Incredible fresh hot soup, perfectly flavored entrees!

Diner Review №4

The staff is friendly and quick. If you have questions, they have or will get you answers. The food is savory and filling. They have many options. It's a quiet little spot and is worth the experience.

Diner Review №5

Highly recommend this restaurant! My first time dining at Puukaow and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Paanang Curry and Pad Thai and both dishes were exceptional. Flavorful. When they ask you what spice level and you prefer ‘spicy’ stick with either a 3-4 spice level. Egg rolls are a must! One order comes with (4) pieces. Good food!

Diner Review №6

The tom yum was to die for, coconut milk soup incredible, and very tasty pad thai! Wonderful service as well. 10/10 would recommend 😍

Diner Review №7

I asked for the extreme spiciness, and they delivered! My new favorite Thai place, and the service was top notch. 🤌

Diner Review №8

Diner Review №14

Wow, the food and staff are outstanding. I have a new favorite local spot. I can see becoming a regular visitor.

Diner Review №15

Quite little place with great food! Definitely try the Wanton soup appetizer it was sssoooo good. The husband had the lunch special, and it was so good I had the sidewalk noodles with beef spice level 2 it was fantastic! We can't wait to go back again and try more

Diner Review №16

Food was excellent! Fried calamari was great with the sauce, fried tofu was crispy on the outside without being hard, and the drunken noodles were delicious! I got them at a 4/5 heat, which is comparable to buldak hot ramen as far as temperature goes. Will definitely be going again!

Diner Review №17

The best thia food I have ever had. Soooo good!

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

The "greeter" guy at the entrance has worse customer service skills than a thrift store mannequin. And he is lousy at pretending not to see waiting customers Sorry. The food is great but bad customer service is a deal breaker.

Diner Review №20

Puukaow Thai is one of Pueblo's best kept secrets. Absolutely INCREDIBLE food with the ability to veganize just about everything and tailor the spice of each dish to anyone's liking.

Friendly service, we go almost weekly!

Diner Review №21

Absolutely the best Thai restaurant outside Thailand! Above and beyond delicious. And extremely vegan and GF friendly.

Diner Review №22

THE BEST THAI in Colorado!!

Diner Review №23

I have tried items across the menu and "specialty" board and literally everything is great. The staff remembers you on repeat visits, is bubly, and accommodating. Puukaow makes dining in PW a look-forward-to experience!

Diner Review №24

I’ve literally never left a review… like ever. But I felt the need to for this place. The food is sooo incredible fresh, the service is amazing, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. I get the healthy fried rice usually but tried a few other options with my family like the pad Thai, spring rolls, some sort of spicy shrimp, and sticky rice for dessert. When I say every single item was delicious I am not kidding. Even my picky toddler loved the pad Thai. Can’t say enough good things. If you haven’t been here before it’s 100% a must!

Diner Review №25

THE WORST! We have been here before and the food was actually pretty decent but today we were the only ones in the establishment. My wife ordered the fried softshell crab which was cut into 4 pieces. My wife bit into it and it was frozen, gross juices pouring out. We stated what happened and the server stated he could reheat it but obviously my wife did not want it and we ordered something else. When it was time for the check the waiter stated he took a percentage off but he would have to charge us, even though the establishment messed up. This is not an establishment we will go back to! Make sure if you go, that you know what you are getting into! It’s not about the money it’s the way they treat their customers, we were treated like we did something wrong when this establishment obviously does not care about the food, how they serve it and how they treat people that come in to get something good to eat which this place does not have! DO NOT COME HERE unless you want some BS service/ Food. Spend your money elsewhere! # still hungry

Diner Review №27

I went at a little after 5pm. There were two other tables of guests at the time. I asked for some hot tea and the server told me they were out of tea pots.. ?? ummm Never heard that before. So after awhile my sister asks for another glass of wine and the server told her she needed the wine glass because they were short wine glasses. My sister still had some wine in her glass and the server just wanted to 'top it off'. There were literally 5 tables occupied and only one other person was drinking wine.. Just wierd. We will never go back.

Diner Review №28

Great service,totally on point, kind, attentive, and genuine! Delicious food and so satisfying in all ways. Great heat, fresh ingredients, and an over all wonderful experience. Good vibes

Diner Review №29

The food is great, and the service is great. We like it Puukaow when we lived here 10-12 years ago, and they still rock! They are pricey, but food is great.

