The food here is absolutely amazing. Literally, the best Thai dishes we have ever had!!!! The tables are comfortable, but you arent there for the atmosphere...you are there to EAT ALL THE FOODs. Wear your eating pants...(i.e. elastic waist band will be your friend). Its go time.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Fransco Sukarto · Sep 2024

Amazing food. We ordered the classics such as pad thai and papaya salad, but this restaurant did it slightly differently by using crispy pork belly in the pad thai and salted eggs in the salad. The shrimp paste fried rice was the standout. Service was friendly and attentive as well, and the place is nicely decorated and spacious. Restroom needs work, however.

The food was so good with authentic Thai flavors. We ordered Papaya Salad with blue crab, roasted chicken and fried liver. It was all "Aroy mak, Kap" - very delicious. Just spicy enough and not too sweet. The sticky rice was perfect too. We'll come back again.

Omg this is THE BEST Thai restaurant in southern California! I finally found this gem after years of searching. All spices and flavors are just right on. Cannot be happier!

★★★★★ 5.0 Yuwei Pan · Aug 2023

I’d give this place 10 stars if given the option! We wanted to get authentic Thai food and our friend recommended this spot in Thai town. Def top 3 Thai food I have ever had! It was a cozy down-to-earth environment and had plenty of walk-in seating. We ordered a thing of fried rice and hot pot and a pork sausage for appetizer. It was very much casual & street food style Thai food and delicious. Recommend their chrysanthemum tea - good for a hot summer day. The staff were really friendly and professional. The only thing was that the air conditioning seemed to be broken and they had large fans on.
