The wife and I are always looking for new Thai restaurants,throw in Lao food and you have a winning quinella. Super friendly owner. Food is wonderful. Started with the Tom Kah Kai soup. Fragrant coconut broth with lemongrass. Loaded with chicken and mushrooms. The summer rolls were fresh and packed with herbs and rice noodles,served with peanut sauce. The wife opted for the Massaman chicken. Fresh and hot off the stove,lots of chicken,potatoes and carrots in a flavorful broth....

We have eaten here before and usually it’s really good. But tonight was a disappointment, the pad Thai had no flavor. I had a few bites and it just tastes like flavorless noodles. My boyfriend had the holy basil chicken which was full of flavor, but very soupy and a smaller portion than usual. The crab ragoon was delicious and same with the mango sticky rice. Maybe it was an off night, but not happy with my dinner 😭

I love this place. Ting is very nice and helpful when you have questions about the menu. I've never been disappointed. My favorites: vegetable summer rolls, pho boat, mango and sweet coconut sticky rice.
