Love the food. Everything we got is good.
FYI: just get the normal curry instead of mango one

This nice and unassuming little spot in upper State Street makes awesome Thai food! I’ve been here several times and ordered online as well - never disappoints. I’ve had so many different items on the menu, too many to list them separately, but I have never had a dish that wasn’t absolutely delicious. Helpings are generous, and if you’re dining in, service is welcoming and friendly.

Really good Thai food in the city! Recommend everyone who passes by try it. The Thai Basil, Curry Duck, Pad Talay, and Tom Kha are so delicious that we all enjoy them. Great staff and service.

I ordered through Door Dash. The food was fresh and hot, that’s where my praise ends. I got Pad Thai. It had no peanuts, no cilantro or scrambled egg. The chicken was so dry it was almost inedible. I won’t be ordering from here again.

I love the food here, however there is one guy who works at the front counter who wears a hat who is SO rude that I get uncomfortable coming here now. My friend and I come here quite a lot and whenever he works at the front counter he always gives us a snarky comment, never checks with the kitchen staff on anything, and has a serious attitude. honestly makes my time here not worth it. Maybe because we are younger he thinks we wont tip but when the other chill guy with a beard works at the front counter we always tip over 20 percent. He makes my experience here almost not worth it and he does not understand hospitality at ALL. Hopefully he gets moved down.

I honestly have never left a review in my life lol. I grew up in SB and on thai food, and realized I’ve never tried this place out. Ordered online. We were really disappointed with the quality. My husbands pad see ew was so bland :( and my Tom yum soup tasted like a lemongrass water soup. Idk if it’s just cz we’re used to other places but the quality was just not up to standard. Maybe for someone who has never had Thai food I can see this being a restaurant to help ease them into it. The rice was perfectly cooked.
I’m hope they add some more flavor to their dishes.

Wonderful meal! My favorite is the Yellow Curry. We tried a few firsts for us, Spicy Eggplant with ground pork, very good. Khao Soi Noodle soup, they hit that out of the park.
Pictured is the Khao Soi.

Came in to grab an appetizer and they covered the fresh spring rolls in peanut sauce. Came to a surprise when it said on the menu it was on the side. So we requested just one singular roll since I am allergic. The staff said it was possible, so after waiting a long time a whole order came out and they charged us for everything because we ate it. If we had know we would have been charged extra for a mistake that is on the menu we would have never eaten them. Disappointing we were the first ones in and waited way too long for a single appetizer and for it to come out wrong. They gave us an extremely hard time and didn’t refund it.
