Everything was delicious, will definitely be back.

This is a nice touch, especially compared to my first visit about two years ago when my water glass was constantly empty. I also ordered a Thai iced tea, which I’m not sure is actually from Thailand, but I always enjoy it. It was pleasantly satisfying and not overly sweet. When I noticed crispy catfish salad on the menu, I knew I had to try it. I’ve had it at Sripraphai a few times and loved it, so I was hoping it would be just as good, if not better, here. The woman who took our order, who I believe is one of the owners, was very sweet.

The Tom Yum soup also gets an 8/10 for its flavorful taste without too much spice. The papaya salad is rated 7/10, and the Thai ice cream deserves a 7/10 as well—it's milky but still enjoyable. Lastly, the Thai iced tea also receives a 7/10 for its sweet, milky flavor.

The decor is pleasant, featuring a few interior tables, but there was no restroom for customers, which was a disappointing aspect for us. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we decided to share the Roti, Kati Curry, a large Tom Yum Soup, and Larb Fried Chicken between the two of us. The portions were generous, and we couldn’t finish everything at a reasonable price. The food was also incredibly tasty, especially the Larb Fried Chicken; the chicken was tender and perfectly roasted.
