Tastes great with decent pricing. The ambiance is nice and cozy and the staff is courteous and helpful.EDIT: Just wanted to add that the vegetarian duck is fantastic at this place! I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a vegetarian or vegan friendly protein!2nd EDIT: Quality of the food has diminished. Wouldn’t recommend anymore.

I thought it was excellent authentic Thai food with good portion sizes. The ton yum soup was great and apparently they make the flat noodles for the drunken noodle in house.

Wonderful restaurant. Unprepossessing exterior, modest decor, fantastic food. Really, the food was delicious and everything was fresh. We had the pad thai with chicken, the red curry with shrimp, and curry puffs to start. The service was wonderful as well- our waiter was so polite. My friend had never had thai food and I am so glad she went here the first time because she now loves it!

We love Thai food and have been looking for a local place to try. It's close by (I live in Clifton), and the atmosphere was inviting. We ordered the drunken noodles, beef, chicken and shrimp. It was all delicious, but I loved the beef. We loved it so much that we order out whenever we can't dine in.

I hate to share this place with more people cuz it’s a small restaurant and I don’t want it to get packed…. but I have to be honest and say it’s the best Thai food I’ve had in years!!! I can no longer go anywhere else and will drive 30 min to eat here. Thanks a lot, Sawa. lol. The portions were huge! Everything we ordered was so steaming hot and delicious. The pad Thai was not too sweet, the drunken noodle was just the right amount of spicy (medium) and the roti was soooo good. The service was realllly great (sweet/cute Asian waitress).We ordered these and they were A+++Roti curry chickenMassaman curryPineapple fried riceDrunken noodlePad Thai

The place was busy when I entered the establishment.I ordered online eight lunch specials. Unfortunately, I had to wait a long time for the order. However, what made it up to me was the fact that the lady acknowledged my long wait time (1 hr and 7 mins) and provided to me a complimentary Thai ice tea with an apology.The $11.95 lunch specials were unexpectedly really delicious and hit the spot. The complimentary Tom yum soup was also spicy delish.I would recommend this place. They are not as busy at 3 pm (so perhaps do your ordering at that time), but do remember that they close at 3:30 pm for mid break.Vegetarian options: Just say no meat and it's vegetarian

Delicious food!To be honest, I wasn't expecting much considering the area. But I decided to try nonetheless based on all the great reviews. And this restaurant is truly deserving of all the positive ratings and reviews.The only negative is the potential wait time. We waited for over an hour because it was so busy. We did go during lunch time when they opened so this could be why. There only seems to be 1 cook and 1 front desk/waiter. They were so busy they didn't even pick up any phone calls while I was there.But they were very friendly and apologetic about the long wait.Definitely try this restaurant if you're a fan of Thai food!

Tom Yum creamy broth with chicken and medium spice is to die for. Tom Yum fried rice is perfect pairing. Shrimp rolls are worth the visit on their own. Our Server was a very nice young man, who knows how to serve.On previous visits, we have also had the Pad Thai which is also great.Looking forward to trying other menu items on our next visit!Ang & Steve C.

Curry puffs were good. The pad Thai is delicious !! I requested a modification with wide flat noodles and it took the dish to the next level. Seafood red curry had fantastic deep flavors.Service was exceptional. Our server, Beckham, was prompt, professional and attentive.Officially my go-to thai spot!

Absolutely fantastic Thai food right in Clifton. I have eaten here numerous times, and each time has been wonderful. Our young waiter was top notch, he was pleasant, speedy, and cared about our satisfaction.My favorite is their Pad Thai with shrimp, but really it's all great. Definitely dine here!

Just when I thought I had the best I found this gem and now stand corrected! The food and service is AMAZING! While waiting the waitress gave complimentary soup that was DELICIOUS!!! The tofu fried rice was so flavorful and plentiful. The spring rolls tasted fresh and homemade not that frozen garbage some Thai places have. This place is definitely worth a try!
