oup so good, we ordered it 3 times. Deepest apologies to the kitchen, because they make everything to order, from scratch. don’t be like me, just go ahead and order extra because you will eat it! Thank you for putting up with us, you all were wonderful and we really enjoyed dining in with you. 10/10

This has to be the most mediocre Thai food in Chattanooga. No salt in my chicken curry whatsoever. Adding salt did not reveal any interesting flavors. Chicken had an overboiled texture instead of a slow simmered tenderness. Curry advertised to have bell peppers had two slices. Egg rolls were 100% full of rice noodles (??) and were totally unsatisfying. This food makes me want to go back and give a bonus star to other lackluster Thai places in town. Skip skip skip

food was great and service as well - the single person working the phones/register waited on us too, and was very nice. the food came extremely quickly and was very tasty. and the prices were shockingly cheap. we spent like 46 bucks for 2 people, each having ordered 2 appetizers, a main, and soda.the atmosphere was... very strange. only some of the lights were turned on and we were the only people dining in, which was a little creepy. overall has a kind of hole in the wall vibe. several people came by for takeout while we were there, which makes a lot of sense. I did like it though and overall recommend, though you may want to opt for takeout if you don't want such a run-down, low key experience.

I was hopeful. The people who work there were lovely. Sadly, the food was not spectacular. Panang curry had large chunks of boiled chicken, and a single slice of bell pepper (that's all). The Tom Kha Gai was oily and unmixed; it also was missing the vegetables and seasonings I generally expect in that soup. And every dish had an overpowering amount of fish sauce. Strong flavors, but none of the complexity that usually accompanies Thai food. On a bright note, the max spicy red curry was in fact very spicy, and had the vegetables one would expect (though the fish sauce was strong here as well). Oh well. Others have enjoyed the dishes. Maybe we went when the cooks were having a rough night.

If you guys like Thai food you have come to the right place. This place serves up home style noodles ?. Why go buy those little packages of noodles ?, shrimp, and chicken omg lol ? ? You guys know what I'm talking about ?. You guys place them in the microwave with a little water. You guys can get them freshly cooked from scratch delicious ?. Got it ? The thing is this place prepares it just as quick. Believe me there is a difference ?. I always appreciate it. It's down to earth, nothing fancy. It's clean, customer service is Professional, and Friendly at all times. It's restaurants like this, that has set Chattanooga aside from the country.

I highly recommend the Pad Thai, along with some Spring Rolls. The Chicken Yellow Curry, and Thai steamed vegetables will work. You ever had fried banana ?? Some like it hot. This is delicious ?, and good for you. A lot of their foods are prepared in a healthy way. If you are into health, fitness ?, they gotcha covered. Anything sea food will always work from scallops, shrimp, and Thai steamed veggies. These are my personal favorites, and can be yours as well ?.

Good authentic Thai restaurant. The ladies that own and run this place are so nice and friendly. Think of this as a Diner,Drives and Dives type of restaurant. It has some neat painting created by elephants, etc. There is some worn out carpet on the floor,etc but the food and service can’t be beat. They also do take out. Pad thai and Thai Chili are two of my favorites. Get the egg rolls too!

The lady up at the front was very nice. The food, however, was not. Got the red curry and the dumplings. Large price, small portions, and the food was pretty bland to boot.

If you love Thai food or if you have never been to a Thai restaurant then you should definitely not go here. The food didn’t taste good plus the serving was too less for the $$ they charge. Fried rice tasted decent but didn’t look good. The building had some kind of bad smell.

Tasty food and friendly service. Dumplings are hefty. Entrees were typical Thai fare, nicely seasoned. Some limited parking spaces in front, close to public parking across the street.

Very good food! We were visiting from out of town, and it was great to get some decent food out. I hate to hear that they will be closing this year!
