★★★★☆ 4.0 Angelina Dawson · Dec 2025

This place has been here in my neighborhood my entire life and this is the first time I ate there. I'm guessing Thai food has regional differences because this food was unlike any other Thai I've had. I ordered green curry but it did not have coconut milk, which explains the dark spinach green color. It was good but not what I was expecting. I ordered medium heat but it was pretty hot for medium. This small family restaurant has been here forever, obviously they are doing something right, I won't deduct on my grading for my own limited Thai palate. The papaya salad was too hot for me to eat and I prefer heat. The soup was good as well as the satay. If you are looking for a home cooked Thai meal this is likely the place.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jeremiah Jacobs · Apr 2025

Really good food in a tiny, hard to find spot with limited parking. The portions are *generous* so come hungry. Menu items are less sweet than some other restaurants, but still delicious. The spring rolls are huge (too big in my opinion) but still very tasty! Yellow curry is tasty! Interior decor is minimal, so don't expect a fine dining experience, just good food.

really turned into my favorite go to lunch restaurant while I was here for two weeks visiting for work. they make your food fast. I was able to try the pad Thai drunken noodles and everything was fresh. Good spice level. Good recommendations from the employees super nice service.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mai Kor Xiong · Jul 2024

Good service but the food was bad. I didn't like most of the dishes because it have a bitter taste to it esp the seafood dish. Small portion for the price and the taste didn't help make it feel worth it either. The seafood dish was tiny for $20 and tasted very bitter. The Laab was okay but not very flavorful and was so little. Underneath was a bed of shredded cabbage to make it seems like a lot. It was a bit difficult trying to eat the rest because it got mixed with the shredded cabbage... The boat noodle was okay but also not that good tasting. We were very disapppointed and felt like we got ripped off. Never coming back.
