    Very good restaurant! Good food, huge portion and very reasonable pricing. Not the best Thai food, but for the price, really can't ask for more. Also no dine in service, but can order take out and eat there. Important to know their spicy level is outrageously spicy! For someone who loves spicy food, the medium level was intolerable. I actually asked for my Pad See wew to be remade to mild and they kindly accommodated!

    Got the green curry and the chili curry. Let me warn you first and foremost how spicy this place was. The chili curry, beef, with no added spice, is INEDIBLY spicy. Beef tastes like spicy beef Jerky which I was not anticipating. Had one bite and knew it was not for me. UNPLEASANTLY spicy and I consider myself able to take spice. Had this replaced with green curry with shrimp. Not too creamy. Not too flavorful. Not too unique. It was made WITHIN 5 minutes of taking back the previous dish. So speed was good but there is something about a dish made in 5 minutes that makes you question things. It's thai. It's spicy. It meets minimum standards. Ambiance is self serve (bc understaffed). Don't think I'll return. Just not special.

    Chicken fried rice add broccoli and mushrooms extra spicy

    The food is excellent and budget friendly and everything is always made to perfection whenever I order my food extra spicy. The atmosphere is very peaceful.

    Tom Kha Gai soup and fresh spring rolls

    Absolutely loved the food and it was well priced, fresh and delicious. I had never tried tom kha gai and loved it- not spicy as I worried. The restaurant has several spacious and clean tables to eat at, it was very uncrowded and we recieved our food quickly; however it is small so on more busy evenings I wouldn't count on a table. The girl at the counter was nice and friendly as well. Overall loved it, may go back during the week I'm in town.

    I decided to give this place a try the other day after a long week of work with no motivation to cook food for myself. First, I think the pricing is quite fair for the amount of food that you get. I placed a phone order and my food was ready in the actual amount of time given so great service. Overall the noodles were excellent! They were saucy and had all the right flavors. Warning: this can get very spicy! Think of fire ramen as the marker for medium level of spicy. I enjoy it but I know some people may not. Overall, great experience!

    Shrimp Fried Rice so good

The food is great, but oh man they're not playing around with the spice levels. I did get hot (not Thai hot), and it's enough to bring a bit of sweat, which I love. It's not enough to mute the flavor, but it's strong and it lingers on your lips. I ordered shrimp, fully expecting to be screwed on the number of shrimp(a recurring theme in my life) - But there was a decent number, and when I chopped them up enough to work for the dish. Overall, a solid experience. I'll definitely be stopping by in person some day.

I don't know if they're having an off night or something, but the food was so bad no one finished their meal. The spring rolls taste like coleslaw, the pad Thai has zero flavor and it smells like wet hay, and the wonton soup tasted like chicken water. I honestly can't believe how terrible it was. My MIL said the curry was good (that's why I gave 2 stars), but she asked for no spice and it was quite the opposite so she couldn't eat much. We spent almost $90 on this takeout meal and it was so incredibly disappointing I can't justify ever eating here again.

To start, we got moo krob (deep fried pork belly) which is the Thai version of Chinese siu yook. I have to say, I like siu yook so much more - it's a lot more flavorful having been marinated with five spice and served with delicious sweet hoisin sauce for dipping. The pork here was bland and the sauce (fish sauce based) was pretty one note. For my entree, I got rad na (rice noodles with gravy, Chinese broccoli, carrots, and choice of meat - I got pork) which was one of the best I've ever had! They used fresh rice noodles and sautéed it properly to give it the "wok hei" (wok-seared flavor). The gravy was deep and flavorful and the portion size was very good. If everything else was as good as my entree, I'd give this restaurant 5 stars. Unfortunately, my mom's Kao mun gai (steamed chicken with rice and "special sauce") was awful. She asked if the dish had any spice because she can't do spicy, and the server said no, so she decided she'd try it. The chicken was way overcooked and dry, with no flavor at all. The sauce, the only thing providing flavor and moisture, was spicy so that she couldn't eat it. We asked if there was any sauce she could get instead that wasn't spicy, and they said no, but they can give us a bottle of soy sauce. So my mom used some of that, and also took some of my rad na gravy. But because the chicken was so dry and bland, it was beyond saving. My dad got the Thai basil fried rice, mild spice. It was definitely hotter than other Thai restaurants' mild, and my dad said the spice overwhelmed the other flavors. I tried some of it and it was not bad, but nothing remarkable. They told us that traditionally, it's served with the rice on the side, which was strange to me because then it's not fried rice - it's sautéed meat and veggies with rice on the side. I am curious about how some of the other dishes taste here, but it's a shame that 3/4 of the things we ordered were mediocre to downright bad. While I enjoyed my entree, I felt bad my parents didn't enjoy their food.

The authenticity is in the work of the kitchen's staff. This is going to be my month to month Thai restaurant for visiting with friends. I ordered the pad Thai style with glass noodles. I cannot find any other local Thai restaurant that is currently serving glass noodles in this form. Almost all ingredients that are imported are extremely expensive, and since Thai restaurants are having a challenge with costs, it's a premium. My friend ordered a drunken noodle, which frankly, I should probably try some time, however, given the fact that there's not many places that makes pad Thai with glass noodles, I stick with what I know. The interior is perfect for the sit down experience, the aesthetics are pleasing, as the room is bright yellow, and I'm saying that with love. Well I was there I seen at least 10 people do carry out, so you know that's a good sign as well.

Someone in the huge crowd I waited with said it's never that crowded. I really feel like if they were organized a little better the process could have went smoother. It took other customers waiting to start calling out the names on the orders that were ready before the staff started to do so and, even then it was kind of random when they would do it. I ordered the salmon on the beach roll and the rainbow roll and was told the wait would be 30 minutes...def should have ordered by phone. The waiting area was PACKED. They said they were backed up due to a huge order they were trying to fulfill . I was wishing that they had a double door because it was freezing, especially whenever someone opened the door to go in or out. I ended up going to my car to wait. All in all I ended up waiting a little over an hour for my food, the last 20 minutes in that freezing lobby again. However...My rolls were delicious! My favorite was the rainbow roll. They were both HUGE, I've never had sushi rolls that big. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the cute little bento box but there's always next time. I would for sure go back but definitely NEVER on a Friday/holiday. Note: Came back a second time )and third and fourth, etc. lol) and the experience was so much smoother lol. I was the only person in the lobby. I ordered the rainbow roll and dancing eel roll and was told it would be ready in 10-15 minutes, which it was. I also got a cute little bento box this time. This has since become my go-to spot for sushi and the rainbow and dancing eel rolls are my regular order. I have seen some reviews on TikTok that may make me branch out and try other things on the menu though.
