The Malaysian in me always looks for a Malaysian restaurant when I'm traveling. I was so so happy when I stumbled upon this. Needless to say, I had to give it a try. The restaurant was accessible by train (Circo Massimo is the station), it was 6 stations away from or hotel with an interchange in between. Walked in as they opened and they asked us if we had reservations. I was like I don't but that's a sign they're doing good at what they do. We were seated anyway but I did see how it started getting busier not looking after. I ordered some chicken spring roll, kuey tiow, nasi goreng Malaysia and fish in Tamarind sauce (pretty spicy so watch out!). I was in love! Everything was so delicious and tasted just like home. The owners and chef were Malaysians so it is as authentic as it can get! They showed extra attention to us once they learnt I was a Malaysian origin. Meeting one of your own abroad always unites us strangers in ways I can't explain. A must try if you're closeby. I wished I had this option where I lived. Left a piece of my heart here. Only disappointment, they didn't serve the Malaysian signature drink teh tarik. Otherwise, would've been PERFECT!

We didn't expect it to be very authentic or tasty, as there are much more options of Asian food in South California. But, surprisingly we found this is probably the best meal of our trip and we finalized all 4 dishes!! The highlights are mango salad and crispy pan fried sea bass, super yum!!!!

Those reviews helped us decide on this place to eat. My wife and I needed a break from all the pizza, and pasta. Luckily we found this gem near the Vatican Museum through Yelp, which is minutes away, and really close to our Best Western Spring House hotel. We were expecting decent food, as it was a change of pace, but I was thoroughly blown away by how flavorful the food was. I've had a lot of Thai food in NYC, which doesn't make me an expert on Thai food by any means, but does help give context in explaining my rating. Everything was top notch. We ordered the sampler to start off, beef masaman, and pineapple fried rice with chicken as our main course. The sampler came with a beef skewer, a chicken skewer, mango and papaya salad, 2 shrimp rolls, a spring roll, a fish ball, and a shrimp donut. Everything was seasoned well and had great flavor. My wife and I both couldn't really pick one thing we liked the most. It's usually pretty easy for us to pick, but the consistency of the quality, and different flavors made it hard to decide. Hats off to the fantastic chefs in the back. The pineapple fried rice was flavorful, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The peas didn't taste frozen, nor did the cashews tasted stale. You'll be surprised how many places screw this up for such a simple dish. This dish was really good with the beef and masaman. The beef and masaman was the best dish for our main course. The curry was not too hot spice-wise, had flavor blended with the coconut milk, and worked well with the beef, potatoes, and pineapple. White rice was also ordered to help soak up the curry. Needless to say my wife and I ate everything. For dessert we had the rice balls with black sesame. It came out hot so the sesame was oozing out of the rice ball when we dug in. The slight hint of sweetness worked well with countering all the savory flavors we had from the main course. You could make out all the distinct flavors of rice, coconut, black sesame, and chocolate that the restaurant used to garnish the dish. We finished everything and was impressed by the attentive service of the wait staff, and the quality of the food. This is a place I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Rome.

Since we were in Rome and had our fair share of pizza and pasta we decided to try this restaurant. The first thing I noticed was how cute the restaurant was. We sat in a booth that had pillows for your back, I feel like every restaurant should have this. I will admit that from the outside this restaurant does not look like anything special. We arrived around 9:30 PM in the middle of the week and there was only a couple of other guests dining. I ordered vegetable Thai fried rice. It should be noted that this is my go to Thai dish whenever we eat out. The dish is so simple, so if someone messes it up I'm deeply concerned. Unfortunately for me this restaurant messed it up. My fried rice was yellow, extremely yellow in color. It also tasted nothing like Thai fried rice. I honestly think that they added yellow curry paste, that would be the only way for that taste and color to happen. I was disappointed with my meal, especially the portion size. You get a lot of food when dining in Rome, I did not get a lot here. However; my meal was about eight dollars so maybe I should take that into consideration. I wouldn't consider this place to be authentic Thai food, maybe a well welcomed break from pizza and pasta but not typical Thai food that's for sure.

I tried three dishes: Kung Pow Chicken or as it is on the menu, Chicken in "Salsa Chili," Green Cury Chicken, and Asian Mixed Vegetables. All three were very, very good. For me, the ingredients (veggies especially) were fresh and chicken was a good cut of meat. For my taste buds, they were not at all spicy. I dressed them up with the table hot sauce. I also asked for some dry, powdered pepper/chilis (I think they brought cayenne pepper powder). These were the perfect touch! Really good and friendly service in a cozy and warm setting.

I love Thai food , and this is by far the best Thai restaurant I've been to! Honestly, I'm not sure how authentic it was, but still had a wonderful meal. Seriously, prices were more than reasonable, pleasant plating, excellent service. Shocking since it was a random pick, and I didn't anticipate enjoying my meal as much as I had. First of all, $2 for a couple veggie spring rolls that were ammmazing!? I had a papaya salad (thinking they mistook mango for papaya), but nonetheless refreshing! The curry pastries also very delicious, the orange chicken, and spicy noodles were too great! I'm sure the servers were annoyed about our horrible Italian, but all were very friendly, prompt, and hospitable! When we arrived there was only one other family dining, but as we left the place was packed and for good reason... this place is great! I highly recommend you stop by if you want to venture off the Italian course for a meal!
