This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Santa Cruz area. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is super cozy. 10/10 recommend. 😍
August 2025
What amazing food. We are vegetarians and they were conscious of our needs. The spring rolls are to die for. The curry and noodles was also really good. They definitely have some secret sauce that I will be coming back for. I am told that they run about 40 rolls in a day so you can imagine their popularity. Highly highly recommend. Dessert was really good as well

Che was our waiter I wish somebody had noted that this place can make anything vegan. The food is very good not too much oil full of flavor and very fresh.
The customer service is exceptional and what a friendly crew. I would love to come here more if I was closer.
I must try and they had also 1 awards from the Santa Cruz Sentinel for best Thai Resturant !!!
