Came in for some of the appetizers (chicken satay, wings and moo ping) they were great. The Thai iced tea was perfect. The service, vibe of the place and overall experience was awesome and I can’t wait to go back to try more items.

This is the first time in 10+ years I’ve eaten dumplings because they were gluten free! The okra was simple but excellent and even the soft shell crab was GF! Thai tea was fresh and excellent, too.
