Outstanding! The service here is impeccable and the menu and food were perfection. Excellent for a mid week dinner or a fun Sunday evening pop in. Loved the fried rice! Delicious!

Excellent Thai food all around. The veggie tom yum soup had a great level of spice and tasted very authentic. The pad Thai and crab fried rice were also outstanding. Definitely a place I’d recommend.

Little hidden Thai spot with huge flavors and food. First time experiencing this place and also a Thai spot that serves coffee and breakfast items. This just solidifies more my favorite cuisine. Damn I need to go to Thailand. Anyways the waiter was so helpful and attentive. Portions are good and they didn’t have mango sticky rice but they had this egg and banana roti with condensed milk that almost made me faint. It was that good.

My friend recommended this Thai restaurant, and I was really impressed. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered Hat Yai fried chicken — it was very crispy and tasty. The crying tiger beef was excellent, and the crab fried rice was also amazing. The staff were attentive, provided great service, and were very friendly. I would definitely come back again!

Food: For appetizers, we ordered happy belly and love triangles. The love triangles are AMAZING. It's BREADED crispy tofu. 10/10. The happy belly (crispy pork belly) was a little too hard for me (like the crispy skin part). Im more of a "buche" & grilled baby pork ribs fan (not offered here bc they're not thai dishes). Entree: I got the al la carte- spicy eggplant w/ tofu, @ requested mushrooms to be added. "Extra spicy". I couldn't feel the spice at all, so I asked for hot sauce, which they brought (i think sriracha and red pepper flakes). Food tasted fantastic. The other dish was pad see eew w/ beef i think? Setting: Definitely a date spot. It's "intimate" ie small-ish, dimly lit, candle on table. Noise level moderate (people talk kinda loud here). Most tables are 2 people seaters. There's one in the middle that can do 4, and an unused outlier on the side that could do 6-8. Also yes there is a bathroom on-site. Parking is in the Ralphs plaza, i recommend parking on the rooftop, its vacant w/ lots of space to park.
