I’ve been coming to this restaurant since 2018. The restaurant interior is not very bright, however, very colorful. I’ve ordered Pad See Ew, Thai fried rice, Thai iced tea and crispy garlic chicken. Everything I have tried were all delicious and flavorful. Service has been great and prompt.

Amazing hole in the wall restaurant. It's never really busy and never disappoints. When I go there I typically order 4 to 6 entrees between my girlfriend and I because we simply can't choose because everything is so good! And who doesn't like left overs? All their fried rice dishes are amazing. All their curries are to die for. I highly recommend this place. And don't be nervous to mix it up they know what they are doing. Always great service. Always awesome quality food for a good price

I order from here at least once a week. Easy to use their online order form and go pick it up. I typically order panang chicken curry and it's great. Also often order pad kee mao (drunken noodles) which are also very good. It's better at this dishes than several other locations in the area and is close to my work so I can pick up easily. Dined in a few times and it's nice enough inside too.
