I love the atmosphere and the service.
However when you look at the menu you think the prices look reasonable ($13 for pad see ewe) is maybe $3-$5 less than the next Thai restaurant, but when you get the meal you see why its cheaper - theyre like half orders. I had to get 2 noodles dishes ($26 together) before I felt satisfied with the portion.. but that makes it cost more than any other place - really.
So id suggest, coming here for a light brunch would be a fantastic idea, because their Thai iced tea portion is ridiculously large 😆 and super reasonably priced at i believe $4?
But if youre super hungry, dont come here or you'll find yourself having to order 2-3 dishes to fill up, & that wont be cheap.

This is a hidden gem!! Delicious, beautiful garden, sweetest people ever, will make your week. So so cozy feels like visiting your aunt who cooks great food.
Just stopped in and got this pad Thai to go. The menu says $9 and he charged me 14. Extremely lackluster. Not going back. It was really fast though cause I was the only customer on a Friday night.
Best tofu pad Thai I’ve ever had, sauce is so rich and complex and comforting and just the right texture. It isn’t excessively sweet like some Thai places trying to appeal to white people, I’m sensitive to sugar and no problems here. Chose no egg (eating vegan/plant-based) and they cooked plants so well that it fit the traditional style and the sauce powers everything. Outdoor dining smoking allowed in a nice garden area, requires 3 steps. $14
Vegetarian options: Tofu replaces meat, sautéed vegetables replace egg, I got pad Thai but tofu is a staple of SO MANY Thai dishes like pad see ew and beyond so many (most?) dishes can be configured for this.

~I was hoping 2 find a decent late-night Thai Restaurant this side of the Bay, & unfortunately, this ain't it. I probably should have called, yet miscommunications seem 2/Ɓ the standard in these situations. I placed my order directly thrū their website, & was told it would Ɓ/40min Ɓ/4 it was ready. Which is absurd 4 what I ordered;
A Fresh Roll, Cucumber Salad, & Salmon Panang Curry.
They bagged all 3 together, & let it sit. The recommended time was completely off. The fact that they lock the gate so you cannot approach & communicate really is a detriment all around.
I understand why, the neighborhood & all. It's just not that great of a set'⬆️. Maybe it's better 4 dining in?
Ordering pick'⬆️, @ least in my experience, was a complete disappointment. If they cannot comprehend keeping cold items away from hot items 4 pick'⬆️, I do not imagine delivery would Ɓ much better?~
Parking: Free parking, although shared w/ other businesses, residents, whatever is going on?

Almost missed this little cafe, just happened to search for Pad Thai while driving up the 880. Friendly service, tasty food. Ordered the Pad Thai and the Kao Kra Proa (with chicken), looking forward to trying this place again and other items on the menu!

If I could give 0 stars I surely would. While eating my red curry I thought I saw a roach floating in it. I immediately jumped up in disgust & placed it on a napkin to be sure that's what it was. It was indeed a roach! I posted the image, feel free to look. Please do not eat here if you like your food to be sanitary!
We had high hopes. However, there was a missing an item from our order. Portion size was small. Soup was great. Peanut sauce was a bit bland. We paid $49 for what worth $25. We will not return.
