I tried the basil fried rice, mango sticky rice, and Thai iced tea and wow, this was some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a while! The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. The food was so good that I only remembered to take a photo of the leftover of desert! Definitely a place I’d recommend and would love to visit again.

Visiting town and we were looking for good Asian food. Found this wonderful Thai place near the La Quinta Resort. BANG! This place is fantastic! The food was seasoned perfectly and the ingredients were fresh as can be. We wish we could visit more often. Visit them now if you’re in the area! The staff is also courteous and friendly.

We love their friendly service. Their orange chicken is our favorite and is the best orange chicken of all the Thai places we’ve been to. They have told us they don’t put MSG in their food.

After a grueling round of golf at PGA West Stadium, we went to this spot for lunch thinking it’s just another Thai Asian Food in the corner. We were way off, this is the best Thai we’ve had in a very long time. It is not only authentic but Orn and Tom are the best peeps you’d ever meet. I had my usual green curry which was delicious. But the surprise was Orn cooked my wife a wide thick noodle soy sauce base dish that was phenomenal. It tasted like we were sitting in Bangkok.

The curry chicken was flavorless and super sweet. I couldn't even finish my food; the first time I ate there, the food was delicious, and the second time was horrible, and I ordered the same dish both times. The cooker thr first time was an older Asian man, and the second time, I saw two Latino women doing the cooking.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The food was exceptional! Do not miss the asparagus and crab soup and the crispy fish salad. The owners, Orn and Chef Tom, are the nicest and most accommodating people. They not only took extra time to make sure everything was great, but we noticed how they seemed to know or remember every one of the customers that came through the door. A perfect experience.

Vegetarian options: Amazing sauces served on the side with your meal. They gave us extra rice to take home with our leftovers. Very accommodating and nice people. Exceptional food.

This was a mediocre Americanized Thai place. I didn’t feel the flavors were authentic. Their spice levels are American, not Thai (just FYI). The service was not good but it looked like they only had one waitress for the entire restaurant.

The food was typical and I was satisfied but not wowed. Thanks for reading!
