Ive been going here for over 20 years and have NEVER had a bad meal! I cant believe the few bad reviews I see on here. Just tell them a number zero thru 10 for spicyness & it’ll be perfect. Food is always delicious, it’s been my one and ONLY thai food place and Ive never been disappointed. Just wish they’d reopen the dining room

Good, really well balance flavors. Enjoyed every dish we had. We will be returning for our Thai food needs… which I say because sometimes I just need Thai food.

Barely any meat in any of the dishes, ordered sweet and sour with chicken and it was literally 3 pieces of shredded chicken and thats it. And the beef salad was 90% onions and juice. Never coming back.

I got the eggplant which had good flavor but who charges $1.25 for rice? It doesn’t include rice at all. Rice should NOT cost that much. Literally every other place includes it in the meal. The entree is already $10. Very disappointed.

Spicy roasted eggplant is amazing here! Too bad it’s take out only. The lady that is always behind the register is really friendly and welcoming. If I was in the area more often this would be my go to spot.

I get the Thai fried rice spicy with chicken. Ever since my friend first brought me here a few years ago, I’ve been hooked on this place. I love the food here. I brought my daughter & mom here & now they’re hooked on this place. They love it too. My daughter brought her friend & now she loves this place. Great food & great customer service. The noodles are also very good. I recommend this place to everyone.

Good Thai food with great service. They could work on the atmosphere in the restaurant a bit by ensuring that they don’t use the dining area as food/supply storage. I got the spicy roasted eggplant with chicken and shrimp. It was delicious, but takes a bit longer to prepare so if you want it, order it as soon as possible.
