It's hidden away down an alley off of broadway but the service was amazing and it was some of the best Thai food I've ever had!

I love this place for a number of reasons:- The food is excellent!- The husband and wife owners are very kind and so nice!- This place has (4) tables and a very small table top bar. - The place is in an alley-way. Yes, I said an "alley". The restaurant even sits, slightly below grade/street level. All this (just) makes the place a quaint little (neat) place. Dumplings: The filling to the dumplings is excellent. The wrapper is super tender. Thai Fried Rice: Gee....these rice dishes tasted so well seasoned and prepared. Excellent flavor to this dish. Pad See Ew: The noodle dish was excellent. A bit on the sweet side today, but it has garlic and such, is coming through nicely. Tom Yum Kai soup: This hot and sour soup uses rice noodles for its base ingredient. The broth to the soup was light...yet had some layers of flavor, that were really pleasant. (2) different textured meats in this dish, which were equally tender throughout the soup. All and all, I'm glad I chose the soup on this night. "Hats Off"....to this owner-couple...making the food and overall dining experience, (more) personal than the norm! I'll be back, every time (I'm back) in Colombia.

Very delicious. Im a sucker for Thai and this provided me with all my favorites while being six hours from home. Their Thai Tea especially was on point. The Pad Kra Pao was very authentic but lacked a fried egg which isn't mandatory for the dish but it's always a nice touch. The combination of that, and separating the Panang from the streamed rice in a separate bowl instead of presented as a stir-fry (same presentation and consistency as the pad kra pao), as I like to mix them at my discretion as well as like the curry's presented in soup format. All of this is opinion though, everyone is different. I'm just a little more of a traditionalist coming from a career background in Thai specific Asian foods. I enjoyed this spot, especially it's hidden alley way location. I will return!Kid-friendliness: We had my friend's child with us who is autistic and requires some very special patience. Our server was great and even helped diffuse the situation more than once. He was very kind and it was greatly appreciated!

Decent small Thai restaurant off an alley. Cozy space. Not the greatest Thai food I've had but far from the worst. A worthwhile option when everywhere else has a long wait.

We did a large order from work for the egg rolls. When our order arrived there was no dipping sauce. When we called back we were told there was nothing they could do it was doordash. Will not order from there again

Saw this hole in the wall place and the good reviews and was excited. I've usually had good experiences. We walked in and there were two people at what looked like a bar, not sure if they were employees or customers, but they didn't bother to turn around. Then we noticed a woman draped over two chairs sleeping. Also not sure if she was an employee or a customer. Waited about 5 minutes looking over the menu. The sleeping lady never even stirred and the other two people didn't say or do anything the whole time. It was really weird. Ended up going somewhere else, but would really like to know what was going on that place.

Great food and super friendly staff! They also helped us gauge spice levels as most of us haven't been there before. God bless!

Food is decent but the portion size is a joke. Less that 1/2 what I would get in KC from the many fantastic Thai places there. My take out green curry had rice with maybe 1.5 cups of chicken sauce and veggie, barely enough to fill me and way less than what I would have expected. Definitely will never go back.Add: the potstickers were good, the soup was ok but I just. Had some the Thai green curry I ordered and it was the worst I have ever. I'd rather have frozen from Walmart...they should be ashamed

The restaurant was not very clean as there were black particles at the bottom of the water cups belonging to my friend and me. I also noticed the table across from us asked for a new serving plate as she said it was dirty. The waitress was extremely rude and impatient as she tried to rush our orders. Onto the food itself, the Pad See Ew was on the sweeter side. The curry dish was okay, but expensive because it came with more rice than meat. I liked how the kitchen area was visible to the customer and is similar to one that you have at home rather than a typical restaurant kitchen. Due to this, you can tell the chef is a hard worker as I watched him quickly make our order. However, the uncleanliness and lack of service means that I do not recommend this place.

First time coming here. Had the pad tai and red curry. Both couldn't have been better! Very pleased with the short wait time and courteous service. Clean restaurant and lots of customizations to your order. Will definitely be back!

Such an adorable back-alley experience. Feels like you're sitting in your grandma's kitchen. The food is amazing every time and usually so much you'll need a carry out box after.
