This place had such a great rating, we had to try it for dinner. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed. We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, the Fried Rice, the Puffs of Gold, and the Sweet Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. We ordered as take out and ate at home. The positive take aways, are that the portions are large, and the Puffs of Gold were good. The rest of the food was very bland, with very little flavor. The service was adequate, as we ordered take out. Most annoying of all, was that everything cost more than shown in pictures and even their own menus. The side of plain fried rice was listed as $6, and I was told it was $12. The full portion was about $18. I ended up paying $80 for the items listed at the top, which was more than expected. If you're going to charge over $20 for Chicken Pad Thai, it better be amazing. I double checked their website, and it looked updated, so don't trust other pictures. I would avoid both of their locations and try something else. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I'm not going to sugar coat anything. Good luck!Parking: Parking is off to the side. Had no problem. Handicap parking available.Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly. Seating was cramped.Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair could NOT fit through either door in my opinion. I didn't measure, but it felt tight to me, and I'm not handicapped. There was a single door for entry, and a separate single door for exit. No stairs though.

Ridiculously overpriced for average at best food. The Phad Thai was nothing to right home about. I can make a much better Phad Thai for about $3 rather than the $20 they charge. No eggs, hot pepper or crushed peanuts. Very bland. We won't be back.

Nice relaxing meal, great flavors, excellent service and not too long for the meals to be served good and hot. The three flavor grouper was very delicious and the fish cooked perfectly, not greasy but moist flesh and crispy batter.

Wonderful treat on Main Street. A real surprise to find such food Thai food on Hilton Head. The Thai beer is a must to try.

Had four different dishes here from mango shrimp to pad Thai to red curry. And they're all really tasty. We asked for them to make one of the dishes, not spicy and according to someone who's pretty picky about spice it was perfect. I ordered medium spicy and it is indeed still pretty spicy. Service is excellent and everything from the soup to the spring rolls are fresh.

The combination appetizer had a good selection and enough for four of us to share, but nothing stood out as remarkable. Nothing was bad. It was all just ok. The steamed mussel appetizer was really good with plump, delicious mussels in a broth that was outstanding. The hot and sour soup was good but had too much chicken in it for our dinner companions taste, and he said next time he would just order it without any meat at all. Generous portions without being too much.

Not a lot of vegetarians options in the appetizers and soups. All but one soup had chicken stock.Service was terrible! Order was messed up twice and consequently we were brought the wrong bill. Not once did the waitress apologize. We were a table of 5, and each of us ordered just one entrée. Mandatory 20% gratuity was added - completely undeserving in this case!

Such a nice atmosphere and pleasant surroundings! First time visit not our last. I will make this a part of our itinerary each time we visit Hilton Head. Anna was a very nice waitress and she makes these amazing straw top flowers! am so glad I got a chance to get one of my very own. The food was fresh and delicious. My husband got the fried duck which we usually get at the restaurant in Savannah but he said it was so good! Down to the bone as usual. Nothing left on his plate. I got my usual red curry chicken with black rice. In Savannah there's not an upcharge but here it was an additional $2.50 More to get the black rice. But it was fresh and delicious. Disappointed they do not have a salad with their entrees. Only a spring roll or TomTom soup. And surprisingly the water was good. The outside sitting area was so relaxing but I found out this a little too late on my way out! Next time we will sit outside and enjoy the beautiful plants. The beautiful waterfall display adds a relaxing feel to an amazing seating area.Vegetarian options: You can't admit the meat from any menu item and it would be totally satisfying because the sauce is amazing!Dietary restrictions: Just request your dietary needs with your waitressParking: Lots of parking spaces and handicap accessible right at the doorWheelchair accessibility: Easy parking for handicap and outdoor seating is big enough for wheelchair and walker

Tasty Thai food, great for takeout! We got cashew tofu and basil tofu and they were both delicious. The tofu was perfectly cooked. The spring rolls come in orders of 3 rolls, for the price it should be 4. They were good though, would get them again. We ordered over the phone and it was ready for pickup quickly. We will definitely get takeout again for next year's beach trip!

Great service and delicious food. I called in an order at 830p (closed at 9) and they didn't hesitate to take the order. The Pad Thai with Tofu was delicious and hit the spot

Food is mediocre. Service was terrible. We never got a welcome. We felt we were imposing on them to serve us. Never again
