The waitress was attentive and friendly, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the food was quite bland. I ordered the Spicy Basil, which came with a side of rice. It tasted similar to a typical stir-fry from a fast-food Chinese place, but it was very lightly seasoned. It was decent, but not remarkable, especially for $18, depending on the meat choice. I expected the portions to be a bit larger. My friend ordered the Jungle Curry, and it was very plain with little curry flavor; it seemed like there might have been too much coconut milk or water. That dish was also $18. A couple of other friends tried the pad kra pao and steamed chicken, which they enjoyed, so it seems like some dishes are better received than others. The menu is extensive, with many items sounding appealing, though it would have been helpful to have more photos to visualize the dishes. Overall, the experience was just average.

Great food. Great prices. Great staff. Ive never dined here or eaten the food. I'm a delivery driver and pick up from this location a lot. I am excited to one day be able to take time to dine in and taste the food for my Self. I've heard great things. Plus the smells from the food I deliver are tantalizing, y'all. LolFood: 5/5
