Everything I tried by far is so delicous and tasty!! Food came out fast,service is excellent and the atmosphere of the restaurant is just a bonus. I would definitely come try more food!!

I requested a 'little spicy,' and while it ended up being a bit over my personal threshold, I suspect that was just the high-quality, potent peppers they used. The standout, however, was the sticky rice--genuinely some of the best I've ever had. A very solid meal all around.

We arrived at around 1:30 and the place was packed. After a tiny wait, we were seated. The service was so kind and swift, and they did it all with only 2 servers inside. I didn't feel rushed or wanting for anything. Amazing! The dishes we tried were all simply incredible. This might be my new favorite Thai restaurant! We wanted dumplings, but they were out by the time we arrived. Instead, we tried spring rolls and shrimp blankets. So good! Both are completely homemade, not from a box. Our entrees were delicious, too. I got a curry and my daughter had Thai chicken with veggies. I loved hers, the chicken was lightly fried and the sauce was somewhat spicy. The veggies were just cooked enough not to be too crisp but not falling apart. Can't wait to go back to sample those dumplings. If they were sold out by 1:30pm, they must be awesome!

The service is friendly, but the food came out a bit slower (I had with four people total) than I expected. We got the Snow Pea Dish (Seafood Combination), Drunken Noodle with Chicken, Crispy Tofu, Rama Tofu, Red Curry, Tulip Dumpling, and Rice Pudding. I was pleasantly surprised the Drunken Noodle with Chicken! I enjoyed the sauce on my noodles which were also cooked well and did not clump together like at other places. I wish it was a bit spicy... next time I will ask for the chili spice rack (it was not readily available on the table). My cousins enjoyed their food, especially the tofu dishes. I ate a bit of the Crispy Tofu and I wish the tofu had some seasoning on it because the peanut sauce could only add so much flavor. I also tried a bit of the Rice Pudding, which is their mango sticky rice. I thought it was okay... the mango did not taste super fresh, maybe a bit artificial? But not bad! Overall, I am pleasantly surprised at how good my dish, the Drunken Noodle with Chicken tasted. I have eaten a lot of good Thai food, especially having lived/visited places like Atlanta/New York City, so I was not expecting this place... my tiny hometown... to be that good. Also, I had visited this restaurant a few years ago and I found the food to be very average, but this time it was very tasty. I am not sure if there was a change in chefs or management in recent years, but keep up the good work!

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

The intestines stir fried with onion n jalepenos. It was soo good! Also order the duck n combo, comes with rice, duck, stuff chicken wings, roast pork, cabbage and paired with a sauce. The stuff chicken wings were good to me. Filled with vermicelli noodles. My favorite meat was the roasted pork dipped in the sauce. The only bad thing was the cabbage, it tasted spoiled. There's a lot of seatings and it was cool for a hot day. So if you're in the area, stop by and give it a try!!!
