I had fried chicken with cashew nut and duck spicy soup (kaeng phed ped yang) It’s original thai flavour!!!! Yummy!!! The crews were so nice.
I didnt care for ambiance, the food was that good. Almost all places have a hint of fish or oyster sauce in their vegetarian dishes but not this place. Loved the dishes we ordered. Place has limited seating, and is suitable for no more than 4.
Easily, EASILY some of the best food I have ever had. And I’m not talking about Thai cuisine, literally any food in general. We had the Tom Yum noodle soup and Goy See Mee. UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. I wish I knew how to describe it any better. If you have to wait to get a table, PLEASE WAIT. It’s worth it and more.
Some meals just stay with you—and this one was exactly that. I couldn’t get enough of the papaya salad—it was absolutely finger-licking good! The perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and refreshing flavors made every bite irresistible. And the pad thai? Truly hit the spot. Comforting, flavorful, and cooked just right, it was everything you’d hope for in a classic dish. From the first bite to the last, this meal was pure joy. Definitely one of those places you keep thinking about long after you’ve left!
Walking in, I had high expectations. The restaurant is fairly small, and the kitchen is right there in the dining area, so you can watch the cook at work which is always a good sign. My colleagues ordered the green curry and duck fried rice, while I went with the tom yum soup and pad kra pow. Overall, the food was very good. The foundation was solid across the board, but the flavors could have been slightly more pronounced. The pad kra pow, in particular, would have benefited from an extra dash of fish sauce and a bit more fresh basil to really make it pop. It was good, just missing that final push to elevate it to outstanding. My coworkers felt similarly: good food, but not quite at the level that makes you overly excited. It just needed that last bit of intensity to reach a true five-star experience. Overall, a great spot that I would still recommend.
