"Definitely suggest making a reservation if you are going during peak hours. They were busy when we arrived, but when they were able to seat us, they asked if we had a reservation and communicated that there may be a little wait for food since we didn't make a reservation. They still brought drinks quickly, they were very attentive, and the appetizers came out quickly. The curry puffs and dumplings were absolutely amazing. Most of us ordered the fried rice - the flavor of the beef was spectacular. I also like that the fresh vegetables were cut smaller than some places with the same dish- made them easier to eat. Atmosphere was cozy but enjoyable. Staff was attentive throughout the meal. Would definitely try other menu items here. I appreciate that they communicated and despite being very busy they were professional and courteous."

"One of the best Thai restaurant in the area. There are 2 others that frequent but this one takes the cake. The menu options are outstanding, definitely more seafood items to choose from. The Crispy Salmon and the Lemongrass Seafood are amazing and my favorites. The drunken noodles are also a favorite. The owners are wonderful and always friendly. The prices are also reasonable. This has to be one of my best lunch spots and always consistent in every visit."

"Have been here many times. The food is always fresh, authentic and delicious. Huge shrimp in their dishes as opposed to other places that give you a few measly tiny shrimp. The Thai iced tea is awesome as well. The service is friendly and attentive. There’s a nice romantic atmosphere in the upper dining area."

"We got the pad thai and it was the best I've ever had. Plus our server (owner?) was super sweet and friendly. We were just passing through, but if we lived in the area we definitely would come back."

"Simply best! Found this place while searching for something quick to eat and the food turned out to be marvelous. The first impression was made by the Thai ice tea which was perfectly made as it should be (Tea at the bottom & milk at the top). We ordered Jumbo shrimps for starters and I recommend this as a must try. For the main course, it was a drunken noodle. All the dishes were great and price was reasonable. If I ever visit the area back, this will be in my list!"
