After years of eyeing this place with interest as I drove past on the way to work, I had lunch here today. I ordered a red curry (chicken) and asked for "spicy". It was spicy enough to break a sweat and experience mild gustatory rhinitis. Thus, eminently satisfying. The place is unpretentious but the food was tasty and the value for price is very high. For what it aims at, 5 stars for sure.

This place is a gem! It is by far some of the best Thai food I've ever had! The people are always very nice, they know their customers and you can't beat the prices. Very affordable for great quality and huge portions!

FAVORITE PLACE FOR CHICKEN PAD THAI! I've tried a couple in the area and this has been the best for taste, portion, and price. The service is always really good and the one less than desirable experience I had, I called and they were happy to correct the issue. Can't wait to try more food from here - but I can't get over the pad Thai.

Great food! Nice owners. Kung Pao chicken not like any other I've had. I love it! They are very good at altering the dish to suit your likes.

Idk what happened but the crab rangoon used to be the best in chambana and it tasted burnt with no seasoning. Also after being gone for months coming back and see the portions was very disappointing.

I ordered food for the first time for take out. It was warm and delicious! Even my coworkers commented on how good it smelled. I got chicken and broccoli with white rice and an egg roll.

It's difficult to leave any stars, but the driver was fantastic and super courteous, so I must. I cannot quite explain the flavor of the crab rangoon, but it was more similar to that of canned tuna than Krab, crab, or even that cream cheese and carrot stuff some people do. Then there is the hot and sour soup. It looked like egg drop, so at first I thought it was simply a mix up. Then I tasted it. It was too thin to be egg drop, but certainly not hot and sour and it had a square of scrambled egg sitting in the middle of it with a single bamboo chute, one slice of carrot, and a sprinkle of mushrooms on top. I deeply wanted to like this place. The menu looked decent and I don't eat meat, so I tried to get creative with some classics. Sorry to say, I doubt I'll give it another try. The service was fantastic however!

Food is great. I would just expect more than what they served me when I paid close to $12 for an entree. I have been coming here for years and have never seen the portion size this tiny.

When I lived in CU, it was the first place I’d go. Ten years later, it’s still the first place I go when I’m back in town.

Cute little family restaurant serving a variety of Asian cuisines. The atmosphere is a little funky, but the food is always delicious and very affordable.
