This restaurant offers a special lunch on Sundays at a reasonable price. I love the fried rice--it's absolutely delicious and full of flavor!
My husband and I ate here as he's been to Thailand and wanted me to experience Thai food. For our appetizer, we ordered the steamed dumplings, which were very delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the chicken fried rice and he ordered the seafood pad Thai. When ordering dishes like these here, you have to select the level of spice you want: mild, medium, or hot. I chose mild for mine and he chose medium for his. Unfortunately, I think they got our spice choices mixed up because my entree was so spicy, I could only eat a bite so he gave me his entree, which was barely spicy, in exchange for mine. The pad Thai was very good! It had scallops, squid, and mussels and all were cooked to perfection. He said he liked my fried rice. Our waitress was very pleasant! She was always smiling and checking on us. Despite the spice mix up, we will be back!
My husband and I came at 8pm on a Tuesday. The restaurant doesn't have a great overall feel. However, the food is excellent. We were greeted promptly upon arriving. However, they seemed to be confused where to seat us despite being mostly empty. The flooring was pretty sparse, which is normally fine but looked very uneven and I saw spots that looked suspiciously like mold (I didn't want to get close enough to confirm). I got the Siam Chicken and he got the Gapow. Both were very, very good. The Siam Chicken is basically chicken breast with sautéed shiitake mushrooms in a ginger and garlic sauce. The ginger was so good: it wasn't just shaved ginger. It was 2" long strings of fresh ginger that were soft and delicious. You don't get a ton of food for the money. However, the quality more than makes up for it.
Amazing food. Love the pad Thai with chicken. They have a special pad Thai with egg noodles which is also great. One of my go to places for takeout when I'm in the area
I really enjoyed my basil fried rice! This dish really shines at this place. I tried my friend's pad thai, and I didn't like it as much. The fried rice was definitely better. The tofu on both of ours was a really good texture and flavor, it's hard to get it just right, and they totally did! The dishes that we got as mild were still very spicy. I would almost just get it with no spice next time. I would not order pad thai from here, but I think any of their fried rices would be good to try again! The thai iced tea was very sweet, as expected. A generous portion as well! Very nice service and a fine atmosphere.
The place was clean, the service was courteous. I usually go with Pad Thai when it comes with Thai restaurant, because it's so common. This time I decided to try Panang beef curry with medium spicy level, which claimed to be most popular curry, my son ordered Gapow. I think my choice was correct, the curry was creamy with delicious coconut milk and peanut panang sauce, it's perfect companion for the rice. Gapow had nice flavor of basil, but I like Panang curry better. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby.
Good and various levels of spicy according to what you want. Lots of choices of good food. Staff are very nice and attentive. Great place to eat for families and friends. Nice atmosphere and plenty of seating and space.
