I really like this place (I had it mixed up with the place upstairs Veg Cafe but they are both really good). I have been here several times over the past few years and I went back recently. They have a fairly diverse menu with vegan options. (Check out their menu). They have a “seasonal menu” that changes from time to time.

The food was delicious and the service was fast! We ordered a lot for only 3 people but it was enough to get us full! .

I love it so much here. The people here took such good care of me and I was really the only one here in the restaurant after one table left but it was good because I got to charge up my laptop and my phone it was two tables here next to outlets and the lady here so sweet.

This is literally my favorite Thai spot for probably 20 miles. I come here often, bring my dogs, friends, etc. and have never had bad service. I just looked up their page and was surprised to read some of these reviews… The taste is excellent, they accommodate allergies, they are very consistent, I’ve never had any problems with service.. and there’s almost never a wait. To me, this is a gem in Sacramento!

First time in this place. Did not know what to order. We started with a fired mushroom appetizer. Quite honestly, this is the reason for the 4 stars. This dish was bad. I could not find the mushroom. All we had was fried onion. The avocado curry and the Thai fried rice were really good and the portions were big. Because of this, I will go back and give this place another opportunity. Service was a bit slow but that was because it was only the waitress and the cook in the establishment. I guess sign of times. Another reason to go back and support.

The Thai food here is very healthy tasting and not too oily. It’s a great spot if you’re vegetarian and have dietary restrictions because the staff is attentive to it. Pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. The food however, does not taste super authentic. The green curry does not have much flavor, no basil flavor at all despite the restaurant being named after it. I did like the pad see ew. Protein is extra. Portions are average sized. I did like the presentation of the dishes.

Service can be hit or miss, even when the place isn’t very busy, but the staff are kind and the food is delicious, so it’s not a big deal. I will be back!
