I was so disappointed in this place…read more We came here so we can get something different then the local like normal tourist trap places. So we called and ordered our food. Tom ka and Tom ka guy. We also then ordered chicken nuggets and fries for my toddler, pad Thai with beef and curry with chicken. Well the bill was 88 dollars. I brought the food home. I opened my bag and noticed my soup was missing the broth. Well it was ajar open after it was placed on its side with my other foods. Whoever packed it was not good in the service industry and put my entire order in 1 bag. So i had to pour my liquid out of my bag back into my soup. I was furious. The soup wasn't even great. Not that tasty kinda bland. A let down. I then tasted the tom ka. Ehhh nothing to write home about. The pad Thai with beef was so chewy ! It had cartilage and gristle. The curry was good. We called to complain. The lady said come in to get a new item. I wasn't driving back 20 min for a soup. Overall, so disappointing. I don't know who gave this place 5 stars. Maybe people who don't eat Thai food all the time or been to Thailand. But this was not authentic. Oh yeah chicken nuggets were soggy and so were the fries.

thai food was really solid and super cheap. highlights were the green and red curry (i liked how…read morethey weren't overly creamy) and basil fried rice; can skip the pad thai. restaurant was comfortable, clean, and can seat large groups (8+ people). from what i recall, they can also split checks.

We were almost the only ones in the restaurant for a time but when more came in she had a hard time keeping up with everything. But still she did very well. They have a nice variety of Thai curries and sushi. I love nigiri and they had a really nice variety to choose from. I tried the Tuna, Salmon, Octopus and Spicy Scallop Nigiri. The only thing I will say is that the nigiri is a little pricy. I had 8 pieces and it ended up being about $30 before tax and tip. They were big pieces but that is also difficult because you are supposed to eat them in one bite. My friends had the drunken noodles and the yellow Thai curry. Both were a big hit. I would definitely come back and try this place again and experience more of the options available.

The sushi and sashimi were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly, and food was served pretty quickly as well. As for the ambiance, the place is quite cozy, and they do have bar seating as well.

My granddaughter, who is a vegetarian, enjoyed their vegetable fried rice. My wife, who is trying to eat healthier, had their steamed chicken and broccoli dish which came with a tasty garlic sauce on the side. My dish, the seafood delight, was amazing! The dish normally comes with a white sauce but I prefer a spicy garlic sauce. The dish was loaded with shrimp, scallops and crab along with a nice array of vegetables. And the portion was huge! I only ate half and had enough for another full meal. I also had a shrimp egg roll which was nicely fried and very tasty.

The fact that they had boneless spare ribs sealed the deal for me. I ordered through UberEats and made sure to get plenty so I'd have leftovers while visiting with family for the week. We tried the boneless spare ribs combo, General Tso's chicken combo, pepper steak with onions combo, and the house special lo mein. The standouts were definitely the spare ribs--tender, flavorful, and exactly what I've been craving. The lo mein was loaded with protein and had a great amount of shrimp. The egg rolls were also spot on, and I appreciated that they gave me a generous handful of duck sauce without me even asking. If I'm being picky, I'd say the pepper steak had a lot more peppers and onions than actual steak, and the General Tso's could've used a little more broccoli. The fried rice was a bit bland for my taste--I think I'd stick with plain white rice next time. Overall though, I really enjoyed everything and would absolutely order again. For anyone missing NY-style Chinese food, this is as close as I've found in the area. Definitely worth trying!
