Customer Reviews
This spot offers a unique Thai-fusion twist, with plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. The standout dish for me was the nut medley salad—unlike anything I’ve tried before, with a mix of nuts and fresh fruits/vegetables brought together by a bright, tangy dressing. The tofu burrito was decent, and the service was quick and friendly. Overall, the ambience was pleasant, making it an interesting place to try.
Tom Kah soup was thick and flavorful, easily shared with wife. Pad see ew noodles were perfectly fried and tender chicken. I compare it to going to a friends place who cooks a wonderful meal for you!
DO NOT COME. I don’t know what had happened but this place is OVERPRICED with NOT-AT-ALL-FRESH food. The potion is SMALL, $50 dish is similar size with a $25 one in LA. Seafood and fruits both taste like wax. Ordered so-called fresh lilikoi juice. Taste just like any canned juice and they charge $7 a bottle. They also got white/brown rice order wrong but that’s small deal comparing to the others. Staff do smile at you but the food quality makes you wonder if they’re laughing at your stupidity for dining here.
The pizza Thai is actually the pretty disappointing! Apart from the cover which is nice and crispy, the inside is bland, tasteless and guey. Despite the reviews, this was not good. The panang curry was fab!! Loved it. Good mix of veggies. Would get that again. The curries are awesome. Live they have vegetarian vegan options. Service was prompt. Bonus points that the closed bathroom was female!
Generous portion sizes. 1 dish is easily sufficient for 2 people. We had tom kha and Tina's thai pizza. Tom kha soup was very delicious.
