It was thin, bland, and excessively sweet. The dish included four thin slices of tofu, a few green bell pepper pieces, and far too many bamboo shoots. We definitely should have stuck to our favorite Thai spots in Uptown or on the South Side.

This time, we tried the pork ribs, crispy chicken, and pad Thai, and everything was exceptional. The servers were also very friendly and accommodating.

I also highly recommend their fried rice. As for the curry, the crispy noodles were tasty but a bit scarce; the rest of the dish consisted of soft noodles. So, only order it if you’re a big fan of curry.

The miso hot buttered rum was a standout too, so unique and a big portion. We went on a Monday so it was easy to get a table as a walk in. I can't wait to go back.
