I love this place—I’ve been coming here forever! Affordable prices and such a cozy little hole-in-the-wall. I especially love eating here when it rains. Sitting by the window with a hot bowl of tom yum soup and fresh rolls is perfect. The view of the street, the rain, and the neon lights reflecting on the pavement makes it such a vibe. It’s a great spot for people-watching and exploring Thai Town. The service is always lovely too.

Sad to say I drove across town to eat here and sat down for dinner with friends… They ONLY take cash. None of us had enough. Sad as it sounds like a great place. That’s very limiting on your customers.

Excellent Thai food at very good prices.

10/17/22: Had the fried fish with chili garlic sauce. Was perfectly fried and the sauce had a great fresh flavor.

10/20/22: Had the War soup which is a Thai Chinese soup. Great flavor especially when you add some of their vinegary hot sauce. I like that they serve it in a special bowl with a fire to keep it hot. Fried banana was very good too.

3/9/23: Had the Tom Kha with chicken, medium spiciness. Was good but they only put chicken, lemongrass, basil and green chilies. Would be nice if they put some vegetables in there.

2/10/25: Had the Yellow Crab Curry (excellent) and the pad Thai (decent but a bit too sweet)

The only downside was, they didn’t return me my change, as if expecting it as tips.

Aboid this place if you care about food quality and service!!!

I really wanted to like this restaurant — the food looked good, and I came in hoping for a nice meal. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what I expected, and it all came down to the service.

I ordered several dishes, including a Pad Thai with extra shrimp. When my food arrived, I immediately noticed it didn’t look like there was an extra order added. I politely mentioned it to the server, but instead of handling it professionally, she actually came to my table and started counting the shrimp on my plate. I was honestly shocked — not only is that unsanitary, but it just felt so disrespectful.

She said the regular Pad Thai comes with six shrimp and the extra order adds another six. After counting, she found eleven and told me only one was missing. Then she asked if I had already eaten one because, according to her, the cook insisted he had added all the extra shrimp. I hadn’t even touched my food yet. That comment really bothered me — it felt like she was implying I was lying.

A few minutes later, she brought me one tiny shrimp on a small plate, completely unseasoned, and just walked away. From that point on, she barely checked on our table, even though the restaurant was practically empty. It made the whole meal uncomfortable, and honestly, I lost my appetite.

I still left a decent tip because I understand times are hard, but this experience left me disappointed and a bit disgusted. I’ve eaten at so many restaurants and have never seen someone handle a customer concern this way. That’s just unacceptable!

To the owner — please take this as honest feedback. The food was decent, but your staff needs better training in how to treat customers with respect. No one should have their plate touched or be made to feel like they’re being accused of lying over something as simple as a missing shrimp. This restaurant has potential, but that kind of service really ruins it.

Racist. The bill was $18, I put a $20 bill down expecting my change so I could then keep the remaining $2 dollars and put a $10 tip. Which is what I always leave as tip there. The hostess takes my bill and after a while I notice I haven’t gotten my change I see her standing by the register and we make heavy eye contact, she does a lot of different things. At this point it has almost been 15 minutes since she took my bill and hasn’t returned with my change even though we’ve been making heavy eye contact. I call over another worker and ask for my change he goes up to the register where she is and another lady worker is as well I hear them say something about tip and make some sort of scoffing gesture. She brings my change and with an attitude says “just so you know tip is not included”. I put down my 10 dollars and she says “oh”. She assumed I wasn’t going to leave tip and was trying to keep my change as tip. You respect people and bring them their change ALWAYS. There was no reason to assume this of me the only reason I can see is because I’m brown. It’s disgusting behavior. I told her she shouldn’t do that and she said yeah yeah sorry but in a dismissive way. DISGUSTING. Do better and shame on that worker. You don’t treat people like that. Period.

Rude waitress! Currently on the phone with my best friend as she ate at this place. Her meal came out to $18. She gave $20. The waitress took the money and didnt return. My friend loved the food and told me she wants to give them $10 tip. The waitress kept making eye contact with her, giving her strange looks but never gave her a receipt or change. My friend asked for her change and the waitress said “the tip is not included.” My friend gave her the $10 tip and told her not to assume. The waitress approached another staff member, said something and laughed. My friend then told her it was rude and she shouldn’t make assumptions. My friend has eaten at this place many times. They lost a customer who loved this place. She also said the Thai tea was bad.

Update May 2025. Kai Kua Flat noodles with chicken and Green onions was very tasty.
Excellent Thai food at very reasonable prices. Service was personable and food was delivered fast. Had the Soup and Crab Fried rice. Crispy and tasty. Parking is difficult to find nearby.

The food was good. We enjoyed every bite. But in the other hand they only take cash. They don’t tell you in the beginning So we had trouble paying them. This place gets really really busy and crowded. Avoid Friday, Saturday and Sunday if you don’t like to eat in a crowded place.
