Had a party of 5, 3 of the 5 had never had Thai food. I ordered the dim sum (very good), pot stickers (very good), spicy beef salad(not so good, I’ve had better). 2 orders of Pineapple fried rice (I have it before but would not recommended getting here, very salty), chicken fried rice , shrimp fried rice (both of the rice dishes were dry), and the spicy basil chicken (this is my go to dish, I wasn’t impressed at all, not enough basil in the dish). I’ve been to many Thai restaurants before, I would not recommend this place.

The service was amazing. We didn't realize it was close to closing, but we never felt rushed. The server was friendly and attentive. I wish I could remember his name but it was a tall guy with facial hair. The food was great and the coconut soup with shrimp was delicious. My first time ever having it and I loved it.

We stop in every time we drive to Alabama it’s a family favorite. They can make the Thai Noodle gluten and egg free. The coconut soup that comes with the entrees also GF.

The food was great as always. Chicken masaman and warm chicken salad are my faves. The coconut soup is a must. It was perfect for lunch on a rainy day.

I got the spicy Thai coconut soup from Surin West to go, and it was pretty good, but the tofu was not what I expected. The tofu pieces were really small; kind of what you would expect in miso soup. As a result, I do not recommend this soup as an entree. Besides tofu, the soup had some mushrooms, and scallions. Overall, the restaurant is really nice. They have very low lights, and even a lounge (I am guessing it is to socialize and enjoy some drinks from the bar). During lunch, the restaurant is usually not busy, but it gets pretty packed later in the afternoon/ evening. The staff is really nice, and I didn't see any COVID-19 restrictions, but the restaurant is kept pretty clean.

I’ve been coming here for 16 years. I love their Pad Thai Tofu. It’s so big now since renovation, it’s lost a coziness but I get they have to accommodate larger groups. This February 2024, I met a friend for Thursday night dinner at 5:30, so pretty empty. Food, including their delicious egg rolls, were delicious as always. I was disappointed they no longer do a pot of tea, but only single cups now. Presentation of tea was off. Plain see-glass mug, with two honey packets. The tea cup was sitting in a puddle of tea in the saucer, so the packets were all wet and the cup dripped every time I drank from it. Doesn’t seem like a lot for an Asian restaurant to be able to have pots of tea for those who want it. That is my only complaint.Parking: I am delighted they still have parking available in the back!

Great food, ALL the time. I had chicken curry and there was so much I'll get to enjoy it for lunch tomorrow. My husband loves their scallops.

This is one of my most favored restaurants. It’s very reasonably priced. The service is cordial and quick, and the atmosphere is great. A very nice place to take a date when money is skim but you want to impress. My favorite is the Thai Barbecue Chicken.Parking: Very busy location at times, so parking can be a problem. Limited parking in rear. Metered parking on street. Free street parking a block away.

Lunch here is a must. Lunch specials or dinner comes with their coconut soup which is so good!Portions are large enough to have a take home box.
