Reviews
I always opt to done outside in their oasis on the sidewalk. It is so very well done with umbrellas over every table and greenery surrounding you on all sides with hanging lights throughout, such that you are in your own world sheltered from the ongoing traffic.
The service is always impeccable which is great because they do tack on automatically a 20 percent service fee, no matter your party size. This is not revealed aloud until they bring you the bill. But, since you will get service, food, and atmosphere well worth at least 20 percent, let it be.
The menu options are lengthy. I have always been pleased with presentation, quality, and quantity and always have plenty to take home.
Spice levels are 1 to 5. Level 2 I found too mild, three was perfect for my taste. The servers will help you decide.
It can be pricey but so worth it.
I will definitely return.
The Tom Yum soup and Tom Kha Soup were both good and really a ton of vegetables in each.
Pad Phet (spicy) with chicken was excellent
The Panang curry with pork was requested to be Thai spicy (extra hot) and that kinda fell flat for me.
Overall a good meal for both of us.
No wait for a table of 2, the lunch is an entree with a soup or salad . The salad is nice and fresh, but the pineapple dressing is quite sweet. The soup of the day, chicken and rice, was really delicious and flavorful, definitely recommend!
The spicy noodles (essentially drunken noodles) was amazing, great flavor and portion and if you like spice, level 3 is perfect! It has a ton of delicious sauce too, almost too much but loved the flavor.
It’s a little odd that even for a party of 2 for lunch, tip is already included in the bill, but the price was so good for the portion and quality that it’s totally worth it to me! Great spot to stop by!
Ordered Fresh Spring Rolls — $8.00
Not your usual spring rolls; these include tofu. After looking at the menu later, it clearly lists fried tofu as an ingredient, so that explains why this one wasn’t our favorite.
Wonton Soup $7.00
Samosa $8.00
Pad Thai $22.00
Spicy Fried Rice with Chicken $21.00
Two Ginger Beers $6.00 each
Subtotal: $78.00
Tax: $5.46
Service charge 20%: $15.60
Total: $99.06
Service charge is noted on the receipt, and the restaurant’s own site confirms a dine‑in service charge and tipping policy for dine‑in orders.
The spring rolls were the only item that didn’t quite land for us, due to the tofu, but everything else was excellent. I ordered the spicy fried rice at spice level 3, which the server warned me might be hot and he was right. From the first spoonful I was sweating; it was that spicy. It was too hot for me to finish on the spot, so I asked for a take‑home box. Portions are generous easily enough for two people to share one dish. That was a huge bonus.
If you’re not into very spicy food, go with heat level 1 or 2; the food is still flavorful, just less intense. Based on this experience, I’ll return and order level 1 next time.
Our server was kind, polite, and checked in often. He even joked about the spice level when he saw me sweating, which showed good rapport.
Beautiful, inviting space, even on a busy holiday night. The vibe near the kitchen was energetic but not chaotic.
The 20% service charge felt unusual to us and is something diners should be aware of in advance. It’s clearly listed, but it did affect the overall bill.
Still, given the delicious food, generous portions, attentive service, and the fact they were open on Christmas Eve, this is a place we’ll gladly return to, just with a milder spice level next time.
We ordered our typical Thai dishes that we enjoy and truthfully every dish lacked flavor. My husband’s tom yum looked delicious, but he could barely eat it something was in it that he didn’t like. Maybe too much sour flavor and not balanced enough. I didn’t care for my pad thai either, not sure of the carrots and cabbage on top. The fresh rolls were just OK.
I was shocked at the high reviews that led us here. We are not from the area, so maybe that’s what the locals like. Overall, I will not return.
