I was in the area and wanted to try something oriental dish. So i tried this place. Nice food and delicious. They have plenty of options in their menu. The place look like its kinda old. The service is also great. Its fast. The dumplings was heated in the microwave. Because the inside was cold while the outside was hot.

Do yourself a favor and go here immediately! If I could leave 6 stars I would. This place is a hidden gem. The tum yum soup is to die for, egg rolls are great, Pad Thai is awesome!

Great spot for lunch. Adding the spicy level of hotness definitely packs a punch! The mango sticky rice was also really good and worth a try if you've never had it before.

I arrived when there was a lunch special available. I upgraded their panang (rice dish) to beef at an extra fee. A single fried vegetable egg roll and a small cup of tom yum soup are included in the lunch special. Although the soup appears thin, its flavor is still present and not overbearing because it wasn't very sour. The scent of spices and lemongrass are pleasant. The egg roll was nicely crispy. The veggie filling has a flavorful seasoning. It has carrots, onions, and cabbage. Along with it was a side of sour and sweet sauce to dip. The panang was appealing served with rice. The deep orange color of the red curry gravy is enhanced by the bright red hue of the bell pepper and a hint of earthy green basil. The texture of the red curry is thick and velvety, unlike anything I had imagined. The flavor's complexity left my taste buds wanting more; it was savory, creamy, spicy, and sweet.I liked it so much that I ate it all, but the portion was modest, and I was still hungry, so I got their appetizer, chicken wings, afterwards. There were six pieces. It contains a pleasing balance of flats and drums. It will undoubtedly be filling due to its large size. Due to the wings' heavy coating of chili sauce, the outside lost its crispy quality. Don't be misled by the chili flakes; the Thai chili sauce is more sweet than fiery. It's actually rather moderate. The meat was not done enough. When I confronted the staff and discovered that the flesh was still red and bleeding, they apologized and sent the wings back to the kitchen to be cooked again. I couldn't be angry because the staff informed me before I placed my order that the wings would take longer because of the process, so I was frustrated that I had to wait a long time for them and that they had to be sent back at the same time.I had their Khao Tom Mud for dessert; it's a simple but tasty dish made of sticky rice with a fresh banana filling and wrapped in a banana leaves. The sticky rice was fragile and gooey at the same time. The banana filling was tender; it also had an undertone of sweetness. The texture of the bean is somewhat solid. The flavor truly hit the spot, and it has a very nostalgic taste that makes me think of something my mom used to give me when I was younger. If they have added coconut milk, it will be excellent.It was a nice lunch, the food was good, there was some troubleshooting, but it was resolved, and I would most certainly return.

Right from the begining everyone is super friendly. What I love most is that they bring you a little appetizer for FREE. A little soup and small eggroll. Both are delicious also. And in general the food is really good too. I have tried the pad tai and drunken noodles. I would go back for both.

New owners can’t tell time. Shows closing at 8pm. Stopped at 745pm to order takeout. Doors locked. Called. They said we’re closed. Bye. And hung up.

So P.T. is a nice little shop with basic service. Only two servers during peak lunch times can make quick stops frustrating but if you can wait it's good. Main food items are good and quantity is enough for a lunch time special. Water is from the tap and not so good. So; you may elect to have something else. Come products. Smoothies are ok, but again, due to only two servers, comes out a little late. (But the mango smoothie tasted good) fair value for amount off food and overall quality.

8/10/2023Came by tonight for dinner. Ambiance = ACute mom and pop restaurant in a strip mall. It can seat around 30 diners. The place is clean, and simple, with a wall decorated with Thai art and a lot of gold colors. Very calm, very chill. Music is not overpowering either. Perfect for dining. Check out their chalkboard with specials written on them! The dessert list looked so good, we were persuaded to get two desserts!Food = ADelicious, well-seasoned, good portions for the price, and arrived at our table hot and fresh after an acceptable wait time (10 mins or so). We ordered edamame, chicken pad see eew, chicken stir fried vegetables (comes with a small cup of rice), coconut boba shake, and mango sticky rice for dessert. All dishes were delicious. Service = AFriendly, non-intrusive. Highly recommended. We will come back and try other dishes!

Love the Basil Fried Rice with Shrimp. The best! They will customize it any way you desire. Very friendly and clean restaurant. I visit at least twice a week minimal and order the same dish, I customized it to my taste, e.g. adding green and red peppers, green onions, and extra shrimp. At extra cost, of course. They spoil me! I love Pad Thai, and highly recommend it! Try it, their food is delicious.You won't be disappointed. Thank you!

Disappointed in the service as multiple tables who ordered after ours received their food and bill before the host told they haven’t entered our order yet. Perhaps having more than one waiter/waitress during lunch hours would benefit this place. I don’t even remember if the food was good or not

We ordered for pick up, usually food is great, not this time ! Chicken skewers were dry and hard, peanut sauce very dark, pad Thai dark and salty very disappointing !
