We have been to most Thai restaurants in Saint Louis and area, believe me when I say it is the best Pad Thai ever. The rest of the dishes are also delicious, fresh and large portions, sushi is top notch. Love this place.

Diner Review №3

A great place to go with family, friends or a special night out. Food is always amazing and service is great.

Server was very sweet, food was mediocre, take out seems to be the way to go as in house had no priority. I will not return., except to admire the awesome cutout of the gentleman feverishly making sushi while I drank bottled beer. Good luck.

We have been going here since we moved down the street and have taken MANY people here, only for it to become their favorite Thai place.

Panaang Curry and Yellow Curry are hands down the best I have ever had. Can't wait to try more

Diner Review №13

The ambience was really cool and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend pad kee mao. And its not spicy at level 2 spice. So you can easily go with this spice level.

Diner Review №14

I recently visited Thai Navas Cafe, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The head waiter seemed completely inattentive and moved as if he had all the time in the world, ignoring the needs of the customers. It took an eternity just to get seated, and the wait to place an order was over 20 minutes.

When the food finally arrived, the portions were incredibly small compared to what you typically get at other Thai restaurants. The flavors were bland and lifeless, clearly catered to a crowd not accustomed to authentic Thai spices. Throughout the meal, the waiter showed little interest in our dining experience and seemed more focused on taking his time rather than ensuring we were satisfied.

If you are looking for genuine Thai cuisine, I would strongly advise against visiting Thai Navas Cafe. The overpriced portions and lackluster service make it not worth your time. I won't be returning and recommend you drive past this place and find another restaurant if you're craving Thai food.

Been visiting this place for several years now & they are still one of the best Thai restaurants in St. Louis area. Delicious food always. Tried Choo-Chee Salmon after a long time & it was very delicious!

Diner Review №21

Everything was perfect !

Diner Review №22

Ordered takeout from here for the first of many times... Food so good that I forgot about my beer. 😀

Diner Review №23

I very much enjoy their pad thai, spicy pad thai and crab Rangoon here. Just tried their sushi (the rainbow roll) for the first time and it was fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №24

This place is legit! I haven't tried the Japanese yet but the Thai is on point

Diner Review №25

Very friendly. The peanut sauce is great!

Diner Review №26

Ordered lunch to go and waited. Got back to work and started eating and found 2 6-7 inch hairs in my food. Called to let them know. They offered to refund me. Then put me on hold and said I had to bring the food back for refund. My lunch break is over. So now no lunch and I paid for food that was not clean.

Diner Review №27

Not friendly at all. Food was bland at best

Diner Review №28

Great Pad Thai and sushi. Clean dining room. Attentive staff.

On one occasion,, I was there near closing and they started cleaning the restrooms and the chemicals reached our table through the air as they were spraying the tables down (terrible practice I frequently notice in restaurants - you should spray the rag directly instead while patrons are present for this exact reason). Now I just make sure I'm not there on the later side of dinner service.

Diner Review №29

My husband came here today and the woman at the register was very rude and dismissive to him. He opted to not tip because the order was to go and she grabbed a dollar from the register and slammed it into their tip drawer. She then proceeded to put our food on the counter and walk away, not even informing him it was our order. The food was subpar. I had the potstickers and the sticky rice with beef. It was ok but nothing to write home about. We obviously won’t be returning.

Diner Review №30

Amazing food!!

Diner Review №31

Great place! I can't wait to return after my show so I can eat all the things. The sashimi was on point. So beautiful, fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №32

This evening was my first time trying Thai Nivas and I will absolutely be back! They have a very big menu. My fiancé and I both enjoyed our meal - we definitely recommend any of the curry.
They had 1 server for the whole floor while hosting numerous big groups (including a party of 20+), and still made sure we got our food as efficiently as the kitchen could produce our order.

Diner Review №33

The food was unremarkable and very bland. The service was abysmal. One meal was finally brought after everyone else had their food for 15 minutes. The owners were pissed when I asked if the other meal was coming. The female snapped that she'll bring it later. I will not go back there

Diner Review №34

I've gritted this place a couple of times. Even the spring rolls need help.

Diner Review №35

Today was my first time trying Thai Nivas, I’m new to the area and was referred by a friend…

I got #24 with Shrimp and some fried vegetable rolls, everything was delicious. The shrimp were throughly cooked which was great cause some places don’t cook them well enough.

