I very much appreciate the love and authenticity that the chef puts into her cuisine. My granddaughter ate more than half of her fried rice :) A pretty much a hole in the wall place. But well worth the experience. Being a large party I'm glad we entered early, as they got busy quickly. I found the decorations nice. They make their boba fresh! Unheard of. Be patient. Super nice folks. Very good portions to price ratio. They have lunch portions too. Unfortunately not everyone was super happy. Bathrooms are dirty, I didn't go in to see. And my daughter found a hair in her Pad Thai. Bummer. Things that can be easily rectified by if addressed. I would return and recommend you try this restaurant. Future plans for husband's tamales soon. Maybe do not go over 2 on hotness scale, you always can add their chili oil. read more

panang curry here was incredibly delicious. i ordered medium and it was the perfect amount of heat and the color made it look so appetizing. i haven't tried anything else from this restaurant so my review is only based on that but i will 100% be back when i need a panang curry fix. i've been here twice, once ordered to go and once dined in and the servers were polite and courteous. a great little thai hole in the wall. read more

Best Thai food I've had in this area hands down. Hearty and complex flavors. I ordered to go and the owners were so sweet and welcoming, it feels like visiting and being fed by a Thai auntie and uncle. Cute decorations. Nam tok beef was sooooo good with the fresh and fragrant herbs. My new favorite Thai food place read more

OMG Driving past on the way to Eglin Air Force base we looked into the corner of a small shopping center overshadowed by GoodWill store. It used to be a location that we would stop for a bite when leaving the base. The location had a few different restaurants throughout the years. We were hungry for a small lunch and stopped in. Thai food, most that we have had in the past was usually okay but one taste of their red curry lunch special had me wanting to have my wife taste it. Wow how did they put so much flavor in that one taste. I was hooked. We live about fifteen miles away, across a bay and through a toll. We both decided that if we want Thai food that this hidden gem is the place for us. Stop in, large delicious portions that won't strain your budget. read more

Stumbled on this restaurant and so thrilled that I did! Really clean food -- plenty of veggie options Loved the curry Highly recommend read more

First time here today. Ordered Pad Thai, and Panang curry. It also came with egg drop soup. Five stars on food and service. When in town, we will return. Highly recommend read more

Some of the best Thai I've ever had. I ordered Pad See Ew, like I usually do. I said mild. It definitely was hotter than mild. Despite that it wasn't too hot. Just borderline too hot. Despite that the flavor was so good that I didn't even care. Very good flavor, and not overly sweet like some can be sometimes. Great service. Very friendly and attentive. Apparently, it's a different owner than the Thai place that used to be here a couple years ago. They said those folks moved their restaurant to Crestview, I think she said. This place was very good when I visited a couple years ago with the prior owners, but it is even better now. read more

Best thai food I've had, been going here for a while now. Yellow curry, pad woon sen and the rolls and 10/10. Customer service is always amazing, love the energy and folks that run the place. read more

The best Thai cuisine and attentive, friendly service!! The Crispy duck in sweet chili sauce is amazing!! Equally delicious is the Pineapple combination fried Rice and Combination Pad Thai noodles! Don't forget to try Thai tea!! We look forward to our next visit! A must try!! read more

That was interesting. We didn't even mean to come here, we were looking for a pho spot. Realized our mistake, but decided to stay anyway. Ordered Rangoons. Surprised it didn't have crab. No biggie, cream cheese is delicious. Sauce was good. 6 pieces were plenty for our party to snack on. Ordered Pad Thai. Safe bet. Best Pad Thai I've had, not that I've had much. Portion was shockingly huge. I couldn't even eat half. Noodles were perfect. Chicken was standard. The only thing I could wish for is some more peanuts. Medium spice is PRETTY hot, so take it easy and order mild to thoroughly enjoy your meal. Thai tea boba- wouldn't order again. The boba looked... homemade? Not the perfect pearls you'd expect. The thai tea was great nonetheless. Interior was meh, cute decor. The waiter and cashier were absolute sweethearts. Bathroom had a puddle in the center though... maybe somebody missed the toilet? Give this place a shot! read more

Its meh. Nothing special to write home about. There's other better Thai place that I won't return here. I got the shrimp noodle pad woon sen dish. The noodles were in little pieces because it's over cooked you don't need chopsticks. The vegetables were over cooked and shrimp. The shrimps are a little hard. It's also bland in taste. Their spring rolls are crispy but greasy. Well, at least that time it was crispy anyways. Don't recommend. read more

My husband and I ordered cream cheese wontons (crab rangoons), steamed dumplings, and pad see ew. Loved them all! Great serving sizes and flavor. Rangoons/Wontons: they were a little sweeter than we're used to, but we thoroughly enjoyed them. Very creamy. The dipping sauce was very flavorful, kind of fruity, and delicious. Dumplings: these were fantastic. The flavor was rich and savory. The dipping sauce was a great compliment! Pad See Ew: tasty! We ordered it mild and there was just a hint of spice that was perfect. The noodles were really long, and I prefer the short/wide noodles, but the flavor was great. Lots of tasty veggies and chicken. read more

WARNING the online menus numbers don't match the restaurant. The person could not understand enough English to correct our order. After ordering again at the counter we ordered two chicken dishes we got home to find two bowls on vegetables. Really a sad event, dinner was ruined. On the up side for $24.00 our two vegetables bowls tasted good. Regards read more

Clean and nice. The owners serve and cook. Large portions of tasty food served! We eat here often!

This place is awesome. I was craving Thai and stumbled upon this gem. Had the Tom Kha soup and Pad Thai. Both were outstanding. And the team couldn't be nicer. Service was awesome and they genuinely cared that I enjoyed my meal. read more

I wanted to love this place so much! Really I'd give this place 3.5 stars and here's why: -The green curry was on the thin side, unlike the pictures here which make it seem thicker. However, the rich depth of flavor was a welcome surprise. -The pad thai was a complete miss. It lacked that combination of sweet, salty, tart, and umami that is commonly associated with pad thai. It tasted only of soy sauce and was on salty side. I think if I hadn't been expectating pad thai, the noodles would have been fine. I poured the sweet and sour dipping sauce that came with my spring rolls over it, and coupled with the squeeze of lime, it was a lot better. -The Thai green tea was great. Earthy, sweet, and refreshing. If I went again I'd try a different curry and get more of that tea. read more

This place was very good! Our table was very happy with our orders here this evening. The drunken noodles were great and the seafood tom yum soup was perfect for clearing up my nasal congestion and soothing my throat. A lot of people seemed to carry out from here, but I even overheard another customer complimenting them while picking up his order. Prices are reasonable, as portions are very generous! read more

We visited this place based on the high rating and that we like Thai food. I got chicken Pad Thai and it was not what I was expecting. The sauce tasted like ketchup mixed with sweet and sour sauce and had a bad acidic smell. My friend got the drunken noodles and was also disappointed. The chicken was dry, noodles were all broken into pieces, and sauce was very salty. Service was good and waitresses were nice, but I don't recommend either dish. read more

I forgot to mention in my earlier review that the portions are very generous. So splitting a meal between people with smaller appetites is definitely a possibility with this restaurant. read more
