Love this restaurant! Have been coming here since Paul owned it. Now it’s under a different owner but the great thing is that you can’t tell. It’s still as tasty as it ever was and I very much appreciate them keeping lots of the same menu items. It’s one of our favorite if not our favorite Thai restaurant in Marin!

After eating I related to the staff that our food was the best I have eaten in a restaurant this year! The crispy basil prawns were incredibly delicious. Prices are refreshingly very reasonable too.

We eat Thai food often so we can tell right away the flavors are not typical Thai taste. The Yumnua beef has cabbage and no tomatoes nor cucumbers or Thai basil; plenty of beef. Tom yum doesn’t have onions. Pad See Ew has typical broccoli instead of the Chinese broccoli; meat was put generously. All three tasted good, flavorful and hot. They put no utensils nor napkins in the bag and I couldn’t check while carrying my baby on hand. Waited for 35 minutes instead of 20 like they said on a Saturday night. Price is good, $14 for salad, $15 for noodles, and $17 for shrimp Tom yum; no extra charge for the beef option. Nice receptionist. Still, I think we will come back.

This was my first experience having Thai food. My nephew and his wife invited me for lunch. I had a great time. The food was excellent. I had a Thai iced tea that I enjoyed immensely. The flavors were like nothing I had ever eaten. I thoroughly enjoyed my total experience. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Not being a big eater, I was still shocked at how little of a portion there was for the price. I could easily have paid the same amount for double the portions any where else. Nothing exceptional in their flavors. It was all right. Didn't help that they brought out the wrong dish either. Over priced.

We ordered pad Thai, yellow curry, and sauteed eggplant with shrimp. I really like their sauteed eggplant! 🍆

The first two times we got, take out, the food was exceptional. The spice level was requested, flavors were present too. The third occasion we got the same dish, it was so disappointing, no taste, no spice, nada,😭, there were hairs in the food and that was the final straw. That's why it gets 2 stars from me .

First time at this little treasure. Lovely, gracious service, wonderful food, cozy and comfortable small establishment.

The food came out fairly quickly for how busy they were. We started with shrimp chips with tamarind sauce - love those! We ordered much more than we could possibly eat because we wanted to try everything and then have leftovers. Everything was really really good. The green curry was fire and the mango with sticky rice was delicious too.

It is an intimate little spot. We could hear a conversation two tables over - loud unpleasant woman treating the staff poorly from the moment she was seated. Very disheartening as they were working very hard on a busy Saturday night. Please be kind and respectful to these restauranteurs and the food alchemy they are creating in their wonderful little spot.

This place is a hidden Gem. Service is alway great and the food arrives fairly quickly after ordering. Highly suggest the Chrissy Basil Prawns and the Green Curry with eggplant and shrimp. Everything is delicious. Such a treat!

The Pad Thai was great. The restaurant needed to turn on the A/C. It was hot and musky smelling.
