The service at this restaurant is great and everything most of the reviewers here say it is. It is a small restaurant run by a very kind lady. She was very attentive to my needs, even making sure to bring me a glass of water while I waited for my to-go order. The food was cooked quickly and tasted great. The dining area, though small, was clean and full of natural light. I noticed there was a high chair available at the far side of the dining room. I look forward to coming here again!
First time here. GPS took me here but got lost a little because there is no sign outside. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner I assume. She was very very friendly and welcoming. They have a great looking menu. I got cashew chicken lunch special and spring rolls. Super tasty. I like the portion sizes and the prices are affordable.
Absolutely love Chaya Thai ! This is our go-to spot for Thai food in Tacoma . We've tried nearly half the entire menu and are always satisfied after the meal !!!
If you ever have a chance, order some of their delicious crab rangoons ! There is literally no place that does them better than here .
Also the owner here runs the entire operation solo and is incredibly sweet ! We love her food and supporting her business !! π
Loved the food here. Portions were kinda small, but service was fantastic and it was very cheap for Thai food.. at their prices you could buy two dishes and still cost less then most other Thai places. The ambiance isn't that great but again the food and prices make up for it.
Papaya salad was a huge let down with only sour notes no fish sauce, no salty crab. Just tasted lime, the other dishes we're ok at best. Forks had rice and sauce stuck to them honestly probably not coming back. Our server was very friendly but doesn't make up for the entrΓ©es
This has been my recent go to place for Thai food. The service is amazing, the lady that runs it all is so friendly, kind, and truly cares about what she does. I tend to stick to Chicken Pad Thai and will ask for special things like extra green onion and it is always delicious. Itβs nice to regularly go somewhere and be remembered too. Itβs a cute small restaurant that is perfect for a cozy casual meal. Itβs also nice to just take to go as the service is prompt. Iβve tried other things on the menu all of which are good too.
This restaurant is great it is my first food after working in Pierce County in my internship. I am Muslim so it is hard to find food I can eat. I accidentally got non-halal chicken but quickly it was fixed and I got new spring rolls. I had to ask for no chicken on the spring rolls but the worker was so nice she made the changes without even being mad. I came again the same week and she smiles when I say no chicken. It is a really good experience being appreciated and having a bad experience turn into something memorable. Thank you so much to this restaurant. I will keep coming.
Absolutely amazing food.
Just stopped in here the other night and had a lovely time. Food was wonderful, came out quick, and place was cozy. Will be returning. I love Pad See Ew, and this Chaya's was top notch.
Wonderful food and lovely service. My wife and I always enjoy eating here or getting takeout.
Just got my husband some yellow chicken π curry with potatoes π₯, and white rice. With a 3 spiciness, which wasn't too spicy. Next time, I'm going to try the garlic chicken π and the veggie egg rolls. The hostess was very kind and brought us, ice β water π¦ . Thank you. We'll see you very soon. πβ€οΈ
Small, off the beaten path, but fantastic Thai restaurant. If you like Thai food youβll love this place. The server was phenomenal and also a great chef.
Food is really delicious and the staff are very nice. Good prices. This will definitely be our go-to spot from now on.

If you love Thai, you also know that it's hard to find a place with a unique and authentic flavor. Many places taste the same or have an American style. We were in the area and got a to-go order of Green Curry and Pad See Ew. Everything was delicious and prepared quickly. Im not sure why some reviews say this place is expensive and not authentic. It couldn't be any more authentic than it already is. The prices are very reasonable and cheaper than most Thai restaurants. The portions were perfect for leftovers as well. I was promptly greeted and given a glass of water as I waited. Good food and great service. Give this small family business a try. It's better than most of the Thai places in the Olympia/Lacey area. Facts, not just an opinion.
Some of the best yellow curry ive had in a long time across multiple states
Good job!
Friendly and attentive service ... I was given a glass of ice water while waiting for my lunch take out order on a hot day. The prices are reasonable and my lunch choice (Showering Rama) was delicious. I'll define back.
The owner is very nice. Always giving me water while I wait for to go. When you crave thai late in the evening, it's open til 9 where others are closed by 8 pm
Great service fun small shop in Tacoma, very nice owner operator, she cook very good. Only issue I have was Pad Thai was sweeter than I like and super. fresh roll very good with peanut sauce.
