I love this wonderful place. The Pad Thai is absolutely marvelous. The restaurant is very clean and has very comfortable booths.
The service was excellent and they cook the food exactly the way you want it. They serve a nice Tai tea also.
There’s ample parking and handicapped spaces.
I will definitely be back here really soon. A very great experience in all ways.

Here’s the updated version with your additions—still clear, firm, and polished:

Got delivery instead of dining in, and unfortunately the food fell far below expectations. I’ve been to Thailand and even took a cooking course in Bangkok, so I have a solid sense of what authentic Thai cuisine should taste like—this wasn’t it.
The Pad Thai with chicken had only the faintest essence of what it should be. The Massaman Curry was overwhelmingly sweet—almost dessert-like. And the lettuce wraps (which you assemble yourself, see photo) were a mix of ground chicken, corn, and an overly salty blend of unidentifiable spices.
Another bad sign: they never ask what spice level you want—something every real Thai restaurant always does.
We only ordered from here because the ratings were higher than others in the area. Owners, please take note. Customers, beware: if you’re looking for authentic—or even close—Thai food, look elsewhere. If you don’t mind a very Americanized version, then this place might work for you.
I’m sorry to report- Overall grade: D.

We went here for a work dinner. Tasty food and friendly service. We Sat in the patio which is nicely covered.
I had the spicy noodles (pad Kee mao/drunken noodles) with shrimp. Good spice. Nice wide rice noodles. Good shrimp.
We also had the tom yum with shrimp. Nice flavor.

Overall the food was excellent here. Good sized portions, even at lunch, and very tasty and flavorful. However, there are definitely some shortcomings as well:
Indoor seating is very limited, and extremely tight quarters – The tables are very close together. Outdoor seating (weather permitting) is definitely what I’d recommend, as there’s more tables and more space outside.
My biggest concern is that the place doesn’t feel particularly clean. My first impression of the place was when the server handed me the menu. It was *literally* a stack of unlaminated, stained, dirty paper, stapled together in one corner. Gross! My paper napkin was also stained when I received it. These issues are hopefully transient, because if they end up with professional menus and a little more quality control, this will end up being a great place!

Yellow curry was great and the desert beef teriyaki was good and really tender. Wontons weren’t my favorite. The service was friendly and everything comes out fast with how well staffed they are. Would recommend the prices were good too.

Recently found a good restaurant with great service. I love that it is family owned and everyone is super friendly. I love everything we ordered. I highly recommend their yellow curry chicken, spicy beef fried rice is a meal on its own, and crispy fish with veggies (I don’t know what it’s called). This is one place that you would like to try.
