Best Thai in South Lake, don’t miss out on the Pad Thai! Thinking of going somewhere else? Don’t need to. You’ve got it all right here. Delicious food, great service, lovely ambiance.

Came here after a long day at the Lake, and the staffs gave us a warm welcome. The food is good, especially the crab fried rice. The decoration is warm and cozy. Highly recommend this restaurant

This place is a favorite of ours every time we come to Lake Tahoe. Their Papaya salad is the best we've ever had! The Shrimp Pad Thai and Spicy Garlic Eggplant are also favorites. You can't go wrong with this place. Nice ambiance. Quick service and very hospitable.