Chaya its a beautiful person. Her service was really good 5 start
However, if you are going for the food, itβs not authentic. We love Thai food but this time we were not satisfied. The food was not gross but not what we were expecting as a pad Thai or papaya salad
Papaya salad flavor was different and it has small shrimp which we did not like.
Pad Thai was very soggy and the flavor was also different. Thai coffee different too. We give food a 3 star. Egg rolls were good!
Ticha puts her heart and soul into her food! Her food and personality are a hidden gem!
The egg rolls and tom yum soup here are the absolute best of any Thai place in tacoma
Great good at a great price. You won't regret it
Delicious! Best Pad See Ew Iβve ever had!
This is a fine little establishment. The owner is incredibly sweet and one of the hardest working people I've ever encountered. She does everything from being the waitress to cooking and everything in between. To have just one person do everything is incredible, and she's smiling the whole time. Americans could take a lesson from her!
Probably some of the best Thai food Iβve had 1, out here and 2 in a long time. Food was DELICIOUS, quick and full of flavor. The service was great and very friendly ! Will be coming back!
Great little place for honestly the best Thai food in the Area.
Amazing service and food.
Green and Yellow curry was ON POINT!!
Will be back for more !!
Edit 10 months later - Still 5 stars! I have been coming to eat in person every so often and thoroughly enjoy myself every time. While I often go for chicken as my protein option at other places I always get tofu when I come here - she gets a great texture on it!
Original review - I ordered delivery here a while ago but forgot to leave a review until now. The owner was wonderful, we ordered super late - it was right near the end of her business hours - she was out of tofu. Since we ordered online, she sent us a very nice message apologizing for the lack of tofu, and explained she was worried about substituting it for a different protein in case we were vegetarian. Instead, she absolutely loaded us up with a variety of veggies! I can't even remember what the specific dish was at this point but I remember it was very good.
Came here by chance on a Google search. I almost don't want to make a review because I want to keep this place to myself. But this place is such a gem and deserves to get way more business!!
The woman who runs this place does it entirely by herself which is incredible. I was so sure there was someone hiding in the back cooking, but nope! She handles taking the order, cooking, refilling/service throughout, and the register. A complete one-woman show!
Even handling everything, the food was so good! It wasn't too salty nor too oily which sometimes happens with Thai restaurants. Also the vegetables were cooked well, they still had a bite to them and weren't soggy which sometimes happens at other restaurants. Flavors felt very authentic and it's obvious she cooks with a lot of love for her food.
I will come here again very soon! I need to try the whole menu.
Great food and excellent service!! Don't miss this place!!
The food here is okay. I really enjoy the chicken wings and chicken larb on occasion, although the last time I ordered the chicken wings at least one wing was not cooked all the way through and it was a little bloody at the joint area of the drumstick. The lady that helps me when I come in to pick up my food is always nice and the restaurant dining room seems cozy, but I have not dined in before. The food ends up being not consistent, so I am unable to depend on the same level of flavor or execution of the same dish(es) with each order.
Best Thai in tacoma, the owner is a sweetheart and cooks with the love of food in her heart. Strongly recommend to Thai lovers everywhere!
The service at this restaurant is great and everything most of the reviewers here say it is. It is a small restaurant run by a very kind lady. She was very attentive to my needs, even making sure to bring me a glass of water while I waited for my to-go order. The food was cooked quickly and tasted great.

So far, the best Thai food I've had in Tacoma. The lady who runs it is super sweet. When we were there, she was cooking & serving, & impressively so.
Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Highly recommend & will go back. β€οΈ
Best Thai place in tacoma! The owner is so nice and she makes the real thing! She works really hard and is the cook while being the server.
She knows what sheβs doing!
What a delightful little place. Food really hit the spot. Tom Kha was solid!
First time here. GPS took me here but got lost a little because there is no sign outside. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner I assume. She was very very friendly and welcoming. They have a great looking menu. I got cashew chicken lunch special and spring rolls. Super tasty. I like the portion sizes and the prices are affordable.
Our first time here for take out. Lovely owner. Immaculate restaurant and kitchen. Food very tasty. Our only request is more delicious chicken served with the pad thai! Thank you for your hard work yielding wonderful food.
The lady working is very sweet. She almost got hit by our car while stopping us to make sure we didnβt leave without a sauce.
