It's astonishing that they haven't closed down, considering the quality of the food and service. The food is terrible, the service is lacking, and the restaurant—which once had a nice decor—now looks like a rundown place. It feels like a real disservice to both the cuisine and the culture of Thailand. I wouldn’t dine here again, even if it were free.

I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and coconut water, and everything was bursting with flavor. They generously included plenty of vegetables and shrimp, so they certainly didn't skimp on ingredients. Although my order took a bit longer to arrive due to rush hour traffic, the food was still hot and fresh when it got to me! I also appreciated that they let you choose your spice level and actually stick to it. I opted for medium spice, which had a nice kick without overwhelming the dish. I'm actually looking forward to their opening today to try something new. Their lunch specials are very budget-friendly as well. Don't be swayed by the ratings on Google, as it appears a disgruntled delivery driver has been spamming their reviews. Based on my experience with one meal, I can confidently say that the chefs in that kitchen know exactly what they’re doing!

We opted for the Curry Puffs (one of our go-to's) and the Chicken Satay. The curry puffs are light and extremely flavorful, and the chicken satay grilled to perfection! Both come with interesting dipping sauces, including a peanut sauce for the satay. The lunch specials are $9+ and come with soup, salad, or soda. Add $3 for specialty proteins like beef, shrimp, squid, etc. We got the Basil Fried Rice with chicken and Drunken Noodle with shrimp. My mom opted for the soda, and I got the soup (they couldve kept it). I also HAD to have a Thai Iced Tea, which was amazing! Everything was extremely fresh and well seasoned. Stay away from these dishes if you can't take spicy foods! It gives a heat that can clear your sinuses, but I LOVE spice, so it was great for me (my mother sniffled through her meal)! I also grabbed a Mango Sticky Rice to-go, and I should've eaten one there and took another for the road! Everything was about $50, and we were sooo full when we left and had enough to share with my son and for myself to have seconds for dinner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I actually spent a birthday here over 10 years ago, and the food is still A1.

They kept filling our water glasses every few minutes for some unknown reason. When it came time to pay the bill, the waitress and the owner approached us and pressured us to leave a larger tip, insisting it was "required."

Came in to pick up an order and the owner refused to let me use the bathroom even though there was nothing wrong with it. He said that delivery drivers are always pissing on the floor and doesnt want to clean up after them. Left the store feeling very humilated. Would not go back there.
