I recently tried the yellow curry and pad thai, and both dishes were incredible! The yellow curry was rich, creamy, and had just the right level of spice, with tender chunks of potato and chicken that soaked up all the flavors beautifully. The curry sauce was fragrant with hints of turmeric and coconut milk, which made it perfectly comforting.
As for the pad thai, it was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy, with a delightful mix of textures. The noodles were cooked just right, and the peanuts added a nice crunch. Each bite had a burst of flavor, with the fresh lime juice cutting through and elevating the dish.
Both dishes paired wonderfully, and the portion sizes were generous. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors with a cozy, satisfying touch

We had an incredible dining experience, starting with the Roti Fried Chicken crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The Garlic Pork Spareribs were equally impressive, cooked to perfection with a delicious garlic marinade that made every bite unforgettable. The highlight of our meal was the Spicy Clay Pot, which delivered just the right amount of heat, balanced with rich, savory flavors. Finally, we couldn’t leave without trying the restaurant’s most popular dessert: Purple Mango Sticky Rice. The vibrant color and sweet, creamy taste of the sticky rice paired perfectly with the fresh, juicy mango. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Highly recommended!

Love this restaurant! The staff is friendly and the food is authentic. They have the most popular food Thailand is known for but also some food that is rarely found and not in the menu.
I highly recommend the jumbo shrimp pad Thai. Pad see ew is really good too. The salads are refreshing. We had appetizers and stir fries- you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.
I also love the large variety of drinks. We had the pink milk-Thai flavor and blue Hawaiian. Next time we’ll try the brunch!

Had fraudulent charges on my credit card shortly after I visited this restaurant (had not used the card for weeks before or since). Contacted the restaurant to inform of them of a possible data breach and they hung up and blocked my number.

Pleasant dining experience at this Thai restaurant in downtown San Mateo. Service was super friendly and very efficient, and all of the dishes were well seasoned and cooked with fresh ingredients. Parking can be hard to find in downtown San Mateo, but there are several parking lots within 5-10 minute walk.

I had an excellent dining experience at this Thai restaurant last night. For appetizers, I enjoyed the chicken satay, roti with yellow curry, and pork ribs. The owners were incredibly friendly, and the food was exceptionally authentic. I will definitely be coming back!

Food was delicious! The catfish was really standout. They informed us that the wrong soup had been made and asked if we would like to wait a bit longer for them to make the correct order, but we were happy to take the already made soup. Really appreciated the transparent communication!
