The first thing that struck me was how crowded the place was at what I would consider late in the evening. Because there were just two of us, we were seated very quickly, handed two menus and left to figure things out ourselves. The menu was a bit confusing as this was the first time we had come to this place. Our waitress came and took our orders and to our surprise our food came fairly quickly.In retrospect, the food we were presented was tasty and well-prepared. For a place that moved like a "fast food joint" I felt like there was a need to move guests quickly in order to turn tables around and accommodate more guests. This was the only thing that made me rethink my opinions of this place.I would hesitate to return to this place if only to sit down for a meal. This place would probably be best indicated as a take out place because the food is good. As for the ambiance and welcoming nature, I'd hate to say that I felt like I was just another number and that they had to push me in and out of there as quickly as they possibly could. This also reflected in the attitude that some wait staff showed during our stay. Some of them were constantly checking on us like "are you done yet? Did you want your bill? Anything else I can do for you, if not to say you're overstaying your welcome? (That part is just how I was made to feel.)If the place were brighter and the tables placed such that it would feel so cramped in the location, it would have a more welcoming feel. However, the gloom I felt when I entered could have made me just look for another place to eat had it not been a later time in the evening that we came to visit. I would have to say that the food was the saving grace in my opinion. Change the ambiance provided and it would be rated much, much higher.

Food is excellent and reasonably priced. I suggest for the owner to impose on food preparers and cooks to wear hairnets. We returned 1 order yesterday due to human hair was found on it. They gladly took care of it!

Excellent place to have dinner. It's a small restaurant but worth it. The food is excellent. We had 5 different plates, and the food was excellent.

First time trying this place. I want to like it but I got the battered fish, spicy garlic one, it’s not very spicy. I heard good reviews at this place. I think I’ll try something else next time.

Family style meal for 4 adults + 2 children. Each dish was good. What prompted me to leave a review: 2 curry dishes were served (not pictured), and a few minutes later, the waitress said they weren't for us, and we watched her throw them both into a bus tub. That seemed unnecessary, why waste it all?

Delicious food, great service. Was there around 3pm a Saturday. Waiting about 10 minutes to be seated and was eating in about 15 minutes after we were seated. Will be back. Everything we ordered was delicious.Parking: 30

Very average to bad food. Small portions and service is nothing to remember either.

The food is good, but I would say, not very authentic Thai. The service is amazing. We came at 6 pm on a Saturday and it was crowded but the waiter and waitress are super friendly.I had the pineapple fried rice, I think it is a little too much "tumeric" flavor and not much of the authentic "pineapple". The tom yum soup is amazing and I recommend to order a bowl of rice to go with it. The angel wing is fun to eat.A little note is that they don't accept Apple Pay so bring you card or cash.
