Anyway, as we looked through the menu, it's small but mighty, we ordered their fried tofu and it was delicious! Perfectly fried with that crunch on the outside and softness on the inside. The dipping sauce (sweet with crumbled peanuts) was amazing! We finally settled on food and I ordered the crab fried rice and my friend ordered the kapow fried egg. Everything was delicious! My thai tea was PERFECT! a great balance of black iced tea, sweetness, and dairy! I'm so glad that Gardena has this gem. It's in a smaller sized plaza so if you don't find parking you'll have to look for street parking but that hassle is worth the dining experience. Do yourself a favor and visit this gem!

Service was quick and food came out swiftly. Waiters were timely and polite. I ordered a thai ice tea and a classic Thai style chicken fried rice with med spice while my friend ordered some shrimp chow mein. The thai ice tea was pretty bog-standard, nothing inspiring. The rice was great. It had good heat, wasn't too wet, and had ample amounts of chicken. Whilst I did enjoy the fried rice, the flavor were slightly muted in what I imagine a perfect fried rice to be. Either way, it was delicious. My friend's chow mein was a little strange. The flavor was good but it tasted like there was excess starch or something on the noodles creating a strange texture and flavor. Shrimp was good, though not incredibly fresh.
