Crema's Take
“This Thai gem in Arden has earned serious devotion for its authentic curries, perfectly executed pad thai, and silky Thai iced tea that justify the consistently high praise from regulars who've been hunting for this caliber of cooking across the region. The warm, unhurried atmosphere and generous portions at reasonable prices make it feel like the kind of place you'll return to again and again, whether you're craving the standout tom yum soup or the fragrant black pepper and garlic chicken. If you're looking for traditional Thai flavors done right with genuine care, this is worth the trip.”

All the items were very good. Pad thai, pine apple fried rice, green curry, thai tea, etc. Price was very reasonable.
We greatly enjoyed this Thai food. We’ve been searching around Asheville for a few years to find a place good as we have in Marble Falls, Texas. We found it . I had the pad Thai, which was exquisite - shrimp cooked perfectly . My wife pad had Kemow. Servings were generous - more generous than my wife, as she would only give me one bite. Servers were very nice and food came out nice and hot. We live in Candler, but we will gladly make the trip back. In fact, maybe next week. We want to try the curry.
We had the Black Pepper and Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai Noodles, and Tom Yum Soup. Everything was delicious but the soup and Pepper and garlic chicken were the winners. The noodles were a bit sweet with fish sauce peaking through the sweetness.
The food was pretty good. We ordered the Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, Thai Iced Tea, and Massaman Curry. They were all delicious, and the portion size was generous for the price. The servers were kind, and the wait time was average. The restaurant had a nice and peaceful atmosphere, and I would probably come here again.
What an excellent restaurant! They were understandably busy on a Saturday night, but the restaurant never felt rushed or crowded. The tables are well spaced, with light music that never gets overwhelming. They seemed a bit short staffed, but the servers were still calm, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. We tried the Pad See U, Panang Curry, and the Pineapple Fried Rice. All three were absolutely delicious, full of flavor, well cooked, and fresh ingredients. The portions were huge, enough for plenty of leftovers, and well worth the reasonable pricing. If you like your Thai food spicy, make sure to request it as you order. The waitress we had did not ask for our spice preference, and just gave us the mild version.
