Worst Thai food around. This place used to be a gem a few years ago but unfortunately the food and service was horrible the last two recent times I was there.

The Penang curry is delicious, and I've had it with both beef and shrimp. The Penang salmon is also fantastic, along with several appetizers like the bikini shrimp, vegetable spring rolls, and chicken satay. The prices are fair considering the quality of the food and the ambiance. The staff is consistently friendly. I would definitely return.

Went for lunch on Easter and it was empty. We loved it. Food was hot and flavorful. Customers began to trickle in as we were finishing and saw a lot of take out orders, so they seem to do well. The drunken noodles were a bit dry but the spicy beef was flavorful and tender. The panang curry was my favorite-great coconut and strong peanut notes made it go well mixed with rice. I wish they had more sauce, but the chicken was plenty. I also recommend the crispy duck (spicy) and chicken (mild). If you get everything at the same spice level, there's hardly a difference in flavors of dishes

The Thai food here was quite disappointing. This Kapow Chicken doesn't resemble what I expected; it seemed more like Chinese Orange Chicken to me. It's fortunate that most Americans aren't familiar with authentic Thai cuisine.

The staff here was very friendly and took my order very quickly. I got my water as soon as I sat down at the bar. I liked that they have plexiglass between patrons at the bar.I ordered the seafood pad Thai. The noodles and sauce I thought were delicious. The scallops and shrimp had an odd taste to them. I thought it was good either way. I will definitely go back as there were a few other things on the menu I still want to try.
