It's okay. We had Pad Thai chicken and peanut curry chicken. Vegetable egg rolls. The fried rice was different from what I'm used to.

1.The dishes is very small for the price2. The waitress is kind of lazy. We have to separate the plates and paper on our own.3. The food is not very fresh and taste not very good either

Awesome food. Never was a Thai fan, but now I am. Been there twice now. A little pricier than I think is warranted now, though.- Pho Pia Tod: Simple light and fluffy appetizer to get you through the wait to the main dishes.- Gyo Tod (Crab Cheese): Sweet and crispy with a creamy center.- Goong Tod (Breaded Shrimp): A hearty texture, but very savory bite of delight.- Kai Satay (Chicken Skewers): A personal favorite of what I sampled. Just simple chicken cooked with a light spice that was well complimented with the peanut butter sause.- Kai Tod (Chicken Wings): Right off the bone with some uniquely almost Cajun flavor.- Tom Yum Num Kon: Good with a spice level of 5 (had it a second time, it was that good). The bamboo and wood (DON'T EAT IT) adds an outdoor flavor.- Kao Pad (Thai Fried Rice): If I frequented this restaurant, I'd probably get this! A wonderful balanced blend of spice (6 out of 10) with a selection of tender chicken morsels and it satisfies the appetite leaving you full!It was Tuesday when I visited and there was not a lot of staff which complicated wait times. We were early and fine, but I saw a couple people waiting later. Food and service was awesome, though!Parking: Shared parking lot.

Great food. Everything we had was delicious. Be patient with the service, they do great just under staffed... plus it's worth it.

First, I am from the culinary capital of the US...L.A.. I have a favorite Thai restaurant that I have eaten at for 30 years and just about everywhere I travel. The ambiance is typical for Thai restaurants. We're there for the food, not plush surroundings. If that's what you're looking for, go to Leo's. I got my three go to's to sample. The pad Thai was perfect, but would have liked some fresh bean sprouts. The beef panang was passable. The beef is the typical sliced brisket. At least it's tender and quite good. The Tom Yum Num Kon was wonderful, but I am used to small button mushrooms and not regular sliced mushrooms that take up half of the container. The point is the soup. And it was great! As for heat, I found it to be right on. The soup/3, the Beef Panang/5, and Pad Thai/5. I say go for what you can stand. The staff is quite welcoming and I had a great conversation while waiting for my food. Perfect Thai iced tea also. I actually make this and it was equivalent to mine.

I like the Pad Thai from here. They give you a large quantity for a good price. Only thing is I ordered spice level 5 and it was spicy. So go for a 3 or 2.

Best Thai I've found in the Greater Grand Rapids area. I avoid everything downtown and drive 20 minutes out of my way to Kentwood, because I know of no other location that will continuously leave me smiling after I've finished by dish!

Been going to this place since 2012 has always been good. Now that the original ow er has sold it has continued to decline. Now they won't even sell iced tea which they use to make Thai tea. I will never go back and recommend that others stay away. Guess old customers don't matter anymore to her. If it continues to de line and she treats loyal customers poorly won't last long. I used to refer this place to everyone. Stopped, and now I know why. Waitress was rude to me from the time I stepped foot I n door.

Fresh spring rolls are great! I always get the peanut curry with rice noodles! Never disappointed in the food. The Fried spring rolls are also good. Not a bad price for grub either and always ready within 10/15 minutes.
