I’m not usually a fan of this type of food, but while traveling with a friend, we randomly walked into this place — and I want to share my honest experience.
This is not a fancy or flashy restaurant, but I was truly impressed by the warmth and flavor of the food. It’s a small, humble place, but the food is very tasty and well-prepared.
The prices are fair for the quality they offer.
The service was good, the atmosphere was calm, and overall it...
July 2025
Good food and service but would probably not call this place serving authentic Thai (green peas?). Nevertheless the food is still good with the special “wok taste” for both the pad Thai and pineapple fried rice.
April 2025
Excellent homestyle thai food. The spicy thai spaghetti is to die for (ask for extra tomatoes). Very cozy, comfy atmosphere. Big portions. My favorite thai restauraunt in the south bay.
