Very good food and a reasonable price. Three are for $66... Drinks, appetizers and entrees. Average pricing. Will return and recommend. 1:45 on a Wednesday, no wait, seated immediately.
Only been here twice, but the place overall is very nice. The environment, its all very unique and gives a home-y feeling. The service is great, the waiters and waitresses are very sweet, always approaching the table with a smile and welcoming you to their restaurant. The food is great here, the crab fried rice comes in a big portion and very flavorful, as well as their vegetable dumplings. Their thai milk tea and iced coffee are great, and if i didn't live so far, id come here more often. Don/Dawn was a really sweet waitress, always happy and made small talk.
It was the best Thai plate I've had in a long time. Good presentation, great color, fresh and so tasty. Vegetarian friendly. Asked for Tofu instead of meat. I will be returning for this dish.
We ordered yellow curry happy meal which it came with choice of soup or salad, pad Thai noodle, rice, veggie egg roll and cookie. All were good. Two egg rolls for appetizer and an emperio noodle. Portion was huge and we liked it. All the orders came out 42 bucks. We recommend this place.
Great local place for some fantastic Thai food. The Tom Kha soup is great, the house fried rice is on a whole other level of good, and the yellow curry is phenomenal. Great service, good atmosphere. An overall excellent experience. Don’t sleep on this place the next time you have a craving for Thai food.
