Been going here for years!!! Always a good warm meal during the winter months. Love the pineapple curry! Located in an area with many different restaurants for your liking

Quaint little place loved the atmosphere. Also, the client cow that was there was very engaging and fun to be with the food was utterly. Amazing, could not ask for more authentic than real Chinese food.

My go-to is the basil fried rice chicken as it is always consistent. The wok-flavor is present in every bite I take. The basil flavor is perfect and something many other authentic Thai restaurants can’t quite get right. Pro-tip is to ask for chili powder and mix the fried rice with it before eating.

I tried to eat here on a recent visit but was unable to. Their menu on the wall shows options that are unavailable on the electronic ordering system. I explained the situation to the person behind the counter and asked if I could order with her...she said no I had to order from the machine.
Needless to say, my burrito from next door was very good.

Food is pretty decently priced. It just sucks that it’s so oily. The people there are pretty kind, though.
Worst Tom yum I’ve ever had. No spice just lime, lemon grass and sugar. 15$ for a small bowl of plain vegetables and 3 pieces of soft tofu in a broth closer to rice vinegar than Tom Yum. Never again.
I *like* this place! But last evening something was 'off' - I stepped outside after those deep fried spring rolls and half a plate of pad thai and almost lost it. Before coming back in and getting the rest to go. Happens.
Honest review, the Pad See Eww is delicious. The noodles texture is very comparable to what youd find in Chiang Mai. I dont know if the workers are Thai, tried speaking Thai with them and got no response back.
The Pad Thai is awful. Its toooooo sweet, taste more like candy than anything. We tossed this and shared teh Pad See Eww
The Pad See Eww is delicious. Prices have risen since I last went here a few years ago. $16 for a dish is a bit much in my honest opinion. I know nothing compares to the 120 baht pad thai noodles walking in Khaosan rd, but $16 for some noodles eggs chicken and broccoli is a lot.
