I am sad to give a negative review for this restaurant. It was my favorite restaurant. I went there two or three times a week for many years. But after they moved, they raised their prices by quite a bit and I just found out that they no longer serve the small portion of one of my favorite dishes for dinner. I think they have become quite greedy. Also none of my friends who used to work there work there anymore. I used to know everybody who worked there. But now it’s all new people. Not that they are not nice. It’s just strange that the other ones left. It’s very sad. I loved this place. :(
This is such an excellent spot. I really appreciate having such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant, with lovely staff and excellent, quick food.
But I wish they would bring back the non-fried poh piah! What a fantastic and healthy dish.

Stopped in for a quick bite at lunch in their new location a little further down on Mount Auburn Street. It is so beautiful inside, they are so nice and the food was really fresh and very good. I will definitely be back to try some new items ! I had the Pad See Ew and the crispy vegetable spring rolls (and ginger tea)... all were delicious! Can't wait to enjoy my leftovers.
Vegetarian options: Most things on the menu such as the noodles can be made vegetarian - they allow you to add different items if you want to add tofu, vegetables or shrimp if you eat fish. Also plenty of delicious soups and salads that work for a vegetarian!
Parking: Mount Auburn is a main street there are some metered paid parking through an app or using quarters only. free on Sundays and holidays, and you will also be able to find free parking . on a busy weekend it might be harder. I was there Sat afternoon. I drove around for a bit and found a spot right out front after a few moments. Definitely worth finding parking for!

Small portions that taste like soap was added. My food came out wrong and the manager accused me of lying saying I never asked for no egg! He wasn’t even the one to take my order! We won’t be back.

This place has been so inconsistent.
Most recent visit was enough to be the last straw.
Customizations like spice level and substituting sauces goes unnoticed.
I don’t know what the ingredients are that goes into making their curries and rice dishes, but it’s enough to make you queasy.
Whether it’s an overkill of fish sauce, MSG, low-grade oils. Whatever the case may be, there’s something That doesn’t suit the digestion.
I’m not paying $70.00+ dollars for a dinner for two, Only to be sick and on the toilet at the end of the night.

The overall experience at this Thai restaurant was quite good. While it wasn't extraordinary, it didn't disappoint either. The baby corn appetizer was very tasty, and the stir-fried noodles were also well done. The prices are reasonable, making it a place worth trying.

Not even one star. I am never ever going to that restaurant again. I ordered food for me and my daughter and it tasted like there was some chemically substance in it, almost like a dish washing liquid. I called them and told them the issue, they refused to refund me the $12.00. Terrible, nasty customer service. Such a bad experience. I absolutely do not recommend that restaurant. The food is dirty, unhealthy and full of chemicals plus the customer service is super so bad.