Diner Review №30

Their customer service is so good Patrick knows our order even when I forget. He reminds me how my husband usually likes his spice level etc. I’ve forgotten my debit card and they called me right away.

Diner Review №31

Amazing lunch. This is our second time eating here, super happy each time

Diner Review №32

The place now has exceptional service. Combine that with food, it's a go-to place. You are always welcomed in. Service makes a great meal exceptional.

It's always a culinary journey eating here. Foods pretty authentic. The Thai spicy level always opens everything up if you like it very spicy hot. I always love a spicy that brings tears to your eyes.

Diner Review №33

I eat lunch here quite often and Patrick is amazing. He looks like a heck of a worker and always remembers what I order. Thanks!

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Great thai experience, fresh food and very pleasant staff. Easy 5 stars!

Diner Review №36

It's a great spot. They always remember our order and it's always great homemade food

Diner Review №37

One of my favorite places to eat in Pueblo. Great food, fair prices and Pat is the man! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Diner Review №38

Very authentic delicious spot in Pueblo West. Loved the green curry and Thai beer selection.

Diner Review №39

Absolutely delicious! I would eat the leftovers out of their dumpster.

Diner Review №40

One nice server and good food! Treated horribly several times by three different servers but we go back for the food. Might just do pickup for now on. Too bad because we were telling all of our friends and family about this place.

Diner Review №41

Expensive, but worth it. Very tasty pad thai and curries. We usually order takeout, but have twice dined in and liked the atmosphere and friendliness of servers.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

From living in Denver, I have tried many, many Thai restaurants. Puukaow Thai takes the #1 spot for me.

Amazing customer service and by far the most authentic. I highly recommend the Chicken Skewers, Pad Thai, Tom Kha, Panang Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice. Don’t forget about the Mango Sticky Rice with Ice Cream for dessert (: Remember… choose spice level at your own discretion lol

I drive an hour to dine in or take out. I bring a thermal bag to keep it fresh when taking home!

Diner Review №44

Quaint place. Great food and service.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

This place is hands down the best thai food we have had in a long time. The pad thai was delicious, good portion and reasonable price. The level of heat was also spot on. I had a 1 since I can’t do too much heat. Will for sure be back!!

Diner Review №47

Best Thai restaurant in the Pueblo area.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Friendly staff, lots to choose from on the menu, and everything was tasty! Would definitely come back again!

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Best Thai around we love this place! The service is always as great as the food!

Diner Review №52

Such an amazing experience. So delicious and flavorful. Fair pricing. Everything was just so so good. Happy to have found this spot. We will definitely be returning again and sharing it with our friends. I ordered the ginger stir fry without spice (pregnant) and it was just perfect.

Diner Review №53

Delicious, authentic and one of the best Thai restaurants in Colorado! Sidewalk noodles were crazy good.

Diner Review №54

The BEST THAI FOOD EVER!!! I am never disappointed. The excellence is evident. A piece of joy and utter magnificence, enjoy!!! 🥰

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Coconut shrimp is a must every time

Diner Review №57

Looking for a new Thai place since moving here and found this one. The reviews are spot-on. We enjoyed some Pad Thai with medium heat and it was delicious. Chicken with Cashews came with some mild heat and it was perfect. The chicken was nice quality and the veggies were fresh. Green Curry Chicken was heavy on the squash and I'm used to some eggplant, but still tasty. We had to try the Sticky Rice with Mango and it was good. As it was mentioned by other reviewers it is not the place to go if you're in a hurry. We waited an hour for our food, but it was worth the wait. They are short staffed so make sure you're out to enjoy the experience and not in a rush. Everyone seemed really pleased with their food and the server was pleasant considering she was the only one there. The prices are a little high but the food is high quality. We will be back.

Diner Review №58

Amazing Curry! They remove the shrimp tails, so you don’t have to deal with them and that’s nice!

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Mussels in curry, way good

Diner Review №61

My Go-To for Thai. Love everything here. Have NEVER been disappointed. Great people, great food and always a smile.

