Matt Curaming
Not gonna lie, this place is actually a great addition to the eateries at Melrose…and compared to the most places here, it’s affordable. Food is tasty, has a great variety, and they have lunch specials. Definitely would be back to try more things. Only got to try the Pad See Ew, Sweet and Tangy Wings, and the Grilled Pork Butt with a side of rice.

Beef curry was really delicious, thought the service was quite good and they had an interesting menu. Clean bathroom and restaurant. Wish they had more seating options but overall was super happy with the food and service. I didn’t think the curry was as “sweet” as some reviewers mentioned and thought the food was high quality, and a good price for the generous portion. Loved the bok choy garnish and the brown rice was beautiful.

The food is really good, I would say very good quality. Even the name doesn’t sell as a Thai food restaurant it has been a good decision coming in by first time and won’t be the last. The service is fast and friendly. I recommend to try the Mango & Avocado Shrimp Salad

It was great!! A small, laid back corner spot. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. Unique selection of fresh food. Friendly service and fair prices.

Had larb and khao soi gai and loved both! These are two super delicious, super authentic dishes that a lot of Thai places don’t bother with. I love that SB has them, and they were both punchy, balanced, and oh so savory. I also liked the atmosphere and service!

On an Ocean of Thai restaurants, this restaurant follows a classic formula that creates a successful business: family owned and operated along with quality ingredients that are cooked on the spot instead of pre-cooked food. The ambience was authentic and comfortable. A plus was the tea and beverage selection

The food is really good and they have a vegan/vegetarian menu. That being said, I wish they would pay more attention to a request for no egg in the food. I just experienced a second time requesting no egg in my pad thai order, and it came with egg. I cannot eat eggs so the food has to unfortunately go to waste.

**Takeout review** 4.5 stars. I got beef panang curry, hub’s got pad kee may (drunken noodles). Apps were grilled pork butt and frog legs. Splurged on the herb drinks – ginger lemonade and lemongrass (they didn’t have the lotus root). The curry was sooooo delicious and just so yummy! The beef was a bit too dry. Pork butt was exactly what you get at the Vietnamese restaurants (lemongrass) – mouth watering but so not worth the price! It was barely any meat in such a big container!

Great prices, great food. This is an especially perfect location if you’re visiting the groundlings. I would recommend it as a great Thai stop.
