We would have walked out but figured we put in the time. Waiter never came back for water or anything. Told us once that the food is on the way. The entrees were brought out in segments. One order was not received. Simply forgot. The others were horrible. The smoked meat sandwich was all fat. The bun was partially thawed. The others couldn't even eat their entrees. Absolutely horrible service and food. Avoid if possible!

I really like all the variety of dishes they have. I am happy to say I have found my local place in Rock Island! The only thing I recommend is to check when you pay extra for avocado.

The steak itself was good, but I honestly didn't understand the cold liquid/oil it was served floating in. It took away from the dish and was not something I expected.

With so many menu items unavailable and the food not being particularly memorable, I don't feel the experience was worth the price

I'll admit I was a little bit disappointed with the experience. The ambiance is very nice. The restaurant was in the downtown area very close to the mississippi river. There seemed to be a lot happening at the other establishments.In the area. The service was efficient , although we weren't a big fan of our server. One of the things that bothered me was when our bill came and they have those handheld machines that cash you out , the server stood over the top of us waiting to see how much gratuity we were gonna apply to our check. That's one thing that should never be done in a nicer place. The food was decent. The brussels sprout salad was absolutely fantastic. We ordered four different entrees. The swordfish , the salmon , lamb meatballs and a pasta dish. All came out hot looking really nice and had multiple components. Some of the dishes lacked seasoning and the overall wow factor. The bill came out to $240 with one salad , four entrees and five alcoholic drinks. Very reasonable fo four people at a nice place. We didn't order dessert, but I would've liked to try the cheesecake.

The pork cracklings were a little odd, and I felt that they didn't really add much, but I'm assuming that its consistent with traditional Thai presentation and I was hungry and portion thoroughly filled me up. My family also enjoyed many of the other dishes as well. Also the staff are awesome and remember you. This was a good version of this dish, and packed a punch! Lots of places are afraid to make it spicy when requested, but this was wonderful and was full of spice! The food was very delicious and filling and perfect for cold weather comfort. And also I love all of their drinks, everything I've eaten here has been the best, and the wait staff. Highly recommended. Very Delicious Food. Great service...!!!! read more

Really their chicken satay was amazing though. My wife loves their peanut sauce here. Service was great too...!!So authentic! We were visiting from Chicago and so glad we found this spot!!! The spice level here is not for the faint of heart. The food tended to be on the spicier end even though the menu indicated otherwise. This menu had a variety of delicious vegan & carnivorous options! They have a menu with Japanese, Thai & Korean fusion options....! Also We ordered a minced chicken dish with veggies, and the lemon grass grilled salmon. Both were amazing...! Definitely would recommend..!! Very friendly and fast lunch service.

She was so patient and kind to us, and I can tell that she was enthused to tell us about the different dishes. Just by looking at the menu I could tell the Thai food here was different from what's served in my city, so I was even more excited to try it. I ordered the Tom yum goong and it was amazing!!! Everything was fresh and the shrimp and egg was perfectly cooked. The combination of the ingredients were perfectly balanced in the dish and I enjoyed EVERY bite.
