Worth the Walk in the Snow I was in Iowa craving Thai food and walked 20 minutes in the snow to get to this place but it was absolutely worth it. The food was amazing, with a great selection on the menu, and the Thai tea was really good. The staff were nice, and the overall experience was fantastic. I loved the food and would definitely come back We had Thai tea (2$ extra without ice ) Basil fried rice and pineapple curry with rice

If I could give 0 star for this restaurant. I would give them. I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant today. We tried to order the hot seafood plate with rice by pointing to the picture on the menu.

The service that day was provided by a tall, quiet young man named Alex. His service was superb, a model for any server wishing to stand out for professionalism and excellence. I love the chatty

I traveled through this town craving spicy food and found a restaurant that looked promising. I had no expectations, but the food was amazing! As a Thai person, I was impressed, and my picky husband loved the chicken satay I got for our toddler. Truly amazing food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Dan Hansen · Dec 2025

Only a 4 in service as it looked like the lone waiter was becoming overwhelmed. He seemed like a pretty good dude. Food was fantastic especially for a carry-out order placed upon arrival. Absolutely sure I do not like the parking; coming, it's Iowa City, all parking is craaap.
