I ordered delivery through GrubHub and it is fantastic! Their Thai fresh rolls come with an excellent peanut sauce that has a nice kick to it that enhances the flavor profile. They were awesome and substituted carrots for the eggplant in my green chicken curry which was fresh and flavorful.

I order the chicken Pad Thai and I think it’s the best in the area. Always filling, quality taste and fresh. Friendly staff and a welcoming environment. Very happy and highly recommend.

Can't go wrong with any menu item here. Special shout out to the Duck Curry and Spicy Chicken Wings. Staff very attentive and great at helping decide between different menu items. It's clear why this place is an Albany staple. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is a fan of great Thai food and even better service!

Place was pretty empty when we went for lunch but I don't know why. Really enjoyed the food. I had ribeye steak fried rice and my wife had shrimp green salad rolls. Shrimp rolls were larger than expected and she couldn't finish the last piece. The steak fried rice had good flavor but was also more than I could eat. They were nice and refilled tea water (bagged tea) without us asking. Good service. We sat outside on their two table patio.

My green Thai curry was up there with the best I’ve had. I’m sure we’ll be back.

I was not super impressed - not bad though! A solid 3/5 stars. I had some of the yellow curry, fried rice, & pad see ew (all with tofu). The yellow curry was the best out of the three and it still was not superb.

Great, fresh. Noodles need more separation.

What a wonderful place! Everything was great! From the atmosphere to the customer service to the food - even the restroom... lol!

We came from San José to go to a crafts workshop and picked this place because it was close to the studio and had good Yelp reviews. Great choice!

First off, I'm a sucker for plants. They were everywhere, including the restroom, hence my inclusion above. Where there weren't live plants, there were well-designed artificial plant displays perfect for photo backdrops. (Yes, we took a couple of photos.)

The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, helpful, and always smiling. I love that! And, they never stayed away so long that one of us was looking for them.

And then, there was the food! We ordered a family special that was suggested for 3-4 people. We didn't want leftovers because we were going to the studio for several hours. Everything was delicious - egg rolls, satay, mango salad, pad Thai, branzino, and the best fried rice ever - oh and mango sticky rice for dessert. Yum! And, yes, there was more than enough food. We even had leftovers.

I'm thinking of having my birthday party there around Christmas time. Yes, it's very much worth the hour-long drive from San José, but you locals should be there at least a couple of times a month. It is so good!

Excellent customer service. Ordered takeout and they forgot to put one thing in the bag but they drove out and hand delivered it.

Class Session

I enjoyed eating the Pad Ka-Pow Khai Dow. It had well seasoned ground beef with a natural Basil aroma and of course, an egg that melts into the rice that makes this dish unique and delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Trick-O-Treaters can enjoy some candies offered on the counter.

when we called our order in, it was recorded incorrectly. when we went to the store ready to pay we saw the order was incorrectly placed with one extra dish charged. when we kindly asked for this extra dish to be waved the manager was insistent on us paying for it even though we didn’t order it. we left the restaurant disappointed because we simply did not want to pay for an item we never ordered. we ended up not eating dinner that night. it was our favorite restaurant to go to but after this situation we felt disrespected
