“My friends and I ordered from here and we LOVED our food. We got the drunken noodles, Indonesian bihun goreng, and curry chicken noodle soup, as well as steamed vegetarian dumplings. The portions are great and very tasty, would definitely recommend!“

“love seeing people enjoying southeast asian food because I grew up with it. It’s what my family cooks and it is my comfort food. I enjoyed everything I ate last night at trivia night.

Tom kha gai creamy coconut chicken soup was super rich and flavorful. It had pieces of chicken breast, slices of shiitake mushrooms and grape tomatoes in it. It was great for an extremely cold evening.

Drunken noodles with duck was a group favorite. Flat, wide rice noodles were cooked till soft and chewy. Flavors of Thai basil and a little kick of heat paired well together. The duck could’ve been cooked to a nice medium. It was a bit over done for me but wasn’t dry. The dipping sauce for the duck was very fish sauce forward. I wish the duck was marinated with flavor so you can eat it with the noodles. I felt like I was eating two different dishes but it was really one dish. Highly recommend the noodle dishes here. The pad see ew is another favorite with the same type of flat, wide rice noodles.

Curry chicken was served with white rice. It had a little bit of vegetables on there but if it was cooked with red or green peppers it would’ve given a better presentation to the dish. Still very flavorful.

Laab tofu was served with lettuce, radishes and cucumbers. We usually eat it with rice at home too but you want the fresh produce to balance the savory, sour and umami flavors. I’ve never had it with tofu but my friend is a vegetarian so it was interesting and flavorful. The toasted sticky rice in the laab truly shines through. I would eat it again.

Fried shrimp with tamarind sauce was so delightful. Shrimps were huge, fried to perfection in a light tempura batter and drizzled with tamarind sweet and sour sauce. It’s also served with lettuce, radishes and white rice. I’d order this again.

Thai hot wings had a tasty sticky siracha sauce on it. It was sweet with a tiny kick to it. Chicken wings were delicious.

The rock sausage is served in a cute little basket over a bed of lettuce and sliced radishes. I would eat this with rice at home. The sausage was juicy and sweet. Very tasty.

Pineapple tofu fried rice had a beautiful presentation served in half of a pineapple. It was tasty and very pretty to look at!

Thai iced tea was sweet, creamy and refreshing. Sangria and lychee mojito was very good. The bar area is beautiful. The restaurant was packed. Atmosphere is beautiful.

I wish all the food came out at the same time so our group of 6 could’ve eaten together. Dishes came out one by one and food got cold. Also, the music could be turned down a tad so we could hear one another at the table.

All in all, I recommend this wonderful restaurant and I’d love to return to try different dishes.

Vegetarian options: All proteins can be replaced with tofu.“

“This place has a mom and pop feel with a cute atmosphere inside. The food is infinitely better than the fancier Mexican restaurant right next door. It was affordable and the wait staff was super polite and attentive. 10/10 if you’re looking for low key, affordable, authentic Mexican food.“
