Had a great time here. As soon as we were greeted in I knew it was a mom & pop shop. It was very warm and welcoming. The pad sew ew was delicious and she had great recommendations such as the spring rolls. Reasonably priced and reasonably portioned. I will be coming back again.

This restaurant is hands down my favorite place to eat when I'm downtown. The owners are the sweetest & most kind people I've ever met. I kinda wish they were my family. Lol. Now that I think about it, they are.

We were gonna eat here but we were told they have no high chairs. Description here on Google Maps say they do but they don’t. Lady didn’t even apologize or anything. She also seemed like we disturbed her when we were at the door waiting to be seated. She assumed we’re getting take out because of no high chairs. Glad we didn’t end up eating here because the other Thai place around the corner was REALLY GOOD!

Tiny restaurant with the best Thai food! We had gyoza, the hot basil, green curry with tofu, and green curry with pork. The tofu was fresh and firm. Everything was fresh and delicious. The house cabernet was also good. I was halfway through before thinking about taking a picture. If I lived here I would definitely become a regular.

I had such a nice time here. Panang curry doesn't get much better than this. Half the fun was interacting with the owners. I'm sure I will be returning soon.

I went to Thai Island from out of town, ordered the Green Curry, Pad See Ew, Gyoza, and Spring Rolls. I like spicy and ordered the curry with a level 8, it was perfect! Ordered by phone and it was all ready in under 15 minutes. Everything was absolutely delicious and service was great. I will make sure and come next time I am in town.

What a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. The owner is incredibly kind and thoughtful—she even recommended swapping shrimp for salmon in my seafood fried rice since I don’t eat shrimp, and let me tell you… game changer! I never would’ve thought of that combo, and it was absolutely delicious.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned for the price. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the service made us feel right at home. The owner checked in on us during the meal and had a lovely conversation with us. It truly felt like we were visiting family.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai food with heart and hospitality, this is your spot. Can’t wait to come back! 💛

Here’s Good

My wife and I have been coming to this mom & pop Thai shop for 10 plus years. It’s always consistent and delicious. They used to have some awesome lunch specials but I think it’s just Al a carts these days. For the portion and quality it’s still a really great deal. Today we got the Basil Chicken and Green Curry. We love the Panang curry, crispy chicken and the spicy fried rice.

Visited this cozy and beautifully decorated restaurant with a friend and we were not disappointed. Everything is delicious, friendly atmosphere, and personal service. This place has been here for 25 years! It's a husband and wife team. The husband cooks and the wife waits. She's very knowledgeable and recommended the spicy fried rice and the rest was history. It's the perfect amount of spice, flavorful, and just absolutely delicious! I came back later in the week and had the drunken noodles, and it was just as good. I will be coming back here. It's such a friendly atmosphere and a hidden gem.

This place is CLOSED. There's a chain wrapped around the front door.

What a beautiful quaint little place for delicious Thai food. This was by far one of the best Thai food we have eaten. Everything fresh, home made style, served warmly by wonderful owners. The price was undoubtedly the lowest I have paid in the last 10 years. Must try, must go place. Please keep in mind that their hours have changed and they close early at 8:00 pm now.

If you want food that tastes like it was cooked by hands of your beloved mother, then this is a must try spot.
