I went here for lunch with a colleague. I've been to Thailand several times and seldom am able to truly enjoy a Thai meal in the USA. This place? Quite authentic. I'll definitely come back.

Great food with good portions. Curry beef and curry chicken did not disappoint! I will come back to order a few other specialties.

This place is awful. The server looked annoyed to have us there and with the worst attitude said, “order now so you can eat.” Then said that the cook left. Why is it open if they don’t even have a cook? We just left and the server still tried to act like we had inconvenienced him.

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! I love Thai food and I'm vegan and there were sooo many options it was actually hard to choose. Between two of us we got veggie dumplings, fried tofu, pad see-ew, and tom kha soup. Everything was hot and fresh, and tasted delicious. The dumplings were perfectly crispy, the sauce with the fried tofu was incredible, and noodles were amazing, and the soup was incredibly flavorful. The service was excellent. We got great recommendations on the food and were told "to feel right at home," which we were definitely made to feel very welcome. I wish I was a local so I could have this more often!!! But I'm definitely going to be back next time I have a trip to the area :)

It's a cute little place. Friendly enough service (takeout). I had the veggi egg roles and chicken pad Thai. Rolls were very good. The pad Thai had a different flavor.....which I couldn't place. Not a fan. Kinda had almost a fish like odor.After taking a bite of just the chicken...I found the off flavor. Not sure if it was the chicken meat, or it soaked up the seasonings......I'll assume it was the seasoning, given all the positive reviews.....maybe the chicken was near the fish or......
