We also ordered the papaya salad with shrimp and the chicken Tom Yum soup. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on, and every dish tasted fresh and well prepared. The papaya salad was perfectly balanced--not too sweet and not too sour. The Tom Yum soup was incredible. My husband usually doesn't eat soup, but he loved it and kept commenting on how flavorful it was. The fried rice was also excellent, and the lunch special was a great value for the price. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. I can't wait to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!…read more I was honestly so impressed. To be fair, I haven't been to many Thai restaurants that I didn't enjoy, but this place really stood out. The quality of the meat was excellent, and every dish was packed with flavor. The service was calm, friendly, and attentive. I was actually surprised by how quiet it was because the food deserves a much bigger crowd. What really blew me away was the portion size for the price. The servings were huge and such a great value. We had enough food to easily feed 5-6 people, and the bill was still incredibly reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!

We got the pad see ew with tofu, veggie spring rolls, "beef" basil with green beans, and a Thai tea with coconut milk. Everything was comforting, flavorful, and had that real home-cooked feeling to it. Just really delicious food that you want to keep eating. The best surprise was finding out that Tuesdays are all plant-based. We had no idea when we ordered, and honestly, what a cool thing to do! The "beef" basil with green beans was so good, and the whole meal left us excited to come back and try more. There's something really special about finding a true neighborhood spot like this. We love this city and love being able to support local businesses. Miya is exactly the kind of place we want to see thrive. We will definitely be coming back! I can't wait to dine in as well. The restaurant is so cozy and aesthetic pleasing and all of the staff we briefly interacted with for the pick-up order were so warm and friendly!!

We got the Yellow Curry Chicken, Thai Tea, and Mango Sticky rice as well (just not in the photos) and those were also a staple. All were phenomenal and had such rich flavor. The Khao Soi Chicken was truly the star of the restaurant and I would definitely recommend this dish for anyone interested in trying thai cuisine. The service is always friendly and the ambiance is very warm and pleasant. It's a very humble and family/neighborhood oriented space. I would recommend to come visit them early (they open at 11:30) since people do line up to eat here. It's a little small in the main area but they do have another dining area on the other side so seating is in fact plenty! There is street parking right out front but if there's none, not to worry there's a lot of parking in the neighborhood so the walk over is relatively short. We love Miya and can't wait to try their other dishes!

The restaurant was modern and clean and my friends said they liked how everything was set up. Since it was a big party, the food was a set course menu. We shared everything family style and the food was amazing. I loved the soft-shell crab curry, but everything was amazing. The dessert was this ice cream on dry ice with a presentation. The staff was so sweet during this time and super attentive. I had such a wonderful time celebrating this event. At the end, they even gave us cute tote bags that we will use for groceries. Definitely book with them!

They also offer happy hour and great cocktails. Private dining rooms are available. My dear friend and I came here for lunch in celebration of her 42nd work anniversary. Restaurant exterior has a big elephant statue in front of it... great photo op! Inside space had dark wood appeal to it... very clean and well kept. Upon entry, we were greeted and seated right away. It was still early so not too busy at the time. Staff was friendly and cordial. Service was decent. Lunch special menu had limited items. Their prices start from $19 and up. Just one tiny gripe, portions were small for the price. My friend ordered the Crispy Duck Salad. It came with crispy tempura-battered duck, fresh mixed sprouts and grapefruit, pine nuts and tahini topped with drizzles of blended hoisin sauce, chu hou sauce, and plum sauce. Greens were great, but duck was a tad salty for my taste. I got the Truffle Wok Seared Noodles with Scallops (lunch portion). It was recommended by our server, Cameron. Thank you for the delicious recommend! Dish came with a small bowl of intensely sour, spicy, salty, and aromatic Tom Yum soup... very good! Overall dish was amazing served with tasty wok-flavor handmade egg noodles and perfectly cooked scallops complemented with yummy mushrooms, brussels sprout leaves, and Thai basil all tossed in a dark black truffle sauce. YUM! I slurped up the noodles in a jiffy. Unfortunately, it only came with 3 medium sized scallops. I would get this again if it came with 3 more scallops and more noodles. Overall dining experience was pleasant, cozy, and delicious. Thanks Star Leaf!

I stopped by here around 7PM on a Sunday and thankfully was able to find street parking quickly (bonus--parking was free on Sundays). The menu is pretty simple but has all of the Thai standards like noodles, curry, and rice dishes. I opted for the Pad Thai, which was delicious. It came with chicken as well as two pieces of shrimp, and the portion was very generous. The food also came out in around 10 minutes, which I was very grateful for as I was pretty hungry when I ordered. The cafe is fairly casual and there were several people picking up takeout orders. Most dishes were under $20 which I think is very fair in this day and age. Definitely looking to return and trying some of their other dishes (fried rice looked good, maybe I'll try that next).

It's not a huge restaurant, but they have a decent number of tables inside and out. When we were there, they had three workers -- one waitstaff and two in the kitchen. Generally, the food came out pretty quickly, which was impressive given that the one person handled all of the tables. The things we got that were pretty good were: pad see ew, pork fried rice, pork hock rice, and kee mao noodles (probably our favorite of everything). The things we got that were okay, but not great, were: beef pepper rice and crispy pork appetizer. Service was friendly. They do have a small lot but I can imagine parking being a challenge if they're busy. Interestingly, they 'borrow' the next door coffee shop's bathrooms. Is it the best Thai restaurant in the area? Probably not. But it's still pretty good and worth trying.

As we entered from the back, I could see you can sit outside patio too, I was very amazed at all of the unique authentic decorations.

There are some many dishes to choose from : Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Curries, Stir Fry & Veggies, Fried Rice, Pan Fried Noodles, Noodles Soups, Grilled BBQ, Cold & Hot drinks, Pot of Tea, beer, white & red wines, desserts.

It was good but now how I prefer khao soi- 3.5/5 stars. Beef salad was wonderful. Beef tender and flavorful with some red onions and romaine lettuce. Flavor 5/5, execution 3.5/5. 7 slices of beef and romaine didn't do it for me. The dressing was incredible but I wish there would have been some tomato or cucumber or Thai eggplant in there to make it filling. Tables were far enough apart I felt comfortable and the decor was very cute. Small inside but cozy. Parking on the street and the hospitality was out of this world. Varee is exceptional and was the best server. I felt like I was with family and wouldn't hesitate to come back again when in the area. Her Thai tea was also fantastic - not overly sweet, just right. Aroy Dee!

We ordered: + Cream cheese wontons - the wonton was fried light but crispy, and filling was plentiful. A little pricey without having any imitation crab or green onion in there. (5 for $10.95). + Tom Kah Soup - this tasted pretty good but not like other tom kah soups I've had? The opacity of the soup was a little more transparent. Veggies included tomato, mushrooms, broccoli, and cabbage. + Kang Kiew Wan (Green Curry) - with chicken. First bites were excellent but as you ate on, it was on a saltier side so make sure to have rice on hand. Ordering here, rice is an add on but we cooked some at home so was all good. Besides the wontons, the price to portions of the other items were very good. We ordered through doordash and the price was consistent as what was on their menu too.