Diner Review №62

I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant. It was good but to be honest didn't see the hype I heard from others. Good sauce. Shrimp extremely overcooked. The person I went with felt dish was bland. Service was very good.

Diner Review №63

Our first experience here was amazing! I get overwhelmed by big menus, and our waiter did an amazing job of asking us questions to help us pick a dish. We also had the sticky rice with green tea ice cream dessert, which was delicious. Great food and great service at an affordable price. We will be back!

Diner Review №64

Been going here for years because I’m never disappointed. I recommend the pad Thai, yellow curry and any of the soups! Great lunch special that comes with a small entree, spring roll and cup of soup. Friendly and fast service. The best restaurant in PW!

Diner Review №79

Awesome real Thai food! Take my words I should know I am married to a Thai and we are just visiting the States. Great staff clean place.

Diner Review №80

This is one Restaurant that we really enjoy. The food is always delicious, service is great and the staff is friendly and warm. We always love trying new dishes! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try something new!
The owners have updated the interior and now it is a nicer atmosphere!
The food is incredible!

Diner Review №81

This is by far my favorite restaraunt in Pueblo/PWest. The food is so authentic and is bursting with flavor and spices. I've never had a bad meal here, everything that I try is delicious. I suggest the sidewalk noodle bowl and of course the spring rolls but anything you get, you are sure to love. It's no wonder they have such positive reviews and high stars! If you enjoy rich flavor and delicious food, I highly suggest Puukaow!

Diner Review №82

This was my first time there. We went to have dinner for my son's birthday it was so awesome the food is so delicious I will go again I highly recommend this place

Diner Review №83

The food is superb the massaman curry is the best try it at a 2.5. Healthy fried rice is epic. The Pad Thai is delicious. They are allergy friendly and the staff is super knowledgeable about what's in each dish.

Diner Review №84

Supper food and great service. The young man that waited on us was outstanding. Flavorful food as spicey as you order it. We will be back

Diner Review №85

This place used to be a gem, but they changed their Massaman Curry recipe and now it's watered down and tastes like syrup. Would've been nice if they informed customers of this change. Disappointed and sad that I can't get my curry fix from this place anymore.

Diner Review №86

I love the red curry!!

Diner Review №87

Food was delicious and ready when they said it would be. The green curry could've used a little bit more chicken but other than that pretty solid.

Diner Review №88

Terrible service. Tried this place a year ago and never returned. Food was good but waiter was rude and passive aggressive.

Diner Review №89

Great food and service!

Diner Review №90

Very good food!

Diner Review №91

I get red curry 5star with combo meat and it's the best thing I've eaten in a while number 1 Pat.

Diner Review №97

Amazing food! The staff are very friendly.

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

I always get the same thing: Pad See Ewe with shrimp, medium heat and extra veggies. I'm from AZ where my favorite Thai place is and compare other restaurants to the one in Phoenix. So...for medium spice, it was too hot. Shrimp was overcooked. Veggies could have used 30 more seconds in the wok. Flavor was good and I ate it all. It just wasn't great.

Diner Review №100

Loooooooove! I go *everytime* I drive to peublo and get extras for the next day, too!

Diner Review №101

I came to this cute little place alone to eat and was skeptical at first but The service was excellent and the food tastes very authentic! since I had never been there before my waiter practically ordered for me by asking a few questions on what I liked ! I got the sidewalk noodles heat #3 it was delicious! I will be going back ! I gave it a four star only cause the tables are very close together so you eat very close to others.

Diner Review №102

Excellent service!! Stopped in for dinner and was served quick. Food and portions were great

Diner Review №103

We were visiting family here in Pueblo West, and they brought a group of us to Puukaow for dinner. We had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, very flavorful, from the appetizers to dessert. Our waiter was phenomenal, very attentive, funny, and informative. We all appreciated the 5 star service, and my only regret is that I'll have to wait until my next trip to Colorado to eat here again!

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

This is a spot we are weekly frequent flyers to. The menu is delicious in every aspect. I keep my heat around 2.5 to a 3. We love the staff as well.

Diner Review №107

Hands down best service Best Thai food in town!

Diner Review №108

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. By far the best place in Pueblo/Pueblo West for great food and atmosphere. The food and service is top notch. The owner is so friendly and remembers what you like and how you like it. This place really has a nice custom feel to it that makes you feel at home. I love coming here. The owner is the best. Always makes you feel comfortable and takes care of you. I love this place!

