Rice sits in the center, and a small portion of 2-3 stir-fries, soups, curries or fried items are served alongside. Hed presents this unique culture with our tri-colors rice from Thailand, an appetizer, a stir-fry, a curry, a fried item, a variety of sauces and seasonal ingredients

Yum! We had a late lunch and loved every bit of it. If you don’t prefer spicy food, be sure to ask for no spice. Though, if you go to Thai food you should expect spice! We loved the tasting format, the service and engaging conversation with the waitperson.

The food was great, but unfortunately they kicked us out super early, when we'd barely finished our meal, even though we hadn't even started that late.
