"Decent Thai food but not the best in town. Picked up the black pepper steak and the red BBQ pork over rice. Pepper steak tasted similar to bulgogi, but it wasn?t as amazing as some people portrayed. The combination of beef with lettuce would have been better in a burger instead of rice, and a side of mayo would have enriched the flavors. The BBQ pork was also dry and it wasn?t as good as the ones I?ve tried at other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood."

We had 3 different dishes, all 3 were great. It’s a small cozy restaurant, looks like family run and food tastes homemade.

I enjoyed several of their catering dishes, particularly the beef krapow and pad see ew. The pad thai was also quite tasty. They offer a variety of rice options, along with several protein choices. You can even find Japanese options on the menu. View menu

I'm really happy I decided to visit this Thai restaurant for dinner tonight. My server was outstanding and truly enhanced my experience. The yellow curry soup with crispy egg noodles was absolutely delicious! Excellent service and fantastic food!

The best item on the menu is Khao Moo Daeng(rice with roasted red pork). The owner is very friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and served very quickly. The portions are very generous and you can upgrade to a large size for only $2-3 extra. I willdefinitely be back again very soon.

As a yellow curry enthusiast, I've had my fair share of yellow curries over the years. I can confidently say that this is the best yellow curry I've ever experienced. It’s beautifully seasoned, has the perfect amount of spice, and features deliciously roasted chicken that can easily be customized. I highly recommend it! View menu

Cute little place. Always hear from people when it comes to Thai, always try to go for those cute little places, they offer the super street style food. I had a similar experience. I had the pad thai(beef). Maybe the portion size could have been better butI also did go for the small plate. PS- they have good varieties of hot sauce.

"No soup/sandwich shop compares in terms of price per quality, portion size, and different options in the area. I only started ordering from here about 2 weeks ago and I’ve now had 7 different kinds of soups and 4 different kinds of sandwiches after the first order I started ordering two soups and a sandwich aka a soup to save for later because they’re just that good, every one of them. Price is so very reasonable and depending on which combo you get you can make out with a full sized sandwich and large sized homemade soup for $14.While it’s hard to recommend one thing over another in this circumstance since it’s all been great in their own ways, the Chicken Chowder is something I plan on getting a quart of next time it’s available. The Chicken Barley and Chicken Lemon Rice are ones I plan on getting quarts of in the future as well, and that’s not to discount the Chicken Noodle, Beef and Veg Noodle Stew, French Onion, and the current seasonal Chilled Gazpacha (which I probably wouldn’t have even tried it wasn’t from these guys . It’s all top quality.The Chicken Tarragon sandwich is my favorite in terms of sandwiches although it can’t combo with a soup as of now (please let us! . The best cheap soup combo sandwich is a tossup between the Cilantro Tuna and Ciabatta Sandwich, which are both incredible in their own ways.The only few drawbacks to this place are they don’t have every soup they make every day, are only open until 4PM, and aren’t open on the weekends. That said it’s worth it to plan accordingly for this. I never review anything but this place is worth it it’s the best if you’re a soup and sandwich person like I am."
