Ive been looking for a good Thai place in the area and I decided to do delivery from this location. I was SOO excited to find Crab Rangoon with sweet and sour sauce but this was the spiciest I?ve ever tasted in my life. I couldn?t eat all of it whichmade me really sad. The chicken Pad Thai was good. Even distribution of chicken and eggs. Very well flavored. I just had topause dinner because the Crab Rangoon was so spicy I couldn?t taste anything for a while.

They take a break around 4-5pm so avoid showing up at that time. Either go early or later. Been coming here for over 5 years and it's still one of my favorite Thai places. You can change the spice level on most dishes. I always go with mild. Thai icedtea 10/10 Pad kee mau 8/10 Khao soi 8/10 PECK GAI MAK KHAMIN TORD 8/10
