Fairly good Thai food, not the best curry I’ve ever had, needed more heat. Added more pepper flakes and got better. My Husband’s chicken satay was dry. Need to marinate chicken and not overcook. Portions were nice. Salad and ginger dressing was fresh, but not the best ginger dressing I’ve ever tried.
We absolutely love this place! The food is always amazing, and the service is outstanding every single time. We ordered the gyozas and the chicken Pad Thai, and both were absolutely delicious. One of my favorite things is the beautiful Thai artwork and decor throughout the restaurant—it makes the whole experience feel so special. You can tell they put so much care into every detail. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston, and we always look forward...read full review
