I love their orange chicken with fried rice and the Pad See Ew. These are both of my go to favorites. I also really enjoy theSpicy Catfish if it's available. The food is delicious and well presented. Most of the dishes are cooked and prepared veryquickly. I was impressed with the freshness of their ingredients! I liked how much food you get as well. It seems to be worthwhat you pay for. One critique I do have is regarding their spiciness levels. They vary drastically day to day and with who iscooking. The scale is from 1-5 with 5 being the most spicy. The Pad See Ew I like to order can vary drastically with eachother. No matter if I get a 1 or a 2 it can be very spicy for me. Meanwhile my girlfriend described her red curry as not quitebeing spicy enough for her at a 4 but some days it's spicy enough at a 4. The orange chicken also varies drastically! I usuallyget a 1 because of the variety in spice levels but sometimes there isn't any spice in the dish at all! Other times I'll bump itup to a 2 and the spice levels are ridiculous so bad I would call it a 4 on the scale. Most of the time the spice levels aren'tso bad you can eat it. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and have offered to take the food back if spicy levelsaren't to your liking. I would have liked for them to be a little more vocal about the spicy levels tho. Sometimes they don'teven ask and I have no idea what that means for what comes out of the kitchen.

Didn?t have high expectations due to small town but surprisingly all the food we ordered were delicious!! Definitely will come back again when we pass through this town! Onedownside was the appetizers. Small portion and although it tasted fine, we could care less about it. We?ll probably skip it nexttime and order more entrees.

Good rating for the two Tonkotsu Ramen especially the one with pork belly. Saw the special menu on the board. Will return to orderdinner takeout. Came back to order takeout for dinner. Tried the spicy catfish and the deep fried crunchy prawns withgarlic-pepper. Both dishes were excellent. The catfish was in boneless slices and the seasonings were hot and spicy with red andgreen bell peppers and basil. The prawns were large and butterflied and came with a spicy basil sauce. Could be better if deepfried more, to be truly crunchy. Excellent overall. Served with rice.

However, my husband and I did not love our food. I got the Pad Thai and it barely had any sauce on it and the flavor was dull.My husband got the Ramen and said it was just okay. It is possible that we went on an off night or that we didn't make the bestchoice when it came to our food.

Despite our initial low expectations because of the small town, we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious all of the dishes we ordered were! We will definitely be returning when we pass through this town again. The only drawback was the appetizers, which had small portions and although they tasted fine, we weren't very impressed. Next time, we'll likely skip the appetizers and order more entrees instead.
