Kind staff, fun decor, and good food. Expect it to match best to simpler palates and not be as complex flavours.

Also, all the reviewers are correct about portions being small. Expect to order multiple dishes, and ideally to share a set of things.

We ordered take out Pad Thai chicken, then we ate it in a nearby park. There are washrooms in the park and shade from several mature Ponderosa Pine trees estimated to be over 150 years old. (Really awesome old trees) I had a dog with me so it made sense to eat in the park. Authentic cuisine very tasty. Please try them in Keremeos, BC. Congratulations!

A neighbor of mine said we should go here once we arrive in Keremeos. Now we did that, the place looked nice and and cozy. Waitress was fine but busy due to not many staff so getting her attention was difficult. I am not a Thai guy but my partner is. From what I understand Thai is mainly about the flavors of curries and sauces.

So we ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken (lacked Thia flavor just a stir fry), 2 pork chops (was OK Meat was dry), Pad-see-ew (totally disappointing, it was just tomato soup) and Kao-pad kapoa (best of the 4 options) Rice.

For the 3 of us we ordered those 4 dishes thinking we would have left overs. As we got the dishes we noticed how small the portions were and my partner was upset that is was not authentic enough. We ended up paying just under $100 and left hungry. We would not recommend this place unless your absolutely craving Thia which I am sure there are options elsewhere in other nearby towns.

Sorry I didn't think to take pictures.

Ordered deep fried wonton appy - very little filling, mostly deep fry. Pad thai with chicken and shrimp had very little meat or veggies. Mostly rice and sauce. Very mediocre with little flavour. Big cost for less than average food. Service and ambience was good.

Absolutely horrible food, water of time and money. A pile of greasy rubbish with no flavour, no spice. When you ask for hot sauce it’s cheap red pepper flakes, or cheap red pepper flakes in canola oil. The table beside us was also asking for the complaint department for their gross greasy flavourless unspicy Thai food. Server was lovely, but food was inedible.

Very friendly service! The food was very clearly authentic and really tasty food. The server was running the whole place herself, and clearly it caused a small lag in service but not a big deal at all. If you want some delicious Asian cuisine in an area that is sorely lacking in it, you should definitely check this restaurant out!

The best peanut sauce I've ever had in my life.

Some of the best Thai I've eaten ever, and I'm from Ontario.

While I personally found the food be quite good, it lacked the intensity (and heat) that I have had at other Thai restaurants - perhaps that's just length of time since I last had Thai food, or a slightly different range of dishes we ordered.
The atmosphere here is wonderful. The various ornaments and detail on the furniture very intriguing.
While the food did arrive much quicker than anticipated, we found the service to be merely adequate (but not great)
The people who own and run the business are wonderful.

Very nice little restaurant, lovely decor. Food is amazing, very flavorful, beautiful vibrant color. The people there are always nice, very happy. Some of the best spicy food I have had in a while. Portions are ok, not big but not tiny either. I say it's worth the visit to enjoy some great food and people.
