Reviews

Tight quarters.
Yet walk in we did.
My friend Steve and I.
As with any good Thai place, lots of Thai-type photos.
We ordered Green Curry with Chicken, Gang Keiwong Ghai.
Good spice.
Good taste.
Pad Kee Mao.
Very good.
Subtle with a deft touch.
Very good.
Sounds and scents of a restaurant hard at it cooking.
Good on them.


A friend recommended this place to me.
The staff was friendly and the portion is big, however, the food is average.
Everything kinda tasted the same.
I don't have high expectation coming here, since we were not in San Francisco.
However, if you're college student, it will fill your stomach!!


Ordered through doordash, food arrived 40min late and cold which is not the restaurants fault.
Pretty underwhelmed by the two dishes ordered.
Chicken pad thai had hardly any chicken and tasted like old fry oil.
Pad see ew was awful and for a vegetable dish was nothing but noodles with a few thin carrot slices, couple strips of cabbage and four tiny pieces of broccoli.
You get more veggies in a 2 dollar frozen bag.
Not sure what the hype is about? Would not recommend.
