Another one of my favorite spots! It’s not your typical Thai food—it’s uniquely authentic with an interesting and delicious menu. I absolutely love this place! The only downside is that it’s a bit small, so there can be a wait during dinner time.

Went to this place last year and we were not impressed. Dishes we ordered were subpar for the price, we won't be returning.

What started as a promising dining experience at a cozy, intimate restaurant quickly turned sour due to the lackluster service from the server. With a total of 11 adults seated across three tables in this small establishment, the stage was set for the server to provide attentive, personalized attention. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The server seemed distracted and disengaged, often hiding behind the counter and disappearing from view when we want to request something. In a space as compact as this restaurant, it was bewildering that the server could not maintain a consistent presence and visibility throughout the meal.
As the dinner progressed, the issues only compounded. The food was enjoyable, but the server's absence made it difficult for the diners to order additional items, such as dessert. By the time the meal was wrapping up, we even tried to arrange for a group photo, only to be met with an expression from the server that made it clear she was eager for the party to depart. Ultimately, we (6 adults) spent a sizable $240 on the dinner, but the lack of attentive, hospitable service left a sour taste that eclipsed the positive aspects of the dining experience. I would not be returning to this establishment, as the subpar customer service overshadowed any merits the restaurant may have otherwise possessed.

Came here for dinner. The tom zabb soup was fine, the beef noodles soup was a bit too salty. The Hug Esan Papaya salad… not sure if it’s just the style (with Tum Plara) but we didn’t really like it, the pork jerky was rather tough and the I didn’t enjoy the texture of the sour pork sausage. The pork rinds weren’t crispy either. The Gai Yang with sticky rice was just very regular and nothing exciting. Probably just the mango sticky rice at the end was the only one that did not disappoint. Honestly a little sad as we looked forward to the meal.

Honestly, honestly, the worst Thai food that I have ever had. The fish is not fresh. It’s frozen. Everything is too sweet. I’m so disappointed. I couldn’t believe this is the Thai restaurant that I my Thai friend recommended

Grabbed takeout from here. Overall, pretty solid for what we ordered. We grabbed the nam khao tod, which was my favorite of the few dishes we got. Also got the tom zabb and neur nam tok, both of which were good. Recommend ordering it with some spice (at least mild) to get the most out of it. Good amount of food.
This place used to be my favorite but the food is not stable. Sometimes is salty , sometimes is too spicy. Their papaya salad with Thai anchovies is very salty and smell sometimes

Great food! Get the Nam Khao Todd. Great service. Sat night waitress was super nice. Small place and cash only. Very authentic Thai Isaan food. Wonderful combo of flavors.

First time trying Esan food and knew it was tasty but the dishes were very flavorful, and I appreciated how they spent time to teach how to eat the different dishes and constantly replenished my water.
