Love this place. As quick or leisurely as you wish, always great srvc. Food and cocktails are divine. Frequently pick up their Thai iced coffee to-go. It's the best in town.

Oh my goodness I have been so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so ecstatic to try this place

The main reason is I used to do doordash and the amount of orders that I would receive from this place was unheard of, so you have to think to yourself it must be delicious and I need to come try it on my own time

So that's exactly what a friend and I tried to do a few weeks back.

We literally drove all the way over there from the Central District area of Seattle so it was very shocking in the way that we were treated

After waiting a little bit which was fine because every time I came to pick up a doordash the wait time was always crazy and again no worries because we were excited to eat here

We got sat in a corner, no one came to check on us and this is ranging from a period of sitting down at the table me getting up to go wash my hands coming back to the table and then my friend getting up to go wash his hands coming back to the table and still nothing

However when he was in the restroom, Karen was set down after us at her own table, yet they were flocking to her Aid to figure out what she wanted to order.

As my friend was in the restroom I just watched all this unfold in my heart sank. I didn't appreciate the disrespect that we were given before we could even order some food

So after sitting there watching Karen get all the assistance and remind you coming in after us and receiving some food before we even got to place an order in....

I looked at my friend and I was like I'm ready to go, we do not deserve the disrespect that we have been given since walking in the door

Very displeasing and so sick of going certain places and being looked over because what we don't fit a protocol. You don't think we have money to spend? Or is it you think the Karens and Jim's of the world are the only ones that should be treated with the utmost respect while visiting your restaurant??

Wherever y'all's headspace were and or thoughts... I can assure you one thing, we will never set foot in your restaurant ever ever again and if anyone asked me about it, I'll tell them to stage left and go the other way!!!

I used their online menu when I arrived. My Phad Thai had tofu in the description so
I ordered the vegetarian option. When the entry came it had no tofu. I asked the waiter about it and they said it didn't come with it. I told them it was in the menu description and then they said Oh that's the online menu and it's old. Very rude about it and didn't offer to fix something that was wrong with their menu. Who wants to eat noodles with no protein? Also, it tasted like ketchup is their base.

We loved the garlic chicken- not greasy or dry. Perfectly balanced and seasoned! They also had a seasonal dish with pumpkin and shrimp that was delicious. Overall we will be coming back.

The food was excellent. The service was some of the worst I’ve experienced in some time. Just absolutely no care. Language barrier is a problem as well in getting the order right. Clear communication helps everyone.

I mean.. wow. Really so good. Multiple people recommended this restaurant and we finally made it. Im very excited that its only 4 minutes away from home lol. The food was really really good... worth a 30 minute wait for a table. The portions fed us for 2 days worth of dinner. The flavor was great in everything. My wife got the crispy garlic chicken... so tasty. It's only a large plate of chicken so I would get a side of veggies or something. We got steamed noodles. I got the pad pong karee.. very good. Got a side of rice and curry with it as well. The place itself is kinda small for the amount of business they do.. so it was a little loud. But service was great. And the prices for the portions was totally worth it. The Lychee martinis hit the spot !

Lol, a bunch of good reviews here I see but dine at your own risk!!
I was served chicken that was very near rotten and definitely off. The apps before that weren't worth it. Very very westernized Thai food without a lot of punch. There has got to be better.