Overall I would recommend and will definitely be coming back..

The food did not disappoint!!!

Met a friend here for dinner. There are multiple Thai food restaurants I like, but I've been on the search for a new favorite closer to my home. This restaurant is closer to my home.

Parking was easy. I was greeted as soon as I entered and they seated me at a table. There was one other customer in this entire restaurant and they wanted to seat me directly next to them... I asked if I could be seated a few tables over and they did accommodate that.

Drink orders were taken quickly. Friend arrived and they received a drink quickly. Before friend had even opened menu they asked for food order. We asked for a few minutes. They literally came back in about 2 minutes. We asked for a few more minutes. They came back in another 2 minutes. You get the point here... It was obvious friend was looking at the menu, why rush? This rushing was felt throughout the experience and we didn't enjoy it.
When the check was delivered, they let us know we could pay at the register. We said okay and that we were talking for a few minutes and wrapping up. They came back over multiple times to tell us where to pay.

Food - I ordered the Pad See Ew, friend ordered Pad Thai, we also had the crab rangoons. Rangoons were super tasty. Pad see ew was lacking flavor. It had spice, but not flavor. I felt like it was only "okay". Friend liked hers.

Overall, there are other options I prefer more. I would not visit again.

Go to place for lunch. Pad Thai is amazing. Great sushi and appetizers. Can't go wrong with this place.

Diner Review №43

Best Thai food in St. Louis

Diner Review №44

Horrible experience! I am vegan. Ordered green curry with tofu. They added chicken to my curry along with tofu. When I was half way through the dish, I saw chicken pieces and told the server. She took the dish inside the kitchen removed the piece and came back with the same dish saying it does not have chicken! Luckily I found another piece of chicken and this time she could not remove it. They didn’t apologize or offer a new dish since it was their closing time! Pathetic service!

Diner Review №45

Good food! Noodle dishes were flavorful! 10/10 Will return!

Diner Review №46

Zero stats. Overrated food with overrated prices. They are so cheap with the portions but then they charge you an arm and a leg for your meal. I feel cheated. That along with the bad service.I would go somewhere else. They lost me as a customer

Diner Review №47

This was my first time eating here. The atmosphere was nice, and cozy. The food was good, but not the best Thai that I've had. The service was not great. One waitress was nice, but one was not very friendly. Overall it was ok, but there are better options.

It was a very busy Monday night that was not planned for, in the dine-in area. There was also an extremely active carry out night. The wait staff was somewhat overwhelmed but handled it with poise. We had three excellent appetizers and two entrees that we shared between 3 people. The appetizers were spot on and the entrees were top notch and seasoned perfectly. The red wine was very good and the jasmine tea was perfect. We will be back soon.

Diner Review №56

Service is slow but very pleasant waitress. Food was great.

Diner Review №57

I tried spicy fried rice with shrimp and salmon skin hand roll. Both were delicious. Super clean and spotless restaurant. The Chef was so nice and welcomed all the customers. They offer all types of proteins and veggies in their menu for their dishes.

We came here for lunch and won’t be returning.

I ordered sushi and hours later I still feel queasy and have a bad taste in our mouth. The tuna roll was way too (fluorescent) pink and the color stained the rice, which means they either dye their tuna or buy it already dyed. It left an odd coating in my mouth. The same happened with the salmon roll - it almost looked like a nectarine instead of salmon. I told the waiter and he just said “uh, I guess I’ll tell the chef” and that was it. I didn’t hear from the chef nor did they remove the item from the final bill.

This was the first time I have ever left food without either finishing it/asking for a to-go bag.

Not sure about their Thai food but certainly stay away from their sushi.

Diner Review №67

Really good dragon roll. Massaman curry was pretty good as well. Crab Rangoon tasted fresh but had very little filling.

