The Pad Thai was absolutely delicious although it was light on the chicken. It also had tofu in it which I don't personally love, but I know others do. The portion size was great for a meal for one. The Red curry sauce is also one of my favorites from Baan Yaai.

pad see ew was lacking in flavor and had place of bare noodles with no sauce. like it wasn't tossed or cooked well. i took it home and added more oyster sauce, egg, and garlic crisp. it's a good base to add more too. roti was good. sauce it came with was a bit bland

I came here for lunch. I also came here for dinner the same day. The service was awful both times . The man would not look at me. He was not particularly busy either. Just dismissive.
