I am glad that this restaurant was able to survive COVID, considering it was empty anytime I went by. As far as ambiance, they have definitely updated the place in the past few years and it is also pretty clean and calming. The staff is also nice and fast paced. I believe it may be family-owned, as I usually see one of their kids sitting at the tables. As far as what I usually get, I split appetizers and desserts with others, which is what I recommend since the meals are quite big. I recommend the fried spring rolls and fried tofu. Both are crisp to perfection and have great sauce pairings. There is no other spot in town that compares to this or their mango sticky rice. For the entrees, I usually get simple sweet and sour chicken, and it is great. I love their sauce, and I love having leftovers. I do wish their pricing was cheaper, but usually Thai food is more expensive here. I wish them the best.

I used to go here way more often before they shut down for a while and revamped it. Glad the fish tank is still there. I usually get quite a few things and split them with whoever I am with or take them home as leftovers. For appetizers, I recommend the fried tofu and the spring rolls. Both come out quickly, have great flavors, and I love the sauce pairings. For my entree, I typically get sushi. I love trying their fun special rolls and usually try a new one each time. I will say, a lot of their rolls have been misses for me. I do not love all rolls here equally. If I were to recommend some to those starting out in sushi, try the sweet potato, vegetable roll, and volcano roll. These are all great, lower in calories, and come out quickly as well. For those who are okay spending more or trying fun rolls, try the house special or the Santa. These are some of my all-time favorites. I have even tried the cashew/nut curry here and really enjoyed it as well. Almost everything I still get is just as amazing as when I first tried the restaurant. The staff is also always nice, and it is always very clean and moodily lit. My last recommendation is to only go on Tuesdays or Thursdays! This place is not cheap, so doing that can help you save a lot of money.

This place is awesome! The service is absolutely amazing--definitely 5 stars. The generosity of the staff is also 5 stars, and the food, oh man, is definitely 5 stars. The price, though a bit high, is 100% worth it. Don't let the price or the atmosphere prevent you from coming here. If you ever need a treat, go here now! The portions are enough to feed two people, even if you order just one dish. The service is quick, and you can't say it's slow considering how good the food and speed are. It's just outstanding. I think this place is well-deserving of 5 stars! read more

The PPC had an exceptional flavor, I mean it was sweet, spicy, savory and crunchy! HOWEVER, we could not figure what parts of the chicken it was made from.
