That 1 star reviewer is out of their mind. I’ve been coming here for 8 years usually getting curry and it’s the best Thai curry I’ve ever had. Mango red curry is unreal, service has never been short of excellent for me, never seen this place dirty. I’m here literally once a week and go with friends all the time and that one star review is the first complaint I’ve literally ever seen, so I wanted to leave this review to let everyone else know to not take that review...

I ordered take-away. The food had a really good taste, but the rice and some veggies were a bit overcooked. The fresh rolls were very good. I plan to give this restaurant another try in the future.

Ordered their signature dish the Thai basil and it was mid. I asked for a fried egg on top and they said they didn’t do that. Waiter said it was the white version of Thai food 😂. Pad kra pao with no khi daw is not pad kra pao. Go to Sala Thai for way better quality authentic Thai food
