There are plenty of Thai restaurants in the area but we were short on time and very hungry so we gave this place a shot. To not waste your time reading, I'd highly recommend look elsewhere for better foods, better price and better atmosphere. This has to be the worst Thai restaurant foods I've had ever. Our bill was about $125 with foods and a lemonade - tips not yet included. And frankly, we weren't even full after the meal. We did have pad thai left over but because it was not palatable and couldn't finish it. You can see a photo of leftover pad thai and how bland it looked and it tasted as bland as it looked. The beef in beef salad was chewy. Calamari was greasy. Shrimp cake didn't taste anything like shrimp. For a $150 dinner for 3, it was a waste of money and time. Parking

This is one of those hole in the wall restaurant on a busy street. I came to this restaurant at 1:30 pm and still had difficulty finding a parking spot. The restaurant had a dog peep scent on its carpet. The staff was friendly. We ordered drunken noodles and thai noodle soup. The noodles were overcooked and stuck together on the drunken noodles. The noodle soup was tasteless. Price was high and portion was small. They will charged you $2 more for beef and $5 more for seafood.

My daughter and I had a late Saturday lunch here and it was wonderful! The food was delicious, came fairly quickly, and the woman who waited on us was very friendly, attentive, and professional. It was at nice to enjoy our meal in a calm atmosphere, without all the noise and chaos of larger places. Definitely recommend!

Food and service was great! Portion was a little small for the price and the duck had a lot of bone but I still enjoyed my meal a lot.

I forgot to take a photo of my food 🙌 ⁉️ 💯 but I will say this place is an incredibly cute hole in the wall in an incredibly cute part of town. The food is good (how can Thai food be bad) and affordable in this economy. The lady working there was incredibly sweet. If you're in this part of town and you're hungry I recommend at least considering this place
