This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen.

This is a solid 3.5 but I’d be happy to round up. It’s has good food and the staff is helpful. Well kept and a place i will regularly frequent. Give it a chance.

Food was great. Reasonably priced. Was more than I could eat. Very clean and quiet atmosphere. Many of the locals were picking up take out orders. One of the best Thi restrants i have had since i came back from Thiland. I will be back. Thanks for a great meal.

I’ve dined at over 200 Thai restaurants across the country, and I’d rate this a solid 8/10 for the food quality. I ordered the Spicy Basil with ground chicken at one level below "Thai Spicy." The flavors were perfectly balanced; for reference, if you find Sriracha to be a 3/10, this spice level will be perfect for you. My wife enjoyed the mixed veggies with chicken, and we appreciated that they could prepare it gluten-free (though it was surprising that the Pad Thai isn't listed as GF). The Thai iced tea was excellent, and the 6-table dining area is bright and cheerfully decorated. A few areas for improvement: 1. When you first walk in, there is a noticeable odor (reminiscent of cleaner/sewage). It may have been a one-time issue, but it was noticeable. 2. Now we have ordered plenty of Thai food, but I was surprised by the upcharges: $2.00 extra for the gluten-free sauce and a $1.00 charge for each serving of plain white rice. I get it if it was a fancy restaurant, but it’s hard to justify charging for simple white rice. Just my humble opinion as an Asianβ€”I'm not a big fan when restaurants do that. Overall, we had a good experience minus the smell and the upcharges. I would reco

I used to order the pho from here almost every week. Then they changed the meatballs, which did keep me from it. But I ate other things while dining in. I did a pick up order to try it again, and now there's no beef slices in the pho. It always came with beef slices, even in their online menu photo and other diners review photos. 3/5 star because my weekly treat has changed. But literally all their other food is really good. So I still I'll patronize them.

Weekday outing. Smaller place but nice. Plenty of parking. Service was good, one server but effective. Food was really good, had the chicken pad Thai and girlfriend had a pho noodle meat soup on which enjoyed tremendously. It came out temperature hot and with good heat and spice. We will be coming back!!!

I do not have a single bad word to say about this restaurant. I found them by chance on doordash and have ordered from them to the hospital I work at every single week for over a month now. The food comes piping hot and fresh every time. It is so delicious and helps me get through a long nursing shift in the ICU. I've never left a review before but this place absolutely deserves it. So impressive. I get the ground basil chicken and a different appetizer every time I order. So much flavor packed into everything they prepare.

Everything we ate was spectacular! You must try the shrimp in a blanket. The pho, ramen, Chinese fried rice, egg rolls, pot stickers, and teriyaki chicken were also pretty amazing. This place is small and there was only person working, but were very well attended.

UPDATE: No dine in options for a while now, but their food never disappoints! Authentic, fresh, made to exact specifications as one request-highly recommend this place! Great customer service and fresh, tasty food made to just the right level of spicy! Ordered Red Curry and Kee Mao noodles with Chicken (see photos) - good quantity of both for 2 people.
