They offer lunch specials that come with an entree and cucumber salad veggie rolls. I really enjoyed the Pad See Ew with shrimp—it was delicious! The veggie rolls were also good. However, the chicken and broccoli with rice was a bit underwhelming; it could have used more seasoning. Overall, though, everything was quite good.

Initially, I was a bit disappointed with the portion size considering the price, but once I started eating, I found that the flavor was really robust, and I ended up feeling quite full. I'd rate the spiciness at a solid 8. (I have a high tolerance for spicy food.) It didn't make my nose run or cause my lips to burn, but it definitely has a surprising kick to it. I plan to try the Thai-level spiciness next time. If I had to compare this spice level to another place, I'd say it's similar to the level 4 or 5 spiciness at Orochon Ramen downtown. I'm hopeful that this restaurant stays in town for a while and maintains its current spice profile. I've visited too many places in the South Bay that started with a solid spicy option but diluted it over time to cater to the local palate, whether it's Thai or Indian. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
