I came in for a very late lunch so the poorly cooked food was not a result of being overwhelmed with orders. Pan-fried dumplings were burnt, even the sauce they came with tasted burnt. I tried to just eat the filling inside - it tasted old. I also ordered the pad Thai and it was cooked with way too much sauce. I ended up going somewhere else to actually have lunch.

My husband and I dined here, and from the start, the experience was disappointing. Despite arriving at 3 p.m. (with the restaurant open until 8 p.m.), we were rushed to order right away. When I requested “hot” spice, the server refused and told me “medium,” implying I couldn’t handle the heat.
We also ordered a bento box that included an appetizer. The appetizer was brought to our table, but shortly after, another server came out to say it was actually for a different table. Even though it was their mistake, we were still charged for it. The food itself was extremely underwhelming—bland, lacking flavor, and with proteins that tasted old or sour.
Overall, this was a terrible experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you truly enjoy Thai food, I strongly suggest finding a more authentic restaurant elsewhere.

This is my Thai mom’s go to Thai food spot in Crestview and it just got better. Their Thai Boat Noodles (or beef Noodle Soup) is some of the best in the area and perfectly seasoned every time I get it. They just created a new Chef’s Special menu with authentic items that are not westernized and not commonly found in NW Florida and in Crestview. The portions are generous and they are very friendly. They have BOGO for Thai tea on Saturdays too. The new menu is so good, I am going back again tomorrow.

The food here is great. Our server was very attentive and brought our food out fast. Cheese wontons were my family's favorite! Will be coming back!

The food and service was excellent! Shrimp Pad thai was amazing. Wonton soup and chicken curry were delicious! Staff was friendly and courteous. Their menu is huge and everything was fresh.

Place posts hours til 8:30PM - called at 7:30 to place a takeout order but no answer so I figured they were just busy - nope - I showed up about 7:55 and they were closed. A business that can't even stick to its own posted hours isn't a business it's a hobby they do when they feel like it. I'll never go back - I can't reward a place with my business if they don't even care enough to be open when they say they will be.

I have driven across town several times to eat here during their posted business hours, and they are closed!! So I have wasted my lunch time to drive down here for nothing!! This is extremely disappointing, very inconvenient and not professional. I love their food, but this seems very inconsiderate of them.

I thought a long time about making this review, especially since it's a small business, but I can't get over how we were treated.
My boyfriend ordered us two Sukinam noodle soups with ONE extra order of glass noddle and bean sprout to be put on the side. We were charged for two extra orders of noddle and bean sprout and they were cooked into the food, so it absorbed all the broth, became bland and soggy. We rarely ever return food or ask for it to be remade but this was a $55 meal that I didn't care to eat. Keep in mind its a $3 up charge per order of bean sprout and $4 per order of noodle.
My BF calls in and asks if there's any way to make this right, and explained the situation of how our order was placed wrongly. Never once did we ask for a refund but was offered one by the front desk. He was instructed that he would have to drive again back in town to be able to charge the refund. He apologized at least 4 or 5 different times about the situation, even though it wasn't our mistake, but we both felt guilty getting refund from a small business. ( I listened to the entire phone call with him)
He drives back to the restruant for the second time that night and as he's trying to process the refund, a man who I can only assume was the manager, storms out from the kitchen and tells him that he needed to bring the food back. Again, we never "return food" so we're not used to the process and was not once informed over the phone to bring it back, as we had already tossed it in the trash. As my boyfriend was trying to explain that he was not instructed over the phone to bring back the food, he was interrupted by this manager who proceeded to raise his voice at him and demanded "No you will let me speak" which he continued to yell and lecture my BF about why he needed to bring the food back. Keep in mind my BF never once was rude or demanded anything from them to warrant such an aggressive response.
My BF came back home frustrated over the whole ordeal, explaining the entire situation as he fished the food from the trash. I went with my BF to return to the restaurant, for a third time that night. My BF walked into the store a little before me and I could see through the window the manager again storm up to the kitchen window. As soon as I walked in behind my BF, I saw the managers demeanor change. I proceed to ask who yelled at my bf and ended up confronting the manager on how yelling at him over miscommunication, that was soley their mistake, was inexcusable. To which the manager stated he didn't want to make this a big ordeal, would refund us and threatened to call the cops. Yet he was the one that blew up at my BF and was nasty to him when he was at the restaurant alone, but as soon as I joined my BF, the manager acted as if we attacked him.
The food was disgusting, expensive and even after clarifying our order 3 times it was still made incorrectly. The customer service with the front desk was great, but management was appalling to say the least. We will not be returning and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone else.
There's plenty of other authentic food in the area I highly recommend Lao-Thai express for good Thai and Arirang for good koren food, both are located on main street.
