Was planning on going here but after reading the rude and snarky replies from the owner in response to one star reviews I changed my mind. Was uncalled for and unprofessional.

Our favorite place to eat when we dwelled near there 11 years ago. Our favorite dishes were the pineapple fried rice, chicken satay and the mango sticky rice for dessert.

The best Thai food you can get. I LOVE this place, and they have the real Thai spice. My family lived in Thailand for a few years (Chiang Mai) as missionaries and this is the closest to authentic.Recommend:Panang Curry - Spicy, peanut, coconut flavors, this is really good if you like coconut and peanut, also very popular in Thailand.Mango Paradise - Decent of you like mango and veggies. I would have loved Papaya Salad but they didn't have it, so this was a great alternative for the mango flavor instead of Papaya.Thai Fried Rice - Just Yummy! Put Panang over this instead of white rice and it's just crazy good!Pad Thai - This is one of the most hit out miss Thai dishes you can get but they serve it really good here! A lot of places have a ketchup flavor to it, yuck, but this place makes it very well.NOTE: This place is the real deal on spicy, so if you are used to "American," Thai 5-star go with a 2. I like their Thai spice, but it's definitely not one you should try unless you are crazy like me lol. If you are unsure and like spice, go with a 1 or 2, you can always ask for Thai chili on the side.Excellent food!!!

We had a great experience here. I ordered Thai Hot and I didn't feel the need to add more spice. The waitress was attentive but it wasn't busy at the time. We often visit the food truck with the same name but we wanted a sit down dinner.

Got the mango paradise. Food was decent but overpriced for amount and flavor. Fast service for take out. Friendly front staff. However, when requesting 3.5 spice was questioned multiple times if I was sure until I finally conceded to level 3. Food ended up having no spice. I did try my spouse's drunken noodles, spice 3, which had an okay kick. Dish was better too.Tldr -Pros: friendly, fast, clean.Cons: overpriced, small portions, food was ok, order was wrong.Recommend: no.Would eat again: no.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Lacey, their curry dishes are delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Reasonable priced and a great variety of Assian dishes. Good location, intimate setting, and lots of parking.If you like Thai food, give them a try, and you won't regret it.

I always get a little uneasy when I enter a restaurant at 2:00 PM on a Friday afternoon, and it turns out I'm the only patron. It's like "is there an event I don't know about?". But the place looked clean, and pretty large, and yet - empty. And I don't mean a few people here and there. Bone dry, desert empty. My wife was hungry, me not so much. To avoid the side effects of a hungry wife, we ordered the "Chef's Sample" which was very reasonable. A couple of spring rolls, filling unknown, a couple of gyozas, two skewed chicken satays, a dozen fried tofu squares, and a bunch of good sauces to go with them. Not bad at all, and it did solve the "hungry wife syndrome". A short background story. I have a weakness for Tom Yum Soup. Why? When we were living in Beijing, we stumbled onto a Sizzler's. Yes, Sizzler's. You have to understand, as an American living in China, EVERY Western restaurant feels like home. Even Sizzler's. That particular Sizzler's had soups. One of them was Tom Yum. Indeed, you would say and you would be right, Sizzler's is not a good role model for a Tom Yum soup. Tom Yum soup is actually Thai, and one should compare a good Tom Yum to a Thai Tom Yum. I did. Since I fell in love with that soup at Sizzler's in Beijing, I had dozens served to me in Bangkok, in the USA, and in Vietnamese as well as Thai restaurants all around the globe. Long story short, I saw Tom Yum soup on the menu, and I didn't need a second glance. Tom Yum it was. My wife ordered the Pad Thai. Both with chicken. My wife loved the Pad Thai. I took a sip of the soup, and immediately I understood: instead of the deep fish and chicken and vegetable flavor, there were two dominant flavors only: overwhelming lemon grass, and burning hot spice (I ordered level 2 of 4, which usually means spicy but explosive). The rest of the flavors were blown away by the lemon grass and the burning hot. There was a hint of flavor that didn't belong: something sweet, I can't tell what it was. The soup, unlike anywhere else, was served with no rice. I had to order a side of rice (no biggie). I took a spoonful, then another thinking the lemon grass flavor would dissipate - it did not. After the fifth spoonful I realized that I won't be able to sip anymore. In fact, I didn't want to. Yes, and the chicken was dry and chewy. So here's the deal: prices are reasonable. Pad Thai - my wife says "great", appetizers OK, Tom Yum - unreasonable. And a word about the service. Not a complaint. A word. When the service sees that a plate is about to return to the kitchen full (not half full, full full), the service must ask: "Sir, was there anything wrong with your dish?", to which I would have answered: "take it easy on the lemon grass, and no need to overdo it with the spices". No complaint. We paid and left, and truth is, we may go back. But no Tom Yum for you!
I do not like leaving bad reviews. If you go look at all my other reviews, I only tend to leave absolutely glowing reviews. This experience was so terrible and I’m blown away that I had to leave my first bad review. Let it be noted that the restaurant was basically empty on a Friday night. Should have been my first clue there might be issues. I have been dying to find a decent Thai place close to me and was excited to try this one out. I order an appetizer and entree. The entree came out first. I asked the server to go ahead and cancel the appetizer since I got my meal and it defeated the purpose now. She was talking loud to the kitchen staff so I hear that it was her fault she put my order in backwards and now she was going to have to pay for the appetizer out of her own money. Way to make me feel guilty. I told her never mind and to just bring out the appetizer. For my entree I ordered soup. And by that I mean just the basic broth no added veggies, tofu, or meat. When my check came it was more than expected. Why, because I guess they charged me extra for not having anything added to the broth because that makes sense! When I brought this to my server’s attention, she said that my price should be less than the price for veggies/tofu/chicken because I didn’t get anything and she would fix it. They got busy with a bunch of take out orders and left me in lurch for 5 minutes. Finally, I went up to the counter and instead of charging me less, they charged me the price that I it was if I had gotten chicken. I asked her to fix it and she said, I can’t, it is how the computer is and proceeded to answer more take out calls. I was fuming. So I just overpaid for my food, and told them I would never be back.Now, I’m looking at how quickly my leftover soup separated within minutes of leaving and I’m even more disgusted.

They have went down considerably in the last year I feel. I have been there a couple times in the last 6 months and both times I was so disappointed. The portion was meager. The seasonings were none hardly so it was like a dish full of greasy no seasoned rice and I always get chicken and there was maybe 3 tiny pieces of chicken!! I couldn't even eat it! Suffice it to say I won't go back. Seems like every business I frequent has gone down considerably in the last year! I will be adding this place to the list!

Came here with a party of 8 for an impromptu dinner about 75 minutes before their posted closing time. After seeing the size of the restaurant from the front door, I thought they'd turn us away. Needless to say the hostess gladly took us in and after taking a look around the dining room was actually much larger than I expected. Decor matched the style of food which is always a plus. Food was tasty and fresh-Like really fresh. And I recommend you heed the warning signs about the spice levels! Food took some time to come out but considering the size of our party I really can't complain. All in all a great place for a cozy meal for 2 or 8 with delicious plates.

My food was awful. Most wasn't cooked. My dancing beef was raw. My tofu was filled with water. This was the worst experience with food I've ever had in Olympia I will never be coming back. I cannot fathom how they have received so many positive reviews.
