Traveling through and man will I tell you. This place is great. Super cool vibe when you walk in, everyone super friendly and man. Takeout portions are a hit or miss sometimes. If you get curry sometimes the sauce to meat ratio is out of wack. Here… it was perfect. Great portions on the curry and pad Thai. The spring rolls were great. Spice level is solid. I got the red curry hot. And for me, it’s perfect. And they have this hot sauce that they threw in the bag. Idk what it...
Exactly what you want when you go for Thai. I can’t speak to actual authenticity as I don’t really know, but it was fantastic. The Tom Yum was killer!
You feel like you are at a friends home, not a restaurant, in the best way.

The pad thai is really good but other dishes we ordered were just okay. The Panang curry was sweet and watered down. My Chicken Pad Pra Kao was not minced and was dry. No spice to it, The chicken satay was not on skewers but served over rice with zucchini and yellow squash. The peanut sauce was served in the tiniest bowl, barely enough. We have been to Bangkok, Hatyai and Pattaya in Thailand and the food good but not fantastic nor 100% authentic. There are 3 other Thai restaurants...
