What our guests are saying
Lunch on 11/29 was fantastic! Many gluten free options. Authentic Thai! Tom Kha soup was so tasty. Our service was stellar! Thanks, we'll be back!
Oh S.
We have to come here at least once every time we're in town. If you're looking for authentic Thai, the khao soi is probably the best Thai dish I've ever had anywhere. But they also have a great kids' menu with some pretty terrific waffle fries! The service is wonderful, and they're amazing at accommodating large groups.

This place is a hidden gem! The food is spot on delicious, and when I asked for Thai spicy, it's actually Thai spicy. Server was outstanding and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I felt like we were eating dinner at a friend's house. Definitely recommend.
Michael S.
Best Thai food I ever ate. Top notch ingredients made to perfection at a reasonable price. Thai food wasn't very high on my favorite Asian style food list until now. I will be back.
