I paid extra $3 for added shrimp and they gave me 3 shrimps. And I tipped them well. It’s ridiculous! Never order there again.

We always come here when we're in town. Their food has a particularly fresh taste.
Angus beef salad is incredibly tender, and the seasoning is spot on. The BK chili (I had the chicken version) was just as delicious.
Honestly, the best Thai food I’ve had so far in the U.S.!

The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The Panang curry was excellent, rich and flavorful, but the Pad Thai was pretty bland and disappointing. The atmosphere wasn’t great either—very small space, and there was a strong smell coming from the kitchen that made it less comfortable to sit and enjoy the meal. Overall, not terrible, but ok experience

I love this place. The food is really good despite the humble atmosphere. They make some of my favorite dishes vegan for me. I have Thai family so I know how spicy food should be. I ask for “Thai spicy” and it’s always the perfect amount of spice. The downside is that it’s a little expensive for what it is, but it’s worth it for me.

I’ve been a regular takeout customer for a while, usually ordering one of a few dishes, once a week or every other, for a while now. I love the food, and the staff is overall nice, but I don’t think I’ll be returning. My last couple orders have been pretty under portioned, to the point it’s not worth the money despite being good food.
Normally I can get two meals out of the beef and broccoli, but the last order, and the one in front of me now, is only one portion. Same amount of rice, small broccoli, and noticeably less meat. I get times are tough but this isn’t $20 worth of food even if it’s prepared well.

We were in the mood for Thai and sort of ended up here unexpectedly and it was ultimately a pleasant surprise. We grabbed the pumpkin curry and spicy basil. The pumpkin curry is not a dish I would really every order myself but I'm glad we did, as it ended up being a lovely dish with a great combination of pumpkin and spice. The spicy basil was pretty standard but in a way I didn't mind. Both dishes hit a spice level we wanted and always appreciate.
It is a skosh on the expensive side, which was surprising for the environment that gives takeout vibes.

I've probably been to this restaurant over 30 times and each time the food is beyond impeccable. Every dish I've tried is a 10/10. The service is fast, personal, and friendly.
The servers always remember our orders and have recommended some yummy dishes to try as well. So far, I've tried the Broccoli Beef, Panang Curry, Yellow Curry, Curry puffs (amazing), Pad Thai, and the green beans starter. Portions are good enough that I often have leftovers for the next day. And they're just as good the next day! There's also a lovely photo display of all the dishes on the wall which is super helpful.
Both the dine-in experience and takeout are fantastic. I've even gone for lunch and come back for dinner because it's that good. Atmosphere is casual and good for small groups.
As a side note, you can tell that special attention is taken to cleanliness because the bathroom, kitchen, and dining area are all spotless.
This place absolutely deserves 5 stars for quality, friendliness, and cleanliness! I’m a huge fan of Thai food, but not all Thai restaurants are created equal. I’ll admit I’m usually a bit of a skeptic—my hometown had an incredible Thai spot that set the bar impossibly high—but this place completely won me over. The food was to die for! I genuinely can’t wait to come back.
I played it safe with Pad Thai and opted for fried tofu as the protein. Let me just say: it exceeded all my flavor expectations. It was packed with rich, bold flavors—WOW. I also got a Thai tea (because how can you not?), and it was the perfect sweet complement to the dish.
I wish I had room to try an appetizer or a second entrée, but that just gives me an excuse to come back and explore more of the menu.
The restaurant itself is spotless, with plenty of parking and a convenient location—nestled between Santa Ana and Irvine, not far from John Wayne Airport. It’s right off the major cross streets of MacArthur and Main Street.
The service was equally impressive. The hostess, who also served me, offered a cozy window seat and struck the perfect balance—checking in just enough, keeping my water full, and letting me enjoy my meal in peace.
This spot is a major winner in my book. It sets a new standard for Thai food and dining experience alike!
