My wife and I didn't like it, however, because we came to the restaurant with idea of EATING DINNER TOGETHER, not one after another. Needless to say, we will not be back.

We were pleasantly surprised that it was very authentic and had multiple types of Asian Food. All were amazing, but the service was slow. We went in when Google said it was opening and it was half staffed which made me think it was incorrect. Then ordering food was tough, because I think the lady was mad we were still there. Either way the food was great but the lady in the front was what made it just OK. Slow service, great food.

I am living in Thailand, so I am very familiar with Thai food. But this restaurant disappointed us 'big time '. Very blatant, not spicy and not resembling Thai food at all. Choice was also very, very limited. I would not recommend this restaurant if you are keen on Thai food. However, I cannot comment on the rest of the menu.
