A hidden gem on the main drag, serving excellent Thai food that is otherwise passed over by the mass of tourists. Reasonable prices too.

This is a cozy place on the second floor. I had the pahd thai and it was very tasty. Waitress seated us right away and was pleasant. Overall a good experience.

Caveat emptor here! I was surprised to find a restaurant that finally charged under $20 per dish in this tourist trap part of the island. I quickly came to understand why. I started with fresh spring rolls -- two that were cut in half (so four pieces in total). Of the four pieces, only two actually had shrimp. That's not terrible, small businesses gotta cut costs. But the shrimp itself STILL HAD THE SHELL ON. Seriously? So unexpected, in a bad way. Then, the pad thai. This is the first time I've ever seen such a staple dish botched like this. Look at the photo -- this was clearly made with box spaghetti instead of rice noodles. So bad! Plus the taste was just off, nowhere near a pad thai dish worthy of the name. Do not come here, there's a reason the prices are so low, and it's not a good one!

Food tasted very bad! Ordered spring rolls and yellow curry.We only smelled bad oil from spring rolls which left bitter after-taste.Yellow curry was way too sweet/almost impossible to eat! Doesn’t recommend it at all!

How can I describe exactly how bad this food was… I’ve had Pad Thai all over the world, and like pizza it’s nearly impossible to mess up. This place actually made it inedible. It came in a congealed pile that looks like it had been sitting for hours, it tasted like it should have been thrown out hours ago. In fact there was no real taste except for the fish sauce and even that tasted spoiled.I also ordered some spring rolls with peanut sauce, I should have taken a picture because the size difference on the two spring rolls was so extreme it was almost like they came from two different restaurants- one was huge (nearly 6in long), the other was half that size. The peanut sauce was a sickly looking reddish brown that was completely inedible.I’d never recommend this place even on my enemies. I had no idea anywhere could ruin Thai food so badly. STAY AWAY.

Terrible food. Pad Thai had 5 times the amount of sugar as it should. The spring rolls had old dried pieces of shrimp. Everything did not taste good. Someone needs to help them.

This Thai restaurant is on the second floor and is a wonderful place! The fried rice we had was amazing as was the red curry chicken. The service was attentive and friendly. Everything had wonderful taste and the cost was very reasonable.

I get a lot of take out food from here. Good portions. Fair prices. Friendly service. Not a long wait time even when they are busy. My favorites are the Pahd woo sen, Pahd Thai, Green Curry, Tom Kah, and the Green Papaya salad. Cute little place upstairs right on the strip.

Just got delivery through Doordash. Green curry: consisted of 2 over-boiled whole potatoes. 4 huge chunks of over boiled carrots and one measly ounce of bland sauce that tasted more like seasonings you'd put on a thanksgiving turkey. I started removing all the inedible food in a bag and was left with nothing so it went in the trash where it belongs. Moved on to the spring rolls and after biting realized there's nothing inside. Deep fried empty rolls... shady businesses feel there's no repercussions when dealing with a 3rd party and this is an example of this.

We had the spring rolls one day but came back because the menu tantalized us with a house specialty: pineapple fried rice that was supposed to be fresh pineapple used in fried rice, then baked in a pineapple shell. The rice was good but ordinary with chunks of canned pineapple and no shell in sight. The waitress explained this was “family style” and that we had received extra portions. Portions were good and the food was good, we were just disappointed that the menu described a dish that they evidently no longer make.
