    This place is amazing! Quality tasty food. With great portions and wonderful service.

    It was the out door patio that attracted us while driving by. They could use a more visible sign. A little hard to see. Food was good. But I've had better Thai. Our server was nice. We were there an hour before closing. And when it's closing time they don't kid around. They are ready to go! They bring out the check, drop off to go boxes. Not a bad spot

The Korean-style wings were juicy on the inside crispy on the outside and nicely sauced. The okonomiyaki tots were also a hit and worth ordering. It's located inside Topa Topa Brewing Company and the setup is straightforward. You order at the counter they give you a buzzer and pick up your food when it's ready. The service was so nice especially for counter service. They paid attention to small details without us having to ask and having worked in the service industry we definitely noticed and appreciate that The vibe is casual and family friendly. Dog friendly and kids running around, it's super relaxed. Food comes out fast and it's a chill spot to hang out

Every single thing they serve is quality. The chef and founder's got a cool story -- you can look up a short doc on YouTube. It's Bermese food mixed with American. The Biryani, Crispy Rice Salad, Potatoes, Breakfast Plate, Granola, Congee, and Spicy Chicken & Waffle are all great. Ask if you can have a side of their chili oil -- I believe it's made in-house and they even sell it to take home. I would've gotten a bottle but they were sold out! Their cafe is also awesome. We got their chocolate chip cookie, croissant, danish (forgot which one), and sourdough and they were all good. Drip coffee is good + their caffeinated black tea (also forgot the name)! Lastly, the customer service was top notch. Your server will check up on you every 10ish mins or so. Always very accommodating and very friendly, too. Best believe we'll be back sooner rather than later! Thanks The Dutchess Crew!

Orders are placed at the register and pastries are given to you right away, and you'll receive a table tent so they can bring your coffee out. The pastries were really good, with a nice variety to choose from. The only thing that would have made them even better is if the savory pastries were heated. The coffee, however, took quite a while to arrive. We had already finished our pastries and our table was cleared before it finally came out. I went back to grab a few more pastries, and while I was away, a gnat flew into my coffee. I brought it back to the register, and they graciously replaced it without any issue. The second cup came out quickly and was noticeably hotter than the first. It seems like Saturdays can get pretty busy, so it might be a better experience to visit during the week if you can. There are several public parking lots nearby, along with street parking

You truly can't miss w/ the padthai: classic, perfectly balanced, & sooo satisfying. The papaya salad w/ shrimp was my personal fav; one bite had me craving more. I'm honestly drooling just thinking about it while writing this. The restaurant is on the smaller side & fills up rather quickly, often reaching a full house, so going earlier in the day is the best way to fully enjoy both the food & the experience. The servers are efficient, attentive, & keep everything moving seamlessly. If you love thai cuisine, this spot is a must visit. I highly recommend!

    It was a cold rainy day. Not many people when we arrived,…read moreand with all of the doors open to the patio, it was COLD. even in the back near the kitchen. Pretty good vegetarian. Good portions. Pricey because of the location. PARKING There's a lot just up the street and plenty of street parking around. FOOD (lunch) Vegetarian options include fried tofu. Excellent. Portions are generous, but not "shareable" big for lunch. Great curry flavors. Not too spicy tho. It's a little in the expensive side - but that's the tax for being so conveniently close to everything. TOFU PANANG - Good. Not spicy at all. More rice would've been nice. CHICKEN PUMPKIN CURRY - Very Good. Tender pumpkin/squash pieces. SERVICE There were many to go and delivery orders today. We were given menus and the server (only one today) had to disappear to prep all of the dine out orders. We ordered, then they were gone again until drinks and food came together. INTERIORS I couldn't help notice all of the greasy cobwebs on the high ceilings and on some of the art. It's been here for a while - people like it, but you notice. (I think it's hard to reach & clean those areas) The chairs aren't very comfortable, but maybe that's just because it was so cold in here today. BATHROOM Serviceable.

I had been searching for a place to have lunch with my husband and stumbled upon this gem on Yelp after reading the amazing reviews. I really wanted to try it. The service here is impeccable. Our server, a delightful and helpful young woman, took our order with great care. I opted for a wonton soup with a medium level of spice, while my husband savored a plate of rice and pork, saying it one of the best he's ever had--a testament to his love for rice. To complement my meal, I also had an Iced Thai tea, which was also delicious. The flavors were so delicious that I couldn't resist ordering another the very next day!

Tom kha was creamy, tangy, and actually had flavor (which feels rare these days). Larb chicken was fresh and herby, giving "I'm being healthy but still enjoying my life." The garlic black pepper shrimp had a nice kick and hit the spot, plus it came with white rice on the side, which I appreciated since most places charge extra. Portions were generous (had leftovers for the next day), packaging held up, and nothing arrived looking tragic, which is always a win with delivery. Service-wise, everything was smooth. Order was accurate, ready on time, and packed well, which honestly makes a big difference with delivery. Haven't dined in yet, but based on the photos, the space looks casual, clean, and no-frills, like a solid go-to spot when you just want good food without the fuss. Solid, flavorful, and didn't make me feel like I sacrificed taste for "low carb." Would order again when I'm trying to be a little disciplined but still eat good.
