Wonderful place. Best Drunken noodles I've ever had. Very authentic, great atmosphere and really nice staff. Pool and Apple are awesome. Highly recommend!

Excellent Thai restaurant. All dishes had amazing flavors, courteous staff and nice atmosphere. Been here a handful of times and it’s always consistent. We came in close to closing time and they had no problem accommodating us. Highly recommended!

My favorite Thai restaurant! I go there all the time. Love the spacious and airy vibe, delicious and clean food, and the staff are always super friendly.

Always happy to welcome a new Thai restaurant to the county! Came in for lunch today with my son and had a delicious vegetarian special. He enjoyed his chicken dish. Fine level of spice and crisp veggies cooked to perfection. Service was efficient and friendly. Looking forward to coming back soon!