After reading many reviews of local thai restaurants I ultimately decided to go to this one.
I had the red curry and it tasted good. The flavor was on point, the spice was at the right level, and it felt comforting on a cold rainy night.
Just stopped in for the first time and the service was fast and the owner was so friendly!!! We got the pad see ew and I canβt recommend it enough! Sheβs an amazing cook go give her some love !
Just moved back to WA after 10 years and found this little Tacoma gem. Great food and super kind and friendly owner. Will return again and again.
Food was fast and excellent.
Food was great, so was service.
We stopped here on a whim after reading the good Google reviews...and it was amazing!! I ordered the Pad See Ew and my mom had the Pad Thai... both were so fresh and flavorful! We were surprised that the owner cooked everything herself back in the kitchen...she was sooo sweet, too! If you are looking for a fantastic little hidden gem for Thai food... look no further than Chaya Thai!
The best Thai food I've ever had, the server was lovely and very kind. Quiet atmosphere, food came out super fast too!
Good flavors and easy online ordering.
The food is so good here. The lady in the counter, she's also the one making the food. She entertained my request to remove the ice from my iced tea as I have asthma. She's very nice. I will definitely go back to this shop as the price is also cheaper compared with other Thai restaurants.

Owner is very sweet and food was great. Definitely check it out.
I really wish I could give a higher score, but the meal was uninspiring. I felt so bad because there was one person running everything - waitress, cook, and bussing. We ordered the calamari that costs nearly $11.00 and was shocked to see 4 calamari rings and 1 very small rung come out half burned. The fried chicken wings did not look like the picture on the menu. I got the Tom Kha and asked for tofu, but got chicken instead. This did not taste like it had enough spice (I asked for 4 stars) and it did not taste like it had any lemongrass. We also ordered the pineapple fried rice that again didnβt have any heat and lacked pineapple flavor. Overall, I would not return.
Okay for the first time. Time will tell if my response is going to be better.
Absolutely love Chaya Thai ! This is our go-to spot for Thai food in Tacoma . We've tried nearly half the entire menu and are always satisfied after the meal !!!
If you ever have a chance, order some of their delicious crab rangoons ! There is literally no place that does them better than here .
Also the owner here runs the entire operation solo and is incredibly sweet ! We love her food and supporting her business !! π
One of the best Chicken Pad Thai Iβve had around town. So glad I decided to try this place on a whim after finding it on google maps. Highly recommend. I also got the Chicken Satay which really hit the spot. The lady who sat me and took my order was very friendly. The food came out very quickly. She also gave me a free Thai iced tea refill.
Donβt understand the 4.6 reviews, we ate red curry and ck with vegetables, HORRIBLE! Curry was watery-no creamy-no curry flavor, my husband words: βso far this is the worse curryβ yep, I agree; ck dish only green beans and ridiculous portion for dinner price 13.95, 1/2 size comparing to any other place. Fresh spring rolls were decent-9.99- overall, expensive for the small portion tasteless food. Never again!
Great food and super friendly! I highly recommend the curry.
Prices are about 30% higher in person than online. The waitress I had was so sweet and food was quick but the curry I ordered was flavorless. I ordered medium spice and it tasted blander than mild. Granted Tacoma is very white, it still missed the mark for me.
A quaint atmosphere with amazing service. We were the only ones in there at the time, but a few takeout orders were picked up while we were there. Food was delicious, maybe even the best fresh rolls I have ever had. Decent pricing in this day and age, highly recommend! If I lived in Tacoma, it would be a consistent stop for me.
So good. Establishment was quiet, food service was quick, food was excellent. β€οΈ
I was disappointed. I tried ordering online. Evidently this restaurant doesn't have the ability. I ordered on the phone. I sat down to eat π©. There was an Old Thai woman that recommended a soup. No water. No service. I asked for a glass of water after I tasted the soup. So that being said, Tacoma water and alley cats if you like meat in your soup. A couple of mushrooms and a small tomato. What a soup. I have had diarrhea two times in the past day. It's not nice.
Really good!! A nice and cozy place to eat
Papaya salad was a huge let down with only sour notes no fish sauce, no salty crab. Just tasted lime, the other dishes we're ok at best. Forks had rice and sauce stuck to them honestly probably not coming back. Our server was very friendly but doesn't make up for the entrΓ©es
Larb grew on me. The Tom kha was okay, the stewed tomatoes were an unfamiliar addition. Would return to try other dishes, funky little spot not too far from the mall.
