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

Honestly best thai spot I've been to in awhile! Food was great service was great atmosphere was great. Come here for a warm meal and excellent everything. Seriously. These people rocked it.

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.
