I went here after losing a round at the National Debate Tournament this past summer; everything was so homey and quaint that it brought me back to peace and truthfully restored a lot of my energy and happiness after a big disappointment. One of the waitresses (whom I presume to be the daughter of the restaurant owners?) was so nice to me and my team and the entire establishment felt like family even thought it was only our first time there. The food was also great and I miss it...

Review: Food and service was amazing! The food was tasty and the owner was super nice. I have a 4 star review because of how difficult it was to find and not having a changing table. If you have young children with diapers they didn’t have a changing table heads up!

We had two Panang curry (coconut chicken with red curry), a taro bubble tea, and mango bubble tea.

Directions: Go to walnut street and enter the public entrance of HotelKirkwood...
