Fantastic experience here. Our servers were lovely, the food was delicious, and sitting on the little patio just off J Street was the exact right vibe for a warm fall evening. The tamarind tofu special was unique and so so so good.

The best yellow curry I’ve had in Sacramento. Full of flavor, I could drink the soup alone. Amazing !!! I have no words. Absolutely breathtakingly good.

Walked in around 730 Tuesday night.
Volume very loud and place had several empty tables.
Sat upfront by window and soon was overcome with people yelling at each other at most tables not sure is the alcohol or what. The waiter came by he was yelling at me as he dropped off an ice water no menu and I started to ask no ice but waiter was on disconnect.
Young woman took order never saw menu I always try pad Thai in new place
Tea came again the male waiter too stressed running around.
Food came pretty fast size was more like a lunch te than dinner entre.
Noodles were big sticky ball nothing could get between them including my chopsticks. No flavor no spice even though I ordered med spicy.
Chicken dry no flavor very mass produced.
Male waiter came by about when I was done how is everything I just waived my hand as ok and justed wanted to leave.
Young woman who was my waiter I had to wait and flag her down to get her interest and that's when I shared pad Thai was not very good she asked i told her.
I didn't look at amount but when I see $17 plus $3 for chicken that was at most something to eat I kind of thought this is wrong.
Young waitress said oh? Bloom feedback gave me bill and I walked out.
This place I'm sure is on the lower end of great food and atmosphere

The red curry was pretty bland, I asked for it very very spicy and it was mild at best. Service didn't ask if it was spicy enough. Prices keep going up and serving size keeps getting smaller. I received a very small scoop of rice which was gone before I was 1/3 done.

Portions are ridiculously small for the higher prices. About 3$-$4 more per entree compared to your average Thai restaurant because you have to pay extra for meat.

Ordered the vegan pani puri, vegan Impossible garlic noodles and pad Thai. Quality, real food. So many vegan options that they have a dedicated vegan menu. And vegan dessert menu!! Most importantly, all delicious and excellent!! Super sweet staff. The owner came over and checked on us a few times, very nice and friendly lady. She told us about how the restaurant has been open for over 20 years and they were one of the first to offer an exclusive vegan menu. And she offered us some just baked pumpkin spice crème brûlée with vanilla ice cream. The vegan cheesecake was amazing, too - topped with a beautiful hibiscus and basil sauce, fresh mangoes, strawberries, apple and pineapple. Very nice atmosphere and ambiance. Wonderful all around. Super impressed!! Will definitely be back.
Vegetarian options: Dedicated vegan menu. Posted on the window out front and they also have seasonal vegetarian and vegan specials.
Dietary restrictions: TONS of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options!!
Parking: Street parking if you’re lucky. If not, plenty of lots and structures around the area.

I ordered online for take out. The rice portions were very small and not enough for the two orders of curry. The yellow curry had about 2 potatoes and 3 carrots in it with about 6 shrimp. The shrimp was so tough I had to trow them away. The curries were primary liquid. The noodles were sticky.
The whole experience was bad. When you open the app a large box pops up telling you to tip and the kitchen staff get 100% of the tip. You have to push ok to let you order. Then, the app auto calculates an 18% tip with an option for 20%. It is very difficult to find a set your own tip option.
I paid $70 for three small and gross entrees. Needless to say, I will not be back. AND, please pay your employees... the entree price is already expensive!
