"We waited nearly 30 minutes for just our water. When we got it, we placed 3/4 of our entire order and then waited another 30 minutes before getting our drinks. One of our appetizers was brought over by a different server 5-10 minutes after that. We onlyreceived our food after asking where it was, and it arrived cold. At this point it had been nearly two hours, so my husband whowas starving, ate his food despite it being cold. When our server asked us if we were ready for the check, I asked to speak tothe manager. When I told the manager about our horrible service and cold food, he told us that it was our fault for not having areservation and for ordering sushi. He then said that my husband?s food couldn?t have been cold if he ate it. We disagreed withthis, and asked that we not pay for our meal. The manager got defensive, loud, and argumentative. We finally agreed that hewould give us a discount. When he returned, we again asked that we not pay for the meal considering all previous events and nowthis unpleasant argument with him. He pushed back, and we mentioned that this was worthy of us writing a bad review. Uponhearing that, he took back the ticket, removed the discount, and gave us our check at full price and demanded we pay. We paid$95 for cold food and the worst, most disrespectful service I?ve ever had."

The sushi menu is a little daunting but if you can find what you like you won't be disappointed. I got the garden on eden and not only was it delicious but the presentation was immaculate!

Great Thai spot downtown! Parking maybe a bit difficult to find but totally worth it. Plenty of outdoor seating and the service is great when they see you. May have to poke your head in to get their attention. Good was amazing and great prices. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes they had.

Officially my new favorite Thai restaurant in Gainesville. They also have surprisingly good Japanese dishes! Highly recommend their curries, noodle dishes, and the katsudon. The interior isn't particularly impressive, but everything we ordered came outpretty fast and flavors were on point. We got takeout later on in the week to make sure it wasn't a fluke and we weren'tdisappointed. Service was efficient and friendly. Prices were very reasonable for generous portions and quality of food.Definitely coming back!

Visited 05/16/2022. Wanted to try a different Thai place than the one I usually go to. Food overall was good but nothing crazy. We ordered some of the pricier items such as the Salmon Truffle Carpaccio and it felt underwhelming. Chicken Pad thai, one thecheapest things we ordered, ended up being some of the best. Dirty thai tea was okay but it was chalky with the chocolate.Better off just getting the normal thai tea without the chocolate. Unagi Don was flavorful but pricey for what you get. Ambiancewas okay but the place seemed really messy. Service was fine. Overall might return but not too impressed.

This place is an absolute must stop in Gainesville. The initial walk in might throw you off but if you can make it past the front desk and manage the interesting smells you'll be in for a treat. They have a very deep drink menu which is full of a bunchof delicious non-alcoholic options, they're Nitro Thai Tea and their Caramel Biscotti milk tea were delicious. The waiters arehonest and will certainly guide you to the best options on the menu, the prices aren't updated yet on their online menu so beaware that inflation has hit this establishment but the food is well worth the price if you're okay with spending at least $20per person.

This place is a must-visit in Gainesville. At first, you might be put off by the entrance, but if you push through the initial impression and navigate the intriguing aromas, you’re in for a treat. Their extensive drink menu features a variety of delicious non-alcoholic options; I particularly enjoyed the nitro Thai tea and the Caramel Biscotti milk tea. The waitstaff is honest and will guide you to the best choices on the menu. Be aware that the prices on their online menu haven’t been updated, reflecting the impact of inflation on this establishment. However, the quality of the food justifies the cost, so be prepared to spend at least $20 per person.