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Thai fried rice was absolutely delicious, and the portion size for the cost was perfect. Staff was super nice and even offered my husband a free Thai tea to try while he waited.

Diner Review №111

Good food and not overpriced. Their spicy food is actually spicy

Diner Review №112

This is the first time my friend and I have been in here. The service was good and the food was delicious. I ordered the curry chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. I will be coming back.

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Awesome vegetarian and Vegan options! Sooooo good! My favorite restaurant in Pueblo West. The staff is amazing, and remembered my preferences after the first visit. I was blown away with the service!

Diner Review №117

Super good food, healthy serving also, very tasty!

Diner Review №118

One of my absolute favorite places in town. The food is consistent, and amazing. Service is even better, Marisa and Patrick are the absolute best. If you’re hesitant about trying Thai food, go here. The spice level is customizable and there is something for every palate. They are vegetarian friendly as well, and the restaurant is very clean.

Diner Review №119

Excellent place food and service

Diner Review №120

My favorite place to go! Not only amazing Thai food but THE BEST service, hands down! If the gentleman helping you recommends something, believe him! I always get the pad thai, but my husband loves the fried rice, there is something for everyone! Love this place!!

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Amazing!!!!!

Cleaned the plates it’s so amazing!!!!!

Diner Review №123

I never expected to find a Thai restaurant this good in Pueblo, CO. The Pad Thai (try it wrapped in an omelette!) is out of this world. Easily the best I’ve had in years. This restaurant was a weekly visit while I was in town and I will miss it dearly!

Diner Review №124

Always great food. Always great service. Great atmosphere for a little strip mall restaurant. Haven't been going as much as usual since we live on the other side of town, but I don't think we've ever been disappointed. Love the spring rolls, Pad Thai and sticky rice with toasted coconut ice cream for dessert. Heartily recommend.

Diner Review №125

First time going here tonight. I never had this type of food before. the waiter was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful, especially picking out our foods! Will definitely be back!! It's like a small happy family there! I am very pleased and i am a very, very picky eatter when it comes to my food and even my 2 yr old and 12 yr old loved their dishes too! Thank you so much for a pleasant and yummy dinner! 😋

Diner Review №126

Best place for Thai.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Great restaurant but their prices have gone way too high

Diner Review №129

Healthy fried rice (heat-2) 5/5
Sidewalk noodles 4/5

Diner Review №130

I was very impressed. But be cautious they have a heat scale 2 is very warm 4 omg but if you like the heat 5 bring it on but be ready. No joke!

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

We followed the reviews and had an amazing lunch. My son loved the tea!
Lunch portions were more than enough for a meal. We had spring rolls for an app, very good. My pad thai was great also.2 apps raised our bill
So the coat looks bad on the review

Diner Review №134

This was just wonderful! I can't wait to go back soon. The service was fast, and food was served very quickly as well. We were not rushed in any way, but it showed they cared about us being satisfied. Parking was plentiful and the restaurant was very clean. Another place I look forward to enjoying again very soon!

Diner Review №135

Nice to have great thai food close by.

Diner Review №136

Apparently they are short staffed but they were amazing. The food oh my Lord . You must come in an try it all !! I'm coming back. You all were amazing. We enjoyed ourselves.

Diner Review №137

This place is a hidden gem. I have had Thai in many states and this place is superior. I have never tried anything off of the menu that was not delicious. The food is always fresh and the people are warm. Definitely recommended this place for Thai.

Diner Review №138

Honestly not just the best thai food in Pueblo but possibly in all of Southern Colorado

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Great food. Unsure what to choose? Waitor suggestions, are great!

Diner Review №141

I wish that I could give it a half star only Absolutely horrible take out service
Called and ordered by telephone and was told 30 minutes
Got to restaurant and was told they did not have a phone order.
No problem ordered at counter and waited 1 hour after paying. Was told they were busy and wait times were over an hour.
Such a shame this was a great takeout and dining room.

