I pass by this place everyday so we decided to come here. I don’t know about this place being authentic since I didn’t see a single Thai person working there, but it’s pretty decent for being close by. The dining room is not that small. It could seat a good number of people. We ordered crab rangoon, panang curry with beef, lad nar with beef, and Thai custard. The beef in both entrees could have been more tender, they were a little on the chewy side. The curry had a good amount of heat even at mild. The curry had a nice flavor. The lad nar was good, I liked the gravy. The Thai custard was good but small. $7 is too much. It’s more like a $3-4 dessert. Service was very friendly. Prices were fair for the most part. 3.5-4. Average for a decent meal. Nothing to go out of your way for.

This was my 1st time here. Staff was very friendly & kind & attentive. Really enjoyed the different appetizers the combo had. I had chicken pad Thai. When I told the waitress that I loved my pad Thai, she told us the noodles are made fresh for them. There was plenty of room for customers of different size groups that would fit in the dining area. My friend had sweet & sour tofu and really enjoyed her food too. It is def on my list to come to again!

Ordered green curry with shrimps for delivery, $14 for green curry and $4 extra to add shrimp to green curry. Green curry liquid is delicious, for the extra $4 you will pay $1 per shrimps, so for $4 that you paid, you will get 4 shrimps for your protein for this order. There was two rice that came with it, which may be a mistake since I only ordered one small rice. I did not specifically ask for utensils or napkins on the delivery order assuming it will come with at least one set, and there was 0 napkins and 0 utensils for the delivery order.

We had heard great things about this restaurant and we’re not disappointed! The service was great and the food came out fast. We ordered the chicken satay, crab rangoon, and Tom kha soup for starters. We then tried the peppered steak and basil chicken with rice. Everything was super fresh and tasted amazing!! We would have gotten dessert if we were not so full! We will definitely be back soon!

Unpretentious strip mall eatery with fantastic food. Perhaps only 6 or 7 tables in the place, cozy but not cramped. Friendly and fast service. I thoroughly enjoyed the Panang curry with beef, brimming with carrots and green peppers (something many thai places have stopped doing lately–treating the veg as a garnish rather than part of the meal), so this was a welcome surprise. The satay chicken was very tender and flavorful and came with a tiny ramekin of sweet and sour cucumber to complete the appetizer. Thai iced tea to wash it all down. Very happy with my meal. Will make it a regular stop. 🙂

Tried it for the first time and surprised why we didn’t come sooner. Very nice atmosphere. The server was great. The food was good overall. We ordered chicken red curry, chicken eggplants deluxe, and chicken golden noodles. They all tasted good. My only complaint would be the meat was not soaked in well with the sauce. So it tastes by itself a bit. Otherwise, the sauce is good. Good amount of vegetables in every dish. Maybe need a little more meat in the dish? We wouldn’t mind coming back again. We ate some of the dishes before I took the photos.

Disappointing Decline at Our Favorite Thai Spot. This place used to be the go-to Thai restaurant for truly authentic flavors and vibrant, aromatic dishes that reminded us of Thailand. . It was once known for its balanced curries, fresh herbs, and complex sauces. Unfortunately, the recent visits have left us disappointed.Suddenly, everything on the menu seems bland and uninspired. What were once signature plates now taste like generic stir fry—light on flavor, and missing that distinctive Thai character. The depth and uniqueness we loved, whether it was the punchy Tom Yum or fragrant Pad Thai, just aren’t there anymore.It’s sad to witness the decline of a restaurant that used to bring so much joy and genuine Thai cuisine to the area. The service remains friendly, but the food no longer lives up to the memories. Hoping they regain their footing and revive those classic, authentic recipes soon.

Unbelievably delicious. My wife and I order the rice soup often. The sampler, panang, and pad see ew are our go-to when we dine in.

A few friends recommended Thai First so I ordered takeout. The Chicken Panang Curry was so flavorful and delicious that I almost ate the whole serving in 1 sitting. I would have finished it easily if I wasn’t full. It wasn’t overly spicy either (maybe more towards medium). It also comes with a side of white ride.
