Tasty like salt and pepper chicken, juicy meat. With white rice. Beef pad garlic over rice had small thinly sliced beef pieces in a dark sauce, with garlic bits good flavor. Salty fried rice had really salty pieces of fish. So salty even with the rice. Menu description for Beef soup said beef tendon so we picked it. Even confirmed with the waitress that it had tendon. There was none, only small thin slices of beef (same as in the pad garlic) and were not very tender; plus fishballs and bean sprouts. With a dark broth, not a rich broth flavor, but bec it had strong taste of soy sauce. Reminded me of sauteed sprouts in garlic and soy sauce, not for a soup though. The restaurant is small. Some small tables for 2 but can be moved for 4 or more. Wooden stools with no seat back. No restroom. Street parking. Service is great.Update:We returned to try our usual go to thai dish crispy pork with chinese broccoli. We liked the thinly sliced, very crunchy pieces of pork. The squid salad was mildly spicy as I requested. I had each bite with a mint leaf. Again, good prices.

While the indoor seating is limited, it hasn’t been a problem for me. The food is fantastic; it’s exactly what I crave when I'm in the mood for Thai cuisine. Plus, it’s affordable, so you won’t overspend even if you order several dishes. The Thai tea and coffee are incredibly refreshing and delicious—I can never get enough of them. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!