Diner Review №68

Thai Nivas used to be one of our favorite Thai places. It's gone downhill for several reasons. The servers and the owners appear to not be enjoying themselves, and that attitude doesn't make for those dining inside the restaurant to really feel welcome. The food used to be very carefully spiced with the flavors you expect in a really good Thai meal. Fresh basil, for example, is one item you expect in a significant quantity, and curry powder in many dishes. A curry dish should be flavored so that the curry stands out, but the Thai Nivas spicing is somewhat too mild. On the Pad Thai, while there's likely to be some sugar, Thai Nivas has somewhat overdone the sugar, then misses on not only the basil, but other spices that provide the wonderful smell of a good Pad Thai. The fresh rolls, with vegetables and wrappers, also are in need of spices. The food is still OK, but Thai Nivas is no longer a place to reliably get excellent food.

Diner Review №69

Great place

Diner Review №70

My wife and I love Thai food, (we’ve both been to Thailand), and we wanted to check out this place because it was near home. The green curry was just ok but the phad thai was SUPER salty. I usually eat on the saltier side, so if it was too salty for me, it’s way too much salt.

Unfortunately, when we respectfully sent it back literally after trying to take ONE bite each and needing to spit it out, saying that we couldn’t eat it as it was inedible, the server took it back and then the owner came out and literally yelled at us and lectured us on how popular their phad Thai was and how they even cater for big companies and how we were the first to ever complain since they opened in the 90s… she didn’t even offer to remake it for us because she said it would be the same recipe…

I kindly let her know that we were enjoying the green curry and suggested maybe the phad Thai was just accidentally made too salty just this one time. She was livid and went back into the kitchen.

Let me just say… my wife and I were flabbergasted and horrified. We just wanted to enjoy a date night with good food. We didn’t even finish our food, we lost our appetites, and went to pay and then they tried to charge us for the phad Thai! After what had transpired, I respectfully said that we wouldn’t be paying for that dish and the cashier agreed to take it off.

Never again. What a strange and traumatic experience! Every time we pass the restaurant it still makes me shudder.

I know that people may have hard/bad days, but this was completely uncalled for.

Diner Review №71

Love this place. I've tried many different items. I also tried tofu. DELICIOUS! They were all fantastic. The server now knows us because we go often. A quiet peaceful restaurant. Very relaxing & wonderful food.

Diner Review №80

Pad thai was a sad small mound of mush, the noodles were the skinny rice sticks, very small portion, over cooked, 4 or 5 strands of sprouts mixed in. Really disappointing.

Diner Review №81

A very cozy and wonderful restaurant. Everyone is always friendly and serves some of the best food I've ever had. Incredible sushi, noodles, and other dishes. If I could I'd give Thai Nivas 10 stars. Always happy to come here :)

Diner Review №82

Thai Nivas is a wonderful family-owned restaurant that serves excellent, fresh food made to order. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they did an outstanding job accommodating my gluten allergy (celiac). While the service is usually good, the kitchen may feel a bit slow compared to other restaurants. If you visit when it's busy, expect your food to take a while, and your entire experience may last at least 90 minutes or more. However, the sushi is a notable exception - it comes out quickly after being ordered, so if you're hungry and the restaurant is busy, it might be worth ordering sushi specifically. Thai Nivas is the last business open in the quiet retail strip center, and it's truly a gem. Don't miss out on the chance to enjoy their delicious food! Overall five stars.. support local businesses!

Diner Review №83

Visited this gem over the weekend! Wonderful service! The food was great. I am always terrified to eat Thai food because I don’t like hot/spicy food. I asked for no spice and they made it perfectly.

Diner Review №84

I've been coming to Thai Nivas for easily 10+ years and I have never had a bad experience! I was vegetarian for many years and their veggies sushi rolls are my favorite! I've had most of the dishes containing veggies, tofu or chicken and it's always divine. The staff is always lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend adding a Thai iced tea to your meal!

Diner Review №85

The food was great. Pad see Ew chicken noodle was the best i had in stl.

The thai iced tea was a major disappointment though.

Diner Review №86

Food is good. Workers not so friendly.

Diner Review №87

Consistently delicious food, clean restaurant, and decent service.

Diner Review №88

Food is delicious. I love the diversity of the menu. There is something for everyone. Our extended family asks to eat there every time they are in town. Family friendly.

Diner Review №89

Great Thai food with convenient parking. It was a crowded evening and most tables were occupied. Ordered the pad Thai and it didn't disappoint . Tasty and reasonably priced as well.

