★★★★☆ 4.0 Bill · Jan 2026

A welcoming & snug spot that really channels Thailand with bold flavors and plenty of heat. The papaya salad was spicy and refreshing, and the Pra Sam Rod was a standout for its crisp texture and balanced mix of savory, sweet, sour, and spicy. The fried beef Neua Daad Piew was unfortunately a bit dry, and the Pad Kee Mao felt more standard by comparison. Service pacing was the main drawback during our visit with long waits between ordering, appetizers, and entrées, likely due to how busy it was that night. The flavors were still solid overall, and I’d consider returning at a less hectic time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chocolate Lover · Jan 2026

Best authentic Thai food I’ve had in the U.S. Everything was so good, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The owner and kitchen staff really care and cook with passion. Definitely recommend this place.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Archit Jha · Jan 2026

This authentic joint is a slice of Thailand on Lawrence, where every dish is a symphony of spices and flavors that dance on your palate. The Pra Sam Rod, a tantalizing fried fish in three spices, will leave you craving more while Crab Meat Fried Rice balances the sweetness of fresh crab with the savory embrace of perfectly seasoned rice. Having explored numerous Thai eateries across the city, this one stands out with its charm and character. The service is warm and welcoming, though a few more hands on deck would be ideal, as we experienced a bit of a wait for our orders. But shout out to the incredible lady steering this ship with grace and dedication

★★★★★ 5.0 pear · Feb 2026

The food was delicious especially the stir fry pork belly! Service was great and no wait on the food being served. Coconut was fresh and sweet. A cute scenery when walking into the restaurant.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nacky Choedkota · Sep 2025

This was my first time coming to this restaurant, and I was really impressed. The decoration and atmosphere feel truly Thai and very local. The service was also great. The food tastes just like what I ate in Thailand- authentic and full of flavor. It was delicious and properly spicy like real Thai food. If you can’t handle spicy food like Thai people, I recommend ordering it less spicy first (you’ve been warned, haha!). I ordered the papaya salad and it was the best! I will definitely come back again. The Thai tea was also very rich creamy and super tasty.
