    Pad Thai
    Sydney H.

    This thai place is in downtown Columbia & walkable from a lot of different apartments, but also located right next to a parking garage in case you're coming from further away. It's pretty small on the inside & seems like more of a take-out place. I got the pad thai which was pretty good, but a little dry. I wish there was a little more sauce on it. The tofu that came on it was really crispy & had a good flavor, not too plain. It also came with a lot of peanuts on top, that was my favorite part. Be careful when you tell them a spiciness level. I told them 1 (on a scale of 10) and it was still *almost* too spicy for my preference. Last thing is that the portions are HUGE!! I got 3 meals out of mine, so you defiantly get your moneys worth. Excited to go back and try more things!!

    Great Thai restaurant. Very affordable especially during their lunch specials. I got their 4/5 spice level and it was perfect for me! Would highly recommend anyone to try it out especially for the portion size and the price. Took about 10 minutes to be served and it is mostly a takeout restaurant with a small indoor/outdoor eating area as well.

    Casual place for delicious Thai food. Very reasonably priced. There are a few tables for indoor seating. It is a small place, but nice and clean. The person who took the orders was pleasant. No liquor but offers soda and Thai tea. Fairly generous portions. We ordered the pork eggrolls which came with 3 egg rolls. Pretty good. The dumplings are fried and had 4 pieces. I thought those were OK. Not my favorite menu item. Everything else we ordered was pretty flavorful. We had the Thai fried rice with chicken, pad c ew with beef, and then stirfry garlic chicken. Highly recommend for casual but delicious Thai food.

    THIS IS NOT AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD

    Completely disappointed. Ordered the drunken noodles and got greasy unauthentic lo mein. I have had lots of Thai food and this place is a sham. Not sure what the hype is about. Prices are high and portions not good. PLUS COMPLETELY UNAUTHENTIC.

    One of the best Thai restaurants in Columbia! Came here around 2:30PM it was very chill. Servers were very courteous and attentive, food was amazing. I had ordered the Red Curry Fried Rice with pork and my husband ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken. Both were amazing, we ended up sharing both plates and just eating both simultaneously. Their Thai Tea is amazing and their Green Thai Tea is so delicious! The location doesn't have a designated parking lot so you will have to park off ninth street or off elm and take a short walk, but it is definitely worth it.

    A2-2 Curry Rangoons (4pcs).  SN2. Pad C-Ew with fried tofu, spice level 3/5, and nuts.  Iced Thai Tea (I bought two they were so delicious).

    This spot was so cute and the staff was amazing. She recommended my whole order to me and I was not disappointed at all. My order was cheap but not bad at all. Definitely coming back for that Thai tea and curry ragoons tomorrow! Thank you all so much.

    Yum, yum! We went out of our way while traveling across MO on 70. Would totally stop again to satisfy the Thai craving.

    Normally I love this place, but today's experience wasn't so great…read more No ice for the fountain soda, no lid for my drink. The person taking my order didn't ask what spice level I would like. I ordered pad se ew, and my stir-fried noodle dish came out with not very many noodles at all. Despite all this, the food did have a good flavor. I wanted a refill on another lidless, iceless soda, but the staff was chatting in the back, and I didn't feel it was worth the effort to have to wave them down. I paid $20 for this super disappointing experience - times are tough, but noodles are cheap.

    The place is decorated kinda cute - and the robot that delivers your food is pretty neat. But the…read moreThai dishes - though ok - they don't pack the real good traditional flavors of Thai food. - Thai fried rice was fairly bland in nature. - bbq pork fried rice was quite sweet and way on the sweet side. I did like all the sprouts they had in the dish. - sticky sweet chicken wings - these were pretty good and great exterior. But they are on the definite sweet side. - steamed dumplings - they're ok but filling was a bit meh. - curry noodle dish....wasnt mine but I tried it. It wasn't too bad and was the closest true rational Thai dish they had. Service...as we were the only ones in the place and (1) other lady....so very slow. And when the food did come out....things like our appetizers...were all quite cold. Obvious things mis-timed coming out. Or, the appetizers didn't come out as appetizers...but with the main entree items. All and all....not my favorite place by any means. I wouldn't choose to go back - but if I had to go eat there with someone else - I would - I just wouldn't intentionally choose to eat here.
