Consistently excellent service! Sophisticated yet casual vibe. Lots of customers BYOB. We love everything but keep coming back to the Pad Thai. It's spicy and a little sweet. Recommend a reservation to hold your spot on the weekends.

Love the scallop with cucumber appetizer and their Pad Tia-nicely decorated too-go enjoy!

Certainly the best Thai on the West Shore. A bit of a refined atmosphere. Great date spot. Good food and great staff.

Never disappoints. Order the house rice w/ your dish. Amazing flavor every time! Favorite is the shiitake mushroom with asparagus and shrimp.

The servers know the menu well, and the food is always top-notch. It's a great restaurant for date night.

Enjoyed the food and presentation was nice. Service was good. As a career chef I was slightly let down by the giant portion of noodles and the fried noodles on top of my dish vs the seafood portion and lack of any veg in a $25 crab noodle special. Still I’d recommend it, although I would avoid pricey seafood apps and entrees that are skimpy.

The food was fantastic! The calamari was bland but the different dipping sauces made them tasty. They were crispy and not rubbery. The catfish cha cha was really tasty. You need reservations Friday and Saturday. The service was great. The ambiance was nice. I'd go back.

Excellent food. Good ambience & u can BYOB. We tried their Panang curry, green curry, Spicy Thai fried rice & the crab fried rice. Everything was good. This place is always busy, so make ur reservations in advance. They do a takeout as well.

Wonderfully seasoned cuisine w/the freshest ingredients!! For apps we had Thai spring rolls (filled w/cabbage, silver noodles & carrots); their thin, crispy fried shells, veggie filling & tangy sweet & sour sauce made the perfect trifecta. We also had Thai steamed dumplings (flavorful minced pork & shrimp inside tender, thin wonton wrappers w/sweet soy vinaigrette); they were my fav! For my entree, I had shrimp & scallops (so meaty & tender) w/green curry sauce (mildly hot & expertly spiced in a coconut milk base over tender eggplant slices, bamboo shoots & red bell peppers), served w/steamed vegetable mix (tiny portion--2 broccoli florets, 3 or 4 small cabbage slices & curling carrot garnish) & Jasmine white rice. It was excellent; l only wish it came w/more steamed broccoli & cabbage! My brother had the beef short ribs special in yellow curry. I sampled it & the meat was so tender it could be easily fork cut & melted in your mouth. The sauce had a sweetness owing to coconut, I believe & was served over potatoes & carrots. Our server was friendly, attentive & thorough. The atmosphere was simple w/a few decorative Thai accents--gold statues at entrance, hanging bamboo lanterns & colorful Origami-like fish on the wall. Will definitely visit again soon!!

Always good food. Fresh and authentic Thai food. Ive gone there numerous times and have taken friends and family there, and they have all enjoyed it. BYOB and the service is good. It's best to make reservations.

This place is just ok for me. It feels weird cuz the waitresses are white and I have no clue who is cooking back there but I have been here twice and ordered the Penang chicken but it tasted just ok and was more watery than I liked. It also had peas in it and I'm not used to that. The portions seemed small too compared to other Thai restaurants.I have no knowledge of culture? I'm Filipino and traveled all over the world. Husband is a veteran of Latin descent who's also traveled all over the world with military. Lack of knowledge? I have a doctorate in pharmacy. We retired young and came from Washington, DC area where we ate at Duangrats, Rabieng Thai, Little Korea in Annandale, etc. Trust me, I won't be back to your restaurant. Pad Thai down the road tastes better.

Best Thai restaurant in town. Won’t go wrong with the dishes. Try their dumplings and Singapore noodles. Their wok dishes are amazing. Ambience is cozy and welcoming, it’s a mix of traditional and slight modern touch.Parking: Open parkingKid-friendliness: Kids friendly
