Additional Information
Family favorite Thai Restaurant. The service is always top notch. We celebrated a birthday and everything was superb. Our party... of 15 was quickly accommodated by friendly staff. Had the shrimp Tom Kha Gai soup that was exquisite with plenty of shrimp andmushrooms. The fall-of-the-bone spare ribs were tender and full of savory flavor. They were a hit. The pineapple fried rice wasalso a hit. Everything on the menu is highly recommended. Read more
Food is awesome every time but the waitress is terrible. She seems irritated and has no clue what she is doing. She has been... there for almost a year now and service is just not acceptable. Me and my guest got part of the food but no drinks or utensilsuntil much later. All we could do is look at the food for 5 minutes. It was really awkward service like she never had arestaurant job before. At the end she came out with the dessert and put it on top of our dirty dinner plates instead of clearingthe table. I asked her to clear the table but she mumbled something and left the restaurant. I was looking for some one whocould clear the table but there was no one in the restaurant. Me and my guest had to clear the table ourselves so we could eatthe dessert on the table. We had to go into the kitchen and give the dishes to the people working there. The waiter lookedembarrassed and the staff looked like it has happened before. Not sure what to do here. I love the food but I do not want to goback to get the same terrible service. The restaurant was slow that day so the bad service was not due to her being too busy. Ontop of that the waitress was having an attitude. She needs a lot of training or she needs to go. She completely is ruining therestaurant´s reputation. I hope that the owner will see this so there can be a change. I am considering going back to therestaurant explaining to the owner or the chef what is going on. The food is so good so I hate for them to go out of businessdue to that waitress. Read more
HORRIBLE FOOD & HORRIBLE SERVICE. I came in alone for a late lunch. Ordered the Spicy Mint. According to the menu it should... include mushrooms, bell pepper and onions. She brings out a near empty plate full of carrots and zucchini. I grabbed her a menuand asked if this is what I ordered coz it was completely different than what the menu states. She didn’t bother to apologize,just said it’s the same then took my plate and brought it back to me with raw mushrooms and bell peppers added. Despite that,the flavor was bland. I’ll never come back to this disgusting place and I recommend you stay away as well. Your money isbetter spent elsewhere. Read more

I absolutely loved the food and the atmosphere! The waitress was very sweet and patient about/helpful with all my questions... and, the service was super quick! The items are served Family Style (large enough portions to share and try multipledishes!). They have some of the best duck I've had in a long time and there are so, so many other options to choose from. Itried the Panang Curry with Chicken, the Crispy Duck with Crispy Noodles and veggies and their Sampler. All of it was verydelicious. You can choose the level of heat you want as well which is a big bonus! Don't pass up the Thai Milk Tea either -simply scrumptious and definitely hit the spot! Only downside I want to point out (and it's not really a reflection on them) isthe parking can be kind of crazy. The restaurant is in a very busy shopping center. Well, well worth it though! Read more
