Best Thai food I have ever had among KC, OP, Topeka, and Lawrence KS as well as in Orlando, FL. I tried crab fried rice, yellow curry, pad thai, and tom kha, tom yum, and they were all excellen. Highly recommend crab fried rice and pad thai; you'd never found a better pad thai in said areas. Thai tea was so good and the owners were always so sweet to offer free refills to make up for the long wait. The restaurant is a cute small family owned restaurant by a couple and they only have limited dining in options which require much in advance prior reservation. Otherwise, you have to do around 1 hour pickup wait time depending on when you come in. Nice and comfy dining atmosphere as well as waiting area. read more

A very quaint restaurant with great, knowledgable staff and delicious food. We had the Ross's Curry and Pad Thai. Both plates were full of food and flavor. The owner came out, apologized for the wait, then brought us mango ice cream on the house. Definitely will be back! Also, I felt very safe with the covid precautions they were taking. I would recommend making reservations due to the limit seating available. read more
