good char. The staff was chill and quick, and the place had a low-key, authentic vibe. Not fancy, but the food hits the spot.

I ordered Zen special salad and Pad Thai. Pad Thai is fair, thought The Zen Salad shd be their special, unfortunately it's so disappointing. Just some greens and sliced mango over rice noodles, and the sauce tasteless.
When I ordered the dishes, I didn't realize that salad came with meat. But when I ordered Pad Thai, I did ask to have tofu instead of meat, I wished they could alert me that salad came with beef, I would like to change that as well. Although I'm not 100% vegetarian, but feeling their service just so careless.
When I was done with the lunch, the server dropped me the check not even bothering to ask If I need some to go boxes when both my dishes were half full there, and I had to call herback to give me some boxes.
The restaurant decor well and neat though.

Edit from 5 Star to 3 star.
We went there again the next day. The male server was rude all the way. They do not deserve 5-star with this behavior.
