Food was delicious! The spring rolls were fresh, the curry was spicy and creamy, and the crispy garlic chicken somehow was still crispy after being put in the fridge.

The food and cocktails here are insanely delicious! Not a long wait to be seated but if they’re busy it’s very loud and sometimes hard to hear your own conversations.

Great food, but service struggles. Be prepared to wave down someone for food or drink orders. Several tables sat for 20+ minutes before anyone stopped by. Once orders were taken, food came out quickly. The food is ALWAYS very good. I highly recommend to order take out to avoid the wait time.

This review is a little long but I’d like to share my experience. I visited with my sister and cousin over the weekend, excited to check the place out and we all left in a sour mood:

- Our server seemed annoyed from the start. She took my sister and cousins orders first and was tapping on the screen for a couple minutes without saying anything. She seemed confused. Then she turned to leave without ever taking my order. When I said I haven’t ordered she said “oh more? That’s a lot of food.”…. We were shocked and silent about how incredibly rude she was.

- We asked her to read back our order before she left again, when she did, my cousin informed her that she missed the calamari.

- Our food finally comes but with a plate of crispy garlic chicken with prawns, which we never ordered. We tell the man who dropped off our food that we never ordered it and he took it away. Then the rude server came over very passive aggressively and was trying gaslight my cousin that she ordered prawns. My cousin insisted she never ordered prawns, and me and my sister never heard her say prawns. Instead of the server to own up to her mistake, she tried to put it on us and make us uncomfortable.

- After that interaction, the rude server never came back to our table. We noticed they switched her out with another server, who was nice.

- As for the food, the pad see ew was bland, the Pad Thai was too saucy, the drinks were mid (mojito & amaretto sour), and the fresh rolls were just ok. The crispy garlic chicken was decent but we’ve had better. The only food we enjoyed was the calamari.

I hope in the future, they can train their staff on proper customer service.

The food is really really good, so flavorful.
Crunchy garlic chicken is the much try ( i mean i would love to try everything in the menu but keep come back to this)
The pork belly salad ( Yum Moo Grob) is very fresh and the pork still crunchy in the sauce.
They got really busy sometimes so it would be hard to place orders over the phone and wait time to pick up up to 1 hour
I always ordered to-go but they will be still crunchy after 15mins drive 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Bruhh.. this was probably one of the worst Thai places I ever ate. We ordered their special crispy pork belly with green beans.. the pork belly was extremely way too crispy, tough and hard to eat (definitely can break a tooth) and the green beans were not great either. The pad kee mao was bland, not a lot of flavor. And we also ordered the crispy fish.. which we never got because they somehow didn’t add it to our order. Same with the Thai iced tea.. had to let the waitress know about that.. but overall everything was pretty disappointing. Also the waitress there was a bit rude too.. when we tried to ask for to go boxes. Would definitely not recommend or go back.

Great food. They will lie to you about how long your order will be 100% of the time.

Heard lots of good things about this restaurant, and I really enjoy Thai food so I thought about visiting.
I decided to get lemongrass chicken with a side of rice, which had caught me off guard. My experience with Thai food had never had me pay extra for a side of rice, so I was surprised, but still was eager to try.
Unfortunately while the chicken was tender and flavorful, none of the three types of vegetables apart from bell peppers (Carrots, Broccoli, long beans) were cooked. They were still raw and extremely difficult to swallow since I couldn't bite through them.

Their crispy garlic chicken/tofu is very good!!

Overrated, and we were left disappointed. There is much better Thai food elsewhere in this neighborhood, with much better staff. The staff here is extremely rude.

I took my manager's recommendation to heart and decided to treat my wife to a special day out after her work trip. We arrived at this charming restaurant just 15 minutes after it opened, and thankfully, the wait was brief before we were shown to our table. Once we ordered, our meals came out quickly, and oh, were they worth the wait! Each dish was a delightful explosion of fresh and savory flavors that left us craving more.

The atmosphere was perfectly cozy and relaxing, making it an ideal spot to unwind. The staff were exceptionally courteous and friendly, adding to the overall fantastic experience. The only tiny hiccup was finding parking, but honestly, that was a small price to pay for such a memorable weekend dinner. I can’t wait to come back!