Amazing food. Amazing service. I highly recommend and will be back here repeatedly. Some of the best thai food I have ever had.
Delicious food, great cozy location, and a really friendly owner and hospitality. You canβt go wrong with coming here :)
my boyfriend took me here as a backup plan as our main spot was closed. all i got to say is, i am so glad he did. it was both our first time being here and boy! was it so delicious!! the lady wasnt just the owner, but the chef as well! she told us how she learned how to cook from her mother and it brings her joy to know people like her food so much! i had the yellow curry with chicken and i do have to say, one of it not thee best yellow curry ive had in a very long time! you can tell she really cares about what shes dishing up! the service was fast, the restaurant was so clean. over all, i would come here again!
Really fantastic food, just the thing I was looking for! Go here! Support the lady who owns, cooks, and operates the whole place on her own! Seriously though, THAT HIT THE SPOT.
Best Pad Thai I have ever had! This really is the best place in Tacoma
This place is incredible. The food is probably the best Thai in Tacoma. This unassuming cute little building by the mall is ran by a very sweet lady. Will definitely be back.
So oooo good! This is now my go to for Thai. You can really taste the higher quality and depth of flavors. Service is great as well.
I am picky and I ate my entire plate. Small own business super cute, warm, clean, fast, and friendly. :) Price to portion was great. Definitely will come back a must try.
Very tasty curries and wonderfully nice staff! Came here with my mother and we had the yellow and red curries, as well as a thai iced coffe for her and thai iced tea for myself. It's small but not crowded, and a comfortable place to sit and eat. Will definitely be here again and again!
I got the Tom Yum and it is delicious! The lady who made my food was very friendly, her restaurant was very clean and beautifully decorated! I asked for very spicy and it does not disappoint! I had to start my review in the middle of eating my soup itβs that good! π thank you Chaya Thai, Iβll definitely be back!
I called in a to go and the lady on the phone was really nice, when I came in to pay I could see she was such a kind person and she also made the food which was fantastic!
The Crab Rangoons are my favorite and the Chicken Pad Thai was really yummy. It was ready within 10-15 min as quoted, hot, and delicious!
We will be back, thank you for being so sweet. :)
My first post and my first experience with Thai food. server cook friendly and helpful. the cashew chicken was great and the sweet and sour pork even better. I will definitely return to explore the menu further.
Pad Kee Mao is the best!!! And definitely the best in town!
It's not the fanciest dress-up kind of restaurant, but we just had a nice cozy family birthday dinner. The cook says her mom used to make delicious home-made Thai food. She learned well! :-)
So good!! Very fresh and high quality.
Wow!! Do not skip this place if you are in the area!! The food is incredible, so much flavor packed into each dish and each individual ingredient was cooked perfectly. We ordered the egg rolls, Penang curry with tofu, and cashew sauce chicken. And loved them all, it was the perfect amount of food for two hungry adults. The owner is so kind and a great chef. The place is super clean and the prices are super reasonable. You will leave with your mouth and stomach satisfied and your wallet happy you supported such a great local restaurant. I canβt wait to come back and try more dishes!!
4.6!!!!
What else needs to be said. I asked and received gluten free chicken pad Thai. My service was quick, food was tasty and portion was just right. I would gladly eat here again.
One beautiful young entrepreneur is running the entire establishment. Her demeanor and pleasantness made the visit even more enjoyable. I have attached pictures have a look. Follow me to see more reviews. Thanks.
What an awesome experience! She is a one woman show and food is consistently awesome!
COME EAT HERE!!!
Literally my favorite Thai restaurant. Super clean and the dishes are amazing! Not to mention the owner/cook is extremely thoughtful and nice! She goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.
So good!
Sooooo good! I ordered pad see ew with tofu. The tofu is lightly crispy on the outside and practically melts on the inside. Absolutely the best tofu texture I think Iβve ever hadβοΈ. Also ordered fresh spring rolls, which comes with three medium size rolls that are filling and delicious, and the peanut sauce they come with is practically melted peanut butter, in the best way.
I ordered takeout and the gal who was there cooking and running everything was very sweet and friendly and welcoming.
100% I will come back here for sure, now that I know!
