When you walk in the place it looks pretty modern and fresh. The service is simple, it is what you'd expect. The food is great and is priced reasonably. My favourite was the pad Thai, it had lot of good flavory, sweet and spicy and sour. The papaya salad was also really good as well!

Erik was the waiter for my table. He is so enthusiastic and always pays attention to all customers. We went to try Combo Thai BBQ Chicken, Pad See Ew, and Fried Rice. All 3 dishes are delicious and satisfying. Will be back!

Service was good. Food was hit or miss. The tofu larb was excellent (and I'm not a tofu fan), but my green curry chicken was watery and lacking flavor. In the grand scheme of Thai food there are better options.

- Even when 5 tables are occupied the food takes 30-40 minutes to arrive. Kitchen management is an absolute mess.- Food quality is below average at best. The white rice I got with curry was actually like hard. Like hard as in it felt like I am eating stones! Once I asked rice was not good, they warmed up and gave same rice!

Overall: The service and restaurant interior was great, but the food was oily. I would likely eat at another Thai place before coming back here. ~SPECIFICS~ Parking: No parking lot ): But there are ParkSJ garages that offer free parking for 90 minutes down the street ($1 for every extra 15min). Bonus that I felt pretty safe walking to and from my car. Seating: A good amount of seating and a pretty long table that can accommodate large parties. Bathroom: The bathroom was relatively clean, but a little crusty with the sticky floors. Food: I tried the roti bread with curry and pad see ew, and with both dishes, I've felt like I've had better versions of them elsewhere. - Roti bread with curry: I was not super impressed with how it looked when it came out. Slices of oily bread were laying on a bed of shredded cabbage (which didn't really make it look more appetizing) and some were burnt. The curry was really thin, almost like a water consistency. Surprisingly, the roti bread was flaky and tasted good when dunked into the curry. - Pad see ew: I was really happy with the portion size (typical big Thai food size) and was okay with the taste, though it felt like something was missing (still unsure exactly what it was). The flavor was very strong in the sweet Thai soy sauce and the texture was really oily :/. It was so oily that the sides of the plate also had oil and after eating, I felt like I was wearing an oil lipstick. Service: The waiter was very kind and attentive, great service!

Had pad kee mow and it was just okay. If you put pad see ew next to each other, you wouldn't tell the difference in taste or look. The pad keeps mow just tasted like pad see ew with basil. Disappointing that this and another thai place can't get it right. Nevertheless, it was good and generally what I would pay. It's close to work and the food came out fast. Would come here again but I wouldn't order this again.

It's pretty bad when they can't even fill the container to the top. Unfortunately the curry is rather watered down. Even though I have gone to this place for years in their previous location I will not be going back. They seriously need to look at the quality of their product and what they are putting out to their customers.

A little tricky to find but worth the find! No clear sign of where this place was except a small poster on the door, but the insides were welcoming and tastefully decorated. They have a good wine selection, but the red curries and the tom kha soup are what will have us coming back for more. The soup had large pieces of tofu and made for a delightfully healthy broth. The rice came in a cute coconut-like bowl.

I am very disappointed because you do not care about your customers. Every order you order i liquid about must be very spicy. But all the food had no taste. I don't understand whether you read everything written before placing an order or not. Very disappointed with the Thai food I paid for over a hundred dollars. But I am not happy with this food at all.
