I honestly don’t get the 3 stars overall, we go time and time again, the food is incredible. I could try to maybe find another thai restaurant around, but feel this one is perfect.

We order from here quite often and everything is great… except for the Pad Thai. It is lacking in flavor and super bland. Kick it up a notch and you will have a home run! Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, Spicy Basil Noodles, Ton Yum Gai and egg rolls are the best in town.

We love their food here. Our friends introduced us and now I even order their food through my Door Dash app for delivery. It’s a small family owned place that’s fun to know about. Servers aren’t full of smiles but still good service and worth it.

Overall this place was pretty good. I ordered the chicken pad thai which is my go to! The only complaint is they didn’t ask how spicy I wanted my dish which in my opinion caused it to lack some flavor!

Listen service is cultural… so quit crying about curt service here. Taste the food and give it a few tries… you will see it’s worth the awkwardness you may feel… wonderful phở and the appetizer menu is delicious. Grow a pair and enjoy a beer around 5 on a day off with friends with some amazing food…

I love this place and order from here quite frequently! I am obsessed with their noodle soup with chicken and get it at least once a week! I have also ordered the cream cheese wontons, chicken fried rice, and egg rolls and have enjoyed it all. They deliver which is good for when I’m feeling lazy, and they are quick to make my food when I pick up. I will keep going back!

For a quick 30 mins lunch, I love the food here! Even though flavors are more catered to the American pallet, I really enjoyed the dishes I’ve tried so far. LOVE how they have $ 6 lunch specials! Tried their panaang curry with tofu during lent and thought it was so delicious. The curry tasted like how panaang curry should taste, coconut creamy & slightly sweet. Tried their spicy Thai beef salad(they didn’t offer any sort of papaya salad) and loved the sauce that the meat was cooked in! This sauced acted as a «dressing» for the salad. I asked for medium and it was spicy but in a good way. Beef was chewy and tasted of lower grade but I didn’t mind. Their spicy basil noodles were delicious but pretty greasy. It was like an extra greasy version of pad see yew. We called in at 11am and picked up at 11:30. Can’t wait to try their other foods!

I ordered the pad tai and dumplings, food was good and good portions. Just not as much flavor as I was expecting. Pad tai had too man sprouts and not enough noodles. I would eat there again.

I used to come here all the time when I younger and I wish I could say the quality of the food has gotten better and tastier but it hasn’t. I tried the pad Thai after years of not coming here and tasted bland and the portions were smaller. The only thing that is still the same about this place is the cream cheese wontons. I recommend trying it at least once!

I typically come here for the lunch specials and it is always good. Tonight I had my first full size dinner, Pad See Ew with tofu and Tom Kha Gai. It was perfectly tasty and the service here is always nice. The food quality and my Thai ice tea brought me back to being in Thailand:)

Honestly some of the best service I’ve ever received at a restaurant! Our waiter was on his game, and the food was delicious. The drinks were fantastic as well. Great micro brewery selection and special mixed drinks. Way legit.

I needed a thai food fix and these guys were one of the local thai places that I have not tried. I ordered the chicken pad thai with extra egg(which I always do) priced at $ 10.00 to go. It was nothing to write home about. The dish lacked flavor and complexity(yes, pad thai can be complex believe it or not). It was pretty bland. The chicken however, compared to other bad thai places in which I have eaten, was fairly fresh. The noodles were average. And, there wasn’t much extra egg(which I probably paid extra for). And, again, the dish overall was fairly bland. Do you know how when you order from thai places, they ask you how spicy you would like your thai dish and they say from 1 to 10, 10 being most spicy? Well, here it was about a 1.

I’ve been here probably over 30 times in the last year. It’s great for lunch during work and also for a small group of friends on any night of the week. In response to those saying the service is lacking or that the employees are rude: be a little more tolerant. I have never witnessed or experienced anything at this restaurant that would impede my enjoyment of my meal. The staff are terse and direct but they are prompt and efficient – rude is not an appropriate description in my opinion. If good food is what you’re looking for then this is the place! If you want your waiter to tell you a story about his childhood then maybe find somewhere else. Keep in mind the prices are rock bottom here – the notion that you’re paying for good service doesn’t really apply. Here’s what I’ve had and enjoyed: Tom Yum Gai(with and without noodles) Tom Kha Gai Panang Curry Spicy Basil Leaves/Noodles Larb chicken Salad(only dish that i didn’t initially love but had a better experience the second time) Spring Rolls Cream Cheese Wontons Pad Thai

My wife decided to come here and try this place out. The service was fast and friendly and our food came out fast. We ordered the pad thai and I ordered the chicken panang. My chicken panang was delicious the curry with the coconut milk was great. The best part was every piece of chicken was a clean piece not one with cartilage or fat stuck to it. One of my pet peeves is horrible cuts of meat in a dish. If I bite into a cartilage or some chewy fat its over. Their pad thai was great. We also tried their deep fried tofu with sweet chili sauce… that was ok the tofu wasnt great but their sauce with all the herbs was good. I would love to come back here to try their other items, maybe that crying tiger.

I absolutely love their curry! I’m currently on a vegetarian diet so they have loads of veggie options! Their meat dishes were all delicious and I have had many before! Free delivery within 3 miles of location and minimum order of $ 18. It’s not hard to get past that amount bc everything is decently priced and everything all sounds so good you would want to order one of everything! Haha People on Unilocal say they’re rude… But I disagree. They may have an accent which is hard to understand but be patient with them. They’ll get your order right! I’ve never had any mistakes. They want your business as much as any, and they are genuinely nice once you get past how busy they ALWAYSARE.

Lunch specials are a great value. I come often to get the yellow curry lunch special. For $ 6, I haven’t found a better deal! The curry is delicious and not too spicy, and comes with a side of rice. When looking at the containers initially, they appear to be small, but i’ve found that I have never been able to finish the full serving. The regular sized entrees are $ 8, but I am not too sure how big they are in comparison to the lunch special. During lunch hours, a call in order is done within 10 minutes. I’ve never dined in the restaurant, but it never seems to have a wait around the lunch hours. The only downside in the parking lot– it is small with pretty narrow spaces. However, there are a few 20 min only spots that tend to always be open.

This is one of those places that may not look that good from the outside but is actually great food. Ordered cream cheese wonton as suggested by another Unilocal user and wasn’t disappointed. Pad thai wasn’t the best I had but still very good. The service was timely but I agree with a few of the other reviews she could have been more personable.
