    Roast Duck Curry
    Alana B.

    Ordered the Wonton Soup and Roast Duck Curry. The curry was honestly sooo good, very rich in flavor and a little creamy. Our host/server was quick and polite which made the experience pleasant.

    We met up with longtime military friends today. We've known each other for over 40 years! A recent passing of another friend prompted this get together. Tomorrow is never promised. So we agreed to not let time lapse for years before spending time together again. The restaurant is clean but it could change out some of their ceiling tiles, which were stained in various areas. Furniture was worn but still functional. Outdoor parking is plentiful. We seated ourselves since the restaurant had just opened up and we were the only ones present. Our server Irene was welcoming with an exuberant attitude & attentive service. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Pineapple Curry, Chicken Chow Mein, and Chicken Pad See Ew family style. Our friends ordered the Thai Iced teas. The food was fantastic and savory. It definitely hit the spot. Everybody enjoyed lunch! And we relished our company more!

    Service was friendly and the pad see ew and red curry was delicious! We will be back when in the area!

    Amazing food and service

    Love coming here! Great food and service. Everything we have ever tried we have loved!

    Spicy Basil with shrimp
    Jessica D.

    This food was outstanding. The sauce in the spicy basil is to die for. It is the best sweet/spicy basil I've ever had in my life. All of the other items were also delicious. Very well balanced flavors. 10 stars

    Yellow curry, egg roll, rice, salad.  Wonton Soup

    Nicest people and best thai food in town! Highly recommend coming here for lunch, quick service with a smile :)

    The staff is friendly and we got our food really fast. We ordered it to go. We ordered two spicy pad Thai. Both should've been the same and one of our bowls was different. I don't know if they gave us the wrong order or if the cashier misheard.. but regardless both portions are fairly small and not very good. Kind of disappointed with the experience I had here .

We had a party of…read more10, so I called ahead and they were very friendly and accommodating, getting us a table as soon as we needed for the amount of people we had. The inside of the restaurant is very decorated, and although on the smaller side had a very nice vibe. Our server was quick to get all of us sat and had waters and hot water out fast. We ordered a large array of dishes, and almost all of them were great. Some of the standouts were the papaya salad, crispy pork, and tom yum fried rice. Our whole table was blown away by the tom yum fried rice. It had a very well done wok flavor and texture to the rice while still accurately capturing all of the classic flavor notes of a tom yum. From what we know, everything just tasted very high quality and authentic. We just wish we lived closer so we could come eat here again. If we are ever in the area I'm sure we will!

Upon entering there was only 1 waitress who was doing everything from taking orders, bringing out orders, ringing people up, and bussing tables so it was a bit of a small wait to get a table as she was solo. There were a few small parties she was tending to when we got there. Give the cook a raise! Everything we ordered was delicious! The cook named Thoum perfected all flavors and the food came out all together in a timely manner. We ordered the crispy noodle lard nah, beef pad see ew, and nam ngiao. Pad see ew and crispy noodle lard nah were delicious in flavors. The only thing with the lard nah was it contained too much gravy sauce so maybe less on that but overall still fire. It was my 1st time ever having nam ngiao. I don't think I've ever had it homemade or even seen it at any restaurants. I was curious and so glad I gave it a try it was hearty packed with a hefty amount of protein but yet the broth was light and refreshing. It contained pork ribs and pork blood tofu which was my 1st time having that as well. It was like a spongy texture like the pork blood was dehydrated and fermented. It was good! We also got mango sticky rice for dessert which was a perfect ending to our meal. Not too sweet just the way I like it. All the decorations inside were so cute even down to the water cups. Everything is nicely decorated to give you a glimpse of the Thai culture. I love it!

I opted for level 1 spicy, which wasn't spicy at all, but they had some great side condiments that were perfect to add in.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the Panang Curry and Thai Fried Rice. Both on the spicier scale, 3 curry, 4 rice out of 5. The curry flavor was very enjoyable. It could use a little more variation of vegetable but when I make it at home I like lots of veggies. The Thai Fried Rice was good, spicy, and I am not sure if it was on purpose but the great variation of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, grean) allowed each bite to be distinctive based on what the pepper added. There were not too many but I thought they added to the dish. My only question was the interior design. It is aged, and just pedestrian. Maybe a more up to date vibe isn't needed, but I think it could add to a location that had amazing food. Still 5 stars on the dining and a sleeper for great food.

I mixed the chili flake into the drunken noodles and start to eat. After about 5 bites a hear a large crunch and feel a large amount of pain coming from my lower left rear molar. I instantly spit out the bite I was chewing and go through the my half chewed food to find out what caused the issue. After some poking around I started to find big hard shards of transparent material and small shards of hard white material. The transparent shards I bit into were clearly glass and the white material were chunks of my tooth. My mouth was bleeding and in pain and I could feel my lower rear left molar had a large chunk missing. This place is really fucked up for letting glass into their food. It was clear they broke some glass around the chili flake oil or around one of the ingredients that makes up the drunken noodles and instead of throwing away everything that could have potentially had glass in it, they tried to salvage some of that contaminated food and serve it to their customers. This was my first and last time eating at this place. What really pisses me off more about this whole situation is that my wife and I are currently introducing various solid foods to our 1 year old daughter and we both gave our daughter noodles from our dishes. It really makes my blood boil that this restaurants cheap and lazy owner and employees would let this type of shit slide and make it other people's problem just to save a few dollars from product loss. Now I have to take a day off work to go to the dentist and get my tooth fixed or if the tooth is past repairable I'll have to go through the process of getting it removed and replaced with some artificial tooth. It sucks that all of that will end up coming out of my pocket. I would suggest everyone to stay away from place. This type of shit happening is never worth the risk from a place that disregards their quality control like this. There are plenty of other great Thai and Asian restaurants in the area that I have gone too over and over again without one issue. I hope this review helps others avoid the same bullshit this restaurant is currently putting me through. Also incase any other customers found glass in their food, I purchased my order around 8pm on April 22nd 2026.
