First visit- Ordered Drunken Noodles and Green Curry. The curry was a bit too mild (under-spicy) for my taste. Next time I'll emphasize more spicy. The server brings a jar of hot sauce and a jar of chili oil to the table. But the table side red hot sauce is not as tasty as when compared to properly sauced during the cooking process. Pleasant staffers and will come here again. Second visit- Ordered Drunken Noodles with Beef and Green Curry with Pork. I asked lady who took order if she could ask cook to make the Green Curry spicier. During the meal she checked how I liked the curry and I gave her thumbs up. She advised me to specify "Thai Spicy" and the cook will know to use additional curry spice in the future. Again, staff was very pleasant. Quite a few "to go" orders while we were eating, too. Highly recommended.
Best Thai in the area! Don't trust the old 1 star reviews! Yum! Yum! Yum! I ordered Basil Chicken w/ Ground Chicken, Pad See-Ew w/ Pork and Fresh Rolls with Shrimp.
This is our go to Thai restaurant! We live about 20 minutes away, but the drive is worth it! Everything here is good! We have not had a dish that we don't like. Items that we normally order: Pumpkin curry Pad see ew Drunken noodles Kao Soy Vegetables and noodles in broth Ownership changed around 2022, but the food remains just as good!
I used to work close by this restaurant . My friends and I would frequent this spot. Loved their house fried rice and samosas! So bomb!! Honestly haven't been there since before Covid but recently, I was working nearby and it was one of my bestie's birthdays. I thought it'd be nice to bring her dinner from this spot since we used to eat there often. I ordered: pad Thai, samosas, potstickers, chicken satay, house fried rice, yellow curry & Thai teas. All so delicious! The ambiance of the restaurant is very small and seems like they do mostly takeout. Make sure to ask for hot sauce cause they don't automatically do it. Overall, will be back!
Had the pad Thai with chicken, jasmine rice and egg rolls. Food was excellent and will definitely have again. Good selection of items in the menu, so something for everyone. Highly recommend!
