Environment: The restaurant needs a better ventilation system. You come in for food and get out as a smoky bbq. And there is little to no Thai vibe.

Service: service is fine around average level. I do not have a complaint.

Food: Tom Kha soup is good. The stir fried glass good is recommended. the basil fried rice is average. The Pad kee maw is too soggy and lacks of aroma from cooking in high temperature, very disappointing.

I think it is a okay Thai food stop but do not give too high expectation.

The flavors at this Thai restaurant were a bit overwhelming for me. The spices were quite strong and sharp, and a few dishes had noticeable salt that hadn’t fully dissolved, which affected the overall taste.

The service was average, though the staff were generally courteous, so I appreciated that.

Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but the food didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Pad Thai Noodle and Khao Soi Noodle Soup is really good!

I’ve been here 4 times now, (about to go a 5th!) And the amount of food you get for the price, not to mention how GOOD it all is. I’ve got a different meal each time, and they’ve all been Phenomenal! It’s usually really sparse and I’ve no idea why. I don’t often go out of my way to write reviews, but this place is incredible!

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.
