I’ve been coming to this location for over five years, almost every weekend. The service here is usually great but their new server Sarat is terrible and EXTREMELY rude.I place a phone order 30 minutes before picking it up, I came in to pick it up 35 minutes after calling. I’m waiting to pay and ask if he can take tap and he says “yeah, it’s waiting on you” with an attitude for no reason. I pay and ask which one is mine and he says “it’s not ready yet, I said 20-25 minutes.” So I proceeded to tell him I called 30 minutes ago.Just a bad experience after a long day at work. A server has no reason to be that rude. Probably won’t come back again, I’ll just go to the next location.

I used to like this place, but this place isn’t good. I wanted to vomit today after eating. Nor is this place authentic. I like the atmosphere, but if you want better quality and real authentic flavors, try out Loak Toung Thai. Seriously, best Thai food in Tacoma hands down. Hole in the wall. Sadly they’re closed until Feb.I ordered the Thai Chili Beef with sticky rice on the side. It looked nothing like the photo on their menu. The menu photo shows a very dark sauce similar to chocolate, and the beef looked extremely tender and juicy and covered in sauce top to bottom. The consistency also looked thicker, The meal I receive was way over cooked. The beef was so dry I couldn’t eat it. It was disgusting. The soup today, the one they serve for free, was also disgusting. They put sweet chili Thai sauce in it ?‍♀️ It was weird tasting and the flavors didn’t seem to blend well. Last but not least, the sticky rice. The stick rice was gross. Lots of hard spots where it was inedible. This isn’t real sticky rice. Idk what kind of rice they try and sell as sticky rice, but I can tell you that, that ain’t it.Sticky rice doesn’t actually stick to your fingers. It’s a finger food. It sticks together.To cook sticky rice properly, you need a glutinous rice and it needs to be soaked for several hours and then steamed. It’s delicious. They’re also not the only Thai restaurant that does this, but if you’re gonna pay $4 for it, make your own. It’s very easy and don’t use google for instructions because they have incorrect information about it. As far as the server, she was nice. She took the order and served my food. No check-in in between.There’s way better Thai restaurants in Tacoma with the same price point. If you want real thai food, I highly recommend anywhere else lol. Not sure why they think their food is authentic. I can get everything they serve here at any other Thai restaurant besides their signature Thai Chili Beef dish.Posted photo below,

I had phad Thai with tofu and it was delicious! The sauce was almost sweet and sour with a vinegar undertone. It was unique and really good. I also had papaya salad which was perfect. The service was friendly and the atmosphere clean and family friendly. It was a great experience and I will go back.Vegetarian options: You can get almost any dish with tofu and without fish sauce. They were very accommodating.Parking: Located in a small strip mall with parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Large table available for larger parties.Wheelchair accessibility: No curb to get in to the restaurant and no stairs. Aisles are wide and tables have chairs that can be moved for wheelchairs.

I just ordered chili Thai on Uber, it came piping hot and I'm always very reluctant to order the panang curry because most places just don't make it good and it was spot on.

This is one of the best places in Tacoma to get spicy food and some of the best Asian food in the area.
