Reviews Summary

Diners particularly highlight the extensive vegan menu and quick, friendly service.

"Authentic, delicious Thai food. Excellent and super quick service. We ordered the fresh rolls with chicken, red curry with chicken, and “Amazing” sautéed plate with chicken. Everything tasted great and fresh. I kid you not, we probably only waited 10 minutes for our food. I was pleasantly surprised! Spice level was just right. The restaurant was impeccably clean and I could see a little bit into the kitchen, which was very clean and organized as well (always a good sign!). Would definitely come back here again. Also, the rice was served in a heart shape which was so cute."

"The BEST Thai food I’ve ever had. Super authentic and fresh. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend the crab rangoons, pad thai, and basil/pineapple fried rice. Will definitely come back!"

"Best Drunken Noodles I've ever had. I had work in the area and ate lunch there every day. I had the drunken noodles, red curry, pad kra prow, and volcano. Each time, they served a soup de jour, and they were all excellent. Select your spiciness from mild to Thai hot. The staff is attentive and courteous. The vegetables are super fresh and high quality. It was my coworker's first experience with Thai food, and she was very much in love with her meal. If I could give them 6 stars, I would."