Diner Review №142

Excellent food, many gluten free options for my celiac husband

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Disappointing lately. I understand things go up but so have the restaurant prices. I've been a loyal customer for 15 years. Now the sauses are watered down and I have always asked for no ice and today I got barely over half the cup full. Will not be returning any time soon.

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Absolutely awesome food, no complaints, great staff too

Diner Review №147

Authentic Thai food. Don't let the outside appearance of the shopping mall fool you. This is a high class restaurant. For an experienced "Pepper Head" like me, the "Thai Hot" level of spice gave me the "chili burn" that I was looking for without taking away from the flavor of the entrée. Very friendly and helpful service. A pearl hidden inside Pueblo... EXCELLENT!

Diner Review №148

Delicious! So so flavorful! Spicy really means spicy. Friendly service and vegan friendly to boot!

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

We usually get takeout. Best thing food outside of Springs!

Diner Review №151

One of the best places in all of southern Colorado

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

ordered takeout pad see ew and pad thai. neither of the dishes had enough sauce and even though I ordered “mild” the spice level would have been a medium-hot at other restaurants. also had some tofu that tasted weird and the sticky rice pudding was weirdly textured — all of it was clumped together. this wasn’t worth nearly $50 for 2 ppl (+ a modest tip) and the drive from Pueblo.

Diner Review №154

It’s hard to find good Thai food, in my experience. Their yellow curry is so good. I get it with tofu. Best tofu I’ve had from a restaurant. My husband always gets something different and has liked everything he’s tried so far. Very friend staff. Fast service. Great prices. Good portion sizes.

Highly recommend.

Diner Review №155

We stopped by from a long trip drive. We ordered level 4 of Thai spicy, they delivered it. The food was sooooo delicious. One of the best Thai restaurent. Don't forget to try the dessert 'Ice cream with toasted coconut with sweet sticky rice'. Definitely check it out if you have a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Diner Review №156

I have been here countless times since they opened and order the chicken satay almost every time it need’s a little more flavor but it is juicy I also order the fired tofu which is always good

Diner Review №157

One of the best "Home Made" lemongrass soups/Tom Yum I've ever had. Everything else was great too lol! Recommend this to everyone, you can taste the difference!

Diner Review №158

Very good Thai food.

Diner Review №159

Like most places they were short staffed but were very helpful. The food was great and definitely worth the short wait.

Oh, try the cheese cake for dessert. You will not be sad.

Diner Review №160

first time going and was impressed with the food, customer service, and cleanliness!! Started with chicken skewers that were tasty and had a nice dipping sauce, also tried the papaya salad which was different in all aspects of a salad but still really tasty. others tried the popcorn shrimp and all liked it, as well as the shrimp spring rolls.. my Main entree was the garlic chicken with spice level 3 and it was soo good just wish it came with a bigger portion of jasmine white rice. The green curry was interesting might have to try it again with a different spice level. Both of the Thai beers, lucky buddha, and Singha were also really good both light lager type. The tai iced was amazing really good!! the staff was patient and helpful as it was our first time super nice and ontop of clearing plates and refills!!

Diner Review №161

Unmatched dinner dinning from appetizer to dessert, top quality Thai cuisine in a Thai themed atmosphere. Thank you Gaan!

Diner Review №162

This place is always clean. The staff is always very pleasant. The food is delicious and very consistent. Some of my favorite dishes are the yellow curry, the sweet and sour stir fry, sidewalk noodles and garlic shrimp. This place is a gem. There is nothing else like it in town, and I am so glad that they are here.

Diner Review №163

Awesome food!!

Diner Review №164

Yum!
The way a review of a restaurant ought to start right.
The food is awesome. Great choices in spicy... mild to very hot 🔥
I love this place.
Local and quality!
The staff is always friendly and attentive... and they serve up a great meal.
Highly recommend.
Support local!!!

Diner Review №165

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had! I would highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №166

Smallest & Worst fresh shrimp spring rolls on the planet..& the peanut sauce is just as bad..chunky & weird..I I spent $39.00 for a to go of 4 orders & left a 5.00 tip..They shoved them all in one container..when these were for 4 different people..The wrap was hard like rubber..just horrible..The place looked appealing inside..However I can not go back..I drove an hour each way just to get these. Just horrible..Also.they charged 4.00 for a super small ramekin of extra peanut sauce..which I would never had ordered in advance if I knew how bad this was going to be..

