I ordered the green curry chicken with extra veggies and brown rice. It was so much better than other Thai restaurants with an excellent serving size. This is now my new go-to Thai restaurant. There's plenty of parking and for those inclined, they have a full service bar.

This restaurant and Nunu are both institutions. By far the best Thai food in the area. Not fancy just delicious. Literally put your finger on the menu with eyes closed and prepare to be blown away by the flavors. Duck basil lives in my dreams rent free.

The food was banger and exactly what I wanted (I got the pad thai). Service was very quick and they were so friendly! It seems like a lot of locals go there, a good place :) they let me sit for as long as I wanted at the table when a surprise thunderstorm came through. Really nice....
