Beautiful patio seating. Pad Kee Mai was great. The Penang Curry was good, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Fav Thai spot in Tricities! So tasty, fast and cutest balcony! Reasonable portions, no film of grease overlying the food.

Pretty sure this had changed hands since I first reviewed.However, as of now, this is still some of the best Thai we've had in the tri-cities.The service was overall pretty good except one time we were pretty much abandoned on a really nice Sunday afternoon in spring. It was like everyone decided they were going to enjoy the weather, super weird, but kinda homey at the same time right?Still, amazing food.Most recent visit, outdoor tables seemed more compact to navigate, maybe one too many tables, would be nicer with more shade. Food is still outstanding though.

Best pad Thai I've ever had. The flavors were incredible! Such a cute restaurant too. Glad I stumbled upon this place because I will definitely be back. The woman that served us was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to visit again.

Where do you go to eat food that awakens your soul and tastes like rainbows and sunshine? Where do you take 11 and 12 year old bottomless pits? Here! Phenomenal food, service and hearty portions. Sat on the patio and had jasmine tea and an order of fried tofu (a lot more than expected and a great sauce). The 11 year old had Tom Yum with squid- he's a connoisseur and said it was one of the best. 12 year old had Pho and ate all of it. Got two thumbs up- a lot from a moody preteen. I had green curry with tofu and the hubs had Pad Thai with chicken. We both got 5 star spice and it was good. We might have added more spice that came but can't blame them for not wanting to overdue it. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves amazing food!

Cute place with a friendly staff. Ordered a to-go order of Pad See Yew for lunch, and it was super expensive, tiny and greasy (which added to its funky flavor profile). I'm going to come back during the summer months to sit on the patio and give the dine-in experience a try. Perhaps it'll be better.

Disappointing and lacking in flavor. Barely any meat and tiny amount of rice given compared to cost. I was shocked how bad everything was. They used to be better.

I ordered the Panang Curry, Pad Thai Noodles, and a Thai Coffee for pickup earlier this week. It was amazing. I could eat that curry every day of the week. This is my new favorite spot! I

Ok.. so moving from the Seattle area last May, I've been super sketch about trying out the food scene here. I just can't afford to be disappointed and I hate the thought of throwing food away. But if it doesn't satisfy my snobby palette, I won't eat it. I can't afford calories that don't taste great either Last Thursday, I ordered the Pad Thai and Butterflies from here. I was so pleasantly surprised! The Pad Thai was PERFECT! I devoured the entire thing. The Butterflies were also great This was the first Thai I'd had in the area and I don't know if I need to try anywhere else. I did also order the Red Curry. I normally order the Panang Curry but their Panang included different veggies than I'm used to so I opted for the Red. Their Red Curry had the veggies that I normally expect in Panang but it's just not Panang Curry so that, I may have to find elsewhere. NOW... after almost a year without Thai, I needed more so I ordered again the very next Saturday. And maybe it was busier ‍ but where you expect consistency, I was mildly disappointed. The Pad Thai was just a tad drier. It was missing the wedge of lime that really is a must. The Butterflies didn't include the dipping sauce and were slightly overcooked. I mean, I still didn't let any go to waste but the standard had already been set. TODAY (Thursday again) UberEats sends a $15 coupon and I can't resist. Ordered the same and it was PERFECT. I'm wondering if Thursday's cook needs a promotion/raise cause so far, it's on point on Thursdays! Highly recommend.

Excellent flavor. Had Yellow Curry with chicken, and Stir Fry with Chicken. Ample servings too.

Horrible. We walked in and it appeared old and tired. It looked like only one person working. She told us to take a menu sit wherever. We found a table. It was so cold in there we couldn't take our coats off. The person came and took our order. As we waited, an ugly bug came walking across the table. We got up and moved to another table. We told the person working but she just sort of shrugged. The food arrived. Portions were very small in comparison to other Thai restaurants. The chicken pad thai was bland and gummy. The cashew chicken had lots of cashews, very little chicken and large pieces of onion. Not very flavorful. They seem to have a steady to go business.

Normally I don’t leave reviews but I couldn’t not for this place. If I could leave less than one star I would. Orange chicken was jello on a plate. Phad tai had absolutely no flavor. Maybe it was an off day but I will not be coming back.

Ordered pad Thai (with no eggs due to allergies) and the spring rolls and it was delicious! I have had lots of Thai food and I recommend this spot in the Tri-cities!

Tanner King
