This is an authentic Thai restaurant we visited for lunch. The food was reasonable but not the best Thai I have had. That said the food came out fast and the staff were willing to accommodate last minute change requests. My complaint and the reason I didn't score it a 5* is that the curry was too watery, a soupy consistency. Most places I have had Panang or any Thai style curry came with much thicker base, a sauce rather than a soup. Here, we seem to have compromised saucy thickness for speed of delivery. Again, the Pad Thai was sweet, but this is becoming an endemic throughout Thai restaurants: if we want to tone down on heat we get more sweet.

Good quality Thai dishes. There was a fair amount of meat for the prices. Service was fast and friendly. The Roast Duck Curry was very delicious, and the pineapples gave a free sweet balance. The drunks of noodles with beef, shrimp and Calamari were also very good. However, the quantity and size of the Calamari were small. The Spiciness was on site with our wishes.

The server (Lin) was beautiful and welcoming. The food was fine. I'd give it another chance since I came around 1500 and I suspect that the food was sitting since lunch. Taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The pictures I made were after I had a few bites, so don't let me go. Sticky rice mango was good!

Great Thai restaurant. Has all the dishes, drinks, and desserts one can expect for an American Thai venue. Service and food quality are good as expected. If you 're in the mood for good Thai, this is a place to try. I highly recommend their fresh rolls appetizer.
