"My family and I were in the area and we were starved. We had a craving for Thai food and this spot was right down the block from where I parked. It was empty when we walked in. The man and woman working there that day were very nice. At first, we were just going to order take out but by daughter wanted to sit and eat so we decided to order a bunch of apps and then order mains to go. They have a small dining area but gave plenty of seating, with many tables and a bar area for additional seating. We order a lot of food to try while we were there and the staff was super attentive and very pleasant. When we're were finishing up our food, we ordered our mains and everything arrived to the table, well packaged with care and ready for transport. All of the food was exceptional. Grub Rundown: Tom Kha I have grown to love this coconut broth soup. This is the second place that I've had a really good bowl. It wasn't too thin and everything was flavorful. It did not lack in anything. Crispy Dumpling not my fave but was OK. The filling is a decent portion and I enjoyed the sauce that accompanied the dish. Lava Calamari these were really tasty. I just wish there were more. Chicken Wings these were really good. The crisp is perfect and the chicken was moist. Spring Rolls these were OK. Nothing extra special about them but they're good. Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice always a banger. You can't ever go wrong with this staple. Pad Thai Noodle I ordered this with chicken and had them make it extra spicy. It still wasn't as spicy as I would have liked and there could have been more noodles in the dish but it was good. Duck Red Curry this dish is pricey but it is very good. They packaged it with great intent to ensure that the dish maintained its quality for time of consumption. Everything was separated. The duck remained crispy because the curry was packed separately. It was soooo good! Coconut Ice Cream we shared this in the restaurant and it was yummy! Imthey serve dot on a plate with a chocolate sauce drizzle. The ice cream has pieces of coconut in it and my daughter absolutely loved it. If in the area, I would definitely go back. The items are way pricier than Thai food used to be, back in the day, in that area, but the food is good and the service was impeccable. After we sat down to eat, the place filled us perry quickly and that's saying something."

"It is rare that I am so interested in a place for the good reviews, but when I go there it is a total disaster. I lost my appetite halfway through this cold meal. Maybe my group of 4 didn't know what the waiter was trying to do as if he helped us, but I think he needs training. This meal was a TERRIBLE VALUE for the money. With a 20% tip (which they do not get the review would have been about $105, with 3 diet drinks and a water. Four salad dishes I found for money extremely mediocre. And a very strange shrimp appetizer packed in fried noodles that neither looked good nor appetizing, but tasted ok. What's going on? It was that the waiter decided to give us extremely slow service, which led us to be the last people we served when we were one of the first to sit. We've seen 12 people get their food before us, not take customers. If there should be a very long delay, the waiter should have mentioned it. But he shouldn't lure before the appetizer. No one likes it, or maybe his training has no appetite suppressor timing. I had a grilled beef salad that had two things on the plate. A piece of raw, cabbage, uncut what the waiter said later, was only on the garbage, although this was a salad. (I had expected Veggies to be healthy. And the grilled steak? How sad it was, a small bunch of cut meat with a spicy water sauce. It took rice bad, but he didn't offer. There was nothing on this plate next to the small pile of cut beef and the indefinite cabbage. For $14 or $15, that would be near $20 with taxes and tip. What a Siam Joke. What a literal outline to sell as badly presented foods as their cut beef salad, but their photos on their website are carefully staged, not like the actual food. I'll never trust this place again. What a joke, what a demolition, what a bad service, what a bad waiter, what a deorganized kitchen (can not get orders together and just what bad air conditioning. What a loser of a restaurant that is! I wish I had taken a photo of the moderate meal that was put before me."
