    Deep fried cod dish with steamed broccoli
    Rika M.

    The best I can give this place is 3 stars based on last night's dining experience. And it was mostly based on the service. It looked quite ambient as we walk up. Once inside, it looked cute as well. We did see matching decors throughout the restaurant. People were welcoming. We were immediately sat. The menu has a large selection of food. They have a separate menu for drinks (they were calling it the wine list but I am pretty sure they have other types of drinks.) I saw a display of wine bottles near the register which I walked up and looked at. From the famous budget brands to somewhat high end, the selection seemed good (however, we didn't have any drinks.) I had the (deep fried) cod dish ($29) and he had the (coconut) green curry with chicken. Whereas I found my dish fair (or decent; although the broccoli was a little too done or mushy), his green curry was below satisfactory. The chicken was extremely low quality kind and was very chewy. The curry was watery without distinct flavors. Meh!! Unfortunately, the current rating of 4.5 stars was undoubtedly misleading or misguiding. Well, we were in Kennewick for a quick overnight stay so I don't think we will ever have to eat here. End of story....

    We dined in for dinner. We loved the atmosphere with the nice table cloths and plates at the tables. Food is served family style. All the food we got was great. Chicken satay, pot stickers, pork pad Thai and Thai tea. The service was outstanding as well. Very attentive and friendly

    Server was knowledgeable about menu and spice levels which was very helpful. Food arrived in a timely manner. Lots of seating availability. Tables not booths. Clean and presentable. Decent pricing, serving amount could be bigger.

    Absolutely delicious! I have been wanting to try this place ever since I moved to the area and I was not disappointed! I have tried many Thai restaurants and want to say this became one of my new favorites because it feels authentic. Very tasty dishes and perfect size portions. The restaurant is quaint and charming. Service was great- staff was on top of it and very attentive. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend!

    Food: 4 Decor: 2…read moreService: 4 My go-to spot for dinner in the Tri Cities area. I came here at least once a week for several months, so I've tried most of the dishes on their menu. Overall, solid mom and pop Thai restaurant and would definitely return. My go-to would be a papaya salad, chicken satay, and a main dish with an occasional mango sticky rice. Fresh avocado Rolls Rice wrap with fresh avocado, fresh vegetables and rice noodle. Served with hoisin and peanut sauce 4/5. Very large, tasty avocado rolls filled with lots of veg. Chicken Satay Marinated white chicken meat with yellow curry powder and coconut milk. Served with cucumber salad and peanut sauce 4/5. Tasty satay. One of my go-to orders. Papaya Salad Green papaya, green beans, tomatoes and ground peanuts mixed with lime juice and special garlic sauce 4/5. Very tasty. One of my go-to orders with spice level 3. Keemao Noodle Wide rice noodles, egg, sweet chili, special sauce, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, carrots, basil, tomatoes and bamboo shoots 3/5. Panang Curry Bell pepper and basil 3/5. Delicious Eggplant Eggplant, bell peppers, onions, carrots, basil and chili sauce 3/5. Healthy Garden Broccoli, celery, cabbage, carrots and bean sprouts 3/5. Ka Prou Gai Kai Dow Ground chicken sautéed with bell peppers, garlic, green beans, basil top with fried egg 4/5. Tasty well-seasoned ground chicken with nice heat. Three Flavors mujcha Deep fried Tilapia top with three favors sauce. Cook with bell pepper, garlic, broccoli and onion 3/5. Service is always friendly.

    I like this quaint and a bit out of the way restaurant. We started with the avocado spring rolls…read more(usually your find meat or tofu options) so this was going to be a treat. But trying to find the smidgen bit of avocado was like finding a needle in a haystack. I won't order that agin unless I can see the slice of avocado protruding out of the lettuce. our main was Pad Thai for me & green curry with broccoli for my partner. The flavors were outstanding. While we weren't greeted at the door and seated ourselves the friendly wait staff was jolly on the spot with menus and returned in short order to take our order.
