Has all the dishes, drinks, and desserts one can expect for an American Thai venue. Service and food quality are good as expected. If you 're in the mood for good Thai, this is a place to try. I highly recommend their freshrolls appetizer.

I placed an order directly from their site which I like to do because it gives the restaurant more money compared to sites that take a cut like DoorDash or GrubHub. After we place the order, it said it would be ready in approximately 30 minutes. When we got to the restaurant to pick up 40 minutes after placing the order, they said that they didn't have the order. We showed them the receipt and they said OK and started taking notes on what we had ordered. After a few minutes, they came back and said oh the order just came in. It'll be about 30 minutes now. We came back after 30 minutes and they said oh another 15 minutes. We came back in 15 minutes and they said almost ready. An hour after they took our order, which was an hour and a half, after we had actually ordered it online, it was ready. They didn't apologize even once throughout all the checking back in. I'm a pretty understanding person, and I would understand if they were slammed on a Saturday night, however, there were two parties which was a total of four people inside there. The people that got there when I was trying to get them to find my order ordered, got their food, and left before my takeout was ready. I only ordered 4 things. It's pretty crazy to wait an hour and a half for a take-out order. It's even crazier for them to not explain or apologize for why this would happen. I guess that's just how their service is normallysince they didn't seem apologetic. We definitely won't be back no matter how good the food is. There's not really any take out that should take an hour and a half, especially when they told you half an hour. 0/10 just based on the service.

The Roast Duck Curry stood out with its delicious flavor, complemented perfectly by the sweetness of pineapple. The Drunken Noodles featuring beef, shrimp, and calamari were also excellent, though the calamari pieces were small and few. The level of spiciness was exactly as we requested.
