    Dirty booths
    Mike O.

    Place is filthy. Booths are so dirty, tables are sticky. Total neglect. Wonder what the kitchen looks like. Food is not fresh. Been sitting on the steam table for hours it looks like. Very dry. No flavor. All frozen. Serving utensils are cover with Saran Wrap. Makes me think they don't wash them. Hot and spur soup is neither hot nor spur. Egg rolls and other deep fried items are bitter. Oil is most likely old.

    Very rude. I do not recommend.

    If Thai food in Cincinnati were a prize fight, this place would win by knockout in the first round…read morewhile the rest of the restaurants are still trying to find their gloves. Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork.

    Came back again to try this place out and I still feel the same about it. Nothing really stood out…read moreand tasted a little bland. The duck was deep fried like a country fried steak. Steamed vegetables tasted like they were out of a bag. Lastly, the sauce barely tasted like tamarind. Was this worth $30? Absolutely not. Seared salmon was ok. The service was great. The place felt clean and seemed liked a good hangout spot.