Diner Review №90

Thai dynamite rolls, spicy noodles, cashew chicken and basil fried rice are some of the best, must try and delicious dishes. Gentleman who is the sushi chef really knows his work, one of the wonderful Thai restaurants in saint louis!

fantastic food

Diner Review №100

Food tastes good but it’s overpriced

Diner Review №101

So this was my second time trying them because I wanted to see if the first time was just a fluke, or had a bad chef the first night. The service is very prompt and everyone was attentive and kind. But the food. The food was bland both times. We requested level 3 spice the first time it was maybe a 1. This second time, we ordered level 4 spice and again got a 1

Diner Review №102

Very bad experience I felt here. We went at around 8 clock and it had still 1hr left to close. We order several items such as Tom Yum chicken soup, Basil fried rice and Spicy Tuna hand roll. It was not so good. Soup was watery and rice was so simple. It wasn’t thai taste. Also quantity was not enough for 2 persons. Not Recommend sorry

Diner Review №103

I came here on a Thursday afternoon and it was very quiet, nice atmosphere. I ordered the basil fried rice to go and waited not too long for it to be ready. They definitely made it fresh, you could taste that for sure!! Also they are accomodating for allergies or dietary restrictions. Service was kind and pleasant, checking in with me while I waited. Portions are generous - it was 2 meals for me. So good. Thank you!

Diner Review №104

As a Black restaurant diner, Yelper and foodie this is the type of review that is deeply disappointing to write. I was RACIALLY PROFILED when I went to pickup my takeout order.

The restaurant was busy and my estimated 35 minute wait time had passed. Upon arrival, I had to wait another 10+ minutes. I paid, then alerted the woman at the counter that I would wait in the car as the lobby space was crowded.

When I returned, I saw that my order was ready and bagged. Ok, finally, great! I grabbed it and headed for my car. Once inside my car, I see the female who took my payment run out to my passenger door - IN THE DARK - to question the order I'd grabbed. Stating that I should have alerted someone before I walked out. What the hell!?

1. She took my payment. There's a common saying that all Black people look alike but get outta here!!
2. It is exceptionally DANGEROUS to chase someone in a dark parking lot -- especially for a $33.99 order.
3. I'm writing this review in the hope that this does not happen to someone else.

Thai Nivas is delicious. It's consistent, flavorful, the vegetables are cooked perfectly, the sushi is on point, I could go on and on. I have taken many people here and every person has absolutely loved it.
The red curry with beef is my favorite.
Yellow curry fried rice is delicious.
For sushi, make sure you try the dynamite roll.

Diner Review №108

Great quality and fair price. It was easy to place online order for a pick up. Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups with tofu were delicious. We also split mild yellow curry with my wife - that was good full dinner.
Easy to find location and plenty of parking.

Food is always delicious, staff is attentive, and ambience is pretty cool.

Diner Review №112

Went with another couple who had been here before (except us). Everyone got something different and we got an appetizer for the table. Everyone agreed that their meal was good and everyone joined the cleaned plate club. I had the Khaw Moo Dang and was expecting something slightly more flavorful, but it was still very good. The servers were friendly and courteous. We were not rushed out at the end of the meal but sat and caught up on conversation while drinking tea.

Diner Review №113

Great lunch...sizable portions, good crowd and tasty food. Service was not over the top, nor was it sub par! The peanut sauce chicken and cashew chicken dishes were very good!

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

I wish I could go back in time and not eat here! One of the worst restaurant experiences in my life! Started off great with the people that came in after us already eating their main meal before I even got my soup. Which was luke warm, by the way. Oh and the salad was just plain nasty. The main entrees came to us just moments after I got the soup and salad. I had the Shrimp Tempora. Which was okay. The rice was over cooked and basically just mush. The wife's Pad Thai's noodles were over done. Waitress never checked on us until asking us if we wanted take out containers. We told her how lousy the meal was and she just shrugged it off. The wife wanted to take her leftovers but I didn't. We were made to wait yet some more and the wife grabbed a container, put the food in and was out the door before the waitress came out from the kitchen while I was waiting to pay. Wow! No. Tip. For. You. Oh and this great experience cost me $35. Take my advice and avoid this place.

Diner Review №116

If I could give no stars I would. The Service was poor and the food was even worse.

Diner Review №124

My curry was very bland and the sauce was watery.

