With no other options in sight and my own indecisiveness, we decided to give it a try. We visited on a Monday, when they were offering a special of Chicken/Veggie Pad Thai for $10, which was a decent deal. The service was fast, but unfortunately, that was the only highlight of our experience. The Pad Thai sauce was watery and failed to achieve the perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour flavors typical of Thai cuisine. It lacked depth of flavor and had a strange hint of butter. The only saving grace was their homemade hot sauce, which added some much-needed heat and flavor. In conclusion, if you're looking for inexpensive, quick, and inauthentic Thai food, this place might suffice. However, if you're seeking a more authentic and flavorful Thai dining experience, there are better options down the street.

I had been there before with friends and had a great experience. I've tried the green curry both times and it never disappoints. I appreciate that they offer a homemade hot sauce, as I find the base spice level not quite hot enough for my taste (although my dad found it quite spicy).
