This was my FIRST time trying Thai food and I am so happy this was the restaurant I picked for my first experience. Everything was incredible and I’m honestly upset that I’ve been missing out for so long !
The Pad Thai was hot and tasted so good ! Never had anything like it! The crab ran-goons were also so good perfect amount of filling and even the sauce that they come with was so good! Thank you so much for such an amazing meal! I will be ordering again in the future!

This is 100% the best Thai food in Grand Rapids and it’s not even close. I’ve had my fair share of Thai food throughout Michigan and this is the only place that gets the flavors correct. We don’t go to any other place.

Our server was attentive and prompt. The Thai Tea and Thai Coffee were both good, and coconut milk was an option for dairy sensitive people like myself. The food came out very quickly, the portions were generous and the flavor was so good! Fresh bean sprouts, lime, green onions, and crushed peanuts garnished the Pad Thai and there was lots of flavor from the noodles and sauce. The Rainbow Paradise was a tasty dish too and had more of a tropical vibe with pineapple & mango....
