How should I start? I'm surprised there's so many 5 star reviews which I find a little misleading.
I knew from the moment we entered that we should probably turn around and find another place but someone had recommended the place so I played devil's advocate.
The smell of the place was funky and the environment stuffy. The menus sticky and dirty.
The owner without saying much brought two glasses of water for 4 people, greasy glasses of water. We asked for two more, it was kind of hard to drink from them, the water seemed greasy too.
There were ants walking on the wall and making our friend feel uncomfortable so we moved to a different table.
The dishes arrived on dirty plates, greasy from below.
The pad Thai was over fried and the spring roll was not what we thought it would be, more like a lettuce wrap.
We didn't say anything to not make it awkward but when we left we all agreed it was an uncomfortable experience and some of us were worried we would get food poisoning, we could see the whole place was dirty and we can't imagine how was she handling our food.
Luckily we all feel good... We'll see later today....

Nit is a wonderful, sweet lady. She allowed our pups to join us for lunch and gave them water.
We split the spring roll and an order of Pad Thai. So fresh and delicious. Cannot recommend enough!

The pineapple fried rice and pad Thai was delicious, and really big portion I have ever saw. And price was very good. We will definitely come back again.

I came in with kind of funny circumstances I had only ten minutes and she went above and beyond to not only get my food on time but was so polite and nice and the food was good too!!

We picked up coconut chicken soup and a chicken curry to bring to our cabin along the north coast. The food was very authentic and excellent. We had never heard of blueberry rice before and we were pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was. We loved it all!

I will say the food I did get was relatively good. Unfortunately, the dishes were not prepared per menu. I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup. Menu indicated it had tofu in it. No tofu was in it. I ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls substituting the prawns and chicken with tofu. What I received was a romaine lettuce heart wrapped in rice paper with overpowering vinegar dressing. I ordered the green curry for my entree with tofu. The dish was served without tofu. And to top it off no itemized receipt was provided. It was only after I left did I realized I was overcharged by roughly $15.00. Owner speaks little English so it was nearly impossible to communicate with her. I will not go back.

Let me just say I really don’t understand the 4 star review.
Ok so it’s a little hole in the wall that I was predisposed to like. I didn’t want to write a negative review, so I’m gonna keep it factual: Arrived about 7:40pm on a Friday night. Sat down. The proprietor came and gave 3 people 2 waters and some rumpled napkins.
Eventually came back and took our orders: Thai red curry with salmon, pad Thai with shrimp and the tofu Chinese salad.
We wait a while and she brings over three pieces of salmon in a very thick sauce. But wait we ordered red curry “no more red curry, so I made green” uhh ok. The curry was supposed to come with rice and vegetables and it had neither. It was too thick and extremely salty.
Then the pad Thai came - it was like black. Totally burned. Noodles and very heavy with a burned tamarind flavor, the shrimp were kind of OK though. Then while we were still eating she brought up the payment machine, never mentioned the salad, and we were ready to go so we ran with it.
Very worried we would get food poisoning. Looking at people’s food who were leaving before us, it looked nothing like ours. Would never go back. My son asked “have you ever had a worse meal?”

The food is so freshly made! And delicious, and great sized portion. My little one & I thoroughly enjoyed the pad Thai with shrimp and chicken. Plus the owner Nit is so warm and lovely! She gave company to my little one and made him laugh and overall made it a memorable time for us ! We will definitely come back again. Thank you Nit :)
This place is absolutely a hidden gem, and the owner was lovely and accommodating in making everything vegan for us. The lemongrass coconut soup was ridiculously good, like seriously the best soup I've ever had. I don't usually like vegetable pieces in the soup but they were cooked perfectly and so buttery were ordered another soup to go because we couldn't stop eating it ? It felt like being in a cosy home kitchen eating food that mom used to make. I would come back in a heartbeat if I'm ever in the area again ?
Vegetarian options: The owner can make a lot of things vegetarian or vegan and was such a sweetheart about it ☺️

Nit's is a must try!! The food was incredible, if you go please try the vegan lemongrass coconut soup if available- wow. My partner and I grabbed a second soup to go, it was so delicious. The pineapple fried rice was delicious as well . Portions are really generous and prices are so reasonable. It's a true hidden gem worth the stop, and as a bonus you get to walk through Nit's little garden at the back to a quaint washroom Will be making sure to visit again.
