    Thai Spicy Chicken

    The lady at the counter was a little rude. Asked for the water and she pointed to the left without looking at me. I asked for the cup and she pointed her finger again to the left without looking at me , just looking at the cash register. She looked annoyed. We ordered Thai spicy chicken and it was delicious. Then I ordered soda in the counter, tried to pay by card and the same lady said not nicely, we don't accept credit card for just the soda. I think the place will have more customers if the lady was a little nicer because they have good food. I ate here maybe twice before years ago and the lady who worked there before was much nicer and they had more customers,too. The food price is not cheap. Casual dining, they have 4 1/2 tables and chairs. Not busy for a Sunday afternoon, maybe 3 dine ins and 1 take out order in an hour. Lots of parking. Customers pay for their food, it is not free, so be nice .

    Food tasted like it was old and when you tell them it doesn't taste right, they got offended. Don't waste your money , horrible service.

    Are they halal?

    Yes! This restaurant is halal (May 21')

    Is it still under construction?

    I didn't see any construction going on. The food is so good and fresh, seemed smaller in portion.

The roti was perfectly light and not oily at all, which was a real highlight. The spice level is authentic, not toned down like in many Americanized Thai restaurants, and the flavors felt true to traditional Thai cooking. Mango sticky rice was the perfect way to end a scrumptious meal. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Thai food that's flavorful and satisfying. The ambience gives you the vibe of a homely Thai place and the service was quick too.

They don't try to over complicate their dishes by trying to make it modern or fancy. Instead they serve classic thai dishes that look and taste authentic. The servers are extremely nice and treat you like you're a guest in their home. We've never had a bad dish. My favorite is still the Laos style Papaya Salad. It is a kind of flavor and spice that you just can't stop eating. The panang curry is amazing, but does contain peanuts if you are allergic. My husband's favorite is the garlic fish. They give you huge portions too! We finished our dinner with the Mango with Sticky rice. See you next week!

They have some diverse offerings on the menu and are an asian fusion with Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese on the menu. Seems odd but the reason we came here over other places was I saw they had Honey Walnut Shrimp on the menu and its been almost a year since I had it. Interior is on the newer side and the large windows create a lot of nice natural light inside. Golden Eel Rice: A bright yellow egg moat with rice and garnish in the middle. The egg is topped with Unagi. Loved how clean this one tasted but in hindsight I could make something like this at home and should have went for some of the more standard sizzling plates. Beef Rice: Beef surrounding a mound of rice with corn and green onion toppings. It comes with a paper ring around it to remind you it is HOT and you will burn yourself if you touch it. It stays hot for a long time and the kids loved cooking on it. The rice also gets that nice black crunchy char layer on it which my wife loves.

I ordered the hawaiian bbq chicken plate to go. It was fresh and a good portion size. The chicken lacked a little flavor and sauce was runny. I wouldn't order again but definitely will come back to try other menu options.

My order came with bean sprouts, broccoli, fish cakes, potatoes, kimchi, eggplant, and tofu. My favorites were the stir fried fish cakes and the lightly sweetened potatoes. *Kimchi Jjigae: the broth carried a pleasantly fermented kimchi flavor. There was also a generous amount of soft tofu incorporated throughout the stew. This leaned more heavily into deeper, aged kimchi notes. *Mul Naengmyun: the chilled broth had a naturally tangy and slightly sweet profile, so the side of mustard felt necessary to sharpen the flavors further. The buckwheat noodles were pleasantly bouncy, though they had clumped together a bit at the bottom. Unfortunately, the toppings were the weakest part, as both the meat and egg were noticeably overcooked. *Corn Cheese: surprisingly mozzarella forward. The cheese was melted well and paired nicely with the bursts of sweetness from the corn. This complemented the hotter savory dishes especially well. Overall, this is a solid takeout option with efficient service and dependable packaging. I would still like to see more depth and refinement in some of the broths, but the foundation is definitely there.

I don't know what's right/proper now. I have always ordered some sort of Pad Kra Pow with Beef (stir fry bell peppers, basil) but it's not listed as such. However, elated there's such an option on their menu. - I appreciate the portion they picked for their beef because it looks and tastes just like beef; however, it's ultra chewy. My jaw had a workout. I wished they'd cook it med rare as it continues to cook in the enclosed to go container from the heat. - no rice included - love the multitude of bamboo, likely canned - bell peppers (green + red) were over cooked and had no chew - sauce had a bitter after taste which I am not fond of - very very very small portions for $18.87!!! AMBIENCE// - families and friends eating - well lit SERVICE// So I was taking pictures for yelp and the server totally saw me doing so. As I went up to pay, he kept staring me down to the point it creeped me out. Was it a stare down to frighten me to the point of deleting the photos? - no idea why they wrote what they did on my to go brown bag... uhhh I was expecting a "thank you" or something but I did not get any and as the bag states they are open on Sundays!
