    After having a bad experience at another restaurant, my mom and I tried this place based on a recommendation. All though it was crowded (Friday night) we were almost immediately seated in the back with a candle for ambiance. As it was our first time to the restaurant, the server kindly guided us to the most popular dishes and informed us MULTIPLE times to start with Thai Mild (or no spice!) as it was authentic Thai food and the heat was no joke. So we heeded the warning and ordered Tom Yum Soup Shrimp for an appetizer, which came in a cute burner holder, Pad See Ew with Pork, and Crispy Pork Belly which was Devine and the sticky rice was a nice touch! I am pregnant so I ordered a Moscow mule mock-tail, which was awesome! The great thing about this place is that the dishes are meant to be shared and the portions are healthy! My mom and I only needed two dishes! Thank you again for the great service and making us feel welcome! We will definitely be back!

    When making a reservation be sure to request not to be seated by the front door. The draft was very cold every time

    Buen lugar, tal vez el curry rojo pica demasiado, lo que lo hace prácticamente incomible. De ahí en fuera, el lugar muy bonito, el ambiente a gusto y el servicio excelente. Está en una zona tradicional que se está gentrificando, dentro de una plaza urbana, que le da un toque especial.

    Fantastic service. Exceptional staff, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Overall the food was just ok. The spice was a bit too much for me, having been to Thailand it just wasn’t it. Many people enjoy it however I don’t think I’d return
