This is one of the worst thai food to have. Not at all authentic. We ordered Drunken Noodles and it tasted extra caramelized brunt sweet tofu, hardly any noodles and just mushrooms. Second dish red curry was so thin tasteless. Rice dry out and felt like microwaved. 3rd dish Pappaya salad tasted weird, from fridge, raw green beans. It didn't tasted fresh. On top of it waiter and chef both were so stubborn and rude, arguing the whole time. I will not recommend this restaurant for take away or dinning. Because you don't know the quality of food that is served and worst overall experience. Thats on weekend also you will not find any rush in the restaurant, feels like hardly people come here.

curry came with 4 pieces of shrimp, not 8, not 6 but 4. like cmon, $18+ curry came with 4. dont need to say anymore
Went for dinner and arrived with 4 or so tables also seated. The decor and food was decent but the service is extremely lacking. While we were waiting, I noticed that tables were receiving their food one plate at a time. People would finish their meal before the next person got theirs. We waited 40 minutes for our appetizer and when I asked if we could cancel the rest of our meal, the waitress rudely asked if we were in a rush. We got our food 10 minutes later and it was good, not great. It was definitely not worth the hour or so we had to wait for it. It was a slow weekday night and no reason why it should have taken as long as it did. The table next to us was also shocked at how slow things moved.

The food is so good! Unfortunately the waitress that’s always there has always had a smirky attitude with us that’s very unwelcoming (especially with my kids) and unpleasant. So after two dine in experiences with her, we are now going somewhere else.

I've eaten here 3 times and love the food. The pad thai and coconut cake are especially good. Will continue to eat here!

One of the best Thai restaurants in the Raleigh Durham area we have had. My husband tried the pad see ew and I had the basil fried rice, both were so good! We have been on the hunt for a great Thai place since moving from AZ, and we have found our new Thai spot!

I'm a Thai food lover and had a taste for some dinner. The area was nice and the restaurant was casually comfortable.
A Thai curry is my first test of a restaurant. If you can't do this well, all else is questionable. The green curry here was just ok. There's a limit to the heat level they will prepare, but they will give you additional spice to add yourself. There were very few vegetables in the curry, nor much taste of keffir lime, which was a bit bland.
The dumplings were a bit greasy and not something I would order again. My daughter had the basil catfish (pad prik catfish), which was actually pretty good. The catfish was fried really well, but needed to add more seasoning for some actual spiciness.
I may return for the fish dish, but the curry and other dish leaves much to be desired.

We we the 2nd group of people there but since there were 7 of us, they served every single person that arrived after us. It took 2 hrs to get our food. We we not allowed to order separately either. Or give more than 4 credit cards. We got 2 slices of cake free to compensate. They were out of some 1st choice meals ☹

Arrive 2 hours before you're hungry. Food should arrive in an hour and a half (when your appetite arrives). But your food will be burnt... my friend's was. My meal, which I chose based off the ingredients, arrived full of the one ingredient I needed to avoid (due to an allergy). When I told the hostess it wasn't on the menu and the cooks need to know, I was told, "I just work here." We had to get our own drinks refilled (guess we work there too). However it didn't take another 90 minutes to make my food correct and it was actually pretty good (cuz it wasn't burnt).

Arrived 7:15. Fast service and got orders in at 7:20. Appetizer out at 7:45. Main out at 8:10. 50 minutes is a long wait.
Chicken wings 3/10. Small and obviously frozen, both dry and tough. Not much spice and sauce was sweet without much other flavor.
Thai teas 5/10. Very pale color with not much black tea flavor. Cup full of ice so only 5 big sips of tea to finish.
Pad thai 8/10. Very good flavor thai hot was perfect for someone who likes spice. Only complaint is green onions were chopped to be an inch long so any bite with one just taste like onion. Very weird never had it done like this before.
Chefs special fried fish 6/10. Battered fish was floured without any spice, side salad was small but good. The sizing of vegetables in the salad were inconsistent and too large.
Total meal was $60 for these orders. Don't feel as if this was worth the price. My advice is to just get a main and not appetizers or drinks. Would be a 4 star if I'd just had a pad thai but everything else was disappointing.

Came here with a friend to try the food and it was amazing. We got the sriracha chicken wing, chicken satay and curry chicken ramen. I loved the Curry Ramen, super flavorful and it came with big pieces of chicken. The atmosphere, ambiance and service were great as well. My water cup was always filled. They have outdoor and indoor seatings available. I would definitely come back when I’m in the area.
