Did not like the food. Ordered Pad Thai and pineapple fried rice separately, and somehow, they managed to make Pad Thai chicken with pineapple rice inside ♀️ . I usually love Pad Thai but did not like this one. It’s made with tofu and curry. The Thai tea was horrible. Worse I ever had. I also did not like that our waiter was cleaning Basil on a table where customers walked by instead of in the kitchen. He was not wearing gloves, was serving us, and eating at the same time. He was friendly ♀️. I would not recommend this place because of the unsanitary way they handle food and the way the food taste, but not everyone is the same. I explained my experience, and I hope you have a better one. I will say this for sure. Excellent presentation of food and the place was quaint and very well decorated.
P.S. if you zoom in on my 3rd pic that I posted. You will see a table with a blue jacket over the chair and Basil on it, close to the exit. I was not intentionally trying to take a pic of the Basil, but there is where they were cleaning it. Wide open in the dining Room. I will not be returning.

This is a hidden gem in the Clark community. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience at this cozy place. We had dumplings as an app (not pictured), pad thai, yellow curry and mango sticky rice.
I have ZERO complaints. The owner was our waiter and he was attentive and engaging to speak with. He elevated this experience from good to great.
Do not miss this one, you will have an amazing meal!

The service was excellent. Our server made accommodations for our party, making sure all the guests had the opportunity to try the appetizers. The food was made to our taste. The curry I had was delicious and spicy like the way I wanted it.

Cool spot. My wife and I have been before and decided to go for Mother’s Day dinner. With our munchkin in tow, we had Thai wings and curry puffs for appetizers. For entrees, we both had noodle dishes, hers with shrimp and mine with beef. Our daughter had Satay chicken skewers. It is a byob. A cozy, clean diner style building on Central Ave in Clark, it was cool.

COCKROACHES!!! It came crawling onto my son’s spoon as we were eating. And usually if you see tiny cockroaches, then you may have an infestation. So we stopped eating immediately and left. We almost didn’t pay bc they made us wait 30-40mins to pay! Moving on the food: egg rolls were old and juicy, pad Thai was mediocre, rice dish was okay, but the basil dish wasn’t all that bad. Service was okay but not the greatest, especially for us being the only ones dinning in. Napkins were so old they were stiff, and silverware were super dirty so we asked for chopsticks. I’m sure these a great people but may be in an old place or need more staff. A lot of potential. Would not recommend only bc of the small cockroach I had to kill mid dining.

Loved my experience here. The food was so delicious! Really great vegetarian options too. I had the vegetarian steamed dumplings, chicken satay, and pad thai. For dessert I had the mango sticky rice which was heavenly! Incredible flavors and even better service. They have lunch specials too.

The food is great and the waiter the time that I went was prompt. If your a fish lover try their fried red snapper in garlic sauce with the white rice on the side. The drunken noodles with the shrimp as tasty and better with the chili sauce they have. You will have to ask them to bring it to you. The restaurant is can be cold during the winter when customers come in and out.
My favorite Thai restaurant when I’m around the area!

The plus point: Good food.
The minus point: Not worth for the money.
The waiter behaved as if a fairly tale witch, not helpful or supportive. She wanted to chase us soon as possible, as if she had been expecting some royal diners.
Fishy stinking water glasses.
My invitees had to wipe the plates with tissue.
Ordinary pipe water was served
Even though we ordered dinner size dish, their portion was only sufficient to two people
Since we are vegetarian, we requested vege preparation (without fish sauce, oyster sauce, or shrimp paste) and there was no vegetable variation at all. Same set of vegetables, broccoli, carrot, baby corn, capsicum, and Tafu had been used for Tom Yum soup, Red Thai curry and stir fry vege in hot Thai basil sauce.
There were no authentic Thai vegetables at all (refer the picture) The vegetables in this image are easily available all over the USA. Rather than cheating the diners with the easily available ingredients, use the right vegetables and enhance the respect of the true essence of Thai food culture.
There were no Thai stir fry greens such as Chayote, water spinach, Thai morning glory, and winter squash leaves (refer the pictures)
When she demanded tips during our checkout, we blandly refused for poor quality of their overall performance.

Visited this restaurant on a Sunday evening after reading a bunch of mixed reviews and overall, we were not too impressed.
As we approached the restaurant, we noticed it was a former diner turned into a Thai restaurant. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating but the place definitely looks like it needs some work and updating. Once seated, noticed our table was sticky and there were bugs along the window.
My wife and I ordered the Vegetable Spring Rolls, Drunken Noodles with Tofu and Penang Curry with Tofu. The spring rolls were your typical rolls with not much excitement. The drunken noodles were extremely mushy/slimy and we were not the biggest fan. They did have flavor but the consistency of the dish threw us off, especially with just a few pieces of tofu. Also, we found egg shells in the noodles which was a turn off. The penang curry was tasty and probably the best thing we had. I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea which was probably one of the worst I have ever had. It tasted like watered down tea with absolutely no flavor.
Giving this place two stars mostly because of the customer service which is quick and attentive but the food is not so great.
