One of my favorite places to eat when I'm in Ithaca. The staff is extremely kind and the food is always great. I end up doing takeout from here many times when in town.
Took forever to get seated and then no one took our order. Walked out. Seems to be the norm.
Excellent food, FAST service. Traditional taste, or very close! Thank you!
The owner is always so friendly and the food never disappoints!
best thai food in town!!!
Had a great meal extremely tasty. The host is a native vietnamese who made it very pleasant for us. All the food was very well made and extremely tasty.
Good lunches
Great Thai food and friendly wait staff. The food presentation is very good. Shumai is like homemade. Their wonton is one of our favorites.
Favorite Thai in Ithaca and staff is so nice!
Do not order delivery from here. I ordered, waited ~1.5 hours for my food, finally called to check up on it. Person who answered the phone said they didn’t know where food was and would have to check with the driver who had been gone for ~20 min. Said they can’t do everything perfect when they’re so busy, hung up on me. Called the provided number for billing issues, they said the order was marked as delivered already. They called the restaurant to check up and said they were told the delivery driver never grabbed the order. Really disappointing.

I went there with friends on a Friday night. The quality of the food was very mediocre. My food was unimpressive but my friend said his eggplants smelt bad and that the pork was hard like a wallet. On top of that, there was no seasoning at all. I would have been ok with the food if there was any service. The food took forever. There was only one waitress in the entire restaurant. We sat and waited for 15 minueted just to order the food. When I walked to the register (again, after waiting for around 10 minutes) and told her we need to be somewhere soon and asked for the check, she said no because she was too busy. Still, we all left 20 percent tip because my friend suggested that the waitress was trying her best, but I would not go back there or recommend this place to anyone.
Very delicious and accommodating for allergies. It’s a chill/casual/homey vibe inside the restaurant and great for take out
It’s truly unfortunate that this establishment won’t get a higher rating. Their food is delicious and truly authentic. The issue is the wait time. I recently ordered take out, showed up significantly later than the listed time (because I know they take forever) and the food still wasn’t ready. They have one person taking phone and in person orders and that same person is serving all of the dine-in customers. It would be understandable if this was a rare occurrence, but these extended wait times are a consistent thing. It would be okay if the hostess was up front about how long the food will take, but she gives no indication for how long the wait time will be. I’ve had this happen to me and witnessed it with other customers before as well. It’s amazing food don’t get me wrong, but if you order take out, do yourself a favor and give them at least 20-30 mins after the ready time given. If it’s a holiday, ensure you give at least 45 mins-1hr. I ordered Valentine’s Day at 7:00, showed up at 8:30 and the food still wasn’t ready. If you dine-in, still expect longer than average wait times. I honestly hope they change these practices for the benefit of their customers.
What terrible service. Don't go here on a busy day. We did an online order which was supposed to be ready in 30 mins. 45 mins later they haven't even started cooking it. Hostess was adamant that we cancel the order even when we offered to come back later. But if you don't want to make our food we'll just go somewhere else. 0/10 wouldn't go again.
This place can have really slow service when it is packed, but the food is worth the wait. We loved the spring rolls and chive cakes. I really enjoyed the Chicken Pad Prik Khing as well as the Veggie Green Curry! The Pad Thai unfortunately is a bit too sweet though. The Thai Ice Tea and Taro balls in coconut milk are also really good!
