My expectations were high here. I called on a Wednesday at 6:00. I ordered the sampler & Chicken Eggplant entree w white rice. My ETA was ALMOST 2 HOURS LATER....i was told pickup @ 7:40 !!!!

We've had Thai food all over the United States, this place is up there as one of ours favorites. Simple menu, that allows all dishes to be very well done. You have to be on your redial game to get your order in but worth the effort.
