The place isn’t as busy which made it easy to order food and get our food out at a decent time. The price and taste of the food was on par with each other. Not overly price for its good taste. I had the papaya salad with a level 2 spicyness and that was a good kick to my mouth. I can handle my spice, but I’ve had other level two spice and they aren’t as spicy as this place. So be careful about your spice level. Also had the Pad Thai, not bad at all. It was delicious. I also ordered the spicy basil with an over easy egg with it and it was good. I recommend you to order that together and ask for some red peppers with fish sauce and pour it all together with rice to eat. That was delicious! I do recommend this place to try!

I had a wonderful time here. I like how the staff is kind and down to earth. They were able to meet my experience so authentic. I added a fried egg and they knew to bring out the home made spice with fish sauce for me to add on to complete the padkrawpow dish! Thanks for making a great experience to dine with you.

The thai basil fried rice and red curry were yummy. The waitress informed that 3/5 is too spicy, which is true bc the 2/5 is spicy as well. Great price, great service, good taste!

Vegan friendly!! Menu says that most items can be made vegan, just make sure to ask. I had the green curry and it was great. We had a large/challenging group with kids and dietary restrictions and the staff was so kind and helpful with getting us all what we wanted! Only negative was that food took a long time (45 minutes) but they did warn us that it would be a while when we ordered. Overall great experience!

Nice thai restaurant at Lake Tahoe. It was not busy when we visit. Food take a while to come up. Interestingly, they serve penang curry on a plate instead of a bowl and it is not soupy. I like the Orchid fried rice. Penang curry is like a peanut sauce mix. This is the first time I have had penang curry so cannot compare. Pad kee mo is good but the rice noodle seems not that fresh. I think it was because it has been a while or was kept in the fridge. Very friendly server.
