Great food for take out. They used to offer delivery, but I think they stopped that. Still, a great option for Thai at reasonable prices.

Most affordable Thai food that's taste good. Wouldn't say it the best however for the price it's good. I ordered for pick up they are kind and it was ready on time. Nothing great nothing bad just as I expected.

Best seafood pad Thai ever! They are generous with the seafood, and I love how the mussels are big! I also love that it includes scallops. Shrimp is also a good amount and good size too. Pad See Ew was also delicious, as well as the chicken satay with the peanut sauce. I don't mind that it's still take-out only and no dine-in; just remember that it's always easier to call in your order first and time it out to get there so that you don't have to wait. I called in from home around 5pm, and the person said it'll take around 25-30 minutes. No biggie! I got there, paid, and got my food right away!

Authentic Thai food prepared and cooked by authentic Thai chefs! As ancestry DNA has proven, I am authentically Thai. Therefore allowing me to authentically rate this authentic Thai restaurant authentically. Authentically-speaking, I've spent time with my authentic Thai father, consuming authentic Thai food in our home, and in his authentic birth country of Thailand. Considering these authentic facts, and the additional, authentic fact that I have spent a total of 3 months worth of life in authentic Thailand; I believe my review provides the most authentic feedback. Seriously... The food is great... And authentic. The service is personable and like an authentic thai home kitchen. Authentically sincere, Andrew

The potstickers are a definite must. They were very tasty! The Pad Thai was decent. I've had better but it did the job for me at lunch at my desk. The portions are very generous and everything is decently priced. Service was quick as well!
