My husband and I went to lunch here for the first time since the whole Covid life began. I absolutely LOVE their Coconut Soup! I got the huge pot of Coconut Soup so I could have left overs. My husband loved all of his food. Their dumplings are amazing! It was very strange to go eat and be the only people in the restaurant. A couple people came in for take out orders, while we were eating. Everyone working was so amazingly kind and helpful.

Fabulous Food! We had Boba Thai Ice Tea, Deep Fried Calamari, Seafood Drunken Noodles and Seafood Red Curry. Both Entrées were ordered with #3 heat (Thai hot) which was just right for us...hot but not so hot that we couldn't enjoy our food. The owner, her niece and the rest of the staff were friendly! We'll be bringing friends here for sure!

The tapioca in the Thai tea was very fresh and soft. We also tried the duck wings (10/10) and the Pho noodle soup which had pretty generous portions

First experience with Thai food, and was not disappointed. The red curry with shrimp had the perfect amount of spiciness

Went on a road trip to Erie and found this place. We were so excited to visit but unfortunatly by the time we finished college tours the restaurant was about to close. To be respectful we called about 20 - 30 minutes before closing and asked if we would be able to pick up a take out order once there. Because it was near closing time, we didnt want to be the person who came in 10 minutes before, so we called to ask if it was okay with them. The person on the phone we spoke to said yes. We drove there, the door is locked, no one is opening. We call them and this time a different pereon picks up, a woman, and says sorry we are closed despite the fact that someone else just told us we can drive to pick up takeout. So despite the fact that we called to respect that the restaurant was closing, we were tricked due to their lack of communication and we wasted gas, time, and money driving there. If you did not want to offer takeout, you should have just told us before we rushed and drove about a half hour to pick it up, when we called to ask. Absolutely disgusted at this.

Worst ever Thai food, taste is very plain, stay away from this restaurant if you are looking for something authentic

This evening my husband and I stopped here, and, well, this is a two-star review, but I'll start with the positive... Positive features: Ingredients very fresh, received food quickly Main negative feature: The food tasted BAD. My husband got the pad see-ew with chicken, spice level 2 (out of three tiers). I got the veggie spicy fried rice, spice level 2. Upon our initial tasting, both of us winced. I was immediately assailed by heavy fish sauce action. I'm good with fish sauce and I've cooked with it at home, but it isn't an ingredient to be used willy-nilly. The rice was also hyper salty and sweet, as if they put in twice the amount of soy or stir-fry sauce than recommended (or maybe that's all that excess fish sauce they added). The heat was just right, but otherwise, beyond soy-salt-sweet-fermented fish taste it was bland. I ended up eating only the vegetables and the few pieces of tofu in the rice, but left behind the rice because I found it sickening. My husband's pad see ew was the same but worse. There wasn't any spiciness and it had even less flavor. The noodles used were the same are usually used for pad Thai. I found that odd as I am used to pad see ew being made with the thicker soft noodles. He was periodically encountering pockets of fermented fish taste. Oh, the other thing is that we had ordered the fried tofu appetizer. In this case, they fried the tofu, but put no other flavoring. I usually expect this to come with a sweet chili sauce. The sauce they provided was pink and cloudy with a vague sweet taste. I've never seen sweet chili sauce that is pink and cloudy. To top it off, service was slow and there weren't that many people there. I've never in my life had Thai food I considered bland. In fact, until now, I thought that was impossible. I don't anticipate us going back. Perhaps the curries are better? I'm not willing to risk it as we have other options in town.

I always get tasty food with great service. Don't be afraid to try something new. You could be pleasantly surprised.

The pad Thai was basically served in a sweet and sour syrup ... And way too much of it. I won't be back.

Not only some of the worst Thai, but some of the worst food in general I've ever had. There was six of us and the only one who enjoyed their food was the child who ordered off the kids menu. I've always heard it was hard to mess up pad thai, this place managed to do it. The iced coffee was good, and the service, although slow because there was only one server, was good and accurate, so one star for that. Avoid this place at all costs.
