I'm so happy we stopped by today. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The inside is very well maintained and tidy. They have a good menu as they serve different/variety of Asain dishes from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. We ordered Thai: green papaya salad, Cambodian: beef/ chicken sticks, Vietnamese: Pho, Vietnamese: Bun luc Lac, Vietnamese: beef Banh mi, 6 egg rolls, and two Thai: teas with boba. The dishes are homemade with love. They taste like and feel like you we're invited to someone's home to eat grandma and mom's home cooking/ recipes. Definitely a great spot for some good eats!

Excellent service and warm reception. Small place but clean and comfortable…read more Ordered Pad Thai but did not taste as anticipated. On the bland side lacking the usual bit of sweetness, sour, salty and peanuty all together. Nam Kao Tod Laosian dish not bad but a bit too spicy. Cambodian marinated Beef Sticks flavorful but meat not very tender and on the dry side. Fried banana was good. Had to rerun fried shrimp for being too spicy (good flavor though). Sticky rice and mango was good but overall it was a mix feed back of different tastes. May have to come back again and give it another try and enjoy more.

With so many choices in the area, it's always a challenge to find a rose but today we did…read more The space was airy, open and impressively clean. The tables well spaced out and even counter seats if you want a quick bite. Ordered one of the best sellers, Nam Khao Tod which was impressively full of flavor with crispy coconut rice, sausage, ginger, onion and scallions, holding off on the peanuts due to food allergies which they graciously accommodated. Served with plenty of lettuce. Our second dish was the Hot Basil with chicken. Very aromatic with fresh basil, onion, peppers and tender chicken, served with steamed rice. Can't wait to go back and try something new along with one of their desserts, which, unfortunately, we didn't have any room for during this visit.

It was delicious. The wait staff was friendly. She said spice levels were 1-5. My husband and I asked her what spice level she would get for herself to get a sense of the 1-5 scale they offer and she said "7 out of 5." We ordered a 5 and were happy with it. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Roti Curry: Warm, comforting, and easy to devour. Khao Soi: Hearty and filling. What I loved most: they do not hold back on aromatics or seasoning. Everything is bold, fragrant, and generously portioned. Service was super fun, chatty, and genuinely friendly! Would 100% recommend checking this place out if you're craving big flavors and good vibes.

Just note they close between lunch and dinner, so be sure to check their hours before going. The restaurant fills up quickly, but the service is great and the staff are super friendly. The food is fresh with really good seasoning--everything is packed with flavor. Even if you like spicy food, I'd recommend going mild or medium because it still has plenty of heat and taste. Portions are generous, so it's best to come with a group and share a few dishes to try more of the menu. Prices are reasonable too. The space is beautifully decorated and very clean. Overall, a great spot and highly recommended.

There are a few places that offer the one item I use to compare all Thai and Laotian food eateries,…read morenamely, papaya salad. Som Tam. In my case Thai style. I know that I'm in authentic by not liking the stinkier, more pungent, Lao style papaya salad, but I prefer the Thai style. I said what I said. And this place is legit! Tomatoes cut by hand in the air? Check. A combination of regular tomatoes and cherry tomatoes? Check. Lots of roasted peanuts on top? Check. Asian Long Beans? Check. Plenty of very hot fiery Thai chilies? Check. Dried shrimp on top? Check. A wedge of white cabbage to cool things down? Check. Basically, an incredible sophisticated yet simple dish that I crave every so how often and love to take home with me. There's always something to discover in the market next door just remember that they only take cash or EBT cards.

I would…read morego here more often but they close so early in the day so I have to make sure I time it right. Service is always excellent I have no problems I always get what I need and my orders always right. It's a no frills hole in the wall establishment. I have perfected my order and it is always the same - beef pad se ew: delicious, piping hot, garlicky flavorful, beef is a little chewy but it's fine the noodles shine with the Chinese veggies -crispy fried rice: legit in this name crispy, chewy, refreshing paired with salad and ask for some chili fish sauce drizzle it on top delicious bites! -pork jerky: chewy, salty, flavorful but I don't care for the sauce it comes in sells out often get it while you can! It's a lot of food often I have to take a little bit togo but the portion size isn't always consistent so keep that in mind if you are with a larger party. Honorable mentions: Papaya salad is good they have 2 styles get the one that has a crab o watch out though get medium or mild it can be very spicy if you can't handle it. Recently tried the boat noodles and it was interesting very large and filling lots of noodles and toppings. Loved the fried shallots taste and texture it added you smell tom yum but it doesn't taste like it at all very unique taste I don't know what to compare it to. Try it if you want to try something fun and new.

So I've been afraid to try this place…read more.. Why? The last place that was here, was a Thai and Chinese fusion type of spot and I just heard bad things about their practices. Stuff like they cleaned or rinsed the mop in the same sink they prepared the food in. Just unsanitary things and I was concerned that this was perhaps the same business, just rebranded-still not entirely sure. Plus, the appearance kinda gave me fast food vibes-typically whenever a plus has that 'look-up menu' (a menu you have to look up at), it's the unhealthy, cheap fast food variety unseen at most every Thai restaurant. But, for some reason, I decided to give them a chance. And I'm glad I did. They may have my favorite pad thai in the area.I enjoyed it so much, I had to run it back again the next day. I'd also ordered the mango sticky rice. It was satisfying, just a little more syrupy than I care for. I forgot to get a picture of it. I only ordered delivery but I wouldn't mind stopping by in person and seeing how they do a number of my other favorite Thai dishes.
