    Nice lil' Burmese/Thai joint on South Calhoun... Family owned, friendly service, and good food at a reasonable cost.

    Bermese coconut noodle soup. Had at least 1cm of oil layer on top - felt pretty greasy.

    Small restaurant in an unexpected area :) I recently fell in love with Burmese coconut noodle soup dish, so I'm trying it everywhere I find it. In compare to some other restaurants, their coconut soup was super oily, and I felt that the egg noodle used in the dish didn't marry well with the soup either- 3 star. Their Bermese noodle salad was really good though(5 star). I order the food togo, and I received a friendly service over the phone, and I can tell they put care into packaging up the food, so 4 stars for overall experience.

    Coconut Noodle Soup

    Now this is a place that has perfected their specialties over the years! Ft. Wayne is so lucky to have such a great Burmese/Thai restaurant in the city. I saw this place listed on the top 25 Burmese restaurants on Yelp the other day and knew I had to go visit it asap! This was my first time trying this place out but my brother has door dashed from it many times. So the exterior (and interior) are nothing special. I mean, the parking lot is a war zone. The service is also nothing special, although they do try. The highlight is definitely the food. We ordered samosas, Burmese noodles, and Burmese coconut chicken soup to split between us. We didn't need to order the samosas as they weren't anything special, but they were hot! The Burmese main dishes were where the party was at! The noodles had this fantastic peanut sauce I'm still dreaming about and the coconut milk base of the soup was delicious, thick, and filled with chicken and noodles and a nice heaping helping of cilantro. The prices were incredible - only 28 bucks to feed us both, including an appetizer. Make sure to make your way to spot if you're in the area!

    Seafood glass noodles

    Mildly recently I was in Fort Wayne for a rotation (I'm so bad about posting as I'm at a place) and my goodness why did no one tell me they had so many great restaurants! One of my favorites was this wonderful Burmese/Thai restaurant that was exactly what was needed on a cold day. Pulling up it was definitely a small and close space and we definitely almost missed it lol. It was pretty clean and put together though. Our waiter was nice and funny. But onto the food. Coconut noodle soup (kinda like ohn no kauk swe if you've ever had that but with a heavy coconut flavor; man it was packed with flavor and really warmed me up) Glass noodles with seafood (I think this was a special because I can't find it on the menu anymore, but the seafood tasted amazing and the noodles were cooked to perfection) Pad Thai (no explanation needed here. A very popular dish done well and with some heat if you ask for it. Plate was licked clean) Pad siew (another no explanation dish. Something about these wide fat noodles really does it for me, but that beautiful sauce coated every piece of that noodle and it was a delight to eat) I highly recommend visiting this little hole in the wall. Wonderful food! Per usual I posted pictures, but the Yelp app doesn't always love me so if they're not showing up just head to @holi_ravi_oli on IG

    Shrimp roll
    Dale B.

    It's been several years since we have been here. However they still do an outstanding job. The facilities have not changed. They are very simple. On this occasion...it felt uncomfortable that carry out patrons were standing in the aisle next to our table while we were eating. It's a Covid kind of thing. The waiter was outstanding. He isn't very verbal or outgoing. However he was very kind and demonstrated a reverent servants heart. You could see this in how he served dishes to you and refilled your drinks. He even walked you to the door and opened the door for you. Very nice!! We started with the shrimp rolls. These were fried wrappers filed with shrimp and a creamy filling. The rolls were crispy. The shrimp filled the whole roll. The sweet and sour sauce was homemade...a little thicker and spicy than you usually get. My wife had the pad Thai noodles with chicken. She really liked it. I had the pad woon sen noodles with beef. The veggies were fresh. The beef was tender and moderately plentiful. I ordered a medium heat. I really didn't detect much heat. Still a great place to try. They are open until 10pm now.

    Pad Khee Mao

    It was our first time here today. The food is fantastic and the price pint can't be beaten! I got the pad khee mao, spicy with extra beef and it was wonderful! It was flavorful, with well cooked vegetables and lots of beef. The noodles were well cooked. It left a pleasant tingle of heat. I didn't get a picture before I started eating- apologies. My boyfriend had the pad Thai with chicken and medium spice level. He's not the best with heat and said "it's got a bit of a kick but it's perfect." The portions were pleasingly sized and the Thai tea was a fantastic accompaniment. We'll absolutely be back!

