Servers were very attentive and friendly. I had an order of egg rolls and the Rock Pho Special pho. The egg rolls were freshly made and cooked..and they were excellent. The sweet and sour sauce wasn't the standard syrup you get at many Asian places but was deep red and very tasty. The pho came out extremely hot and absolutely loaded with meat.

Spacious clean area, friendly attentive staff and you'll be able to hear the people you are talking to. So far I've never had to wait more than a minute to be seated, order taken within a few minutes after receiving menues and food comes out at a timely manner.

The service was quick and they helped us figure out what to order, which was nice. The papaya salad was very tasty, and we were able to choose between Thai style and Lao style which was nice to have the option. We chose Lao style, which was less sweet, and we all really enjoyed it. The shrimp tom kha soup was extremely flavorful and good, but a little too salty, so it was hard to finish the whole thing. The rest of the dishes we shared (green curry and pad see ew) were both cooked well and we have no complaints. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a Thai spot in the area.

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more!

I have been to the other location on Perryville and that's a bigger location so I thought I would give the smaller location a try. Growing up as a Laotian American, the food is very similar growing up so I kind of compare every type of Southeast Asian cooking to my moms and other family members. I happen to order the crab rangoon and the Pad See Iew, which is stir fried thick long noodles in a soy sauce. I have to say the crab rangoons aren't that bad, I would order them again and the noodles.Next time I would try something I haven't had before. Overall, its a small location but it has good traditional Thai food which many people won't be able try unless you have friends that make you try it or you grew up with it. I would say give it a try and explore your taste buds. I would come back again and go outside my comfort zone.

I'm really confused as to why people are raving about this restaurant. Service was fine, and the…read morerestaurant is definitely really cute--it's spacious and there's a nice open bar--but the food was a major disappointment. We ordered four dishes: the chicken satay and the sakoo yat sai for appetizers, and the mok pa and the praram long song for entrees. The satay was okay--four huge skewers of chicken drenched in a sweet sauce. The sauce was too sweet for my taste. The sakoo was mostly tapioca, wasn't able to taste the filling much. The mok pa had a strange bitter flavor, and the praram long song was basically a fried chicken thigh and sautéed vegetables. All the dishes were relatively devoid of flavor and every dish had some sort of peanut sauce to accompany it (probably to compensate for that lack of flavor). Portion sizes were decent for the price. The check ended up coming out to around $50/person without drinks. Overall, I got the impression that this is the type of restaurant that you go to for the ambience and not the food. I'd like to give this place another shot because the food is really visually appealing, but I think you can easily find better Thai food at a significantly lower price point.
