• 9/11/25The Taste of the fresh mangoes and sweetness goes well! The Thai Crispy so tender and rice is so fresh! The Thai iced tea is not too sweet but just right as a fellow person from Thailand I would order here again and definitely coming back! The portion for the price is just right not being cheap!

• 3/15/26A little bit pricey for what you get. Interestingly I had two identical orders, but they different significantly in both presenatation and taste. ( sorry I forgot to snao a photo) . Upon opening the contents of one was immaculately presented while the other was all jumbled and topsy- turvey. Both eggs were fried hard though, and the color was excellent.
Strangely for two orders apparently prepared at the same time, one was markedly more spicy than the other.
What I appreciated most of this vendor though was the fact that the entrees were presented not in plastic cartons but in moisture resistant paper. With growing concerns about microplastics it was nice to find that concern here.
All in all a comfortable meal for a chilly night Portions more than adequate, delivered warm and quickly.

• 11/5/25The brown sauce is too salty and the red sauce is too sweet. Both the fried chicken and boiled chicken are too dry and not fresh. The rice is nice though. Good portion. Overall 6/10

• 6/26/26The rice was mushy and overcooked and so was the egg. Not as enjoyable as I remember.