    Chicken Nuggets
    Daniel W.

    The first time I came here was February 2022 as a friend introduced me to their menu. There was a little difference with service as I gotten to try a different restaurant. I tried their fried rice and other sides as a courtesy. I am here again and tried their chicken nuggets. The people were friendly but hard to understand their language. It would be a good atmosphere to see what this restaurant will become in the near future.

    Samosas, beef pad Thai, and the complimentary soups!
    Amy L.

    Hole in the wall place with DELICIOUS food and the sweetest owner. Came here with my fiancé on a cold winter evening as we were passing through on the way to Purdue. From the outside, in the dark, the place looked eery and unsafe. But don't let that deter you! As soon as we entered we were greeted and seated by the owner. We ordered the samosa appetizer and pad thai dishes. Their entrees come with a homemade soup (scallions, vermicelli) and even though we only ordered one entree, the owner brought us each a bowl of soup :') Samosa apps were your standard curry potato fillings deep fried. Delicious, hot, and gets your appetite going. The pad thai noodles though were the highlight of the night. Portions are HUGE - we couldn't even finish between the two of us on top of the individual starter soups and appetizer. Noodles had the right amount of chew, sauce was the perfect amount, and honestly the only detail I missed was that they don't give you a wedge of lime or lemon with these noodles. I'm sure you could probably ask though. The nice thing about locally owned spots = the amount of flexibility and personalization the owners will put into your food to make your experience as satisfying as possible. TLDR; outstanding food in the most unexpected of places. Come through!

    This is Nan Kyi Thout Salad and Pad Gra Prao with chicken they were both fantastic my wife and I both enjoyed it.

    This one of my favorite places to come to. One of the many reason is because as soon as it opens it's ready to serve everything on the menu. The customer service is delightful. The food was ready in a short while. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves Asians cuisine.

    I've been eating Mahnin's food since before she opened this place. Her Pad Thai and Pad Ka Pao are my two favorite.

    Delicious Thai food, the red curry was phenomenal with a subtle sweetness we loved. The drunken…read morenoodle was good with the addition of some basil we had at home. The peanut sauce wit the chicken satay was incredible. Glad that this unassuming place in Leo Crossing brings good Thai to the fort. We will get takeout again!

    This is a nice little place to try for Thai food if you are out north of Fort Wayne in the Leo…read morearea. There isn't many Thai choices there. This restaurant is set in a small strip mall. Not too hard to find with plenty of parking. The place is moderately large and can accommodate a group of 6-8 pretty well. The inside is decorated nicely to fit the Thai flair. Things were clean, orderly and food repairable for a small shop. Don't be alarmed if dishes sit on tables unbused for a while. It appears that they only have one waitress/host/bus person. Things sat a long while on this busy visit. The menu is fairly large and has many of your standard Thai dishes. The prices were reasonable. You feel like you got a good value as the portion sizes were decent and most things came with soup. The soup was your standard. Not much to distinguish the taste. It was pleasant, warm and tasty. I started with the Tod Mon Goon - which is basically a mashed shrimp patty that is fried. The shrimp tasted fresh and had a nice consistency for smashed shrimp. It was moist. The beading was nice and thick and fried to a perfect crisp. Just enough crisp to know that it was fried. But it did have a slightly heavy oily taste. The breading was thick enough to hold the shrimp together. The white sauce was very tasty. I thought it would be a tropical-coconut flavor. It seemed to be a Mayo tule sauce with a slight fruity flavor. You really couldn't distinguish the flavors. It had a thick consistency and nicely accented the dried shrimp! My entree was the Tom Yum seafood bowl. The bowl was large and contained a decent amount of shrimp, crab pieces, calamari and a couple mussels. All were gently cooked as they were boiled in the broth. The broth started out mild and got progressively hotter in spice taste. The broth was tasty enough to spoon up or pour onto the small rice dish provided. The tomatoes, mushrooms and lemon grass were nice accents to the seafood. Together they all made an enjoyable taste! In general the atmosphere here is very relaxed. We were comfortable in the booths. The waitress let us talk as long as we wanted. Overall a pretty good dining experience.
