This was some of the best Thai food we’ve had recently. We wish it was in the city we live. We got Pad See-U and Panang Curry. Everything was very flavorful, the restaurant was nice and clean, and the service was great.

This Thai cuisine is too good for a college town. The soft shell crab panang was delicious 🦀 and they have Sapporo on draft. If I win the lotto, I’ll fly back once a month to dine here 😋

I like their food alot but this time we went so late like almost 8:55pm but still they received warmly. The waiter who served us was so patient with us. Good service, food. We liked their panang and masaman curries.

Their spicy beef noodle may legitimately be the best food I’ve ever tasted, I can’t get enough. The staff are nice and enjoyable, and everything is fairly reasonably priced, perfect for a college student looking for a more upscale dinner that is close to campus

This is the best hidden gem in T-town. Authentic Thai food-delicious! Service is top tier, and it's a wonderful atmosphere. I'd eat here 3x a week if I could, but... they need to add a traditional chicken with ginger dish!!
