Entrance

I was visiting Iowa for a week and my friend recommended this place as the best thai place in town. Great recommendation I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. My server, alex was very attentive and gave great recommendations for new things to try while dealing with my numerous questions. He recommended the pad bai ka prao which was a 10/10 the plate was clear in 10 minutes. The chicken satay was also very good especially with the different sauces. I loveee the dressing on the small salad it had alot of flavor. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the panang curry. That is my go-to thai dish and it was good but it wasnt anything special which was a bit disappointing. That being said the overall experience was amazing would definitely go again to try some more dishes!

Best Thai we've had in Iowa City! They actually spice up their food nicely, unlike other spots who assume we don't actually mean we want it spicy. Great flavors, good portions, and nice ambiance. Can't wait to be back!

Sign clearly says open until 2

Staying downtown Iowa City got there at 1 37, hostess told me we close at 1 30 even though the sign says lunch open until 2. Not good business to turn customers away when sign says we are open until 2

Pad thai

Went there on Monday and ordered chicken pad thai. They have special offers on Monday lunch. However, Pad thai is something that we order whenever we try any thai food. To me, it was the worst pad thai I ever ate tried. -The smell was like dry fish -Pad thai without lemon, I can't even imagine -Almost rotten bean sprout

Beef Pad Thai To-Go

I had the tarot ube brulee boba tea and it was the best tasting boba tea I have ever had in my…read morelife. And I profoundly love boba tea and do not get it anywhere near as frequently as I desire. It was so rich and creamy, a heavenly blend of ube and caramelized goodness with perfectly tender boba pearls that have me yearning for more. We got it at 50% sugar and it was still very sweet so next time I would probably go for 25% sugar even. They also have shave ice and mochi donuts and they had neither of those when I was there because it was pretty late but you bet I'm going to be back soon to partake of this deliciousness as well! I love the decor, lots of green and cozy and clean and bright. So perfect! Service was fast and friendly! They also have ordering kiosks that let you get exactly what you want without having to talk to anyone. I always joke that Iowa city has more bubble tea places per capita than than anywhere I've ever lived... So fortunate to be living here!

When you walk in, you'll order using the kiosks which is super easy. I got the Kyoto matcha creme…read morebrûlée and it was very good! At first, it tasted perfumey, but it got better the more I drank it. The place is super cute and inside the mall so there are plenty of shops and restaurants you can visit while in this area!
