★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Carlos Pitts · Jan 2026

Really mediocre food, I just got the street fried rice take out and was not satisfied with it. The vegetables and egg were not cooked or seasoned properly and the rice was so oily that my stomach hurt after. The tofu was particularly bland and chewy. This is the third time I’ve tried this restaurant and all three times I’ve been very disappointed. It’s a shame because this is a great location for a restaurant, but it is officially out of my rotation.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Paul Zhang · Nov 2025

Got the crying tiger salad for 17$ base before 7% tax. Got a bundle of mixed greens that had already started going bad. The leaves inside were sludging into oxidized rotten paste. Really disappointed. Wash your greens or sort them you cant just keep them after theyre spoiled. The dish was also completely different from the website image. Attached the actual dish photo. The website showed a ridiculously lavish amount of beef thats entirely unjustifiable deception compared to what they served.

★★★★★ 5.0 Partha Jyoti Das · Jan 2025

The kind Server was a one man army and she is best at her job. So be generous with the tip❤️. The interior was very peaceful and matches well with generosity of Thai people to enjoy Thai cuisine👏🏻. The food was top notch. I had crab rice which was modified with added pork on my request. The soupy noodle on a red chicken soup was good too. I enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Thanks a lot

Food taste really good especially Pad Thai and drunken noodles. Mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea is also recommended! Great staff services. Absolutely authentic Thai!

I was excited to try this place after seeing pictures of their Mango Sticky Rice and it exceeded my expectations. The mango was soft and fresh, the rice had a perfect texture, uniquely colored blue (I was told they used Anchan flower which has a natural blue color), drizzled with coconut milk and garnished with pandan leaf. Smelled amazing and tasted delicious!! I also ordered the green curry fried rice and my friend ordered the street fried rice for our meal. Everything was perfect 10/10!! Their thai iced tea was really good. great ambiance, our server was nice. We came around 6:30pm on a Saturday evening and the house was packed. We had to wait for some time to get a table. Next time, we will make a reservation in advance. People were also constantly coming in to picked up their onlin
