We had a delicious dinner here the other day. We ordered pad Thai, red curry, chow mein, spring rolls, fresh rolls and Thai iced teas Everything was so tasty, hot, and the portions were very generous. Friendly service, can’t wait to go back!

Very cute family-owned restaurant! Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area. The Orange Chicken wings were crispy, sweet, and tangy; yum! We had their lunch specials. The Red Curry was a little bit sweet but still yummy, and the Pad Thai was also a little bit sweet but the noodles were nice and chewy and both dishes had a good amount of chicken. I also really liked their Thai Iced Tea!

A small restaurant so sometimes there is a wait for seating. This building has been so many different businesses since I moved here in 1987. And it's showing its age from all the changes. However, the staff are super friendly, the food is super delicious, fresh and so flavorful. Many great items to choose from. They offer eat in and take out. Looking forward to trying more.

For some strange reason I have not check this place out since it was a different restaurant. And I am very familiar with this location because when I was a kid, this was the good ice cream parlor! We saw very high reviews but did not let that sway our decision top much as we did not comment before ordering dinner. We chose one of the curry dishes which had excellent flavors. We also tried one of the stir-frys which was very tasty as well as a beef noodle dish which was very well spiced. I would recommend ordering dishes at a "medium" level of spice unless you are extreme when it comes to spice. If you are not familiar with what each dish would look like, they have pictures of the dishes on the wall of this very intimately small place that is huge on taste. I want to try everything there!

Small restaurant serving up some amazing Thai food! Favorite dish I tried was the drunken noodle. Papaya salad, Massaman curry and Thai chilli paste fried rice were other dishes I tried and they all were great. Our waitress was very friendly, great service. Looking forward to trying some more dishes here soon!

This is our FAVORITE Thai food. We drive from Seattle to get it. Love love love the Khao Soi - we always get that and something else, the Panang and Massaman curry are two other faves. But we have tried nearly everything on the menu and it’s all amazing!
