The best Thai food I’ve ever had! Service was great, space was clean, and food was absolutely incredible. The flavors were amazing and diverse. The crispy pad Thai was uniquely different and so flavorful. Definitely get the Pak Mor to start. The drunken noodles were out of this world. Can’t wait to return!!

Drove from pennsylvania on the way to maine and read google reviews to determine if we wanted to eat here. Everything was so good from the cocktail list, appetizers (dumplings) and entrees (seafood and duck). Outstanding quality and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was very nice. I would definitely return when passing through new hampshire.

I understand NH has a very different palate than Thailand but the papaya salad barely tasted of anything. It’s okay to use fish sauce! It was missing all spice and fermented dark sour sweet flavor. I also am not sure I understand a solid brick of lettuce with it as filler in the takeout tray??? The “sticky rice” came in a plastic bag and looked like it was quickly reheated in a microwave or dumped into lukewarm water- which I actually don’t mind. I get you can’t cook everything to order. But it was the most plain and flavorless rice I’ve ever had and was a solid brick that had the density of chewing gum. Sticky rice is supposed to have flavor! The shrimp was solid and the noodle dishes are typically fine but it tastes like the owner purposefully white washed Thai food so it was b

My go to lunch spot👌 I've never had a bad meal here. This time got the chicken and shrimp spicy fried rice and it was a large portion for about $14 so great deal and 5 spicy is a great heat to it too!
