The food is good with a great vegetarian selection. However, the service is terrible. The phone was constantly ringing and no one ever answered! Our meals were almost thrown on the table. The service was so bad that we laughed throughout our meal at how bad it was. The food is good but hardly worth feeling as if you are a bother! No feeling of appreciation for your business.

Curry was good but definitely had much better and gave me no plastic fork , liquid (curry) was leaking out so lost most of it.

We got there right as the place opened for dinner and were politely greeted. We were seated in a corner booth that was intimate and in a nice little spot for a date, but the table had chunks taken out of it. It was a bit off putting for me not to be able to look around too, but I’m sure if I’d asked they’d have moved us. The table being messed up wasn’t a great impression, though. We were given ice water.
We ordered the Spring Roll & Tom Kha bowl as appetizers. The spring rolls came in a set of 2 & were the same basic generic spring rolls you’d get at many other restaurants- they were quite good. The soup was tasty and made me feel warm & toasty inside.
Masaman Curry is my favorite Thai dish and I try it everywhere I go to eat this kind of food. This one was a winner- the sauce was thicker than I’ve ever had it anywhere. This dish came with a first on the side for me (avocado) and the coconut milk base curry was sweet and mild with a hint of peanut flavor. In it was mixed potatoes, carrot and cashew nuts; I opted for tofu as well. My only regret is that I wish there had been more. It came with a heaping side of rice.
We got the Spicy Basil mild, and the stir fry came our tasting of a grill, mixed with onions, basil leaves, bamboo and sautéed mixed vegetables. I didn’t realize it wouldn’t have any kind of sauce. I asked about it and they advised it comes dry. I hinted at wanting some sort of sauce on the side to my date but he said we have sauce at home and so this dish is waiting in the fridge to be doctored up and eaten (we were full after sharing the other things).
There was Halloween candy at the front of the store. They charged a card fee, which I wish they’d told me about in advance. I didn’t use the restroom there so I can’t attest to that. The service was adequate and they were very nice, but nothing wowed me. The table being all chunked up was kind of yuck too.
Either way I would definitely eat there again- there’s not really any other options for Thai in Gainesville except one other spot with hours I never seem to make. Also the Masaman was really great. I spent a little over $40 which is decent. It was a truly okay experience.
Vegetarian options: Lots of choices

eat here!
portioned for your dining experience
clean, calm atmosphere. friendly and relaxed service.
the rice was a little softer than al dente but still good.
mild/medium/hot is more accurate than other places would be
does charge a credit card fee, can't fault them for that though
Vegetarian options: pescatarian or tofu available

Eat here a few times a month for lunch, and have to say their green curry is some of the best I’ve had.

Probably the best Thai you can find in Gainesville. As someone who recently moved back after being spoiled in Hawaii, this spot is the closest I've gotten to scratching that itch. My only complaint is *NO DRUNKEN NOODLES* 😭😭😭

Please take a second to read their Worst/1-star reviews. Notice a common theme? Even the 1-star reviews all admit how good the food is! Dead serious here: this is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had on east coast USA.

Treated my mom out for dinner at this small cozy restaurant. We ordered the masamon seafood special and some pad Thai noodles. The noodles were great and the special tasted amazing. A definite recommendation for a Asian restaurant in Gainesville.

My daughter liked her fried rice however it just wasn’t anything special. I’ve never had thai but i may go back to try the curry stuff but it just wasn’t bad but not anything special… maybe I just don’t like thai that much…??♀️

I’ve been eating here for years & I love it every time! The Massaman chicken curry is so full of flavor & is paired perfectly with their white rice! Their fried rice is light and delicious as well. The Pad Thai & Basil Noodles are also absolutely wonderful. This is by far my favorite Thai restaurant!

The cheese rolls literally had no cheese in them. We waited an hour for our entrees. The phone rang THE WHOLE TIME. If you’re going to ignore it, just unplug the damn thing so the rest of us can have some peace while we eat.