Diner Review №167

Panang currie lunch was wonderful

Diner Review №168

Very good restaurant! Pretty decor, clean tables, bright windows and such friendly staff! The soups are so good! I had Pad Thai dish with shrimp and chicken, and it was excellent. They will make it as spicy as you want. Or if you want more peanut sauce or something, that's fine too. Nice hot jasmine tea. Overall a very good meal. Great for Pueblo West!

Diner Review №169

Don't be fooled by the strip mall exterior appearance, this is easily one of the best restaurants in Pueblo. Everything is delicious, the interior atmosphere is very pleasant and calm, and the entire staff is great! If only I lived closer, I'd eat here at least once a week. At least.

A warning, though: as with most real Thai restaurants, don't overestimate your capacity for heat. I can't get enough spicy stuff, but 5 star is a little too hot even for me. If you're at all sensitive to spice, probably don't go above a 1. But still definitely go.

Diner Review №170

The Thai food is great!

Diner Review №171

Great food and a great staff. I really enjoy this establishment.

Diner Review №172

I had the Chicken Yellow Curry, a fried, chicken spring roll with a Cucumber Salad and it was $30. The amount of rice they give is half of what it should be... pretty insulting to pay $30 and get home with 3 or 4 bites of steamed rice. The Spring Roll was typical Thai fried roll.. I expected some chicken in there but is was laughable trying to find meat in there.. just some mushy silver noodles. Didn't finish those... just tossed them out. The chicken was the typical dry, pre-sliced frozen in a bag white meat chicken typical at most Thai and Chinese restaurants. Dry and tasteless (curry is best with slow cooked bone in chicken). The curry also lacked the creamy smooth texture you expect from coconut milk because it was watered down and they must have added a little sweetener to compensate for the lack of coconut milk.. it was too sweet. Cucumber Salad was boring.. not marinated long enough in the vinegar.. just tasted like plain cucumbers in sugar water... no onions like most other Thai restaurants. $5 for that? I don't think so. I won't be back.. I still felt a little hungry after eating as the portion was like a small lunch portion.

Diner Review №173

Very good food.

Diner Review №174

This place is a hidden gem, nestled in the corner of a strip mall in Pueblo West. The food is fantastic and the service extraordinary.

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

Everything is delicious every single time! Pick your spice level and it’s always on point. Don’t sleep on the Thai Tea, it’s delicious and an excellent pairing for any spice level.

Diner Review №177

Great drunken noodles!

Diner Review №178

Woooow! My goodness! Many American Thai restaurants fail to excite me…Puukaow doe—blew me away!

I actually took the gf here for V-day(the one Monday they are open!) and boy, what a treat!

Starting with the Calamari appetizer—wait—no—that’s not what it started with. It started with a fantastic waiter! He was charismatic, knowledgeable, and quick to provide tailored advice. The calamari hit the spot—as it was well-(but not over)battered and perfectly cooked. Just the right about of chewy and breading.

Next—after an earnest recommendation, I selected the green curry fried rice—and BAM! Perfect flavors and textures. Well balanced blend of sweet and spicy. Mm mmm mmm.

Lastly—the famed Mango Sticky Rice and coconut ice cream was FIRE!

Easily 5 stars.

Diner Review №179

I totally Love this restaurants. The food is amazing!!! No matter what you order it is so tasty!!!

Diner Review №180

The best coconut milk soup and fresh spring rolls in town just like in Thailand

I loved it here! My table enjoyed the bronco wraps (lettuce wraps), green curry, and sidewalk noodles. They were all delicious and had fresh, complex flavors. You could pick your spice level for most dishes! The Jasmine tea was loose leaf, delightful, and came in interesting tea pots. They were also very accommodating with my gluten-free and dairy-free needs. We had lovely interactions with the kind and helpful staff. This place is truly a little gem :)

Real taste of Thailand in a nice little strip mall spot. The yellow. Curry was spot on and their Thai Iced tea was wonderful.

My husband and I had excellent lunch here on 7/31/21. We had ice tea, spring rolls, cucumber salad, drunken noodles, and yellow chicken curry. You can get brown rice for extra charge. Our waitress was nice and kept our ice tea full. This place was very clean too.
