The owner came out to present the menu, informing us that they did not have a liquor license, but we were welcome to bring our own drinks. One member of our group went to get some wine. We started with pot stickers and egg rolls, both of which were very good. For our main courses, we ordered Thai fried rice, orange chicken, and broccoli beef. I wouldn’t recommend the beef, but the orange chicken was fantastic. The fried rice was average, with not much chicken and limited vegetables. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and would consider coming back or getting takeout in the future.

The food was excellent and definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend this place—it's a must-visit!

The food is freshly made by Choun herself while you wait. We have gone several times over the years and never disappointed with the Thai food selection. Like all places right now, they are short on staff-go early or expect dinner to take some time to make and deliver to your table by Choun herself! She cares about her food quality and especially cares about her customers-thanks Choun! If you go to the downtown Wheaton Market, stop by the food truck and get her delicious potstickers!

I previously rated it four stars due to their excellent gluten-free options, but I've since realized they need to remove the gluten-free label from their menu. I trusted their assurances, but unfortunately, I became violently ill after eating there. While the food is truly exceptional, I strongly advise anyone with celiac disease to avoid this place. I'm sharing my experience to help others avoid a similar situation. The server confirmed my meal was gluten-free, and I really wish I could get my money back! I rarely write negative reviews, but unless you've experienced the severe repercussions of gluten exposure, it's hard to understand how debilitating it can be. Please remove "gluten-free" from your menu!

It also means this is a sit down restaurant and if you don't want to wait, order take out instead. Either way you'll get a fantastic meal and friendly service.
