Quick and easy service. Lots of good and beverage options. Fresh taste and smells all around. Definitely want to check this place out again. Great place for lunch time or anytime as long as their open.

We came here because a friend was in the area and we saw videos of this place online that made it look really good. While the service was genuinely friendly, unfortunately, that was the only highlight of our visit.

The food was disappointing. We ordered the Pad Thai, which, like many reviewers mentioned, had an odd yellow color and didn’t taste authentic. It was okay at best, but definitely not what you expect from proper Pad Thai.

We also tried the Yum Wai Wai, a stir-fried noodle dish. It was $15 but felt more like a $1 dish that I could make at home. It used cheap instant-style noodles that turned mushy when cooked, and ground chicken—nothing fancy, just the kind you can buy at the grocery store for $1.99 /lb. The flavor wasn’t bad, but the texture made it hard to enjoy.

My friend got the Pad See Ew, which she found bland and overly soft. She couldn’t finish it. Overall, we all agreed that even more casual spots like Thai Purple in SGV served better food than this.

Delicious food, affordable, out fast — first time here and we’ll definitely be back!

Great food, fast, inexpensive.
Spiciness adapted for American palates. If you want more than minimally spicy, you have to say so. One chili is minimal.
The Pad See Ew is admirably garlicky though!

This is one of those little hole in the wall places that makes some bomb food! First time going and the food speaks for itself. It was delicious, full of flavor, and quick service. It’s a small place overall, the interior has room for at most 20 people and the small outdoor space probably another 15-20. The service was great and very friendly. We were served our appetizers within the first 5 minutes of being there and our main dishes maybe another 10 minutes later. The gyoza was great! My girlfriend had the Garlic & Pepper Beef which was great too, but my plate was so much better! I got the Braised Pork Hock which was incredible, the pork was so soft and the sweet & sour sauce they gave you was delicious! Will be going back!!

This is the best thai food I’ve ever had. Ate pad kee mao, yellow curry chicken, crab Rangoon and mango sticky rice. Everything was 10/10

The rice and fried rice was horrible/mushy. The noodles had no taste. Everything was worse than before. And we had to use the restroom... They said they have no restroom in the restaurant. Is that even legal?

I've eaten here a few times but the last time was such a disrespect. I asked them to go mild on the spice I think my stomach was acting up... anyways the cook made the spice super hot. Hotter then I've ever had and when I started eating they laughed at me as I started choking. I still might sue them.

Environment is okay but the rest is not. I ordered a soup coming with fire underneath. I requested to turn off the fire because it’s boiling and too hot. It takes so long to call someone, and this person literally said we should wait until the fuel burnout.
The food is terrible
Never come again
