I’m a first timer here and absolutely loved my dinner experience tonight. Such a lovely staff who clearly has a great deal of pride in the food, from guidance offered while ordering to the beautiful presentation to checking in frequently that we were happy with everything.
The inside seating here is beautiful, especially the interesting architectural ceiling, but if it’s summer go for the outdoor patio. It’s really lovely. The menu is lengthy and clearly labeled with gluten-free, vegetarian and spice level options. No guesswork which is really nice.
We were quickly brought our drinks and appetizer. We went for the beautiful and fresh summer roll, which is both GF and vegetarian. My friend ordered the Thai iced tea which I am also partial too, so I decided to try something different. Torn between purple lemonade and lemongrass blue tea, both of which included butterfly pea flower, our server advised that the lemonade was sweeter and the tea would give me the option to adjust the sweetness level myself. It was a delicious choice even without any sweetener, though I did opt to add some honey from the variety of sweeteners they brought.
For our entrées, my friend got the duck curry, which had the interesting addition of pineapple, and I got a stirfry with eggplant and tofu. Both included white rice on the side. We both enjoyed our dishes. My friend ate her full dish, which was a good amount of food but reasonable as much of it was the broth. My stirfry veggies and tofu were abundant and filling with very little broth, and I ended up bringing about half home.
We really wanted to try some dessert and we couldn’t decide between the mango sticky rice and the coconut ice cream special, so of course we got both. The mango sticky rice was good, a nice taste and texture. But the coconut ice cream also had sticky rice underneath which made the mango dessert a bit redundant. If you’re going to go for one, I would recommend the ice cream which is really delicious and not always available.
We had a wonderful meal here and I was excited to be introduced to such a lovely local Thai restaurant.

I’ve tried a few dishes here, and every single one has been great. The restaurant itself is spotless, and the food mirrors that same freshness. The flavors are vibrant and well-balanced, not drowned in heavy sauces, but thoughtfully prepared so you can actually taste the individual ingredients. Everything feels light yet satisfying, like the chef wants you to enjoy the food itself, not just the sauce it’s swimming in. If you’re into Thai that’s flavorful without being greasy or overdone, this place nails it.

The curry that I ordered was well proportioned and delicious. The service was efficient, with whomever was free serving the food for our group of five. The flair in the decor blended in nicely with the atmosphere of a converted home.

This was my first visit here. I came with a friend who has been here several times.
Jules, our server was amazing. She provided excellent service without hovering or making us feel rushed She took time to explain the dishes that we were considering.
I ordered the Prik Poa with chicken. Honestly it was probably the best dish I've ever had. The sauce at medium spice level was the perfect balance of sweet/heat.
The crab Rangoon appetizer was cooked to perfection and the balance of rich creamy crab filling was balanced perfectly with the deep fried Rangoon.
The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable.
I'll definitely be back.

The hung lay is so delicious - rich, aromatic, savory, comforting. Thai restaurants where I live don't offer this dish, so I jumped at the opportunity to try it. Definitely worth ordering!
Amazing food. The duck curry was so good!

This place was excellent!! A lot of great options and I can't wait to go back and try other things. Great service and she was very sensitive to my food allergy...but also was not able to order any appetizers because of cross contamination. Parking can be challenging.