Diner Review №125

I came here on April 13, 2022. This has to be the worst Thai food I've ever had. The mushrooms in the soup were raw, and the rest of the soup tasted average. The service was satisfactory. The food was of poor quality for the price. I would not recommend coming here. Go to Chiang Mai or Fork & Stix.

Diner Review №126

This was my first time eating here. The restaurant was small but nice. I ordered my food to go. I ordered the Choo Choo Fried Rice w/chicken and a Shrimp Tempura sushi roll. Both were really good. The fried rice was a smaller portion than what I thought it would be for $12.95. It was lightly colored rice but had a good taste. The sushi was average.

I saw some type of noodle dish the waiter took to a dine-in customer and it looked Amazing! I'll get that next time. Since I don't eat Thai food a lot, I really didn't know what to order so I played it safe.

I think this would be a good place to eat. I would recommend it to others.

Diner Review №127

Food 5 stars
Service -5 stars
I have been going here for 9 years. But this will be my last. They messed up the order because they were busy, no one waited the table, we had to go get our own spoons and napkins from the counter, appetizers and kids food came after entrees. Management was rude.
Overall, a cluster of an experience.

Food was great as always, but good food or being busy doesn’t make up for an indifferent attitude
Sorry Thai Nivas team for the poor review. You need to hear this. I hope you take this criticism constructively and improve. Good luck

We'd been craving Thai food for months and decided to try Thai Nivas. What a delightful restaurant with fantastic food and a lovely staff. We had the Masaman Curry Tofu. Wonderful. We'll be back soon!

Diner Review №133

Good decor and food. Always very slow. Give yourself additional time for lunch.

Diner Review №134

Excellent food at reasonable prices. The staff are courteous and friendly but there are only a few of them which means it's not always a quick visit. If you're a fan of spice, go all the way; a "3" is fairly mild.

Diner Review №139

Live very close to this restaurant and pass by it all the time and decided to try them for the first time. The lady who took my order over the phone was not the friendliest and even upon picking my food I didn’t really feel welcomed as a customer and felt like I was being rushed. Not a good first time experience and Im very disappointed. Good customer service is everything so probably will not be back.

Diner Review №140

Love this place!

Diner Review №141

I love the food here, but I'm so tired of them not apologizing or acknowledging that I have waited 15 - 45 minutes for my takeout when I arrived at the time the Menufy app said to arrive. Tonight they didn't even start cooking it until we arrived....and that was an hour after the order was submitted. I get that staffing is tough, so just say, "I'm sorry!"

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

Didn’t feel welcomed as “In dining” guests. Closing time was so important for the staff that they started to warn about closing time over an hour ago and also led to a decrease in the quality of food, giving the impression that we weren’t welcome. Wouldn’t like to be at a place where one doesn’t feel welcomed and food isn’t great.

Diner Review №144

My girlfriend and I have been to Thai Nivas Cafe several times and have been delighted with our meals every time. Great selection of Thai and Japanese dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient. My favorite is the #22 Pad Thai with shrimp!

Diner Review №145

Lots of vegetarian options! Reasonable prices. Great service!

Diner Review №146

Food is delicious. Much variety to choose from. There is a very good sashimi and sushi menu too. Pricing is reasonable and service friendly. Yum is a very friendly server and we appreciate her hard work! Management seems very appreciative of their customers. We go there at least once a week and we enjoy it very much.

Diner Review №147

Food was moderately tasty. Had Soup, edamame, red curry chicken. The curry was exactly like the soup - not red and not gravy-like, very watery. Service was just adequate. Was kind of surprised based on the reviews. Oh well, now we know.

Exceptional food, fresh ingredients, good service in a comfortable space. Pleasantly surprised. Looks like a lot of their business went to carry out, so mine was the only indoor table occupied.

Beautiful inside despite its location. The Bamee Moo Dang was tasty with a colorful presentation. We were the only people there which made me sad because this place definitely deserves more attention!

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

The service was absolutely wonderful and the food was delicious! The chicken potstickers were cooked to perfection and the vegetarian egg rolls were soooo crispy and packed with ALOT of veggies! We will be returning VERY soon! For my main dish I ordered the beef rice noodle soup, there was some kind of super tender pot roast in it... I will be ordering that again! My boyfriend ordered the yellow curry rice, it was actually on the sweet side and just the right amount of spice! 5 stars from us!

