    Entrance and outdoor seating
    Vicky B.

    Came back for lunch today and had a wonderful experience. Our waiter was friendly and checked on us frequently. For an appetizer I ordered crab rangoon which had a good amount of filling and was absolutely delicious. For an entree I ordered the pa ram which was beautifully plated and also very flavorful and delicious. We enjoyed everything and look forward to coming back again!

    This is a cute restaurant on Main Street next to Daemon University in a small plaza. I had a break and decided to look for a place nearby. This was recommended. I looked through the menu and decided on the ground pork basil dish, one of my favorite Thai dish, so it was a good one to try. I picked the 2 stars spicy, which is just about right. It was about 1:30 pm, past the prime lunch time but they still have quite a few tables. There was just one server, so it a took little to get the menu and to get served. Parking is right in front of the restaurant.

    Super clean restaurant with great service. Ambiance is very welcoming. Food is amazing.

    the service and food here is amazing! highly recommend the outdoor seating if dining in if the weather allows it. I ordered the pad thai (it was not too dry) and my friend got the pad kra pow and moo ping as appetizer to share. the sauce for this was amazing. food came out fast and our server was super attentive.

    This restaurant is very clean and it felt like I was eating at a fine dining place. The waiter was quick and friendly! The Pud see ew with chicken was amazing. Lots of fresh vegetables and chicken was in the dish. I loved the sauce on it too.

    BEST ASIAN FOOD IN BUFFALO. GREAT SERVICE AMAZING FOOD CUTE BAR AND INTERIOR they have menu options for anyone's taste - whether you want something fully authentic or slightly American fusion. I'm Asian and I can say their curry is the BEST in Buffalo. The crab Rangoon was so light and creamy, I dream about it sometimes. Thai iced tea was very sweet but more tea flavor than other places in buffalo. Super friendly staff who seem to know each other and get along.

    Quick service, food came out amazing. 2nd time eating Thai food. I was impressed. I got the Thai fried rice with beef and a Tsing Tao beer. Everything was fairly priced except for the drinks. The beer on the menu say $7 ... BUT those prices are wrong! I got my receipt back and the beer was actually $8! I thought $7 was pretty expensive for a bottled lager beer. It was a good beer but not that great of a beer. Amazing food tho! Will definitely be back, just not for beer.

    Pad Thai chicken

    What a wonderful Thai restaurant! Came here over the weekend with two girl friends and had the best time. The spring rolls and crab Rangoon starters were great, followed by a beautiful display of pad Thai. And yes it was just as delicious as it was beautiful. Will definitely be returning!

    The set up for the restaurant is super cute. It's a surprisingly quaint place. The ragoons were delicious, but unfortunately I found that the other dishes relied too much on garlic. I love garlic, but this would've been enough to kill an entire vampire coven. I wanted to enjoy it more than I did, but it was just overwhelming and blew out any other flavor. It has potential, but I was disappointed.

    Hi, anyone aware about gf options?

    Call them! Their English is excellent, as is their Burmese and Thai!

    Can anything be made gluten free here or is anything already gluten free? Thanks

    Yes !! But make sure you let the server know !! Thank you

    Hello, are there any vegan options?

    You can probably ask for the noodle dishes to be made vegan. I asked if the Pud See Ew could be made vegetarian for me, and my server said yes, and checked that I was okay with tofu and eggs.

    Do they have dessert?

    We have chocolate peanut butter pie Matcha green tea cheesecake Flourless chocolate cake…

My server clearly understands the importance of caring friendly service and he treated me as a valued guest. The dining room is comfortable and quiet, which is perfect for dining conversations or just checking email if you are dining like I was. I will admit that the room has aged a bit but it's still clean and pleasant. My Tom Kha soup had a tasty broth and was filled with chicken. The Pad Kee Mao lacked "spiciness" even though it is described as "stir fried spicy flat rice noodles in chili sauce" and I asked for medium heat. However it tasted great but I know it would be even better with heat. So, my update still rewards 5 stars and if you are looking for Thai this is a great option?

Hard working people working in this restaurant as we could see as we peaked in the kitchen on our way out the door. Small place with huge menu. Decisions, decisions on just what to order. Hubby chose the shrimp bento box. He enjoyed. I ended up with the Tom Kar soup and california rolls. I loved the soup. And it was the good kind of california rolls...not the fake crab stick...the salad style (see my pic). The decor is quirky and kind of a no frills type place. Nothing fancy or high end by any stretch. Quite a few tables occupied, and lots of takeout orders. Seems the word is out that they have delicious food. I do recommend if you want your sushi fix.

Well, of course my husband and I had to try it and what better place to get our food from than Teton. Because we needed a lot, and definitely had left overs, we went with the love boat for 2 all variety of fish for $69.00, as well as two tuna handrolls. I love their tuna handrolls. They are scrumptious. Teton is great for gluten free people and they modify to make sure everything is good to go. There was so much food. The sushi and the rolls were great and fresh. The ordering process online is extremely easy, even when you are ordering with a dietary restriction. If you want quality fish, go here. Taka, the owner, is great. Do something different, order some takeout and play homemade battleship with your spouse or a friend.

I was seated and immediately served complimentary tea, and fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. I ordered the Kung Pao lunch special which comes with a choice of egg roll or soup, and white or vegetable friend rice. I chose the wonton soup and fried rice, and I ordered an egg roll as well. The egg roll came out quickly, and the lunch special was served right when I finished that. The food was good and the dish was spicy (Kung Pao is supposed to be spicy but it never is-- not for me) and the service was polite. When the check came it was accompanied by a plate with two slices of orange and a fortune cookie. The only thing I didn't like about the visit was that there was an advertisement for a big commercial law firm on the back of the fortune slip and the "lucky number" was the phone number. I thought that was tacky. I walked out at 1:15pm. Great, quick lunch.

And a lunch menu. Wow! I just gave my receipt another look and the people are nicer than I thought. I thought they were pleasant, friendly, happy we were there, concerned that we would enjoy our visit. The lunch menu offerings were each $10.95 and included eggroll OR soup, and white or vegetable fried rice. Daughter ordered the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus an appetizer order of steamed dumplings. I ordered Eggplant with Pork in Garlic sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus a small bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. The soup on the appetizer menu was $3.95. My receipt shows the server put the soup as my lunch choice and charged $2.95 for the eggroll. She never said a word, didn't point out that I could save a dollar by switching the sides around. So the people are all I thought plus kind and conscientious. Marvelous. I was delighted with everything I ate. The entree was enough for two, so supper came home with me. The eggroll was fresh and crisp and non-greasy, seemed homemade. Excellent. The eggplant was perfectly prepared and cooked, as was the pork. Delicious. The hot and sour soup was easily one of the best I've had, and I'm always looking for a great hot and sour soup. Coming from downtown Buffalo, we'd been in Williamsville because I had an appointment on Essjay Rd. Afterward, we looked for a place to have lunch before shopping. Finding Golden Hill at 4001 Sheridan Dr. in Amherst was pure serendipity. You can bet, though, that I will visit again after next appointment.
