I really like their pineapple fried rice, clay pot dishes, and crispy veggie salad. Everything tastes delicious and has great wok hei. This is one of my go-to restaurants.

This is my first time to leave such a negative review. My boyfriend placed a phone order for dinner on 8/14 and told me he had an unpleasant experience with a lady in a green suit who was very rude to him. We called around 8:40 PM to check if the restaurant was still accepting orders, and someone confirmed that they were. Since we knew the restaurant closed at 9:00 PM, we rushed to get there as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, we arrived a bit late, just before 9:10 PM, but there were still several people dining inside. Despite that, the lady in the green suit acted very annoyed and questioned him about why he was so late. She handed over the food with a very bad attitude, as if someone owed her money.
If your staff can’t wait a few extra minutes, we would have appreciated it if you had canceled our order instead of treating customers so disrespectfully. I don’t even want to give one star or leave a tips for this kind of service. Very unprofessional.

We were soooo hungry and this place hit the spot. We were seated and served quickly.

The hangover noodles were SPICY but delicious. They had mild options and you could ask for dishes to be made less spicy. The pumpkin curry was really good especially with chicken, and tofu in the vegetarian dishes had a really nice texture. The eggplant skin was a bit tough but the dish itself was great.

Overall I recommend this place to satisfy a craving for Thai.

Little gem of a place. Great for solo dining! Update: take out has been consistently great :)

I came here with my brother and sister after reading all the great reviews, expecting a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, we left disappointed.

I ordered the shrimp curry. While it came with plenty of shrimp, the curry sauce had a chalky texture. It looked smooth but left an odd, chalky sensation in my mouth.

My brother ordered the fried chicken, which he said only tasted good once he added hot sauce.

My sister and her husband shared the calamari appetizer and Thai basil chicken. The calamari was unseasoned and overly chewy. They sent it back, and while the restaurant did try again, the preparation still missed the mark. We eventually asked for simple salt and pepper to help it. The Thai basil chicken had good flavor, but the portion was noticeably small—especially compared to other Thai restaurants we’ve tried at a similar price point.

Another surprise: rice is not included with entrées. I was shocked that my shrimp curry and the Thai basil chicken came without rice. We ended up paying $6 for a small bowl of rice to share.

Service began well but fell flat by the end. After we paid (and tipped generously), we were rushed out because the restaurant closed at 2:30—even though three other tables were still dining.

Overall: 1 star for service and 2 stars for food. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

Secrets of tiger has unlocked the secret sauce - not only is the food amazing, the ambience is top notch and makes you feel right at home. This is a hole in the wall place but once you step in it actually is bigger than you may think from the outside. The food is made with such care and plated gorgeously. We had the pad Thai chai ya which this restaurant was the first in the US to serve. Will definitely be back to try more.

Delicious food and vegan options available. I really enjoyed their spicy eggplant dish. Ordered for takeout (pickup) and the order was ready in 15 minutes! Handoff was really friendly.

Great Thai restaurant with nice attention to detail. The food is fantastic, definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in the area and it's a nice atmosphere. Ice cold water and plastic plates and spoons for infants were a nice touch. Will be back to try more!
