Esaan Sausage was absolutely delicious and adequately adorable. They were juicy and fatty without being greasy or chewy. Tons of flavor!
Spring Rolls were crispy and light. I was a little bit suspicious of the clear yellow dipping sauce but it is absolutly amazing. Sweet and tangy, perfect for these spring rolls
I will be ordering again!

Had high hopes for this place bc the IG ads were cool and convincing. The flavor of the kapow and tom yum were pretty good. The eggplant topping for the Kapow Buddy - Bowls tastes undercooked and terrible so don't recommend. My issue mostly is w the Kor Moo yang which was entirely all fat and for $12! The Gai Todd is 4 tiny flats for $9. Same with Tofu Tod. Overpriced. The som tum and tomyum flavor were ok. Lots of other Thai places to choose from. Thai street food is cheap this is not. I understand it's not the same cost, but not worth it to me. If you've had real Thai street food, you'll know.

The best veggie spring rolls I have had. The vegetable bowl with tofu was great. I loved the comb especially the perfe cooked strong beans. Delicious!!!!

The purple rice in the Kapow Buddy - Kapow Buddy - Bowls was kind of bland and lacked moisture. It was also cold. I also would have appreciated knowing that the eggplan side vegetable would be cold and not warm because th texture was strange that way. Gai Todd and Por Pia Tod were lukewarm and lacked flavor. Por Pia Tod was also very oily. Even the Butterfly Pea Tea Butterfly Pea Tea Lemonade was lackluster. I don't think I'll order this again.
