Ordered take out chicken pad Thai extra spicy. There was no flavor and it was dry it tasted like just the noodles and the only flavor was from the onions. Really disappointing.

Honestly, food was not good, if looking for authentic asian, this is not the place! I got a selection of 5 appetizers and an entrée. The dumplings were freezerburnt, and couldnt eat them, Thai T roll was bland, fried peanut tofu was dry tofu with crushed peanuts. The curry entrée was sent back after the first bite, veggies were raw and not even warm.

My wife and I always stop for dinner or lunch here before seeing movies at the Amherst Cinema. We love it! Their shiitake mushroom soup is unbelievably delicious, and anything they have with kimchi is a delight. From their tea rolls, to their bipim rice dish, with a Thai tea, or iced mint tea is just so good. There is outdoor seating in the warmer months, and it’s a cozy place to have a warm meal in the winter. Even though we live in Springfield we still drive out just to get their food.

Bright was our server. Very attentive, polite and friendly. We had the Coconut Curry Rice, Chili Rice, and the 5 Spice Beef rice, plus an order of the spring rolls. All excellent, flavorful, fresh tasting food. Loved our friendly server. Plus we had a slice of the Tiramisu cake (delicious). Excellent meal. This place was recommended by the excellent local artist Sean Greene. We took my 94 year old mom here for her birthday lunch. She loved it. Thank you Sean for the suggestion. #great

Was a great price and the perfect size for a quick meal, and great vegan options!!. T-rolls were also super good last time. Staff were super friendly and attentive, will definitely be coming back to try more from the lunch menu :)

Great outdoor seating! Really good currys, a lot of vegan and gluten-free options, and the tea rolls are fantastic. Especially the Vietnamese and Thai rolls for the summer. Lovely service.
