Read the online reviews and decided to give this place a try. It was very good. We liked everything we ordered- mango sticky rice, blue elephant matchsticks, fried egg rice, orange chicken, chicken satay. We ordered lots to try different dishes. Picky eaters were happy too. Not a lot of seating, but nice interior. Front door let's the cold air inside, keep your jacket handy. Friendly and competent staff, food was delivered quickly for made-to-order.
Good food. Really liked the Kra Pow Basil stir fry with pork--that was unique from anything I'd had before. Curries and appetizers were also top notch. Great value on the food. Decor was standard restaurant vibe, nothing special, but clean and neat--expected at this price point. Service was attentive and they were able to tailor spiciness.
Would like to see the blue rice make a comeback, as that was a nice treat.

My husband and I ordered Hoi Jor, Tom Yum, Thai Salad, Pad See Ew, and Street Fried Rice. My personal favorite is the Hoi Jor. Crunchy, flavorful, and it was a match made in heaven with the sauce. The Tom Yum for whatever reason is more similar to Indonesian Sayur Asam (I am Indonesian), which is pleasant but still surprising. My husband loved all of the orders as well. 10/10 will come back.
