The Panang Curry was absolutely amazing, rich and flavorful. This is how Thai Iced Tea is supposed to be.I was able to have enough to drink throughout my meal. I'm so happy with this meal. Comfort food.

What a hidden Gem! Price was great! The taste was incredible! The portion size was great! It tasted so fresh the Fresh Shrimp Rolls (2) and the Pad Thai were so good. I will definitely be ordering again!

The rice was a little gummy. The meat, a little chewy. The portion overall was ok. I expected some great flavors being a Thai restaurant but it was pretty regular. I did like the crunchy veggies and they were fresh. I wouldn't order again for $13 though!

This restaurant used to have good chicken wings. The ones they delivered were small and over fried. Food is expensive and if they expect us to pay the price. I expect quality chicken wings. The soup was skimpy on the meat as well. Used to be a go to restaurant. Will have to find another Thai place if they don't do something about their serving size and quality

I used to live in the complex where this restaurant is located and would order all the time (and preach the good word of their deliciousness). Not sure if the management has changed or if it's something else, but my last few orders have been really MEH, even taking into account the below-the-median price point. This time I got pad kee mao with duck---it tasted more like pad see ew and had very little protein, although the vegetables were nicely crunchy and not overcooked despite the actual delivery time being 2-3 times the estimate. Wish I could remove this restaurant from my suggestions.
