Customer Reviews
We decided to stop here while on vacation because one of my coworkers recommended it. I am SO glad that he did! The papaya salad was delicious! So crunchy with the perfect amount of lime dressing. My husband and I both had the crispy pad Thai, him with veggies, mine with shrimp. It was the BEST pad Thai I've ever had in my life! Flavorful, crunchy up until the last bite, and the shrimp were so fresh and tender! We had a lovely conversation with our server about our vacation and our hometown. Our dishes arrived at the perfect time and she was so gracious and welcoming! If you are in the area, I definitely would recommend this place for a delicious meal, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere!
The worst Thai food I’ve ever had. The dishes were bland and devoid of any characteristic Thai mixture of flavors and colors. We got Pad Thai - mostly rice pasta with specs of chicken spring sprouts. And salad dish with crispy rice and Thai sausage - equally flavorless. Basically dry rice hash browns with greens. We also got fried dumplings with our order. Same as above but they also looked “used” if that’s possible. Sticky tables. Kind of remarkable what you can do to Thai food.
Been a few months since I was last here but came back with coworkers and wow, this place continues to impress! We started with the Blossom dumplings which are always great, the chicken satay which was good, and the lobster Rangoon and steamed pork buns which were both EXCELLENT. Beyond the excellent flavors, I'm always shocked how fast they bring the food! We had the Spicy Pad Thai, Thai Sausage, a Pork Rib Curry, and a Three Seafood Option. Each was spectacular but the favorites of the table were the Spicy Pad Thai (server recommendation/favorite) and the Three Seafood (shrimp, squid, and haddock).
Excellent food and wonderful presentation, but when dining in, the atmosphere is just not there. We had previously gotten delivery, and absolutely loved it. It was a tad pricey, but so so good. When we tried dinner on a Friday night, however, the food was still excellent and service very kind and prompt, but the vibe was just lacking. I will absolutely be getting delivery again though! The pork bun appetizer is a must- so juicy and flavorful. I also really liked the blossom dumplings, which are so cute and tasty. The pad thai is very good, as is the Lion King dish. The portions were hearty, neither my husband nor I could finish our plates! The spice level was a bit low, so don't hesitate to ask for more spice if you're into that.
Food was delicious with great presentation. Staff was very responsive, clean and well decorated place. Better than other Thai restaurant but we're still expecting more closer to Authentic Thai Cuisine.
