The best Thai food I’ve had so far!

Absolutely delicious food with incredibly warm customer service. The service was a little slow but only because it was one man working incredibly hard. He was so kind, friendly, and accommodating of our requests!
We got the red curry and drunken noodles with tofu and pad see ew with chicken. We also got a Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea. Everything was great. I especially liked that the drinks were not too sweet. The food was a little less spicy than I’d have expected, but wonderfully aromatic and enjoyable. The tofu in particular is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft, fluffy, and flavorful on the inside.

Like so many other places, I’ve driven past this restaurant many times and actually never took notice to it until a friend told me about it today so we decided to go on a nice hot summer day. I thought it would be the perfect place to relax we actually found parking on the side street, when we walked in, we were immediately greeted by our host and server. Lance immediately sat us down, Lance is an excellent host and a great server and was there every step of the way for us with suggestions,
We decided to go full on vegan, even though my friend is not vegan. She opted in. We ordered the green curry roti, which was amazing. I’ve never had roti bread. This was freshly done to order in the green curry with tofu was a perfect balance of a little sweetness and spicy with tender chunks of tofu in every bite.
The next dish we had was the Massaman curry this is Rich creamy and had a nice peanut flavor to it, we polished off both of these dishes and we’re scraping the bottom to get as much sauce as possible. It was so delicious.
Another appetizer and on the special menu, we ordered the Thai basil ravioli, which is stuffed with tofu, basil, herbs, and served in a red curry sauce. I’ve never had anything like this. The ravioli was absolutely perfect, tender, not rubbery, filled with tofu, basil, and herbs, and the sauce was just so perfect . I would’ve liked to had some more roti bread clean the rest of the plate with.
Main course we had the Khao Soi Vegan
This is a traditional dish made with vegan ingredients, wheat noodles top with crispy fried tofu skin, which I’ve never had before, and it was excellent serve in a coconut curry broth. The tofu chunks were done, perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and a tofu skin almost had a little sweetness to it, and they were tied in Bows, the noodles were done perfectly also for a refreshing beverage we ordered a couple of iced limeade, refreshing on such a hot day
The restaurant itself is very nice and they had a great selection of music in the background very relaxing our server lands again. I couldn’t say enough about what a great guy we will be back eventually this is an absolute five star for me.

Food is great but the portion size is too small. I ordered take out and this is what they gave me for something that’s over $20

We ordered takeout for lunch. The flavor is pretty good, but the portion is small for the noodle dishes, only half of the volume when compared to the curry dish.

We stopped in for dinner and had several signature Thai dishes. The papaya salad was amazing here along with the beef salad. The fried fish and curry was underwhelming though. Tried several other dishes as well. Service was great. Definitely recommend.

I have given this place a few tries and have been disappointed each time.
One time my order took over 2 hours to pick up as I found out one their cooks had quit mid shift. Once the order was finally ready it was completely wrong, but I ate it anyways because I was so hungry.
Next time i went with a group of people and ordered drunken noodles with shrimp, that ended up being very bland with the noodles tasting extremely over cooked, and was charged $30 (not including tip) for that ONE dish, no sides, no drink.
You can go anywhere else and get much better drunken noodles for waaaaay cheaper. Don't go here.

DO NOT EAT HERE, they served us raw chicken and offered a 5% discount as if that made it better that we might have food poisoning…Our server was more than nice nothing to do with her at all. Do not give these people your money they rush to cook your food and leave it 30% done. There is way better Thai options in the City for certain.

Stopped in for a quick snack and was not impressed with the service. We ordered several appetizers to include the vegetable crispy gyoza for the menu price of $10. But when the check came it was $10 PLUS an additional $2 for vegetables! The waitress said that was an issue with their POS system but she didn’t mentioned this to me when giving me the check. I had to say something myself. Furthermore, instead of correcting the bill they applied a $2 discount to the bill but the taxes and ALL the additional credit card fees were calculated based on the incorrect bill! Don’t get me started with these businesses that offer a “discount” to people that pay cash…and an additional surcharge for credit card users. It is BS. Tax evaders
