I have no idea what happened with our food, but we got two entrees of drunken noodles for takeout and they were really bad. The noodles were totally white, with no seasoning, sauce, or anything in them. Only a few basil leaves. Totally "sober" noodles, if you will. I'm not sure if the takeout just messed up, but it was incredibly disappointing, like they just forgot to put any flavor on our noodles.

This place was phenomenal, absolutely delicious. We've sent friends and taken people to eat here several times, and everything we've ordered has been amazing.No heat is okay, some heat is flavorful spicy, and hot is well HOT. I suggest going medium or was well

Best Thai place I’ve ever been. EAT IN HERE!! Their takeout is amazing but for only the price of tipping you get Michelin star worthy service from the nicest staff, a sophisticated quiet ambiance, and I think larger portions than the takeout. Their service makes the Ritz blush in shame while you sink into the best Thai food. Try their fried calamari and you can thank me later.

Came on a Saturday night and it was easy to get a table, we didn't need a reservation (though they do take them). Staff was friendly and service was good. We ordered the beef pad see ewe and beef massaman curry. Both were good. The pad see ewe was typical, not remarkable. The portion was large. The massaman curry was the better dish which came with huge pieces of beef that were very tender. The sauce was quite good. Good sized restaurant with tables that can accommodate large groups. Parking is easy with a parking lot in front and ample parking.

Among the more legit Thai places I’ve tried in the area, and the meat in all their dishes was done to perfection. Their pad Thai is a little sweet for my taste, but everything else was superb.

This restaurant has gone down in the food quality and quantity and deserves one star out of 5.I ordered take out, upon returning home to find that the 5 pieces Hae Kuen were burned and greasy, like they were frozen then refried for the third time. The chicken ka prow (basil) were mostly (90%) onions and spring onions (scallions) with a sprinkle of ground chicken meat! So disappointed in the quality and quantity and for the increased in costs they cut the quantity too.