Diner Review №164

Really really good food. Fantastic curry. Good portions for the price.
My favorite place to eat since moving to the area.

Diner Review №165

Ordered on line at 5:50, said it would be ready at 6:10 when I arrived they had not even started the order, two others waiting ahead of me. Only two tables dining in, no excuse for this. Order finally received at 6:50 one hour after placed the order. No explaimation.

Diner Review №166

great spot for takeout that let's you have the option for both Thai cuisine and Japanese. the pad Thai and other dishes are all great if you love spicy and definitely gives a nice burn as you get the spicy and up. the sushi and sashimi are also good here. can order ahead for pickup option
I did see some in person diners as well and they are distanced by table

Diner Review №167

Food was tasty but the food portion was 1/2 the size of what you get at any other Thai restaurants.

Diner Review №168

Yummy! Take out was what we did.

Diner Review №169

Great fry rice and all cooked fish meals.

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

SO. GOOD. I'd never been there before, and you never know whether a Thai place is cooking for Americans or not, so I always order medium spice the first time out. Medium is enough that you know you're eating Thai food for Americans, and you can be sure that they can kick it up quite a bit, but you also know that they can probably cook for the guy whose favorite food is buttered spaghetti, too.
Traditional Thai, done well, and I'm left wanting more!

Diner Review №172

Partner and I ordered the pad peanut (#27), basil stir fry (#32), Tom Kha soup, spicy white tuna roll, and mango sticky rice. The stir fry was a bit underwhelming, but not bad. Everything else was absolutely incredible. Very friendly staff too! I always wish I'd taken photos at the *end* of a good meal, after I've demolished everything.

We got the green curry and yellow curry. Both with chicken, delicious.

What a sleeper!! We were just driving by and thought we would stop for dinner and Thai Nivas Cafe was so delicious! The chicken basil stir fry and Pla Rad Prig Kang were so great!!!! Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant! Very nice, clean, and cute on the inside! The staff is so friendly and attentive.

Checked online to determine if they allowed dine in. They did. Then called to make a reservation 3 hours early, but was given a mumbled response of "call back later". Walked in and was told they were too busy to serve dine in as they had too many carry out orders. However, in the dine in area, the tables had signs they weren't serving dine in. If you aren't serving dine in, then just tell people. It's not difficult.

Diner Review №189

Ours was a party of four. We ordered sushi, Thai basil chicken fried rice, sake, peanut noodles.
Didn't really enjoy the taste of the food. Was mostly bland. Could have been better.
The chicken satay wasn't that great either.

The sushi was OK. Won't be visiting them again.

We have been coming here for 10+ years and, sadly, the food has recently declined.

Try the #38 - Cashew Pineapple Chicken

Diner Review №192

I was in the area looking for a new restaurant to try. Came upon Thai Mivas searching for sushi, ended up with a Thai Pineapple Curry dish that was ah-mazing! The portions are perfect! I also had the gyoza which were steamed with a light crisp. The drinks are good and very reasonably priced. I had a Muay Thai Coffee, and I'm hoping they can make a Thai Tea version because it was great! I highly recommend this place.

Excellent food found via Trip Advisor during a brief visit to the nearby area. They offer curbside pickup and appeared to have excellent health protocols in place.

Diner Review №197

Some of the best Thai food in STL! The goyza are my favorite pot stickers I've ever had in my life. The pad spicy noodles are amazing. On top of the great food, the service is tremendous. They remember your name and order, and are already happy to see me. Would recommend to everyone!!

Thai Nivas is the best Thai place in St Louis. Their spring rolls and red curry are both great. I frequently get their spicy fried rice and they make it perfect every time. The owners are always very friendly and I feel like they’ve been taking appropriate precautions in the time of Covid-19. It is always very clean inside and the food is usually ready very fast.

Diner Review №199

This is my favorite restaurant. They have the most amazing yellow curry. I always order it with vegetables because they cook them so perfectly (crisp and beautifully cut). Love their spring rolls & veggie sushi too. I feel lucky that Thai Nivas is in St. Louis and I get to enjoy it.

Consistency in the quality of food and service always delivers. This is our go to for Thai, prices are reasonable and always freshly cooked.