Fabulous and quick service, the owner was kind and attentive. Food above average, I recommend pad kee mao and thai iced tea
Chaya has the best Thai food I have ever had. Her panang curry is amazing, we make sure to eat it once a week. Try her wings also, theyβre perfectly crispy with a phenomenal sauce. Canβt recommend highly enough, everyone should try here
Recently moved to Tacoma and oh what a wonderful find. This place is so unassuming but seriously if you drive by stop and get something to eat. By far one of the very best Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The menu has all your favorites. The food came out HOT and full of amazing flavor. The owner does it all hostess and cook. We will most definitely be going back.
Great food, great service! The owner is so kind and everything tasted great
I canβt believe this restaurant doesnβt have 5 stars. The woman who owns it is currently running the business by herself and she is doing an amazing job. The food was REALLY delicious and yes she cooked it herself and served us. We felt right at home. The restaurant is more clean than other restaurants usually are, the decorations are nice, and itβs well kept. We were so impressed and plan to return!
I had one person serve me, as in, sat me down, cooked me food and be a waitress. Was shocked on the quality of food put out!
Very friendly service! The atmosphere is alright and the food is a 4/5.
This is probably the most authentic wholesome Thai food in Tacoma hands down!!! The egg rolls and fried chicken are the best!!!! And don't skip out on the curry fried rice or cashew chicken
The food is delicious and affordable, and the lady who cooks/serves/does it all is very kind.
Delicious authentic Thai food, Lovely sweet owner. Whenever I've been, there's just been one woman working - and cooking all of our delicious meals! - she is always so kind and gracious. The food is incredible! I'm partial to the Tom Kha.
HIDDEN GEM ALERT πππI have been wanting to try this restaurant for some time. I waited so long to try and this lunch visit didnβt disappoint. The food is so yummy, authentically Thai and made with the freshest ingredients and seasoning. I had the Beef Lettuce Salad βYum Nheauβ , two kinds of noodles Chicken Phad Thai and Phad Kee Mao. The thai tea is also delicious made perfectly not to sweet. Thank you, Chef Chonticha for an amazing experience.
Delicious food, friendly people, definitely would go back again!
Pad thai was too sweet. Spicy saracha menu was so blend. It barely had any flavor. Crab rangoon was okay. Won't be coming back here...
So Glad we found this place !
Delicious and authentic.
The customer service was amazing, the lady that served me was so kind. And the food was deliciousssss. This is my go to for Thai food now! Highly recommend!!
Very good.
Good prices, good food, and good service. Portions were a bit small though.
The woman who works here is incredibly polite and the service was excellent. Definitely check them out!
Used to be my favorite thai spot but the owner changed during the summer. and the food hasnβt been the same since.
Pad thai is delicious!
This a new business so they still have a lot of growing to do. The food was ok, but the new owner and chef was amazing. She is open for suggestions and cooks with love. I had pad Thai, holy basil, and beef and broccoli. The beef and broccoli needed some flavor, but everything else was fantastic. I will be back to give her another chance. I have a feeling she will be my new go to.
Been to Thailand twice and this place is the most authentic I've had in Tacona. The menu reminds me of one out of Thailand. Ingredients were fresh, food was tasty and the portions precise.
Chontichaβs food and service are above all the rest. Great prices, no corners cut, all the love and attention to detail you get from a real βhome cookedβ meal. Delicious π€€ my only complaint is I canβt leave more than 5 stars βοΈ Highly recommend giving Chaya Thai in Tacoma a try!!
Love the food! Such good tofu spring rolls.
Pretty good food. I usually donβt drink Tom Yum soup, but the Tom Yum here is good.
Great food and service! :)
food was fabulous. staff not as friendly as id like to see. the establishment seemed a little dirty. floors were sticky as if someone forgot to clean a soda spill
Flavor was good, but it was weird that they literally put the spice on top instead of incorporating it into the sauce. Beef was too tough. Chicken was cooked perfectly.
Was expecting gai lan, but came with regular broccoli.
Itβs not the best or the worst Penang curry Iβve had. My review is for the portion size. For 18.00 I got 6 pieces of fried tofu. Then Penang curry. It does not come with rice. I got 4 pieces of tofu and 5 slices of bell peppers. Thatβs it... Iβve had this curry in 48 states. Iβve never gotten so little. For the price they need to add more veggies and maybe some rice.
