• 3/27/26my Drunken Noodles (Shrimp) had TWO! tiny shrimp, really? The whole top was super spicy and the whole bottom was bland. I used to think this place was so good before, last time i ordered soup and it was flavorless too, so sad. Oh and the Golden Pouches were so salty i was barely able to eat one.

• 6/9/26Chicken Sate A La Carte with peanut sauce is good. I added half to the curry because there was so little chicken in it. Thai Ice Tea was not too sweet. Shrimp Salad Rolls (Box of 3) looks like the shrimp escaped the wrap a bit so it may be hard to eat tomorrow.Chicken Masala Curry was temperature hot and delicious save the tomatoes. They should skip the tomatoes and add more chicken and cauliflower instead. It would be more fun with some more heat as well. Sweet Sticky Rice w/ Mango had loads of sweet sauce, mangoes, and rice, but I didn't find any of the mung beans on top.
I didn't see a place to request utensils or napkins. It would be great if they gave napkins. everything was packaged well.

• 9/20/25if I could, I would eat here every day. Soo many delicious gluten free options.ober the years I think I have tried justout everything on the menu. A few of my favorites: fresh rolls (an of them) with the chutney, Brain Food, Healthful Cleansing Soup, WHOA! WHOA! SHRIMP , drunken nodles, and the chicken (especially with the sauce that has the cucumbers on it).

• 10/17/23The chicken-broth-based Healthful Cleansing Soup has a very clean taste, relying solely on its ingredients instead of borrowing from the strong herbs and spices typically found in Thai food. The Breast, Thigh, & Leg Combo is also lightly-seasoned to pair with your choice of sauce(s) and the refreshing Cambodian salad.
