I get something new every time and I always love it even more than the last thing I tried! The tilapia was great, Pad Thai is an oldie but a goodie, and any of the rice or noodle bowls are great.

Sarah Kim

Loved the vibe and decor. Not my favorite place to grab Thai food in America but it was the best in this neighborhood .

Shawn B

Pad Thai was great, and a huge portion.Chicken skewers and other appetizers were solid too. Love the sauce that comes with the skewers .
