4.9 stars! Wow really? This place popped up on Yelp as a 4.9 star Thai restaurant in the area and it piqued my interest. I decided to go the DoorDash way since it was raining and I didn't feel like taking a drive. This place seems like a primarily takeout place. My order took more than 45 minutes to be prepared and my Dasher was kept waiting for more than 15 minutes; he wasn't happy and kept text me to complain. My food was finally delivered more than an hour later. The food turned out to be disappointing. The spicy basil with beef was mainly onions and bell peppers with a few slices of beef. The Pad Z Ew (pad see ew) was not good at all. The vegetables were over cooked and mushy and the rice noodles was of poor quality; they were very thin and broke into little pieces. The corn curry in coconut was ok but nothing extraordinary.

This Thai spot is phenomenal. The owner cooks food that is authentic, plated beautifully, and unapologetically flavorful. Each bite is a time travel bomb that takes me back to the time I was gorging myself at street food vendor stalls in Bangkok. The location is within an office space area used for AA and community meetings. It comes across humble and the dining area is separate from the actual community building space. The tables are clean and extremely well kept. The owner clearly pays attention to detail when it comes to maintaining her dining area and silverware/cutlery. The owner herself is very accommodating and welcoming. She takes the time to answer questions about the menu and offers adjustments to spice levels if needed. She also cooks and serves all the food herself with the help of one other individual in the back kitchen, so patience is key but completely worth the time investment. The food was so outrageously delicious I didn't have time to take more pics the first time I went. It was so good in fact, I came back immediately the next day to try the crab fried rice pictured below. The serving sizes are generous and the spice and flavor is second to none. I'm so impressed with how high quality all the dishes are and everything tastes so impeccably fresh. Crab fried rice - the crab meat is legitimately fresh and generously portioned. The rice is well seasoned and the veggies mixed in with the egg are a perfect compliment to the crab. I really enjoyed this dish and it comes with a side of spicy seasoning sauce you can add to kick up the heat a notch. Crying Tiger - not pictured below, but man what a stand out dish. The flavor of the rib eye pieces are so well balanced and the dipping sauce for the meat is so distinct it really adds depth to the rice and salad accompaniments. I really enjoyed the dressing on the salad as well, and the amount again did not disappoint. I have nothing but overall praise to give this place and I know I will be frequenting this spot often for the foreseeable future.

Hidden gem and parking is available! The steamed chicken dumplings pair well alone or with a soup. Tasty and tender dumplings, with a green onion garnish and crunchy onion. It taste so fresh. The soup was not too spicy, it tasted creamy and fragrant, with spices. I ordered to go and their service is so nice the lady here brought me water while I waited.

This place is such a hidden gem! The lady who runs it is super nice and gives such great service. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. The prices are sooooo good! Couldn't recommend it more!

This place is a trip, but absolutely a hidden gem. I've sent a few friends here now too and nobody has been disappointed. Food is always HOT, even when I'm late to pick it up somehow. Great service, inexpensive and flavorful. Vegan friendly too!

Didn't know if I was entering a waiting area or a restaurant. Correct in both Ahhah. Just like you read the the restaurant shares the same space as an AA space which was a little bit weird, but you get use to it. The restaurant is being handled by this sweet old lady who serves your food and busses the table too. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS like this! The food was amazing! I ended up getting the garlic chicken lunch special with that Thai ice tea! It was very flavorful and the price was on point. I didn't have any complaints. I would highly recommend!

A hidden gem for sure! Very authentic Thai food and the lady who runs it is an absolute sweetheart! Reasonably priced and delicious!

Okay! I just stopped by this place on a whim and it's such a treat. I had a small order of their Tom Kha and it is quite a sizable bowl despite it being the small option - I have ZERO complaints about that btw - It was very flavorful and yummy. The shumai were also pretty darn big and plump, and we're also very tasty and full of flavor. Mind you the portions are pretty darn good and very reasonably priced. Would recommend, definition of a hidden gem.

Such a hidden gem Emma is amazing and their Thai dishes are some of the most authentic I've ever tried out here in the states. Been to Thailand before and gotta say this is the same high level deliciousness.
Hidden gem of a takeout spot feels like it’s tucked into an elks lodge. Everything we ate was LEGIT.Parking: Easy to grab a parking spot to run in for takeout.

Mainly to-go place with well presented but overly salty food. As others have noted it is located inside the Glendale Windsor club which is an AA location. Not exactly where you'd go for a date. Took off another star for being really slow even though they weren't busy (they were only working 2 orders).

place seems pretty new and inside pf the Windsor Club(for seniors). At first we were skeptical because the place was empty and inside of a seniors club. the orders took a little longer than expected BUT the food was WORTH THE WAIT. Miss Emma is the name of the owner and she is also the cook! See the pics below and we will definitely come back!
