Hands down the best Thai food in all of NC... and who would've guessed it'd be coming out of a small town like Rutherfordton. Plot twist of the century. From appetizers to the main dishes, you literally cannot go wrong. It's so good we went twice in one week, which my stomach fully supported and my diet absolutely did not. Worth it. The flavors slap, the portions are perfect, and the staff treats you like you accidentally wandered into your friend's house for dinner. Enough said -- if you like good Thai food, this place is a mandatory life experience. See you guys next time I'm in the area... which, let's be honest, will probably be sooner than I should admit.

The atmosphere honestly feels like…read moresomething you'd expect to find in Charlotte or Asheville rather than our little corner of Rutherford County. They did a fantastic job with the space, and it definitely gives you more of an upscale dining experience when you walk in. Unfortunately, the prices were a big disappointment for us. As much as I love the idea of coming back and doing the full hibachi experience with the food cooked in front of us, I don't think we'll ever make it that far. My husband and I ate at a regular booth--no hibachi show--and our meal for just the two of us came to around $75. We both ordered fairly basic teriyaki steak meals, so the total was honestly shocking. It's a gorgeous restaurant with a great concept, and I really wanted to love it, but $75 for two people to have a relatively simple dinner is just too steep for us. I can only imagine what the bill would look like if we brought the whole family!

A employee comes outside and takes your order then you pull up to pay & receive your order. I got hibachi steak & shrimp with zucchini & onions. My coffin got hibachi steak and chicken.

The shrimp was cooked well. The steak was a little tough and small pieces. Not bad overall for the price. Decent enough for small town friendly.

They always greet you when you come in and make you feel welcomed. If you stop here try the Chicken wings with their Habanero Sauce more mild its very good!!! My husband likes the steak and mushrooms , they always cook it the way he wants it. And he also loves the scallops with mushrooms, they are really huge and very good. I have also had both meals as well and they are awesome! The only thing you have to be careful is asking for anything extra, they do charge approx $1 for a side of hot sauce, we like extra sauce on our wings and that's the only complaint we have. Its not a fancy restaurant, you can take your family and its not that expensive. Another must try is the Cheese Wontons!!! They are so good and the sauce they come with is great!! This is a must go to place! Check them out!! A hidden Gem!!

But for Landrum to have a decent Thai restaurant (and they have sushi) is a big deal. I'm reviewing 3 stars for now, did not get to try the sushi and other menu items. The restaurant is situated in the middle of the block set in the quaint, small downtown of Landrum. The sushi is prepared in the back, in an open sushi style traditional display, but no seating right there. The restaurant is clean, moderately bright, and the tables can be arranged for parties of 8, we were four. I did think the tables were a little too close together. During our meal, an adjacent four top was seated and while they were not disturbing us, the tiny waitress was bumping into me as she took their order or delivered food, enough so that I had to be aware of it so as to not accidentally wave an arm and knock a drink or plate from her hand. Our service was attentive. Pricing is reasonable for food, but I did think $14 for an 8 ounce hot sake was steep. I tried the Larb Gai level 6 and the presentation and arrangement of the dish made it easy to eat as lettuce wraps with crisp iceberg and the fresh flavors. It was well balanced and the right heat but slightly dry. A side container of a couple of additional tablespoons of the Thai dressing would be a good idea. My Tom Yum Soup entree size was ample enough for leftovers. It is very flavorful but on the sweet side comparatively to many other TY soups I've had. My protein choice was chicken and heat level 6 of 10. It seemed that everyone's dishes were slightly hotter than expected, even our friends who regularly order the same dishes felt that way. My 6 was more like an 8 and I'm a hot head eater. This often happens as variance in pepper heat in stir fry or in chef to chef variance in spice profile. I would suggest order lower and adjust up to your taste. We arrived early, 5:15 and left 7:15 and were not rushed. The restaurant was moderately busy as it was a Friday. I'm told reservations are recommended. 3 stars means "A-OK" and that is where this landed. No disappointments and also no stand out experiences, but we would dine here again.

Ordered a hamburger steak, cooked medium, emphasized hot pink in the center, with corn on the cob and french fries. Food comes out, the hamburger steak was very well done. Instead of taking my plate away, she scooped the hamburger steak onto a saucer because she had to prove to the cook that it's burnt. I wait 10 to 15 minutes for the replacement, and that's all that comes out. Corn is cold, fries are cold. I mention that to her, no response. The corn was sitting in a small dish of butter. No way to eat it, except picking it up with my bare hands, butter running down my hands. Plenty of seating available, they stuck us in a cubby that felt like we were in sardine can. Had to take my wife's bag back out to the vehicle because there was nowhere to put it. So much for the ambience. Been there, done that, never again. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because my wife did enjoy the lobster and crab bisque.
