We came here after searching for a Thai place nearby. This place is super hip and seems like a good time. We ordered a different array of items including chicken wings, chicken satay, beef skewers, Tom yum soup, papaya salad, pad thai, pad see ew, and more! Everything came out pretty quickly and it was super delicious and hearty. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who’s searching for some authentic and yummy Thai food!
