"We ordered Beef Pad Thai and egg drop soup, as well as Orange Chicken and tom yum soup. The egg drop soup was good, similar to what you would find at other restaurants. The broth in the tom yum soup was outstanding, but be warned—it was quite spicy! Both entrées were absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were incredibly generous; we will easily get at least two more meals from the leftovers. The prices were slightly higher than average, but reasonable for a sit-down restaurant with table service ($15-16 for each entrée and $3-5 for each soup). Our meals were served in a plastic to-go container with a lid, along with a Styrofoam container, but they also provided nice plates and silverware. I appreciated that the food was already packed up for leftovers, which avoided the mess of transferring food after our meal. We served ourselves portions on the plates and enjoyed eating from those. Throughout our meal, the staff checked in on us several times to refill our drinks and ensure we were satisfied. I also loved the long tube fortune cookies—they are so much tastier than the traditional ones! As we left, the staff wished us a good night and expressed their hope that we would return soon. I appreciated the balance of attention; I don’t like to be overwhelmed while eating, but it was nice to have our drinks refilled and to be acknowledged when leaving. We will definitely be back! Additionally, one of the staff informed us that while they don’t serve alcohol, we’re welcome to bring our own beer (she suggested the Indian grocery next door) to enjoy with our meal, although the staff isn’t permitted to handle alcoholic beverages. I thought it was very considerate of them to share this information."
