Delicious food and warm, welcoming service! Both the pad kee mau and the papaya salad were bursting with flavor and served in generous portions. The medium spice level was a bit too intense for me, so I recommend going with a milder option if you're sensitive to heat. The dishes complemented the Thai beer perfectly. I also highly recommend the refreshing coconut water on a hot afternoon—it instantly cools and relaxes you! Don’t forget to try their homemade chili oil, which is worlds apart from any store-bought version you've had. I strongly recommend this charming little hidden gem. P.S. Not a big deal, but I wish they had air conditioning!

Welcoming, fresh and delicious food. Worth a stop during your travels. I was welcomed by multiple people when I entered and the suggestions for what to order were on point! The photo of the spring rolls was taken after I enjoyed the first one, so know it is an order of 4, not 3.

I have been coming here for years and I need to share and express how amazing Sam and his team are! The food is always fresh and flavorful! They listen to your restrictions if you want any and give huge portions! This place is a little hidden gem that's for sure! If you haven't tried it then you are missing out!
