It had been a while since we were at this restaurant, and several changes have been made since then. It was a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the owner and the server were both friendly and fun. It isn't big and fancy, but who cares if the food is great?? We are already planning our next visit.
Solid place for Thai food. The portion sizes were quite good for the price I paid. I got the Pineapple Fried Rice and it had the right balance of heat from dried chilies and spice from the use of curry powder. The addition of cashew nuts helped to provide an extra level of crunch while the pineapple chunks provide a layer of sweetness. While service can be kinda slow, it was not bad. The ambiance was ok, although a remodel of the location would be nice and would benefit the restaurant. But overall, no complaints. Wouldn't mind coming back again :)
First time visitor with a party of nine. The plaza lacks curb appeal. Inside is cozy and nicely decorated. Ladies bathroom was clean. I dined on summer rolls and drunken noodles with shrimp. Food was excellent! Could have had a few more veggies in the noodles, but I got it in with my rolls. Forgot to take pix Our food was fresh, well seasoned and had good presentation. I didn't get any spice, but others did. Apparently, mild is plenty My entree was $15 for shrimp. Portion was plentiful. Stacey was our server. They took good care of us. In fact, Stacey served all of the tables (a smallish dining room). We never had to call for them or want for anything. I will definitely return and have already recommended them to others who live/work nearby.
I would've given this place 5 stars years ago but after the pandemic the quality of this place isn't what it use to be. The the pad thai used to be really savory when I ordered spice level "Hot," but I recently ordered it for lunch and it was just soaked in hot spice with no true pad thai flavor (don't get me wrong I love spicy so I ate it, just wish it tasted like it use to, instead of just pepper). I frequent at naga tea next door so I'll probably try this again, just hope they had an off day because the restaurant is actually very clean and the gentleman that works there is always very kind.
Without a doubt, my favorite Thai restaurant in all of the area! I've been coming here for more than 12 years!
