The Thai place across the street had been our favorite and we tried this place as well. It's just as good. They gave us a free little dessert

Clean, bright restaurant. I’ve only been here for lunch, but have never been disappointed in their authentic dishes. I’m gluten intolerant. I have tolerated all my meals well as long as I’m careful with what I order. Highly recommend!

Seated immediately and served meal shortly after ordering. Friendly staff and attentive. Stir veggies spice level 1 and pineapple fried rice with crispy pork, very good (no spice). Pork a little chewy. Will return. Calamari and veggie appetizer ok.

Average Thai cuisine. Maybe the quality was poor because it was almost closing time. Noodles were overdone and sticky, red curry was good. I might try them one more time but earlier in the day. Can’t comment on service since we ordered take out.

If you enjoy eating a meal so sweet that it tastes like candy, then this place is for you. I have a few go-to spots for great Thai, but I was in the neighborhood and tried out the pad see ew just "a little spicy." It was so sugary that I threw it out after a few bites. I know this dish is often sweetened, but it was REALLY sweet, like dessert sweet, and if it contained eggs, I couldn't find them. The inside of the restaurant is clean and nicely situated, and the staff were attentive and friendly, but the food ... pass.

The last two times we have eaten there, the service has been deplorable. Tonight, they forgot my order while food was served for the other three at our table. I couldn’t partake in the shard Ed food as it’s too spicy so I waited. Halfway through their meal we found out they forgot it. That’s not all. The last two times, never did our waitress stop by the table to ask us if all was ok or if we needed anything……. Water at the least.I don’t know what’s going on here lately with their service. The foods good but unless they correct their young waitress to actually wait on tables,I doubt I’ll eat in again.
