Food was burnt and all they wanted to offer was a 10 percent discount after spending a good amount of money. In order for me to get my food replaced I had to take the 30 min drive back the same night. The customer service with this issues was not good and I will not spend my money here again.

Longtime customer Soi 38 will be my new spot. I have enjoyed this place for years but whenever you have a problem they are TERRIBLE at taking accountability. The final straw was spending $190 and food that was burnt and Tommy the manager being completely unapologetic and refusing to resolve it. I’ll drive past here from now on.

Many interesting dishes, and taste great!
Food was delicious and the service was great. We had a coconut soup and chicken tapioca dumplings as appetizers. The chicken soup was definitely one of my favorite dishes ever. For mains we had a tom yum and a massaman curry. They're not kidding when they warn you about the spice levels (which is awesome haha).
Had a mango sticky rice for dessert and it was perfect.

Recommended dishes: Khao Soi with Chicken
I recently dined at a restaurant where I tried a variety of dishes that left me with mixed feelings. While nothing was downright bad, none of the dishes really stood out either. Here's a breakdown of what I tried:
Khao Sai with Chicken: This dish, a Thai curry noodle soup, was decent but lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The broth was mild, missing the rich complexity and spice that make Khao Sai a standout dish. The chicken was tender, but overall, the dish felt somewhat bland.
Lemon Grass Chicken: The Lemon Grass Chicken had potential, but it fell short in execution. The chicken was cooked well, but the flavor from the lemongrass and herbs was very subtle, and I found myself wishing for more of a fragrant punch. It was pleasant but not memorable.
Chicken Pineapple Bites: These were small pieces of chicken with pineapple, but unfortunately, they didn't quite hit the mark. The combination of sweet and savory didn't come together as well as I'd hoped, and the dish felt a bit one-dimensional.
Spicy Fried Mushrooms: The mushrooms were crispy, but the "spicy" element was underwhelming. There was a light heat, but not enough to really call it spicy. The coating on the mushrooms was okay, but it lacked the crispness or seasoning that could have elevated the dish.
Coconut Ice Cream: Dessert was pleasant enough, with a nice, creamy coconut flavor. However, the ice cream felt a little too icy rather than smooth and velvety, which detracted from the experience , the Coconut flavor was missing.
Overall, the meal was perfectly fine but uninspiring. None of the dishes had that wow factor, and I couldn't help but feel that they were all a bit rushed or lacking in attention to detail. If you're craving something specific or just looking for a quick bite, it's not a bad option, but I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. The flavors didn’t pop the way they could have, and the overall experience left me wishing for a bit more finesse.

Magnificent surprise! Excellent Thai restaurant with efficient reception. Excellent service. But above all a tasty dish that I recommend: beef curry! One of the best I've eaten outside of Thailand. Very reasonable price for the quality and service. I'll come back as soon as I can!

Fun bustling place with great food. We had a party of 16 or so and we were served well with fast efficient service. Drinks were nice and all had a nice time. I got the vermicelli noodles which were delicious. Lotus root salad was also good. Portions are a good size.

Crispy lotus and grilled shrimp salad was very good. It would have been better with half the dressing so it didn’t overpower the salad and shrimp. Northern Thai mixed curry with chicken- very good. Again too much sauce. Spicy lemon grass chicken was also very good. Last, coconut pancake was interesting. I think it would be a hit with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and powdered sugar on top. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere as well and not too loud.
