We used like to come here. Today we ordered fried calamari and crispy duck. The calamari dish was ok, although there was too much of batter. But the crispy duck should be called crispy fried batter. There was no duck at all in some fried batter clumps, and very little or just traces of duck meat in others. Having fried batter for $23 is too much.

Their food was great. But I think they were a bit too sweet for Thais.

Not worth it! We went as a group and got a number of dishes to share family style. Servings were small, and taste was mediocre.

I was led to believe this place would be good and I love Thai food; however, I was very disappointed. The flavors were completely lacking and nothing was reminiscent of Thai food. We started off with fresh summer rolls (one of my wife’s favorites) and basically got a rolled up salad. Yes, I know what summer rolls are but these had zero flavor. The dipping sauce was basically peanut butter in a bowl, and had no flavor. Even the angle they were cut made them difficult to eat. Laughingly, the menu showed beef massaman curry as a “must try”, but I would have to pass if I ever went back (I won’t). My wife ordered the crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli and, like my dish, did not care for it. Probably the one positive was my lemonade wasn’t too bad. Service could improve as well. My wife and I were one of the few customers yet the never checked on us, so even getting the bill was hard to do. I will say the setting is fairly nice, and there’s a free parking lot to use.
