This place was really good! I was skeptical because I’ve had some bad experiences with even good rated restaurants in smaller towns, but they delivered! They also have order online available, so we did that ahead of time & picked it up.
Atmosphere: very cute inside with quite a few plants and chill music!
I decided to try their popular Pad Thai with beef and it was probably the best I’ve had (even compared to many places around Phoenix, AZ). It was a little bit sweet and it had the perfect amount of lime, peanuts, and vegetables. I added 1/2 Tbsp spice and it was great. My mouth didn’t think it was spicy but my nose did. My boyfriend didn’t like the beef and compared it to the taste of liver, but I disagree!
He got the drunken noodles with chicken which he really liked minus having onion despite his requests to leave that out. The noodles were much softer than other drunken noodles we’ve had, but he liked that. It came a little spicy in his opinion without adding any spice.
Sticky rice cake: I was very curious about this as I’ve had sticky rice, but this sounded better. It was good, particularly the outsides where it was crispy and flavorful (buttery salty taste). The inside tasted a lot like plain sticky rice. I wouldn’t get it again just because it’s a thick patty of rice and only the outsides were particularly delicious. If they made balls or thinner patties that would be perfect!
Egg rolls: my boyfriend didn’t love these compared to other egg rolls because it had the paper of a spring roll. I thought it was okay, but I don’t usually like the taste of pork, so I only had a bite.
Mung bean sticky rice:
This was really good! My boyfriend thought it could be sweeter, but I thought it was perfect. It was a large portion of rice again, so we didn’t eat much. It also tastes slightly gritty, perhaps this is because of the mung beans, but I would get it again as a dessert, it was good!

The portion size was great for the price. I had the garlic stir fry – delicious. Liked it so well – came back next day for dinner – trying the yellow curry.

Ate here for the first time the other day, and I can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner, this is the best Asian food in Grand Island PERIOD. The chef clearly puts a lot of effort into these dishes and is well worth the wait, I’ve had thai food in Omaha and this blows anyplace I’ve had out of the water, Rice was perfectly cooked and consistent, meat was great quality and the sauce was seasoned authentically and perfectly and the restaurant is very clean. Will definitely be back many more times!

Good food in a small package! There is no dinning room here but they do have a drive thru. I would recommend ordering ahead as good food takes time but everything we tried here from the pho, to the basil fried rice was good.

Easy pickup, friendly service! The larb and sticky rice were so satisfying, I was very happy with my meal. I was also obsessed with the fried rice cheese thingies

I was passing through Grand Island about a year ago and stopped for dinner. I got noodles and the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were more perfect than mangoes in the middle of Nebraska have any right to be and the rice was delectable. I dreamed about that meal for a good six months afterwards.

This was arguably the worst Thai food I have ever eaten. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and received mush. No discernable noodles at all. I dug through the goop and found about 7 tiny pieces of beef. I mean, smaller than a nickel! This dish was gross. Nauseating.
I moved on to the sticky rice with anticipation only to be disappointed once again. Green mango and the rice was dry without that delicious sticky sauce that usually makes it delicious. All in all, the most disappointing experience I have had in Nebraska. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Forgive me, while I go get something to eat since my $20 dinner was inedible.

I ask for recommendation. I got Pad Krapow with chicken, not on menu. Very delicious. Also got and order of egg rolls (2). Some reviewers have said this place is expensive. I think that’s because they’re comparing it to other restaurants that don’t serve super fresh and creative food. Also, the sales tax is 9%. BTW, what they call egg rolls might be called spring rolls at a Chinese place, but it’s consistent with Thai places I’ve gone. Since I travel, it would be cool if I could eat there, but that’s a minor issue. Like the Terminator, I’ll be back.

I got the drunken noodles with chicken and two egg rolls. Both are delicious. I like that the egg rolls are smaller and very crispy. The noodles were super good and the portion is generous! I can’t wait to go back!!!!!

I decided to try this place while in town for work, but I can’t recommend it. The food quality was not very good. What really pushed me to leave a review was that I paid an extra $2 for tofu in my green curry, and it was completely missing. I also ordered spring rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce, but they forgot the peanut sauce. To top it off, I specifically asked for utensils and didn’t receive any.
Overall, the food and service was very underwhelming. I usually trust Google reviews when trying new spots, but this was one of the rare times when I’ve been steered wrong. If you’re visiting from out of town, I’d suggest skipping this place and trying somewhere else. Very MEH.
