    Penang curry
    Soneya S.

    Just moved to Wheaton and have been craving Thai food so I searched Yelp to see nearby options. This came up and it had a 4.0 rating, however the food I ordered was a negative zero! It was god awful! It was a pickup, I ordered the Penang curry with chicken and a side of crab rangoons. The Rangoon's were absolutely disgusting! The filling inside was grainy and not crab at all! I tried eating two and I just couldn't stomach it! It had a weird aftertaste as well. The Penang curry had frozen veggies in it that threw the whole curry off! I've never had anything in my curry except for basil and peppers. The whole meal was awful! Do not want to come in to even try anything else. Hard pass!

    Ordered beef pad see ewe and chicken tom yum soup. Pad see ewe was flavorful and delicious. The tom yum soup on the other hand, seemed off. It had the flavor of tom yum soup, however, there were so many large pieces of galangal and lemongrass compared to the rest of the ingredients. The soup lacked tomatoes and was basically just chicken and mushrooms. I requested for the soup to be mild and two large peppers were just thrown into the soup.

    Restaurant is nicely decorated, food was good and service was fine. Basil Fried Rice with tofu $15 - Delicious fried rice with firm tofu. Pad Kee Mou (Drunken Noodles) with veggies $14 - Noodles were perfectly cooked, great flavor and loaded with veggies (basil, carrots, broccoli, onion, bell peppers). Evil Jungle Shrimp $16 - The sauce is creamy and nice blend of curry and peanut flavor. The bamboo shoot and baby carrots went well in this dish. Thai Custard $8 - Big portion, spongy creamy texture, the flavor missed the spot but worth a try. Located in the same strip mall as Adelle's. Parking lot is small and fills up fast. Metered parking ($0.25/hour) on the street that ends at 6p. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

    Veggie Pad Thai

    Tried this place with my husband over lunch. We started off with Thai Ice Tea, Veggie Spring Rolls and Crab Cakes. The starters were amazingly delicious. We then ordered beef pad Thai and Veggie pad Thai which were exceptionally tasty as well. The food was served super fresh and hot. The service was great. There is plenty of parking space outside the restaurant. The ambiance was decent. I would definitely recommend this place! MUST TRY! 5 stars food!

    Beautifully designed Thai Restaurant in Wheaton. The music and prompt service makes for a great experience. We also bumped into the owner who was warm and welcoming. Everything tastes great. The Panang curry that I ordered was flavorful and balanced.

    Red Curry Chicken
    Randy P.

    We were in the area and decided to stop by this cozy Thai Restaurant in Downtown Wheaton. We ordered Curry Chicken, Fish Cakes, Fresh Spring Rolls, Papaya Salad and Satay Chicken. Red Curry Chicken was very tasty with fresh Basil and various Greens. The Satay Chicken was also delicious on skewers and perfectly grilled. The Fresh Spring rolls was also very good and a perfect option for vegetarian or health conscious consumer. Service was good and also accommodating for food allergies. Restaurant was nicely decorated with authentic Thai decor. Lighting was dim and would be a nice place for date night. Thank you

    Mango salad
    Dottie L.

    We were seated in the back corner which was nice for us to linger and catch up but we waited for service a bit longer. We ordered the spring rolls, tasty but precut and stacked together so they stuck and fell apart a bit. The mango salad was nice and crisp, the soup was my favorite! We also shared the shrimp Pad Thai, it was ok. Overall the meal lacked the spice typically associated with Thai food. we asked for spice we could add but were just brought chili flakes and dine not cook in it wasn't really helpful. So overall a good meal but not super memorable.

    Chicken fried rice
    Melissa L.

    This Thai bistro is very conveniently located right next to the Wheaton train station! I placed an order for pick up prime time Friday night. The place was super busy! At peak times, I would suggest calling ahead. It's a small space but they made it super cozy and it has nice decor. Perfect for a date night. I would avoid large groups. While the restaurant was nice, they were super behind on all their pickup orders. I was told to arrive at 6:30 for my food, and it wasn't ready until 6:50. There were a bunch of other people waiting for their pick up orders too. You could tell people were a little frustrated. The staff was accommodating, but they seemed a little flustered and there wasn't really a set person manning the front. I think an apology for the wait would have gone a long way with all the pick up people. As far as the food - I really enjoyed my chicken pad see ewe!! It was tasty and the portion was great. Very fresh. I wasn't very impressed with the chicken fried rice. I am still in search of good fried rice in the area! The cost for the pad see ewe was reasonable, but the fried rice was a little pricey for the dish. I would go back! I think I need to come on a different day and try more food to get a good feel for the proper rating.

    Fried rice chicken
    Andi H.

    I ordered directly from their website for pick up and set a time in advance to get it and the food was ready when I got there for pick up. It was about a 15 minute drive and my food was still hot when I got home! The staff was very friendly when I walked in! The chicken Fried Rice was delicious and for $14 the portion was very big, a great value! The sweet mangoes with stick rice was the star of the meal, it was absolutely delicious! Will be coming back for sure!

The potstickers were ok, but a little soggy for my liking. However, the larb gai was one of the best I've had. The chicken was white meat which I prefer, and the mix of flavors was perfect. The location in town is central and easy to get to. There was plenty of street parking available which is especially important when you're trying to pick up a take out order. The locals among our group said this was the best place in town for Thai, and they lived up to their reputation. Both in taste and service!

It's a family owned restaurant, they are friendly from the time I've picked u my food. They are also available on Uber eats I' believe. But so far these are the items I have tried: 5/5 stars: Egg drop soup- there egg drop soup is so good and unique! I have to be in the mood for this soup but they add veggies in theirs which I love. However, it's a little pricey for a vegetarian soup. I think the large is $10! 2.5/5 stars: Crab Rangoon- they look like money bags, which I've had before in a Thai restaurant. I don't know what it is about their crab Rangoon's however I feel like they're almost very bland and you can't really taste the flavor of crab Rangoon, which is why I gave that rating. 5/5 stars: Chicken Pad See Eiw- absolutely love this dish it's full of flavor, veggies and protein. 5/5 stars: Chicken Penang Curry- it's one of the most underrated Currys, but it's very good a little sweet a little hot. Served with white rice it's definitely a good try. What I love about this place is I've asked for a higher spice level and they have delivered! I cannot wait to try more items from this restaurant and I will report back hopefully.
