“My partner and I are vacationing in Half Moon Bay this week. We couldn't be more pleased with the meal we've just had. The staff was attentive and kind. The food was phenomenal! We had the BBQ spare ribs, beef khim, fried tofu and the mango sticky rice. So delicious! Thank you so much!Vegetarian options: Fried tofu!!“

“Upon entering, the setting was cozy, dimly lit, and there were modest decorations. The waiter bowed and greeted us with a friendly smile. Though they were the only one serving, so it was slightly slow; understandable though. They were still very polite and helpful. Food was light, healthy, and tasty. Samosas were probably the healthiest samosas I've ever had. We also ordered the Pad See Ew (vegetable) as well as brown rice with sweet and sour veggie chicken, which were both sooo delicious. It was fairly busy on a Saturday at 7pm...almost a full house. Overall, great experience. The food tasted and felt like exactly what a body needs! So tasty and healthy. Prices were also fair. I would definitely recommend this place.“

We are already talking about going back!“

“Delicious Thai food and great atmosphere! I loved the live music and cozy interior. The coconut soup and pad thai were soooooo good. We ordered a Panang curry but it never came, so our server gave us a dessert on the house. I told her it was perfect because it was my friends birthday and she came back with an entourage to sing to her! Great food, great service, and great price!“
