Extremely fresh seafood!
We came here with the red dinning book . Got two entrees and an appetizer for 2 people, koi soi, tiger prawn curry and raw scallops. The koi soi is actually a pasta, so it was quite a surprise to me, there is no soup in the dish. The curry in the tiger prawn dish is full with prawn roe sauce, very rich.
Everything tastes good and I would come back for the 2nd time for sure!

Unique Flavors & Incredible Service—Be Ready for the Intensity!
This was my first time visiting this Thai restaurant. We arrived a bit late in the evening but only had to wait about five minutes for a table. They seated us in a cozy, slightly secluded 4-person spot in an alley-like area of the dining room.
We ordered based on the recommendations from my two college-aged children. I’ve been to many Thai places, but the dishes we had here were truly unique and highly original—definitely not the standard Thai fare.
The flavors were absolutely delicious, but I must warn you: they are extremely intense and stimulating. I’d heard that groups of four usually order seven or eight dishes, but honestly, the food was so bold and impactful that we couldn’t eat that much. Two or three hours later, I’m still thirsty and my lips are tingling!
The staff was wonderful. They guided us kindly and even took the time to explain the menu items one by one since it was our first visit.
Overall, it was an impressive dining experience with memorable flavors and excellent customer care.

Yes, the awards are justified!!! This is an absolute gem but be prepared: your mouth will burn. Cute little place, tight seating with some chairs, often times stools only – but cute. The menu is not excessively long (and great: nothing can be changed bc it should not be changed). The staff guided us through with welcome recommendations. 1 ½ items per person appears to be enough even though they suggest 2 items per person.
The food was a (hot) dream: beautifully presented, phantastic breadth, combinations and variations of flavors, perfectly sync’ed with various textures. Only the lobster was dissatisfying to dissect without appropriate tools.
It would be nice if there was a sweet bouquet possible at the end, but there is room for evolution. Will come back even without that …

Holy basil is as good as it gets. The service is awesome, the food is even better. Great wine drinking food. I’ve always ordered take out from here – the basics, crispy rice salad, pad see ew (both incredible) – but decided to try the dining experience. I was blown away. The food is an experience. Each dish was carefully created with the right amount of flavor and spice. Stand out dishes were the calamari, scallops, and steak. Super friendly staff too. Love this place

Great thai restaurant with a rotating menu. The flavors are really intense and delicious! Our favorites were the thai steak and the crudo.
This was a great spot to grab a bunch of dishes and split them with friends.

An INCREDIBLE Thai restaurant with both a modern and classic twist?
My friend and I tried this shop at the end of April (I know, long overdue) after hearing so many things about them on Eater and all their reviews. We were able to be seated at the bar area right away on a Sunday at 8 pm, even without a restaurant.
There were a few dishes sold out for the day, but we loved every single dish. It was on the pricier side, but so delicious and definitely worth it. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a twist on a Thai restaurant. It’s a bit of a smaller place, so not the best for bigger groups.
Service: 5/5

Update: tried 3rd time and still CLOSED. Kitchen staff there says it opens 12pm., I checked both on Google map and Apple map for the opening time which said 11am-3pm ( I also checked their website which didn’t provide exact hours). We drove about 40min.
Please update the hours- or at least put it out there on the restaurant display etc., so at least we can avoid making same mistakes, if there is such thing as “opening hours” here….

Original Review:
Came here twice, at listed opening hours, BOTH TIME CLOSED.
The food in the photos look amazing and I can feel it’s the kind of food I love and the restaurant I love to support, but this is nonsense.
I’m nearly angry because I was so hungry and drove all the way here with guests… did I tell you that happened TWICE ???
Please update the opening hours correctly –
I would love to fix the rating, if I can make it here someday again although I won’t try it for a while now.

Food is wonderful and unique. My favorite is the Shrimp Yellow Curry and the Gra Pow crispy pork belly. A must try place. Service was excellent too.
