Speaking as a Thai native, I can attest that the food here is remarkably authentic, and my top picks, Boat noodles soup and Crab fried rice, are absolutely mouthwatering. I mean every dish we ordered was consistently delicious, with perfectly sized portions, and the service was exceptional, making this restaurant highly recommendable.
This place was great went here after Knotts great like mom and pop shop! We sat down our waitress was really friendly and nice. Lots of options to pick from everything looked good so we ordered a lot! Thai iced tea was great! Mango sticky rice was great the chicken paid Thai was yummy too! The restaurant was clean service was quick food came out fresh and hot also yummy! No complaints except you should try this place if you haven’t been!
Nice and clean family business! Only tried the pad Thai but definitely coming back to try all the other affordable items.
In the area for business so trying this place for the 1st time. Ordered Pad Keep Mow with pork. The taste is alright. Price is alright. Portion I think it's a little bit on the smaller side. They don't give you a lot of meat. I ate the whole thing and still not full. Overall it's average place.
Spicy seafood soup really great...
Delicious. We will be back.

Great food, friendly service
It's a good little mom and pop Thai food place that is kind of a hole in the wall. Eat here.
Love this place. Their Tangerine chicken and spicy fried rice are the best!
Good food everyone is kind
We tried their boat noodle soup and it was surprisingly, very tasty. The soup was exactly as it should be; dark, pungent, and spicy. Delicious! We also tried the rad nah noodle and both dishes were delicious. Will definitely be back again.

Excellent food, affordable prices. My favorite Thai food place. Great staff. The Lady that works name Bee is super nice and friendly. Thank you so much Bee, many blessings ♥️🙏🏽
Tasty food but terrible phone manners if you place your order by phone and if you happen to get serviced by Brandon! He is such an ass! So disrespectful, rude and condescending. No customer service skills! I told him to tone it down or I would be stopping by personally to speak with the owner and he brushed me off and said, So do you still want the order or not?! Trying to get me off the phone so I hung up on him and I won't be returning there again!
Food is great, wait is long. Phone just ring and rings. I always have to call multiple times to place an order.
Always order here,the food is fresh,the favor is also good,and they give hardy portions, try it if u like Thai food!!!
Food here is amazing but the customer service sucks big fat monkey.... for some reason my receipt did not match my order. And when I called up to inquire they simply told me there was nothing they could do because of my receipt.
I will never eat at this place ever again.
I ordered Pad se Ew here with mango and sticky rice from Doordash. They decided to substitute my mango with sticky rice for Thai custard with sticky rice (looks like yellow slop - see photos) without calling and notifying me. I called the restaurant to tell them they should call and tell their customers if they do not have an item in stock (mango) and to not substitute the item in case they don't want it. The lady said I couldn't find your contact number and I said it is done online and through Doordash which has instructions and numbers on there. She preceeded to say well you can call Doordash in the middle of me telling her that for future customers she should inform them of any changes to their orders not just change the order. Then she goes thanks for your business and hangs up!
RUDE customer service! The food is not all that great and the way you treat your customers is unprofessional. I do not recommend anyone to do business here.
Great food and customer service. Love this place.

That's it just 3 stars, I can always count on this place for Thai food, it's not the greatest but, the flavors are always consistent with me.
Takeout is always best ,
(as if we have a choice) due to small spaces, and you may just end up in a walkway..
Other than that I can't complain about anything else.
Pricing is about average for places like this and portion sizes are abundant.
I would definitely go again.
Delicious
Me and my wife always choose this restaurant. By far the best thai food in town, i was born in bangkok and this place reminds me of home.
So good real traditional
Best red curry soup I have ever eaten.
Never again..
Grat food.
Food was fresh and tasted great. Definitely recommended!
Great food at a reasonable price. Seating is limited so I recommend take out.
Nice little hole in the wall Thai restaurant. I walked in and was greeted warmly. I sat down and ordered. Had to get my go to pad kee mao to see how it compares to others. Overall it was good especially when you consider the price of 9. I could have done without the few pieces and lettuce and tomato slices. Overall I was pleased and will return.
Great Tai food excellent prices!!! Very clean
Amazing!!!!
Started thinking about what to write for a review and now I'm hungry. It's that good.
Love it and they deliver ...quickly.
Just left from that place... Everything was going great until I found a worm in the chicken curry. Disgusting!!!
Very good service ,but the food flavor not so much convincing,affordable prices , and very small dinner space
Enjoyed dinner here with my beautiful gf last night. The portions are just right, service was on point, and the food was delicious! The Thai Peppers with fish sauce, elevates their delicious dishes to the next level.
Nice place, good food, ok portion size, great service.
This place was perfect for my first time trying Thai food. The food was superb, the employees were very friendly and welcoming and were happy to answer any of my questions, and the Thai tea was delicious. I wish I could give them more stars!
I've been coming here for quite some. too many favorites here but at least once every two weeks period it's my special treats my will continue as long as they're around. But try the yum woon sen, bbq combo, original Thai fried rice. Just saying
Place was great. Got the Yellow Curry and it was almost perfect and amazing. The only thing that could have been a bit better was spice level. They have mild medium and hot. I got the medium and there really wasn't much of a kick to it. I should've gotten the hot. Anyways definitely authentic and great place to eat.
Great place, great food with reasonable price.
Really good food, I personally really like the green curry. The service could be better though. I really love the food (:
Excellent Thai food and a great selection at affordable prices
Delicious food and generous boss. If you miss Asian food when you traveling, you must come to eat it.
非常好吃的泰式炒麵、炒飯,一定要來試試喔,最重要的是老闆娘很大方、很大方。
How can you go wrong with Thai food?
The flavors, the spiciness, the fragrant long-grain rice.....
Yum-O!
