I ordered to go. The chicken yellow curry and nam tok(spicy beef salad). I thoroughly enjoyed my food. Great flavors and the pricing is fair for these dishes. I would definitely go back and make this a routine spot to order take out. I didn't wait long either. Went in, ordered, went for a quick walk to the grocery and came back with my food ready and hot. I went in on a Sunday and it wasn't busy. Highly recommend for take out.

Best Thai food I’ve had! 5 stars. We had one weird experience described below but have had nothing but 4.5-5 star experiences since. I think that is likely due to the boss lady in her signature red lipstick. She is always put together, incredibly kind, efficient, and ensures great service and food quality. When she’s around, the food and service are 4.5-5 stars!!!
I am pretty particular when it comes to flavor palettes and noticing when things get Americanized...
