Food is so bland. They either use too much spice or none at all. Hardly any meat, so you're paying for mostly noodles or vegetables.

This is probably my least favored option for Thai food in the area. This is definitely not the majority opinion, as I know some people who swear by it, but I also know a lot of people who agree with me that it's not great.The two problems I have with recommending this place are the service and the food.Service is very, very slow here. I can't be sure, but I think they very much prioritize takeout orders, as it's not uncommon to see quite a few takeout orders come out of the kitchen while waiting for the server to come over and take your order, and then many, many more takeout orders come out while you wait for your food to eventually arrive - and it always arrives very piecemeal - so some people get their food 10-15 minutes before everybody else has gotten theirs. Makes for a really frustrating experience.The quality of the food is fine - it doesn't seem like it's cheaply made, or made out of sub-standard ingredients. It seems mostly fresh, though not the freshest. The problem is that all of the dishes I've tried just don't taste like I'd expect, and have slightly off ingredients - like stuff that's not normally in the dish other places. I'm having a hard time remembering which ingredients I'm thinking of... They also don't make food spicy no matter how insistent you are that you want it actually hot.The only time I eat here is if I'm with somebody who insists this is where they want to eat, and when I do, I just have to grin and bear it. It's not like the food is awful, just not great, and nowhere near as good as several of the other really good Thai places in town.I know a few people who would consider themselves "regulars", and when I've gone with them, the server/owner seems to recognize them and say "hi", but it frankly doesn't seem to improve the speed/quality of the service, and the food is still just not that great. Again, serviceable in a pinch, but go somewhere else if you don't want to wait forever for mediocre, not spicy Thai food.Parking: Parking is never a problem. The lot is free and it's plenty big for the amount of traffic the strip mall hosts at any given time.Kid-friendliness: Chicken Satay and rice are pretty safe kid's options here.

This has become one of our spots to eat when we are in south Salem. Never had a bad meal, only once did we get a meal that wasn’t exactly correct. Avocados were missing from an avocado curry - hence the drop in star for food. Service is good. A LOT of takeout at this place. For every one dine in we probably saw two or three times the number of takeout’s.Parking: At night there is a lot of parking, during the day it can be more difficult to find as other daytime business’ are sharing the same lot.

I ordered delivery. THE worst green curry I have ever had.They poured sugar in to this dish to cover their ineptitude. This should be a spicy, sweet, savory and complex dish and they bastardized it with gross amounts of sugar. No proper chef would allow this garbage to leave their kitchen. I threw the whole order away and am pissed I wasted my time and money in this farce.

Worked herePlease don't eat it.Some of the cooks are A1 and do a proper kitchen. BUT I saw on multiple occasions things that would've shut the restaurant down. Molded/stenchy meat being washed and then cooked in ample sauces to hide that rancidness.I don't think the owner is aware of what his workers are feeding his customers all the time he's a cool guy and I hope their nastiness doesn't get anyone sick or the place shut down.Now as a place for employment. They'll give you work but you won't be properly working. No food handler cards needed/required for employment (yikes) the tips that are "pooled" are not legally distributed to the staff. At first they gave me cash tip at the end of each shift and with my check and stub I'd get cash with receipt telling me it was online tippers ....... after my first couple months that stopped so I guess they decided to withhold tips but only from me ??Anyways great Mango/sticky rice.Terrible meat (never know if it's good or spoiled) big old fat F on cleanliness and F on being a just and proper employer.

I have never visited this place, I have only ordered via door dash. The mango sticky rice is unmatched, the best sticky rice I’ve had with a cool bright green color and the peanut noodles are phenomenal as well as the Thai
Awesome place..can’t go wrong with the curry..

My favorite Thai restaurant for gluten free (celiac) options, and the service was fast and friendly.
