I'm editing my review because we decided to try this place again. This time the food was fantastic! The flavor and spice levels were really good. The Dragon Noodles was my favorite so far. I would definitely come back.

Consistently good food for many years now.
Only feedback is try ti check in on your seating customer's at least once during their dining. I had to reach out each time I needed something

TLDR - Great food, service, and vibes. My wife says the portions are just right. It's not too much and not too little.
Drunken Noodles dish was chewy and delicious. Just the right amount of spice.
Pad Khing Sod was delicious. Good counter to the spicy dish.
Food came out quick during an early lunch time.
The parking is rough but doesn't take away from the experience. Should find public parking...
