Restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. It took a while for us to get our food. We had green curry and Pad ped pla... dook (cat fish). The green curry was delicious but the other one was too greasy and wasn?t that good. Will not recommend. $50for two meals was quite a lot. Read more
Food was good ????. But not sure about the quantity ?. May be we can have some more quantity of the delicious food ????
I was actually not putting to much expectation on this restaurant before I went. Mostly because the pictures on Google reviews... for this restaurant were all in poor quality, but it was actually way better than I thought. Will come here to try out moredishes next time! Highly recommend the shrimp wrap(?), I forgot what it was written on the menu. It was super delicious!! Read more
We just happened to go in the day they reopened, so I think there's some growing pains getting back on their feet. That said,... the food was delicious. We got the Pad See Aew with beef, which came out perfect, and the Preaw Wan with pork and jasmine rice.While a bit heavy on the tomatoes, it was a delicious meal as well. Finally, we got some Kanom Jeeb (steamed dumplings) whichwere also delicious. They didn't have dessert when we went, but that should be available soon. Overall very impressed with thislittle place and would be happy to go back. Read more
The red curry and pineapple fried rice was alright. Sadly, we ended up finding plastic in our crab rolls which is in the second... photo. We weren?t happy about my friend almost choking Read more
Food was great. But taking your better half to Thai cuisine should?ve had a better more elegant experience. Went 3/23/2022 and... their COVID protocol was beyond ridiculous!!!! Had to eat out of styrofoam and with plastic utensils. They took our charge cardwith a blue rag. They don?t take Discover. If I knew that?s how they ran their business, I would?ve never went. They also ownBasil Thai on the Purdue campus. I will never go back. Read more
Summary: Don't waste your time or money, there are better choices of restaurant in the area. We had 3 in our party, the first... person's plate came out in around 10 minutes. We then waited about 20 minutes for the second person's plate to come out. Myplate came out 5 minutes after that. The food was alright, the Red Curry had no spicyness to it. All three of our plates hadchicken in them, the chicken had to be the driest I've ever had in a restaurant. I'm not trying to be rude in this review, justas straight forward and factual as I can be. My soda came in a can so no refills. I was surprised by the prices. There was noambience. Read more
