We tried a couple of dishes we hadn't tried before- Lao sausage and Lad Na. Also spring rolls, Pad See Yew, and Garlic stir fry with beef.
My husband and I are Thai afficionado, and love decently spicy food. Our mediums had definite bite!
Sister- and brother-in-law enjoyed their mild dishes. Definite go to!

I’ve given this place enough chances, often there was a problem with my order. Just like on the picture, I requested a fried tofu and clearly it is not fried. On top of that they charged me over $18 for a soup! The menu they give away says $13 for large size tofu soup so if you’re going to raise the prices so much, menus need to be updated for transparency.

It was my 1st experience trying Thai food and it was delicious! I started with the Crab Rangoon, the pastry was so flaky and the filling so meaty. The Sweet & Sour Chicken was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful! The dessert was out of this world, sticky rice with mango slices and a sweet cream sauce. You wouldn't think that the two go together but they do! I highly recommend this place for amazing food and a quiet atmosphere!
