Reviews

Nice Thai restaurant with a unique twist on classic favorites! I ordered a papaya salad and was surprised to see that it came with fresh jerky on top.
It was really good! I also was impressed by how tender the salmon was, since I believe many places overcook salmon.
And the potstickers were really good and I loved the curry that they were served in.
My only regrets are that the food wasn't as spicy as I was hoping it would be, and even though the place was fairly empty it took a while for the server to come to our table.


Stopped in for dinner after a recommendation from friends.
Amazing service and delicious food.
The staff made us feel like family.
Green curry was so yummy.
Gluten free Coconut cake was amazing!! Hard to find gluten free restaurants with as many options available as here.
And the cake topped it off.
Tried fried tofu for the first time and that was also delicious.
Highly recommend for a delicious, casual meal.


The restaurant is in a nice and convenient area close to some other shopping.
Looks nice and inviting.
The service was great.
The food...
was not as good as I expected.
The pad thai and drunken noodles were kinda tasteless.
I think the vegetables that I ordered had more flavor than them. I'm a fan of Thai food and this place was not the best.
