Omg this is THE BEST Thai restaurant in southern California! I finally found this gem after years of searching. All spices and flavors are just right on. Cannot be happier!

Very sweet people and very good food. We got the medium and were sweating, so if you haven't been hitting the heat a lot lately lean towards the low end. Get a papaya salad of some variety, there are a lot of options
Ordered take out - the spice level definitely brings the heat. Medium here is spicy at most other restaurants. Good flavors!

Authentic Thai flavors with a lot of heat. Comfortable seating and the service was fast. Prices are lower than other comparable places. Food was good with reasonable portion sizes. Parking in the area can be difficult.

Ordered pad thai with pork belly. Delish! Only caveat is I asked for mild and it was still spicy. Next time I will ask for no spice at all.

No-frills unassuming Thai place serves some of the best authentic, non-westernized, Thai food anywhere outside of Thailand. Not nearly as spicy as Thailand but for most people, that’s a positive. I haven’t been back in years but flavors here would rank well there as well. Good service.
- Naked Shrimp: 8.3/10, iconic raw shrimp dish.
- papaya salad: 7.2/10, staple.
- Panang curry: more Malaysian ofc but still good (6.8/10). Sauce itself is tasty maybe a tad sweet
- clams with bean sprout pancake: 7.4/10 good with sauce, not too oily.
- catfish: 6/10
- Shrimp paste rice: 7.5/10
- Mini hot pot: 6.3/10 not exactly my style bc I like Szechuan style hot pot
Bad: AC not working, plastic dishes, some sand in food, some cleaning fibers on dish, tip on itemized receipt is different from the one shown after they scan your card.

All I can say is WOW. I've had a lot of Thai food in my life (never in Thailand though) but this one has to be one of the best if not THE best place I've been to! We ordered quite a few things: duck on rice, yellow curry, pad see ew, panang curry, and egg rolls. That Pad See Ew has to be one of the best I've had. The curries were absolutely PERFECT. No notes. We did get mild because we always want to taste the dish before the spice so next time, I'll be getting medium. Parking is just street parking but we literally were in and out in an hour because service was so quick and we scarfed everything down. This will be hard to beat, that's for sure!
