I ordered to go. The hostess suggested a traditional Thai dish based on my favorite vegetables, herbs and spices. She wasn't wrong it was absolutely delicious! Had enough for leftovers which I couldn't wait to enjoy. Service went above & beyond with my order being brought to me outside the restaurant where I made some phone calls while my order was cooked. I'll definitely be returning to enjoy another dish.

Great vegan options! Almost anything on the menu can be made vegan upon request. We like to get Tom Yum, red curry, and spicy noodles, all with the tofu option. You have to specifically ask for it to be vegan; the tofu option doesn’t automatically make it so.

I don’t know why, but it’s been a few years since we came here. Guess we don’t venture downtown as much as we did. Last night we went with friends and our meal was SO good, I just had to write this. Pad Thai, curry dish, fried rice with sea food, all were excellent.
The atmosphere is ok for being downstairs. But the food…yeah.
