First time here. Loved the owner, sweet, kind energetic and welcoming. Offered and explained her spice levels. I informed her I once traveled back and forth to 🇹🇭 for 10 years and I was aware of the spice levels so I ordered level 5 and extra grounded chili to sprinkle on my curry, my Tom Yum Kai and Kua Kai. The scent of the food took me back to Bangkok, Sampanthawong. It was quite palatable and I shall return. Im sorry I have no pictures to share because I finished all the food, leaving enough for 2-3 bites for lunch the next day. It wasn’t a food challenge but it was delicious and never felt fool, which tells me they kept it real and wok'ed those noodles, I tasted it! Hands ✋️ to that chef! Excellent work. Ill be back for that warm smile
ขอบคุณครับ 🙏🏽

I ordered and was served a delicious lunch special yellow chicken curry. I was charged full price. Very disappointed.

Visited on a coworker’s recommendation. Ordered a green curry chicken (very spicy), white rice, and some imitation crab rangoons. Came out to $34.48, and they said it’d be ready in 10 minutes... took a good deal longer than that, though, and the cashier did not give me an update until long past that time. The rangoons were decent (though they really skimped on the sauce), but they forgot the rice and the curry was as thin as tom kha and not spicy! Very disappointing. Was considering trying them again over the course of a few weeks to see how their pineapple fried rice, tom kha, and pad thai are, but now I’m having second thoughts, especially if I’m shelling out $20+ per entree.

Ordered via Uber Eats, paid $60 for two orders of Pad Thai. Arrived with no utensils, no sauces, no napkins…just two containers of overcooked mush. You’re better off going to a Panda Express drive thru. And nobody answers a phone at the establishment, either.

The noodles are just magnificent 😮‍💨😮‍💨 big portions enough to share with another person or you can just be selfish and eat all of them yourself cause these are some good tasting noodles.

Overall it was pretty damn good! I had seafood Pad Thai. It was really good I just wish it were a little sweeter and spicier. They have 5 levels of spice and I got number 3. It was completely mild. Hey those things I can live with! I'll be back. It was worth the money! Oh and the Calamari was 🔥🔥🔥

Not sure how the food tastes because they didn't give us any utensils with our take out order.

This was my first time visiting this location. The staff were all friendly and very attentive. Had the Pineapple Fried Rice (with Chicken). I’m not a huge fan of spicy food so I had it mild. It was very delicious!

There is a lot of great Thai in town, but I come back to rice by mama 2 every single week. They are consistently delicious, and they deliver on spice!! I order takeout regularly, and it’s always ready so quickly, and their service is very kind. If you have allergies, they take great care of you. Very gluten-free friendly!

The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. We have different dietary restrictions (gluten free, plant based, nut allergy) and we all can eat here.

Dietary restrictions: Many dishes are gluten free and clearly labeled. Haven't had a single incident of exposure in the years we've been coming here.

We ordered satay chicken, fresh shrimp rolls and masaman curry when on the date with my wife.
Rolls were served first and were more than adequate with excellent sauces. Peanut sauce was especially nice.
Satay chicken blew our minds. I couldn’t shed a memory how we had lok-loks one magical evening in Malaysia. This satay chicken was amazingly marinated, cooked and seasoned. Topped with peanut sauce it was delicious.
At this point we were full. Masaman curry wasn’t as good but at this point we didn’t want much food anyway.

Everything was wonderful about this dining experience. Even though i was full, i still admired dishes on neighboring tables. 10/10 would go back again.
