This is our favorite restaurant in town. The food is amazing. So many restaurants just serve the same old basic food, but you can tell the food here is cooked by a trained chef with layers of complex and delicious flavors. In addition, it might be the best sushi in town as well. I think we say, "This food is so good," with nearly every bite! Our favorites are the Kaboom Maki sushi roll and the Chicken Massaman!

My Chicken Penang was Excellent wit lots of perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken, Great sauce snd a fair amount of veggies. No overloading with onions and peppers here! Ram out of peppers to eat with my chicken just because there was so much great chicken! My daughter had the yellow curry chicken and sake just loved it! Great friendly service; wee ate at the bar and Joey gook great care of us. We will be back!

I can't wait to go back and eat there again! The lunch specials are very reasonable had some with lots of wonderful food! My daughter (who hates everything) absolutely demolished the chicken satay appetizer as her meal and proclaimed it "delicious and juicy"

Excellent Panang curry and pad Thai. The staff was friendly and provided good service... but mostly delicious Thai food. We ordered extra meals for later!!

Delicious and pretty authentic. Pad se ew and basil spring rolls are particularly amazing.

The server was so sweet and did her very best! Sunday dinner, 7:00 ish. Seated immediately, not overly crowded. That did not make up for the food taking over an hour to arrive and it not being the correct temperature. Had the food been served not lukewarm, it would have been good. We hope they will get their act together. Since they were understaffed nobody came to check in so we ate it bc we were starving by that point.

We have been here many times and generally like the food, especially the steamed dumplings, which is why we come back. However, the service is extremely slow for dine-in (20 minutes before getting water and a 2.5 hour dining experience when we were one of two tables). We've also waited in the lobby for 45+ minutes past when we were told our order would be ready for take out. If you want to try the food, I would recommend getting take out at lunch time, as that's the only time we've had good experiences with the service here.

Have been here only three times since it changed from Surin but they knew what kind of wine we like. Very personal. I'm the strip on University. Park behind. Love to come here on a rainy day. Had the yummy yummy roll. Same coconut soup as Surin. Love the crunchy shrimp roll. Called SUPER CRUNCH! Reminds me of when I'd go there In Crestline.

Formerly Surin, this is a classic. From the sushi to the entrées, everything is good. My favorite appetizers are the crab rangoons and the coconut soup.

Very good food. Recommend the P1 combo and spicy shrimp chicken spaghettI. The server that we had tonight, Anna, wasn't very nice. She did check in often enough but definitely had an attitude. We met the owner/manager last time we were in and he was very nice and so was the server that day at lunch.

First time going. The Shrimp Basil Rolls (appetizer) were thrown together, loosely, with a large handful of rice noodles, one shrimp and basil leaves - nothing else. No carrot, cucumber, or the usual fillings. The peanut sauce with it was average. The Pad Thai Chicken was awful, soupy, and the sauce tasted nothing like pad Thai. Also, there was no lime or cilantro or peanut pieces. I cannot remember what my husband ordered, but neither of us could eat it. Such a shame. We miss Ruan Thai that used to be across the street. You'd think the only Thai restaurant in town would take pride in their attempt to make actual Thai food.

Did carry out on Friday night of a very busy Greek Parents weekend. Had a modest wait but the food is the story here. It was obvious they were busy and like everywhere possibly a little short staffed. Even with that, the food quality all around of our party of seven that ordered was exceptional. Loved the Drunken noodles, pad Thai and rolls. Will definitely head back soon.

took one hour to pick up food that they prepared incorrectly. order was taken down right but actual meal was wrong. waste of time and money.
