Very good Thai food. I love chicken BBQ so much it's very good taste and come with Green sauce and the jasmine Rice.

Strange, hole-in-the wall place with a hard to place homey feel. Food was great and reasonably priced. Would definitely come back.And to second what someone else said... their Thai Tea is GREAT.

Food is great. The spot is in a cute comfy spot tucked away. The cucumber salad was SO good I can't explain it. First time trying Curry food and I'm glad it was here!

Thai iced coffee was amazing. I just got cucumber salad and sticky rice with a side of peanut sauce but I'm stuffed! So good!

You walk in, and it feels like you're in Thailand! Friendly people, good food, it's like a mini trip to Bangkok or Phuket. Enjoy!!

Nice people. Eccentric location. No trouble getting vegan food that I seemed both by taste and discussion truly vegan (no fish or oyster sauce). Food was pretty sweet as it often is Thai restaurants.

This place is so cool, very industrial. I just bought a groupon (I know so yesterday) for them. I've been driving past for years, trying to see if they were still open. So I'm thrill they are still in business. They really need to get a better sign. That said, the food is very good and not the usual fare. I really like the spring rolls with the green dip. And the atmosphere is cool also, reminds me of a cafeteria hidden away in a factory somewhere.

I have yet to eat at the actual restaurant, but I have ordered here from UberEats numerous times! They make finger-licking good food! Healthy and wholesome! *Currently ordering "Pad Kra Proa" (chicken) w/side of brown rice 😁

Between the restaurant or doordash, someone can't not be trusted. Item missing from a 33 dollar order. Not okay at all

Even though it is located in a questionable/intimidating place, don't knock it till you try it. The 'Thai tea' was delicious, there was hardly no wait for the food, delicious food ,warm atmosphere, kid friendly, and it has extremely gorgeous decorations and designs. In the future I plan on visiting here again.

The food is good and prices are very reasonable. It's a casual atmosphere, hole in the wall, local spot. Pictured is shrimp pad thai, beef fried rice and mango sticky rice. It's bit off the beaten path but GPS takes you right there. My friends and I usually order food for pick up or have it delivered on an app. The people are very nice!

There was a mold on a fish cake on one of my orders. Padkemao noodle were all broken, was not cooked properly. It seems like they are using bad quality ingredients. That's not right. I reported this to grubhub and the restaurant owner called me. Her apology wasn't professional, she called me that I'm the bad customer. I'm posting a photo of the mold on the fish cake.

Food is amazing, I'm not sure what this place does differently, but my order always tastes better when I get it here. Run by a family if I recall correctly. Parking outside does leave a little to be desired though.

The food was GREAT and people working there are very friendly. The location is a bit sketchy (I came there late in the evening and was surprised to find this restuarant in such a place where there is bunch of automotive shops and other businesses), but did not feel any danger, etc... The place it self is not an elegant or fancy place, but it has a small town mom and pop shop feeling and I personally tought it was very unique experience. I loved the food and my experience was good. I would have given 5 stars, but because of the location, I figured 4 stars might be more appropriate.

I really liked this place. The best Thai Food I have eaten since coming back from Thailand.I also liked the staff. Cute and friendly. The meal was served quickly despite the hectic pace of the restaurant. They seemed to have many delivery orders.The restaurant is in a rather strange old industrial building. Which could turn people off. But I would recommend giving it a try.

Nice staff, giant Thai tea's, average menu. Feels like they only make 5-10 meals a day so they always cook to order, which is nice. There's a cute little garden patio nearby. Although we usually grab to go.

Delicious food at very affordable prices and with a lot of variety. The space is very homey and unassuming, but the serving sizes are formidable and the staff extremely friendly. It's very easy to become a regular with their specials! And their drinks are fantastic.

The food is very delicious. First time I try Thai food and the first time I went to this place. The prices are great considering they give you a good portion, and the taste was incredible. Seems like a family owned business, so everything is authentic. They cook it when you order.

Hidden Gem!!! Excellent food I would have never thought to find here. Family operated. "Mom" is the cook and she knows her stuff!! Somewhat difficult to find, nested in the back of an alley, so take an extra minute to look for it. Do not expect a fancy place. This is no frills but VERY good food. I'd come back anytime

It's a very cozy place, a bit hidden. I ordered the Pad See Ew and personally, it was not made to my taste. However, the yellow curry was rlly good and so was the crab fried rice.

I ordered food from here and did not get what I ordered. I called and told them what happened and explained that I got the wrong food and they HUNG UP ON ME! I tried calling back, but they DISCONNECTED their phones! I kept trying for the next 15 minutes until they finally decided to turn their phone back on...I questioned why they hung up on me and THE MAN SAYS Ò€œoh my god oh my godÒ€ AND HANGS UP AGAIN! I decided to drive to the restaurant to confront them and when I got there they acted like none of this ever happened but still remade the dish. IÒ€ℒve never had such unprofessional service in my life I will never be coming back here.
