A great stop to break up the road trip back up North with some tasty thai food.
The couple that served us were so welcoming and friendly. The clementines were a pleasant surprise. And double bonus they gave my sister a popsicle because she wasn’t prepared for her medium spicy food 🤣

We had an amazing experience at this Thai restaurant that I found through Google Maps. The decor both inside and outside of the restaurant transported me straight to Thailand, with unique decorations and vibrant colors that really set the scene. The owner is a Thai-Chinese, she is so sweet and enthusiastic!
The food we tried was homemade and authentic, and the quality of the ingredients really shone through. The fried fish was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the drunken noodles had just the right amount of spice to give them a kick. The fried rice and Pad Thai were also standouts, with unique flavor combinations that were both delicious and satisfying.
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine. While everything we tried was amazing. We will definitely be back next time!

If I could give a 100 stars I would. The place is clean and so fun. There is so much to look at, including pictures of the chef with the Thai royal family. We got the papaya salad, lemongrass soup, drunken noodles, and black pepper and garlic. Every last one of them was so delicious!
Our server was great and the chef came out and talked to us and was so sweet and kind. I will definitely be back.
