★★★★★ 5.0 Garfield Sib · Feb 2026

Absolutely outstanding! The freshly cooked, authentic Thai food is delicious and full of flavor. Prices are very affordable, and the staff is friendly, pleasant, and welcoming. A fantastic place all around

★★★★★ 5.0 Jen L · Jun 2025

This place is extremely affordable and the chicken is nicely made. My favorite was the fried chicken meal. The skin was crisp and the meat itself was juicy. The roasted chicken comes in second and was nicely done. The charred parts weren't rock hard, and had overall had a good amount of flavor. Only problem I had was the chicken cartilage but that's normal. The rice lives up to its name and flavor, it was extra gingery and had ginger pieces. Personally, I am not a fan of ginger and would just get the plain rice next time but for customers who like that extra spice, def get the ginger rice. Their fries are amazing too. I'd love to comeback to try the chicken wings and curry puffs.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Maciej D · Oct 2025

1) main dish was not hot (warm not to say almost cold). Appetizer was burning hot 2) no restrooms. I couldn’t wash my hands 3) I pointed at “crab Rangoon for 3,70$” and said “only one piece please”. I was given 4 and charged 7$. Not nice 4) food is mediocre at best Won’t come back. Don’t recommend

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Hank Chang · Sep 2025

A little clean shop serving Thai-style Haianese steamed and roasted chicken, fried chicken, spring rolls and more. Very healthy, but wasn't as flavorful as I expected (I like the SIngaporean versions better I guess!). The ginger rice was very strong ginger. I really liked their soup, though it was very heavy on the white pepper (which I like, others may not).

★★★★★ 5.0 Blueberry Tea · Sep 2025

The Mixed Steamed and Roasted Chicken was delicious. The cashier was polite and friendly. The restaurant was spacious with lots of seats and tables. For $10.5, this is a great deal. Recommended!