Ordered papaya salad at heat level 3, got a 4 1/2
Ordered extra chicken in my curry. Container was not full and had to search for the chicken.
Food is always delicious.
Chang Thai Express, Tacoma WA
The space is fairly small and mostly geared toward takeout and delivery, but there are a few full-service tables and friendly staffers for those who want to dine in. Chang Thai Express offers an array of tasty appetizer dishes (try the Chang Samplers) as well as soups, salads and plenty
more delicious Thai options, including crispy garlic chicken, red curry duck, swimming rama and much more. This location also offers an array of Thai lunch specials between 11a-3p which offer a complete and filling meal for under $9. Items are always made fresh to order and balanced to
each individual's level of desired heat⦠1 star to on fire!
Great food!
This place is great
ππππ
Their Thai food is so good!! I love Tom always a pleasant to see and chat with either here or at the Chang Thai in Steilacoom! Great food and all the staff is so nice! Love their food β€οΈ
Ordered Pad Thai , mild, was a 0, with no discernable sweet & sour taste until I squeezed the lime slice on it, lots of noodles but not enough sauce to keep them from sticking together.
Red curry duck was fantastic. Ordered a large pickup order and everyone was pleased with what they got. Very good portions and fair price as well. Service was good as well.
The pad thai with chicken is very fresh. I'd eat hear again if I was in the area. Take out only right now.
Fast service, Chicken Phad Thai, Yellow Curry & Coconut Chicken were excellent.
Not from Tacoma, chose this place because of the reviews and wasn't disappointed. Fast service, Chicken Phad Thai, Yellow Curry & Coconut Chicken were excellent. Wish we loved closer!
This Thai place is a hidden gem. Best pad Thai In Tacoma. Not to mention the owners are very nice!
Fantastic food and plentiful for the price. Have ordered takeout numerous times and have always been very pleased with food quality and service.
this is the best thai in tacoma; the curried pumpkin was so delicious! thank you!
Wait staff was fantastic, the food was average.
Love the food
Great place. Better than previous ownersπ
Great food but over priced and the one time I didnt tip I find an extra sum after my charge was pending. Went from 31 to 37 on my bank.
Kinda detures you from wanting to do buisness when you cant trust the merchant.
Suey
This place was great! I was able to get in and out with take away in under 20 minutes. I ordered an appetizer and seafood pad thai. Total before tip was $21.93, the portion size was bigger than expected, the taste and quality were excellent! I'll definitely be back to try another dish.
Very tasty food!
Food was very good. We will be back!
The pot stickers! Crisp, not over or under filled, tender on the inside. And the sesame sauce! Really good. Try the crispy orange chicken, too.
Update: The owner reached out and was extremely friendly and resolved the issue. Occasionally these things do happen. I was very pleased with the prompt reply and my next order was very spicy to my liking!
Old: I ordered takeout, it was nice and warm and my expectations were high! Unfortunately, I ordered incredibly spicy but it was bland and had absolutely no spice. I tried to call to see if something could be done about the order but there was no answer. I will definitely be going to somewhere that knows spice for my future thai orders.
Heaven! Ever wondered what it would be like to eat at a Thai Grandma's house?
This is the spot! Yes there's a lot of Asian inspired food in our area, but there's few as good as Chang Thai. Every item we've ever ordered, the service is excellent and they take care to ensure the food is perfectly prepared.
There's 2 locations, but we've always enjoyed the one on S 48th St. by the Mall.
Our favorites so far are the Golden Bags, the Pineapple Fried Rice with Prawns, and the Pad Thai. The Curries are delicious (make sure to order a side of rice).
Small businesses are the most important resources in our local communities. Chang Thai is a Jewel of Tacoma and Lakewood.
Also, if there's ever the slightest issue with your order, they are quick to fix it. Their kindness is authentic.
Good food, nice waitstaff
Best Thai food in Tacoma hands down! My girl friend and I go here at least once a week since the reopening and cannot get enough. Super friendly staff, we wouldn't change a thing!
Good food
Great food and great service π
Delicious food and great service. A neighborhood gem.
Bruh! Iβve been to this place at least 10 times. I am so impressed with their authenticity and consistency with the food and service. Iβve had take out, went 20 minutes before closing, when theyβve opened and everything is always great.
Flavorful but very skimpy on the meat for price.
