I didn’t raise any complaints, but I felt that the flavors weren't quite right. The chili basil shrimp lacked the expected spiciness, and the basil was very understated. Overall, the dishes were quite mild.

The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, and the staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend the Tom Yum soup and the Pad Thai, as well as any stir-fry (the one with ginger is my favorite). The green curry is also quite good!
