Great portion sizes for the price you pay. Average price you would pay compared to other restaurants. I got the cashew chicken and that sauce was absolutely delicious. Told them I like spicy and they delivered that heat. Some places you tell you want spicy and they don’t really put it because they’re afraid people will send it back for being TOO spicy. But, not here. Will definitely be coming back. Got my bang for its buck here.

Definitely would not have found this place if a friend who lived in the area didn't mention it.
A real hidden gem here when it comes to Thai food.
I got the Tom Yum soup and it was so warm and cozy and actually so flavorful! Got it with some shrimp and really liked how they put such large shrimp in there.
Overall it was also quite the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold and it was very nice going down the throat.

The food here is good, though the flavors are a bit mild for my taste. The service was excellent—attentive and quick. We didn’t have to wait for a table, which was a plus. There's plenty of parking available outside, making it convenient to visit.
