Good food, fresh and Thai. This is a small spot with great food. It's a bit hiden, but definitely, you should give it a try. Silver Noodles, Drunken Noodles, and Green Curry were fantastic. You have this sensation to want more after a bite.

Real hidden gem. My wife and I have been enjoying Thai food and discovered this restaurant online. It is surrounded by corporate businesses, but it means plenty of parking available and a very peaceful lunch. The interior is very clean and has many retro throwbacks and pieces...Read More

The food here is consistently excellent, and while it may take a little longer during busy lunch hours, it's always worth the wait. If you're on a tight schedule, I recommend calling ahead to preorder.
