Great Thai food! We got panang curry and pad see ew and they were both delicious. My son is gluten and dairy free and we love Thai food since it's so easy to accommodate his allergies! We loooooved the fresh green coconut water in the coconut. We also got mango with sticky rice, but the sticky rice was bright green. My son doesn't like rice so I ordered him just the mango, but if I were getting it for myself I definitely would have asked for non-green sticky rice if they even have it (I know it can be green from using pandan leaves, but the color was so vibrant I'm assuming they use food dyes, though I could be wrong). We tried getting there during rush hour and traffic was SO bad we parked 2 blocks away on the street and walked. Would definitely go back!

the bangkok duck, pad see ew and thai salad were SO delicious!!

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, very cute interior and exterior. The location on Lighthouse is stellar.

The mussaman beef curry is my personal favorite, one of the top dishes across all restaurants in Monterey!

Amazing authentic Thai food. I highly recommend their curry dishes along with the duck dishes. I enjoy my food crazy spicy and I love that they can accommodate that with the spice level choices you can do.

Good food!

Honestly pretty disappointing. The Thai food was bland and lacked depth of flavor, nothing really stood out. On top of that, the staff felt indifferent and not very attentive. Probably won’t be coming back.

Food is okay but the wait timing is absurd.

My wife had the Wonton Soup, I had the Mango-Coco curry with shrimp and my 6 year old daughter had the Beef Massaman curry. All were outstanding! We will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely recommend the kao soi! It was the perfect dish to warm you up in the evening and had great flavor! The service is great too!

Worst Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. It took forever to place our order even though the restaurant was very quiet with only a few tables occupied. The portions were small, and the food was extremely salty and overly sweet—the worst Thai food I’ve had.

After taking our order, the servers never came back to check on us. We had to go to the register near the entrance ourselves to ask for the bill. When we paid and left, no one said thank you or even acknowledged us, which is very unusual compared to most restaurants.

Afterward, I saw reviews mentioning cockroaches in the food, and if I had seen those earlier, I would never have come. My dish also had something stuck on it and looked dirty. They even charge an extra fee for paying with a credit card. Not even worth one star.

The seating was awful. Service was bad. Food is very low quality and very expensive relative to the quality.
