Did lunch. Wife liked the chicken skewers with peanut sauce appetizer. She ordered drunken noodles with shrimp and enjoyed that. She was unsure about the orange Thai tea; was it colored naturally or a dye? Server didn’t know. I had a curry; too much sugar for me. I ordered a mai tai but she never brought it! I’d go back; would order something different. The prices are reasonable.

The fresh spring rolls with shrimp from here are great!!! The cilantro is a wonderful flavor addition. A couple of weeks ago, I ate chicken fresh spring rolls with chicken from a *different* Thai place and they were nothing compared to these (only had lettuce, chicken and carrots). The only thing I would add to the spring rolls with shrimp is more shrimp!!! The curry puffs are good but fried a little too long for my liking. My husband's spicy chicken fried rice with shrimp was great but again, need more shrimp (there were only 3, so you may want to ask for extra if you order this add-on). His food container was filled to the top like it should be (and is what we're used to receiving), but mine wasn't, so I was a little disappointed about that. Last but not least, my garlic chicken was good, but didn't have as much garlic flavor as what I'm used to from similar restaurants. The vegetables were definitely fresh tasting and not overcooked, so I was pleased. The restaurant is in a small shopping strip; not a lot of parking out front but perhaps there's more parking in the back. Also, they have a nice patio area for those who want to eat outside.

This place is a neighborhood gem! The food is absolutely incredible—consistently fresh, perfectly prepared and packed with bold, unforgettable flavors. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never misses. The staff is always warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. While the interior is clean and cozy, I almost always choose outdoor seating. It can get a bit lively on the weekends, but it still manages to feel intimate—perfect for date nights or a casual dinner with your partner. The menu is stacked with standout dishes: the crispy fish with chili sauce is a knockout, the Thai Noy seafood mix is a flavor bomb and the curries and pad lad na talay are must-tries. Honestly, you can’t go wrong here. It’s no wonder this place has such a loyal following.

Hands down, the best Thai food in the whole area! The staff and atmosphere are excellent as well. Parking can be a challenge at times when dining in.

I’ve eaten at some wonderful Thai restaurants, this Not is not one of them. Nice place, sticky table top though. Good service too. Fairly good menu. Nothing really click d so I ordered Pad Thai. The worst ever. Even the satay one meal companion ordered was barely edible. If I could rate 2.5 I would.

Hometown hole in the wall. Great people, great food. Not a single noodle unsauced in the pad see-ew, the crispiest tilapia and a sauce you'll want to douse everything in.

Their green curry is really yummy! I didn’t love anything else though. Pad See Ew wasn’t that great, and the eggplant tempura had zero flavor. That being said the service was good and so was the curry
