Almost ashamed of how often I eat here. If you like Thai food, or noodles for that matter, you must come here at least once. Go see Josh at the bar outside. He’s always working up fresh cocktails.
June 2025
This place is pricey but it was a special birthday meal. I put some tips in parenthesis below. We split the house salad (order extra ginger dressing), the fried tofu (order extra sauce and also their sweet soy sauce called ponzu I think), the vegetable & tofu soup (SO good), and the vegan pad thai with veggies and tofu (get extra sauce on the side). Everything was really good!
January 2025
Our first time ever trying Thai food. The servers were very helpful. The food was amazing. We ordered mild and it was very good. Definitely will go here again. We ate inside because it was still hot and humid but I can’t wait until it’s a little cooler outside to sit in the adorable outside seating area.
