We ate lunch here during a weekday and the restaurant was busy which is usually a good sign of good food. However we had crab fried rice and thom kha soup with chicken and chicken satay and we were assured the chicken satay was made with white breast meat but it was thigh meat. In addition the crab fried rice was made with low-grade “special” crab meat meaning grayish, shredded, and clearly overcooked, not fresh crab meat as stated on the menu, I know this because I've worked in the seafood business. The thom kha gha soup lacked lemongrass and galangal entirely which is essential in this soup and is left in while serving although not eaten and it tasted more like a thick coconut curry than the traditional soup. For the high price, the quality was disappointing. The dishes felt inauthentic and made with subpar ingredients. Something was definitely amiss here and we felt scammed. I'm thinking the many people going here are unaware of true thai food recipes because this isn't it.

Very friendly service, reasonable Thai food for the area. Had the drunken noodles plus some steamed sides. The seasoning on the noodles tasted more salty than savory and aromatic, but the noodles themselves were good.

From LA, stopped for lunch. The pad thai was like spaghetti-os. Thai tea was fine

Best Thai food in the 805 period. I have tried them all, my wife was trained by chef Jet Tila and has a very discerning pallet for Thai food and we both love this place. Fav dish is the avocado curry

tasty but sweet food, large portions, large prices.

we got chow mien, green curry chicken, tom kha soup, beef salad. portions were large, with plenty of veggies and meat. tom kha and beef salad were rich, good tasting but too sweet. curry was ordered spiciness level 3, which was barely spicy. very rich and good tasting. service was fine, nothing great but not horrible. decor is pretty good. place was very popular on a Friday night. We would go back, possibly ordering food slightly more spicy and seeing if they could either A) make things less sweet or B) try other dishes that are less sweet.

Regarding price, entrees are $18-$30 (e.g. chicken curry is $22 or $23). So on the pricy side for a Thai place, but you do get more food which partially offsets it.

Arguably the best Thai food in the area and worth the 20 min drive to get there :) Quick service and food is a flavor bomb! Highly recommend their red and yellow curry, drunken noodles, pad Thai, & chicken satay. Medium heat is perfect with everything. You can feel it however it doesn't blow your palette up. Always friendly and make you feel welcome.

My husband and I had a fantastic lunch here! We tried the $14.95 lunch special and ordered the Spicy Fried Rice (very spicy, without basil). It came with a fresh side salad and a crispy spring roll—everything was absolutely delicious! The service was incredibly attentive, and the restaurant had a clean, comfortable atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming dining experience.
