My friend has hyped this location up for many days prior to my visit so I was very excited to go. The first thing we noticed was the 19% menu price increase to match the tariffs, which would make this a $20-30 place now as opposed to a $10-20 per mentioned on here. We got an appetizer of shellfish and veggie roll as shown in the picture, for $10 a piece. Portion size was ok, and it tasted very well. The sauces that came with the food were very delicious. For the entree, I had red curry with beef. This was excellent. It is on the spicier side, but my indian friend says he can eat it without a sweat, so take that as you will. Everything in the dish was made very good. The beef had the perfect texture and had soaked in the curry well to give it a nice juiciness. No complaints there. Us 4 had a good time and the waitress took a picture for us. They were very friendly. Will come back again for lunch, as my friend said that lunch and dinner options and pricing were different. Portion size was big. I eat a lot but they give you rice on the side, and you can get free refills so if you portion out the curry well you can definitely make it the size of 2 to 2.5 meals. Thanks!

A true hidden gem! My Purdue Alumni friend couldn’t wait to introduce this place to us and she lives on the East Coast now! Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared— the Curry Pineapple Fried Rice was bright and flavorful, the Hot & Sour Noodle Soup had the perfect balance of spice and tang with so much beef and both the Moo Ping Pork Skewers and Gai Yang BBQ Chicken were tender, smoky, and perfectly grilled. The homemade ice cream sampler—especially the black sesame, ginger flavors, Melon, and Mango—was the perfect finish. Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in Indiana and worth the drive from Indianapolis!

Food and service was very good & fast!
We were craving Thai food and found this place, and the staff were obliging with using vegan sauce (instead of fish sauce). The food was hot, flavorful, and filling; and staff were very kind.

For authentic Thai food in the Lafayette area, this place is a standout. While the flavors may not perfectly match those in Thailand, they are close enough to satisfy my cravings for home-cooked Thai cuisine. The dishes are delicious and well-prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant to friends, family, and coworkers for a delightful dining experience.

The food is acceptable. Not very delicious, but it has the Thai flavor’s. The portion seems to be acceptable. Service is not bad, but one of the servant was rude. She supposed to be friendly but she forgot how to smile. Prices seems to be expensive compared to other Thai restaurants. I don’t think that I will visit them again.

Update May19 2025: Incredible flavors. Kind staff! Take out!
Update Take out : During covid 19 the food quality has greatly improved. 4/5*
Update Dine in:
Taking out two stars.
we went back and were met the unbearable repugnant putrid stench of some Demonic God knows what seafood which some couple ordered. It was worse than a skunk and that ruined the ambiance of the entire room.
It appeared our food was cooked after the earlier foul smelling food and our dishes tasted like sea food.
The smelly fumes quickly spread without notice. It was disgusting.
The stench was so overpowering that we could no longer smell or taste our Mango fried rice or noodles. It was nauseous.
We left without touching another morsel.
Leaving three stars for service.
I went here with my friend after much convincing. We tried 2-3 items and each was exploding with multitudinous flavors. I was truly blown away. The service is quite speedy. Food wasn’t too oily unlike other places serving this nature of food.
Highly recommend this place.
Closes at 9pm which is the only bummer ( sort of)

Best Thai restaurant around the Lafayette area. The portion sizes are sufficient for a moderate-eater and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly. Only downside is that the restaurant doesn’t take online orders or deliver.

I was actually not putting to much expectation on this restaurant before I went. Mostly because the pictures on Google reviews for this restaurant were all in poor quality, but it was actually way better than I thought. Will come here to try out more dishes next time! Highly recommend the shrimp wrap(?), I forgot what it was written on the menu. It was super delicious!!
