I was at this place for 10 mins. I ordered a lunch special. I was given a cold spring roll. They brought me another one. I requested hot sauce. What they brought me was an assortment of open jars with spoons in it that had food stuck to it and had not been cleaned in a while. Looked like a breeding ground for bacteria. It was disgusting. I left and will never return.

Absolutely FANTASTIC Thai food! I’m someone who has a small allergy with nuts, but the staff has always been great about avoiding it in all of our food. We ordered takeout online and it was ready within 10 minutes, and still hot to the touch 15 minutes later! I also love that they kept my noodles separate from the soup so they don’t get too limp. Would definitely recommend giving them a try!

Went for lunch on a Saturday, there were a few tables taken. Service was great, the waitress was very attentive and provided great service. Food came out quickly as you would expect and it was absolutely delicious. Chicken Pad Thai was wonderful, but it was not very spicy since the waitress didn’t ask me how spicy I wanted it, but it was very good. The crab Rangoons were perfectly cooked and the best I have ever eaten. I definitely will go back and try more from the menu.

Visiting from Canada where we have a lot of authentic Thai this place was amazing. The servers were polite the food delicious. We went several times over the course of our visit. Prices were reasonable factoring in our exchange rate. Thank you so much for the pleasurable experience. We'll miss you!Vegetarian options: The vegetables were crisp and cooked to perfection!

I liked it just enough to give it a second chance. Everyone has a bad day and it's possible I just caught them at a bad time. We'll go again and try something different and maybe get some better table service.I did see lots of pickup orders, so maybe that's the way to go here?

Our favorite Thai place in the Emerald Coast area. Food is consistently prepared as ordered, fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I arrived to have lunch at 2:33pm and we were told that they’re only doing take out orders after 2:30pm. No reason to fuss, therefore I agreed to take out.Then 2 young men come in at 2:45 and sit at a table…and the server proceeds to take their “dine in” order. I questioned the server about what I observed and she replied, “I’m so sorry.”Don’t be Sorry, be Consistent, be Fair. I’m a local. We help keep small businesses afloat during slow season!

Part of their sign is out, foreshadowing meal to come. At the front door there was a table in the entry with a box of fortune cookies, and sauces and extras. The floor looked dirty, but I think it was clean, just patterned and worn. Service was good, menu prices reasonable, we ordered cashew chicken and pad Thai. It came out quickly, and both were a grayish pink color,making me think that it must be mostly Frozen and reheated with a few added garnishes. Dishes were accompanied by a mountain of white rice. And it was well cooked. The flavor was ok, except chicken bits tasted off, like they had started to go bad but got cooked anyway. I did not taste the pad thai, but my table mate liked it. He had never had Thai before and would not know the difference. I'm going to try another place next time and see if perhaps the meal will be fresh cooked. Or I'll try something different, like a curry.

This is the fifth time I've had takeout food here. The food is average at best lacking the typical complex flavors of Thai cuisine. The Tom Kha soup lacked the tart citrus flavors that you normally experience with this soup. It was lacking lemongrass, cilantro and/or lime juice that gives the soup the slight tartness and complexity offsetting the sweetness of the coconut milk. The Basil Beef was short on both beef and basil. This was especially disappointing considering they charge an extra $3 for beef. BUYER BEWARE!!! The prices show on their website menu are significantly less than what they actually charge. Tom Kha soup is priced at $12.95 on their online menu but I was charged $15.70. Basil Beef is priced at $11.95 but I was charged $15.70 + $3.00 ($18.70) for adding beef instead of chicken or pork. On top of that they have a small (1"x3") sign at the register indicating they add a 15% mandatory gratuity for takeout without providing an itemized bill. We were hungry so we paid, took our food and left. 15% for takeout service. Really? I will make another restaurant choice in the future. Perhaps Siam or Thai Chiangmai Rai next time.

Fresh rolls were filled with old bagged lettuce that smelled foul, the fresh rolls also contained shrimp cut in half so restaurant can use less shrimp. Terrible experience will not order from again. Could give 0 stars if possible. Way too expensive charging 12 dollars for what is easily only 5 dollars worth of spring rolls.

Take out food is ok but they add 15% gratuity to all orders for take out. Of course, they don't show you the itemized check when you sign the credit card receipt. Any business that decides this is ok loses me as a customer. So I go to my other neighbor Thai restaurant that isn't so deceptive at check out, or buck up and cook at home. Lost a local customer.

Good Thai food but quite pricy - $17 for chicken curry is a little steep but it was pretty good- had the panang curry. Dumplings were very average and would not get again. Overall good for quick Thai if you're craving that but be prepared to overpay

Picked up, drunken noodles, pad thai, red curry, veggie spring rolls and crab Rangoons. Everything was packaged nicely and the food was so delicious!
