Great Thai restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere and service. Some of the dishes are outstanding. The Kha Moo was an excellent dish of Thai meets Chinese influence with meat that just melts in your mouth. The fresh spring rolls appetizer is not to be missed; delicious ingredients served with 2 well contrasting sauces

Excellent Thai food. Sauces (the base sauce for the green beans and the hot and sour sauce for the crab fried rice) are somewhat overpowered. Dishes are visually pleasing. Eggs and crabs in the crab fried rice are both plenty in quantity and well cooked, while the rice base is well seasoned. Could have been better if staff are more attentive. Since we were seated outside, no one came to check on us, and no one refilled water. Service feels unwelcoming. The food is very great so kudos to the chefs.

It’s authentic. A large group of Thai folks have a huge party while I am dining. If they like it, I am sure that’s pretty authentic. The portion size is very large. The curry tends to be very creamy with a heavy portion of coconut milk. The mango duck is very crispy. I like the presentation of the dish. I also like the juicy bell peppers and mango within the red curry itself. The decor is quite interesting. I can tell the owner really likes fish.

walked in on a thursday for lunch, was seated quickly, not too busy. really cozy, comfy restaurant with skylights and natural light and fun shaped rattan light fixtures. server recommended the shrimp cakes, which were crispy, peppery and delicious served with a sweet chili sauce. reminded me of my vietnamese grandmother’s fried crab balls. the butterfly pea cocktail (not elderflower) was really yummy and pretty, couldn’t really taste the alcohol. the khao soi chicken was delicious and a huge portion, probably didn’t need the ka moo as well but they made wonderful leftovers! the ka moo is perfectly braised pork, really so tender that it melts in your mouth. it came out with what seemed like a green chili fish sauce that had a lot of kick to it but i didn’t feel was necessary given how flavorful the ka moo stew was. upgraded the side of rice to coconut rice and was not disappointed! would definitely come back!

I want to give high marks for the food not being salty. The papaya salad was very spicy but delicious. I strongly recommend the chicken noodles with curry soup! The food comes out really generous and good price.

Very atmospheric and warm Thai place with huge portions and nice stuff. It could be packed on weekends but this is another prove of its popularity. I really like the interior, wall art and other details add that true elegant Asian vibe to your dinner. What’s about food… it is very savory and tasty! My choice was Basil eggplants with beef and that plate was amazing. All vegetables were perfectly cooked and complimented each other. As well as meat. Can definitely recommend this meal. My friends picked red and green curry with wild rice and khao soy chicken. All plates were delicious. Their drinks are not only good but also nicely decorated. Recommend to try lemonade and have that aesthetics pleasure. Can say that prices are fair for that big meal and service. That’s the place where I really want to return

A delicious place for fish dishes. Beautiful a e s t h e t i c restaurant interior with woven basket fish hanging from the ceiling, cute pink butterfly plates with pink napkin (highly recommended), Thai iced tea with a fancy flower to make you feel special, and more. My only critique is that they need to fill water glasses once people finish drinking their water. We need to stay hydrated out here

Omg literally one of the best restaurants that I have ever been to! The staff is so nice and although it does take a little longer, it is so worth the wait. They accidentally messed up our order and we didn’t bother to say anything but they came and gave us free fried rice!! And let me tell you, that was the best fried rice ever!! We will be coming here many more times!
