Im usually a level 5 spice at the Thai restaurant kinda gal but the reviews made me think it would be too much, wrong ! I got the pad thai level 4 spice and it was SO tasty, will definitely be ordering a 5 next time!! The fried tofu is a MUST it is so yummy and theres tons of it in the order. I also added shrimp and the portions were great flavors are fantastic! Will definitely be ordering again!!!

Thai tea was very watery. I have always had it with milk or some kind of cream. They made it with water. Not enough crab meat for extra $8 per entree.

I got spice level 1 with chicken, but I didn't taste any spice. 75% savory 25% sweet and well-balanced. Chicken was sliced thinly, but there's enough spread evenly throughout the dish. Also, there's some crushed peanuts that come on the dish that pairs very well with the noodles and merges the flavors together.

Freshly prepared, large portion size, plenty of meat.
The rice is tender, not wet, but tasty without any addition sauces. My fried spring rolls were flaky and on the inside, the veggies were cooked perfectly to provide the perfect bite.
My ONLY complaints that I received chicken instead of pork, and there was too much spice to my liking. If you don't like a lot of heat to your food, make sure you opt for the lowest spice level offered.
I definitely recommend, and I plan on trying additional items from their menu.

the food wasn't bad, but there is very little rice included with the TC-7 Masaman Curry, in addition it contains pineapple which is not mentioned in the description and makes it rather sweet. the THAI ICED TEA was extremely sweet, to where i couldnt even drink it (significantly sweeter than a flavored iced latte from SB for example). will try a different thai place next time
