Everything is delicious especially the samosas and the cocktails. The salads are low on the leafy greens and it can be a bit on the loud side for me when it’s packed. But overall it’s fantastic and this place has become a regular staple for me.

This is our first time at this place and let me tell you, we were so impressed! The food was amazing! Chicken and fried rice was so delicious, the fried rice had so much flavor and umami that I had to stop myself from finishing the whole plate! The service was top notch and so welcoming!. This makes me so happy to have a Thai restaurant in Hayward that serves authentic and amazing food! I can’t wait to come back😊

Yesterday, I got food poisoning from the curry dip that came with the roti. The roti had been ordered for my 3-year-old son, and I'm very relieved he didn't eat it.

First time visiting for dinner. They close at 9pm so had an hour to order food and eat. The food was very traditional Thai food and good quality with large portions. I lived in Thailand so definitely very traditional food and fast service.

I ain't going to lie, best crab omelette I've had this far. If I were to describe my breakfast experience, it was like having breakfast at a night club, during day time. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the inside and there are lots of tables, so there shouldn't be a problem getting a table. The omelette was served over white rice, accompanied by a red spicy curry coconut milk kind of sauce, crab, and some mushrooms. Absolutely delightful, but the scenery did throw me off because it looks like a restaurant where they would only serve dinner. Thai breakfast might just be what I need to take a break from eatting traditional American breakfast. I'd come again to try other plates :)

I don't intend to write this review to bad-mouth the restaurant, but rather to share my experience in hopes that it can be a learning opportunity. I originally ordered here because of the many good reviews.

I placed a pre-order online after 5 p.m. on Saturday (9/6) for pickup at 1 p.m. on Sunday (9/7)--unfortunately, the person who received my order misunderstood and made a mistake. Instead of being prepared on Sunday as requested, the kitchen assumed it was a same-day order and cooked it Saturday evening. Of course, no one picked it up that night.

When my friends went to pick up the food on Sunday around 12:45 p.m., the restaurant told them it wasn't ready yet. After coming back at 1 p.m., the staff said they were still cooking the last dish. When they finally handed over an order, it wasn't ours. Only around 1:30 p.m. did they realize the mistake, and within five minutes, my order appeared.

When we sat down to eat, the tofu in the Thai salad was very tough, and the pork belly in the Yum Moo Krob was also hard, as if both had been cooked the day before, refrigerated, and reheated. This may explain the poor texture.

After checking my payment, I also realized the Garlic Sriracha Wing I had ordered was missing. To be fair, I had shared my PDF order with my friend so they could see the order number, and when I sent them a screenshot, the chicken wings were accidentally cut off. However, the restaurant did not rely on their own system but instead went by my friend's printout--so the chicken wings were left out completely.

What disappointed me most wasn't just the mix-up, but the lack of accountability. Instead of apologizing, the staff blamed the system and simply explained their side of the story. After COVID, takeout has become a significant part of the dining experience. No matter how good the dine-in food may be, this kind of handling is not enough for take-out.

Yes, I did not include any tips in my order. After reading some other poor reviews, I can't help but wonder if that might have played a role in the service I received. But I honestly don't see tipping culture in America applying to to-go orders. A restaurant should not expect tips for take-out food and drinks. People who wish to show generosity might better save their money for those truly in need. Restaurants, on the other hand, should pay their employees decently. Eat-in customers should feel free to tip for good service, but to-go customers should not be expected to tip as a norm.

On the positive side, the Tom Yum fried rice was decent--though I believe I received chicken instead of the pork I had ordered.

Food and staff were very enjoyable, and restrooms were clean! Flavors were very good, food was fresh, very interesting cocktail menu. Although it was nice to see most of the tables full, the restaurant was a bit loud and could benefit from softer materials to absorb some of the sound. Looking forward to next time!

Very pretty decor, delicious food, but sometimes the service is slow
I would recommend the chicken pad Thai and stuffed French toast.
Slightly overpriced.
And the shrimp aren’t very good

Food is good. The crab fried rice had big chunks of crab. The papaya salad came out too spicey for us so they took it back and fixed it to our taste. Very nice staff who gave us suggestions on what to order. I'm not a big pad thai fan but i enjoyed their dish.

The prices here are amazing!

A party of seven women only paid $225 (plus 20%) for the 8-course meal. The food was excellent, and every dish was delicious. The desserts were a bit small and average.

Calamari : average , not crispy enough $13.95

Pad Se-Ew w/ pork , pretty good $17.95

Tom yum omelet , delicious but small portions $25.95

Pad Thai shrimp , wonderful $20.95

Khan ka - yum seafood , like old seafood mixed with rice , lemon glasses sauce $ $29.95

Roti Gai Tod , good one with fried chicken $$21.95

Yellow curry with pork $ 16.95

Roti Stuff $11.95 , too oily

Mango sticky rice , rice too hard and very small portions $ 11.95

Parking behind the building is easier
