A solid weekday lunch location. Clean and has seating inside and out. Order via a kiosk or by a waitress. But waitress ordering takes a lot longer. They have a good lunch plate menu. Panang curry is my go-to test plate and they passed. They add a small veggie egg roll. I didn’t see an option for brown rice. Feb 2025 update. I enjoyed it even more this time and bumping to four stars. Panang curry is quite tasty. Same with pad Thai . Service was much faster this time, maybe because I ordered using the kiosk. Saves the one extra wait cycle for the waitress.

My coworkers and I love this restaurant! We’ve never had a bad meal but the panang curry and spicy eggplant really stick out. And of course we never forget to get the roti appetizer

The Thai theme was well-executed, with decor and atmosphere that reflect the traditional Thai style. The service was notably late, which affected the overall dining experience. It took longer than expected for the food to arrive. Food is average and didn’t stand out as exceptional or particularly memorable in terms of flavor or presentation.

I like that place quite a bit. The food is good and spicy, although I limit myself to medium, in regards to spiciness level (could go hotter but then I'd have to deal with the heartburn). The waitress, who could be the owner, is super nice and always smiling. It's best to get there early for lunch because it gets packed quickly, compounding the fact that the place is small. If you get there at 12, you will probably have to wait 10-15min to get your dish. It's not a problem but something to be aware of.

The shrimp pad Thai is pretty decent here. I would have liked some peanuts but otherwise I liked the shrimp size, sauce, and egg amount.

Literally the worst Pad Thai I ever had. The Thai Iced Tea was good, but all four of us did not want to even eat our meals.

Food was below average for Thai food around the area..the pad Thai was dry and not very flavorful, and it was $16. Don’t think I’ll be going back…

We love this restaurant! We go often for dinner, and the green curry has ruined me for every other Thai restaurant’s green curry! we also love the papaya salad, the chicken satay, the stir-frys, and the mango sticky rice. The waitress is so sweet, and everything quickly comes out hot and fresh. I honestly don’t know how there are some bad reviews; we’ve gotten takeout for two large friend groups from here, and it was rave reviews all around.
