This is the Frontier airlines of Thai restaurants. Expensive for what you get. First thing when I walked in, the hostess was wearing a big sweatshirt, baggy sweats, and slippers. It was strange. Spring rolls were mostly rice noodles wrapped in rice noodle paper with barely any vegetables. I ordered red curry with beef. The curry itself was okayish, the beef was gummy and slimy. The rice that came with my curry was likely some of the worst rice I’ve ever had at any restaurant. It was dry, suspiciously brown in some spots, and borderline gluey. I stopped eating about halfway through and asked for a to-go box. Burping up what little food I did eat. Three entree’s with tip cost $70…if I could give zero stars I might.

I have been here quite a handful of times now. Their main dish positions are big. I like that they have a "heat" scale of 1 to 5 that they ask you before making your dish. Their appetizers are filling and enough to share. Cons-their satay children is hit or miss. Sometimes it's juicy and all the flavors click and sometimes it tastes old and leaves a sour aftertaste. Also when they pack up your food, if you don't specify to pack the leftover appetizers with your dishes they just throw them out. Otherwise, everyone is nice and the food is worth it to come back!

Went in with a large group of friends and initially was worried that because they have such a large menu that maybe the quality of food would not be so good. I have to say that the 10 of us all ordered something different and all was sampled and shared. Wow the food is fantastic here, I have to say not one dish was disappointing in any way to any of us. To me that is impressive and a testament to the restaurant that all 10 people were impressed. Can't wait to come here again. A Must try place if your in the area.

Lots of bang for your buck here. Sauces very good, Hot and Sour Soup, Tom-Kha, Crazy noodles, Red Curry. You can dial heat up or down on most items, too. Lisa is a composed and sweet server. I would come back just to see her adorable smile. And she shakes a decent martini for $6.95 (Titos) and no, I didn't drop a digit on that price. (What is this? Wisconsin?) ?Pic included of final tab for 2 martinis, 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees.

Dietary restrictions: They have GF items on the menu, but this is not anywhere near "good" Thai food compared to both Thailand proper, nor American Thai restaurants!
When you first walk in you see how nicely decorated the restaurant is. The tables are very sturdy and beautiful and there are plenty of seating options. We received amazing service. We ordered appetizers: 2x pot stickers, and 2x shrimp dumplings and 1x crab rangoon! They were all delicious and perfectly prepared! There was instrumental music playing in the background and a tv with the sound off. They serve all sorts of alcoholic beverages. We were dining with family. My brother and sister in law ordered the #65 Pad Woon Sen (one ordered beef and one ordered chicken) and said they loved it and would order again! My nephew ordered #90 Krystal Chicken, it came with a bowl of white rice. He loved it and had some left over to take home for later! My husband ordered #60 Beef Pad Thai Noodles and said it was filling and delicious! I ordered # 40 Pho Soup with beef and meatballs and it was fresh and delicious! Better than I was expecting! I loved the meat it was the best I have tasted in a long time! When you order your food #1 is not spicy #3 is medium spicy and #5 is the spiciest they offer! So think about what your spice level is while your looking at the menu. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our beverages full and they even have desserts if you can save enough room. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back again! I highly recommend dining here when you want to impress someone and not break the bank!

We had a party of 8 tonight for my brother’s birthday, and although there was a lot of us, they did a great job at accommodating everyone. The food was great, I got the crispy Chicken Pot Stickers with sesame sauce, Tom Yum Soup (or a different variation of it but similar), and a Honey Dew Melon Bubble Tea and there were all so good! I cannot even describe how good the Bubble tea was!! My sister got the Mini Banana Rolls that came with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream with sprinkles. My first time here and it was great, service was awesome
I hope next time the savers trio come in you do not allow their false service dog to sit on a chair like a person.That being said the food is absolutely delicious! Service is always fantastic too. This is my favorite Thai place around. Even my grandma who is very picky left very happy.

First time visiting yesterday and will definitely be back! Food took longer than I would have liked but was worth the wait. I am gluten free and most items they are able to accommodate. Also lots of vegan options as well.
