Dinner on a Saturday night started around 7pm. We ordered the seafood salad, cashew chili beef, curry lamb shank, and stir fried eggplant. The seafood salad was quite large, with a good amount of calamari, mussels, crab chunks, and greens, dressed lightly in a vinaigrette. It was fresh and light. The chili cashew beef was a bit too saucy snd one dimensional (sweet). The beef was chewy and didn't have much flavor. The lamb shank was quite tasty and the rice has peanuts to add a delightful crunch. Eggplant dish was a bit oily, but the eggplant was creamy and well seasoned. Atmosphere is a bit industrial and service attentive and quick. Good in a pinch, but not my favorite.Parking: Good amount of free parking spaces behind the restaurant.

The place is good and dishes looked great. Ordered the the veggie pumpkin curry and asked for very mild, it was way too spicy. I should have sent it back.My partner got the veggie green curry and that was better (very mild)Also last called for dishes at 7:30… so get there very early if you are dining.

Easy four starts. Great atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating as well. I have been to Saladang, which is right next door a few times which I also love. This place is a "garden" so it offers lots of outdoor seating. There's plenty of indoor seating too. It's pretty much all windows for walls which means lots of natural lighting. Really nice. The food was great. I had the catfish fillet. $16.00. It came with rice and salad. The fish was deep fried...kind of like fish 'n chips, but rice instead of chips. It was super light and tasty. Too bad they didn't have french fries to go with it. I'd be all in! OK, sorry, I regress, I know it's a Tai restaurant. haha. My friend had the Papaya Salad. $14. She loved it. I had a taste. I loved it, too. Nice and fresh. The service was great, and the atmosphere was too. Perfect to have a nice meal and a nice chat. I saw a small group of people celebrating a birthday there. Perfect place for for that, too.They have a good-sized parking lot and plenty of street parking out front. I will certainly return.

Still one of the best places for Thai food. Their Pad Thai is excellent, as is the Chili Basil (I had it with pork and it was delicious) the Salad Rolls (fresh raw spring rollsl are a great appetizer.

Not traditional Thai style Very disappointed no...........Fire rice has a lot of sugar.Nonononono onononon
FOODSPICY THAI FRIES $12The seasoning was tasty, but the texture of the fries was mediocre. They were akin to grocery store frozen fries. The portion was large, though, too much for two people.LEMONGRASS SOUP (TOM YUM) Small w/shrimp $10Pleasant broth, but the soup contained too many inedible ingredients. The galangang slices felt and tasted like raw ginger. There was quite a bit of some kind of woody shoot (bamboo?). The texture of the lime leaf was unpleasantly firm/waxy.PUMPKIN CURRY w/ chicken $15 & WHITE RICE $2.50Enjoyable, but not spectacular.GREEN BEAN & SHIITAKE MUSHROOM STIR-FRY w/ beef $16Sent this one back. The veggies were good, but the beef was tough and overcooked. It seemed like it had been microwaved. Some pieces were cool or lukewarm while others were piping hot.SERVICEThree different young ladies helped us. No one was rude, but neither was anyone particularly friendly. When the soup was brought out, the server asked us what else we had ordered. The fries and entrees arrived shortly after. No one came to see how we were enjoying our meal, so I had to flag someone down about the stir-fry. She did offer something else, so I asked to see the menu again. She left to get us a refill while we looked at the menu but forgot to come back! Eventually another server came along. We were going to order a salad to replace the stir-fry, but it had been so long we just asked for our bill. The girl who had left the menu did come back with the refill and to bus our table while our check was being processed. She said, rather bluntly, "I forgot to come back. Did you want something else?" She never apologized about the stir-fry or the failure to return for my replacement order, nor did a manager ever appear.ATMOSPHEREThe website boasts: "with exquisite décor and elegant ambience, it is the ideal setting for romantic rendezvous". The patio looked lovely, but it was a chilly evening. None of the outdoor heaters were operating, so we opted to sit inside. The dining space has high ceilings and concrete floors, but it felt more "abandoned warehouse" than "hip industrial." There are no booths, just open floorspace with tables and chairs. The food is brought out on noisy rolling carts, which added to the overall cafeteria feel. We didn't get the romantic vibe we were hoping for.OVERALLIt was a disappointing experience for our anniversary dinner. It might be okay for a casual lunch on a nice day to sit outside, but we likely won't return.
