Nice place, reasonably clean, good service. The food however is not good. Ordered Panang Curry, Yellow Curry, Fresh Spring Rolls and Fried Rice. The fresh rolls were mostly iceberg lettuce, the curry was water consistency, and the fried rice was greasy. The Panang Curry had three pieces of chicken in the whole bowl and the vegetables appeared to be frozen. For the price that was paid it was quite disappointing. I didn't expect Thai food similar to what we eat in Thailand, but the food was not even close to authentic Thai.

We got to this place last minute, they were nice to accommodate our big group, the service and attitude of the server was great but the food was very average, it lacked the flavor , the very basic mango salad was made out of literally raw mangoes , with too much cabbage,it was so bad , the rest of the food was the same .
Definitely not going back ……

Would be 4 stars but the $19 Salad was very small. Was told that it was large prior to ordering but they seemed very cheap and low quantity of greens or lettuce . Everything else was good but I thought all the portions were small based on what they charged but I guess it’s a fancy wine country town and they feel obligated to do that.
Vegetarian options: Not many

If you want to eat chicken and shrimp in your food inadvertently while you ordered vegan food, then go there. If you want to get reprimanded from the restaurant manager for complaining about the order then go there. Order Pad Thai, no chicken no shrimp no egg being allergic to meat and instead got the food filled with that. The manager shouted on me and didn’t refund. Height of arrogance.

First of all, I highly recommend the appetizers. I do not recommend Thai tea or Thai iced coffee. Among the appetizers, we recommend the Shrimp Dumpling (5 pieces) and the Thai Crispy Wings. I regretted the pineapple fried rice because it had a strong, unique smell of spices. The atmosphere was better than other Thai restaurants in Central California. In particular, it felt like a lot of attention was paid to interior accessories. The staff were very friendly. The price seemed just right. To sum up, the appetizer menu was so delicious that I was looking forward to the Entree menu, but I was disappointed!! The pineapple fried rice, Thai tea, and Thai iced tea had nothing special and were ordinary compared to the other items. Next time I'm going to try the Panang Short Rib!

The food was so fresh and tasty. We ordered some noodles and they came with a lot of yummy beef and great flavor. We also ordered a chicken dish that was amazing. The spring rolls also didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend it for fresh food and great service.

The setting is very nice, if you can get in. There are no simple dishes for guests who don't like Thai food, so forget bringing your picky compadres. Some dishes are deceiving. For example, the "barbecue chicken" is 1/2 boiled chicken sautéed in oil whole on the bone with sweet and sour sauce. It is not barbecued at all, which leaves one wondering why it is called barbecued chicken. It costs 18 and there is nothing palatable about it. Rice and veggies are extra. It may come out 5-10 minutes after the rest of the dinner plates, leaving its recipient sad at the table. The menu is fixed, and changes are not entertained. There are some good aspects such as the nice lighting, beautiful music, and excellent presentation.

We had a great meal and the service was fantastic. The pineapple fried rice was delicious and the coconut crème brûlée was equally as good. The presentation of both was unique and added to it being a memorable meal.
Kid-friendliness: There were several kids in the restaurant and the wait staff was good at engaging them.
