Outstanding papaya salad!Lots of unique offerings, plus some familiar options for the hesitant.

Don't skip on the fried tofu. It's a yellow tofu and it has thus creaminess on the inside that goes really well with the sauce. Plenty of vegan options I got the bento box one had a little bit of everything.Vegetarian options: Plenty of options that are not vegan versions of themselves. Can exchange some items aswell.

We wanted to try this place for a while, and it did not disappoint. I had the pork and potato stew, and it was very rich in flavor. The service was good even though there were only a couple servers working. The atmosphere could use more decorations, but the artwork on the walls are a nice touch. It's a very unique place with options you won't likely find anywhere else in Central Iowa. Highly recommend.

Great new place go eat at. Wonderful staff! Will be coming back.
Had an amazing dinner here. We went, not knowing what to expect, but were blown away by the quality and taste of the food. The service was great as well. We had the OHN NO KHAO SWE (coconut chicken noodle soup), the LAPHAT THOKE (tea leaf salad) and the ZAKAW HTAMIN (plate of like nine different things). Everything we had was unique and delicious. Can't compare these flavors to any other Asian cuisine, completely unique and amazing. Would absolutely recommend.
Really good food, slow service. The restaurant never seems to be busy, I wonder which problem came first. I want to go back, but I have to plan an extra half hour or so into my day to make it happen.

This place is great and deserves more business than it gets! We dined in the restaurant, tried the fried rainbow rice (A Sein Kyaw) entrée and the fried Tofu appetizer (Tohu Jaw). Absolutely amazing! The waitress answered all of my questions and even came back with more answers than she had before! They made all requested adjustments with no problem and even surprised me with an adjustment she thought they couldn't make. Go here, it's simply wonderful.
