Good service, delicious food and very plentiful servings! Highly recommend the Penang Curry.
Food was ok, and I think our waitress had a bad day. We hardly ever saw her, and theyvwerent busy. I think there was too much sugar in the Pad see ew for my preference. It was real sweet and made my stomach hurt. But the calamari was good. I enjoyed the sauce for the egg rolls better. My sister loved her drunken noodles.
Great place! Though their lettuce wraps are not as good as PF Chang's, their Panang Curry is my favorite dish anywhere. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. My wife likes the Pad Broccoli. Too bad. I usually get to finish her dishes, but not this one.
Easily the worst pho I've ever had. Their appetizer platter is an ultra bland dirty grease fest. I've eaten better food at 7-11.
This place is my go-to Thai place in C’ville.Every dish I’ve had here has been delicious, and I’m surprised I haven’t written a review yet.My favorite dish is the arkhanay noodles. They’re wide noodles with seafood and topped with crab in a delicious brown sauce. And of course, their pad Thai, fried rice, and Thai iced tea is all A1. This time I tried their Kanom Jeeb appetizer and it tasted really good - I retry much a steamed crab + pork dumpling topped with scallions. Their Thai iced coffee is good too.Seriously if you haven’t been here you definitely have to try it because they have never missed.
Great food and service. The Ginger Perfect is excellent ? as are both the atmosphere and attitude of the staff
Awesome Thai food! They have a very extensive menu for both food and drinks and have sweet aquatic décor on the walls/ tables. The curries are all very good.
Tried several dishes and have never been disappointed.
I love this place, the food has a flavor really comes through, even at the spiciest level the taste is what really shines.
Their Panang curry was sweet. That tells you everything.

If you're looking for a fast food version of Thai, this is your place. It looks nice when you enter but doesn't hold a candle to other Thai restaurants in town. If this were the only place in town I might come back, but since it isn't, I won't. First and foremost, my server dismissed my food allergies (I ordered food that shouldn't have had cross contamination but since I have delayed reactions I have no way of knowing if they listened as of the time of writing this review). My appetizer and food were served at the same time, with no spices or limes offered for my pad Thai. The server ignored me and I had to flag them down for everything, even though I was the only customer in there at 5:30 pm - all I needed was my order taken, my water, and then limes. Oh, and the check. There was never a quality check or anyone visible without me making it very clear I needed them. I guess I can see why this place isn't busy during peak business hours! Food came very quickly, I'll give them that - almost too quickly! Save your time and money and visit Monsoon Siam, Thai 99, Thai Cuisine, or Lemongrass instead of this establishment.Update: they definitely didn't take my allergy concerns into consideration and I am now sick.
Great value Thai food with a good variety of options. I want to specifically highlight the eggplant - absolutely order this. Beautifully caramelized sweet soy sauce, it was cooked to perfection, and came in a great portion size. I will honestly go back for that dish alone!
Excellent food!med.Mpriced. Accomodating but amateur staff who doesnt seem happy.Otherwise deserved another star
I used to eat here quite frequently years ago & it was great .. UNFORTUNATELY.. this is no longer the case .. the food quality has gone down considerably.and ... the service ( waitress ) during the week is atrocious.. She acts as tho she doesn’t even want to wait on you ; she barely speaks ; she doesn’t refill your drinks ; or even sked if there’s anything else she can get you ? doesn’t say “thank you”... quite frankly.. she’s a deterrent for this restaurant. .. I won’t return if she’s there !!
We've ordered shrimp shumai, tom yum soup and papaya salad. Shrimp shumai was delicious! However the papaya salad was so bitter that we couldn't eat it. We told the server about it and she apologized for it and didn't charge us for it. Now about the tom yum soup. I think the soup didn't have the punch that it should have. The quantity was okay, but the taste could've been far better!
