New owner. Same excellent food and service at the location. Friendly family oriented atmosphere. Owner is a season chef. We had yellow curry, tom yum soup, garlic ck, shrimp in blanket, salad and tom kha. All tasted delicious. Priced accordingly. 12/30/25. Still great.

Food was delicious and many choices. Polite staff and nice appearance. Ordered 3 appetizer and they came at different times. Also main dishes did not come together so had a friend without food for a while after we got ours.

The food overall was not very authentic and overly priced.

Just an OK experience. They don't serve alcohol. The crab rangoons were ok, very cream cheesey. The pad thai was lacking tamarind or any kind of tartness/acidity, which made it unenjoyable, but otherwise decent. I ordered extra spicy but didnt notice all that much heat. It was hardly busy at all there, maybe 3 tables total. Our waitress didnt check on my table in a while, so by the time I coukd ask for chili oil I had like 4-5 bites left.

The ingredients weren’t too fresh. Had sourness to it. If they are able to fix that, should be a nice Thai spot. Som tum papaya salad - too much peanuts not enough green papaya , a bit more lime maybe better Summer roll - fresh Spring roll - sour tofu Red snapper - sauce was tasty fish was old but given it is frozen hard to predict the quality Green curry with beef - veggies all had a bit of sour to it not very fresh curry flavor was good Pad Thai - quite sweet

Aggressively underwhelming to say the least. I kept searching for literally anything distinctly Thai but the food seemed wholeheartedly committed to being generic takeout instead.

I can confidently say. This is the worst Chinese food I’ve ever ate. It’s all bland. No ounce of flavoring in the all the entrees. The price is insane for such small portions. Not to mention the chicken I got for the sweet and sour CHICKEN. You gave me LITERALLY 11 small nuggets of chicken. I mean cmon. The beef and broccoli is watery as you can see. And the fried rice has no flavor except for the intense fishiness from the shrimp. Disappointing to say the least.

Some of the best Thai we’ve had. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. Lunch isn’t cheap, but large portions!

First time here and never had curry fried rice. It was really good. The chicken and rice soup was really yummy,and the yellow curry was delicious! Ended with the mango sticky rice which was like the cherry on top. Can’t wait to come back and try something else!
