"EDITED SAME NIGHT; PLEASE READ BOTTOM FOR UPDATE Be wary of All You Can Eat weekend dinner service. I took my mom, sister, and best friend here for the All You Can Eat because me and my best friend had been before and it was fantastic. We always came before during the week in the early evening because it fit our schedule, but due to time constraints this time we came on a Friday evening at 6pm. We were quick to be seated, got our drinks order in and that took just a few short minutes. We put in our first food order and it took nearly 20 minutes before we received our green salad, seaweed salad, and two pieces of nigiri (cold sushi). The female server set the food down quickly and left just as swiftly before we could ask about the other food items we had ordered. Another 15 minutes and we received another part of the food we'd ordered (calamari, shrimp skewers, and only 1 of 3 takoyaki we'd originally ordered). We managed to snag our server as she sat 2 more tables in her section to order some more food, hoping that ordering it early would help, but to no avail, the wait was just as gruelling. Out of all the food we'd ordered across being there for 2 and a half hours, we had barely received half, while the tables who were sat and ordered after us continuously received their food. Our server repeated the items we ordered back to us every time, but when asked about it after waiting 20-25 minutes she couldn't seem to find our order (this happened twice). After my mom and sister got fed up with waiting and wanted to leave, I asked to talk to a manager who, granted, was helpful and took 20% off our order and let us take the last small order of food we had put in (that we had been waiting 30 minutes for) to go with us. I'm genuinely disappointed because the food is AMAZING and me and my best friend love coming here. I feel the small female server doesn't really care too much about the patrons, and if we come back and are given her as a server again, I will politely ask for another. Based on other reviews I can concur that the wait times are egregious on the weekend evenings, at least on Fridays. EDIT: We got home and sat down to eat the take-home sushi and specifically my 2 pieces of Nigiri had big smears of wasabi on the bottom of each piece, which I didn't notice until I had split a piece in half and shared it with my 11-year old brother. The ice cream they had put into containers, were put in the bottom of the bag and noticed when I took the other food out that they weren't closed all the way and the ice cream had melted and spilled all over and soaked the bag. An incredible act of pettiness that was completely unnecessary. I won't be returning."

"Let's address the negatives first. There is a middle-aged woman with short hair who frequently works the register, takes orders, and serves customers. Unfortunately, she's not very suited for the front-of-house role. During my latest visit, I repeatedly asked for extra napkins, but she didn’t respond until I stood up to get her attention, only to find out she was wearing earbuds. She had loud YouTube videos playing on her phone, which disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. When I said thank you and goodbye, her only reply was, "Yeah." Thankfully, there is a younger woman who also handles orders and is much more friendly and professional. I have a suspicion that the older woman may own or run the restaurant. **8/24 Amendment:** The service has significantly improved since my initial review. This restaurant now truly deserves 5 stars. That said, the quality of the food far outweighs the earlier service issues. It's the best Thai restaurant I've tried within a 25-mile radius. I usually order dishes spiced at a medium level, and while I think I could go for a bit more heat, the flavors are spot on, and the food quality is outstanding. Their Pad Thai is excellent, with just the right amount of fresh, crisp vegetables to balance the soft noodles. The curries are fantastic—especially the spicy green curry, which is a standout. They also offer great rice options, both brown and white, and the appetizers are delicious (the salad rolls and Golden Tofu are particularly noteworthy). The prices are on the higher side for Thai food, with a meal for two to three people typically costing around $50-60, plus tip. Given the excellent quality of the food, I believe it’s worth the price. I try to refrain from being overly critical of local, family-run businesses, and I always tip generously, but I do wish they would improve their service. If they did, I would easily bump my rating up to 5 stars. As it stands, they deserve a solid 4 stars."
