Just had dinner with my wife for the first time. Ordered spring rolls with shrimp. When it cam out we had a mess fir presentation and with raw white cabbage and zucchini. 3 rolls with a total of 2 shrimps cut in 1/2. One roll had 2 halves. One roll had 1/2 anfd the other roll had the last 1/2. And the tofu had a sour smell. The pad thai had 4 shrimps and the papaya salad had 2 shrimps. All I can say is this the last time we are eating out any where. So cheap with the servings while charging you high prices that lacks the quality is taking full advantage of the customers

$10- $20 the food and service was pretty good, the atmosphere and decor was intriguing.

The food is great! Used to be very busy for lunch, but it was less than half full the day I was there.

Parking: It could be difficult to find parking close to the restaurant, but can find parking if you are ready to walk a few meters.

Coming here for years, love this place. I usually get the Kai Curry, coconut based dish, with the most tender chicken. It's one of the pricier meals, however, you can feed a family of four on it. Also amazing, the Tom Kha Kai soup. Delicious.

This is a great place! Great food, great service, wonderful owners! I realized I was missing my watch and came back to see if it was at the restaurant. The owner and staff were so kind and went above and beyond helping us search for it. (I finally found it in my car much later :-/ ) They were so great and helpful though! We'll be back!

This spot is a family favorite! We have been coming here for years and love the food. They have plenty of vegetarian options and great lunch specials! Extra love for the spicy curry noodles that have been my go-to for years.
Also, they are accomodating for my mom's food allergies and are receptive to any changes you may want in the dishes.

Good food, healthy portions and the Thai tea was delicious

Parking: Shared lot. Long fence divides the lot and there's no way to cross the fence so everyone jams into the line of spots north of the fence. Weird.

The food is extremely fresh and with pungent herbs, 5 out of 5.The service is very responsive and very respectful, 5 out of 5.The atmosphere is very unique and artistic with traditional Thai decor, a wide open walkway, and beautiful Thai music, 5 out of 5.Honestly haven't been to any other Thai restaurant and traditional and unique as this one. I'm only coming to this one from now on.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide open walk ways with no steps anywhere.

Absolutely delicious Thai food for vegetarians, decently priced. Only feedback would be size of vegetable, especially zucchini, too big for the curries. Otherwise everything was good!
