Amazing authentic Thai food. The basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, mango salad and veg spring rolls were so delicious. The freshness and flavor of the fried rice dishes were soooo good. Service was also very good and took all our food preferences into consideration. Overall we had a very good experience. We would highly recommend this place.

Great Thai food, great prices, the host is super friendly and we got seated right away. I was blown away with the fried tofu appetizer. The crisps on it was outstanding. I also got 2 brown rice, tofu yellow curry and Shrimp pad thai all of it was excellent. I'm definitely coming back here I highly recommend it.Vegetarian options: Tofu

Ate here after many years & had a vegetarian green curry with tofu & cashew nut vegetarian stir fry at lunch. The food was very good, service was fast & good, & the ambiance was nice. In 2014, used a Groupon for dinner for 4 people. The service was fast, they took our reservation on the phone, & the food was very good. Like other Thai restaurants in the area, this place is vegetarian friendly. We had roti, a Thai iced tea, small Tom Yum, Black Pepper & Garlic Tofu, Panang Curry Tofu, & 2 brown rice. We finished it all with a little rice left over. I thought all the food was great. This place is now at the top of my Thai food list for the area!

I ordered it to go, spent $50, chose mild (the least spicy option), and one bite and my mouth is on fire. I tried to power through, but it's so hot I can't even eat it, and it's not just me I asked three other people to try it as well. It looks like it would be amazing so I'm really bummed. Of course I was the last customer of the night so I couldn't bring it back and have them remake it. If they do fix it, I'll edit this review accordingly. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely my favorite Thai food restaurant! Never had a dish we didn't like. Must haves are the Basil fried Rice, Basil Eggplant, Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and of course Mango Sticky Rice for dessert! They are very accommodating when it comes to your level of spicy tolerance. You can always go no spice and add chili sauce at the table.I will say this spot is popular and can get extremely busy, so if you plan to go for dinner or on the weekend. Plan to take your time and not be in a rush. They get a lot of to go orders while serving in-house guests so it can take time to get all your food. However, it's always worth the wait. Super friendly owners, fresh, quality ingredients and extensive options on the menu!Vegetarian options: My husband and I are vegan and we really appreciate that any of the dishes can be ordered with tofu. Also the amounts given are very generous.Parking: The parking is for the whole complex and does fill up with all the other store/restaurants in the same complex. However we have always been able to get a spot. Just sometimes it's a bit of a walk.

Smells like cigarette smoke. Only waiter is waiting tables while taking phone orders. Took so long, I cancelled my order and left.
