LOVE HEALS

Great food. Great intimate and quiet atmosphere. Great location. Service was great, greeted upon arrival, patient when answering some questions. Very responsive as I texted prior to actually visiting the location to make sure I went to right location. Ordered the shrimp fried rice with 1/2 teaspoon of spice and it was fiya! Right amount of heat, flavor filled and shrimp cooked with the right texture. I ordered the imitation crab wontons, the presentation of these was beautiful. The imitation crab can be a hit or miss for people who like it. Sometimes the warm imitation crab is not as great as the cold imitation crab. I will be brave next time and try the fish meatball wontons. I inquired about the fish and it redfish Bree. Never heard of it so was scared but maybe next time. Definitely will return. Great food. Great service and great atmosphere. ♥️They are really feasible. Appetizer, specialty drink (lemonade with fixings) and entree was about $35 with tip.

Went here a few times for lunch break. The first two times, showed up early and my party were the only ones there. The ordering process makes me feel old but is efficient -Scan QR code, throw what you want from the menu on the tab and they start cooking with the option to keep adding as needed. Service was always quick and the food was pretty good. The tender, smoky, pork belly of the simple Pad Kana dish hit me with feelings of being in an outdoor market in Thailand having food fresh off a fire grill(I never say stuff like this about food and never even been to Thailand🤣)!!! The vibe of the restaurant is that of a nice modern lounge. The owner and family that runs the restaurant are from Chiangmai, Thailand(real Hmong Thai) so you can bet they know their Northern Thai flavors. Neat spot!

I usually go there to dine in but tonight, July 29th I got my usual (Khao kha moo) to go and requested them to give me some extra of that yummy 5 spice stew sauce on the side, and they came thru!!!! Love it! Thank yall so much! I did tip a little but I love that they are generous with it and helped with the special request. Will always be a supporter. Stay authentic yall!

You can’t go wrong. The food is incredible and you can customize your spice. I am always looking forward to the next time I get to try something from their menu.

Yum. New dishes, new flavors, friendly staff. We'll be back. Nearly all of the items on the menu have meat though.

I ordered a beef boat noodle and taste it really bad and smell is bloody. If you’re are sensitive of the smell don’t order it then. The service are really bad too.

Great food, but greeting and assigning seats could be better. Came in, was given a table number and then some other guest came in after and sat in that table. But in the defense of those guests, there’s no sign or person to let them know either. Unusual setup but otherwise staff did help clear that up so A+ for their assistance. Parking be terrible as there’s very few spots and finding the building can be confusing as there’s no outside sign but google map does pin the only building so take that leap of faith.
