The menu is pretty extensive; however, we only order vegetarian dishes. Consensus so far is that the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) is quite good - not our favorite but close. The nicely decorated restaurant with a modern feel accomodates a fair amount of customers and is often busy but not overcrowded. Wait staff is cordial and courteous. Meals do not include any extras. There is no special price for lunches which makes dining there a bit expensive for lunch. The pad kee mao is $10.99 - a bit pricey for a vegetarian lunch dish. Overall, food is tasty but overpriced.

This restaurant is located in a strip mall. Don't let that turn you off. It was the best Thai food I have eaten in years.

I was there last Friday for lunch. The restaurant is very nicely decorated; it looks more like a coffee shop. We tried their lunch special: the bbq pork ribs (comes with two ribs) and the beef sate (comes with four skewers). The pork ribs was amazing: fall off bone tender and very good flavor. The beef sate was okay; it was dry and was more like jerky then the typical sate that you would expect, with a very water peanut sauce. My husband and I only spent $25 (tips included) for lunch without drinks. Both the ribs and the sate comes with fried rice, which was only okay (my husband loves it though). If I come back I will just get white rice. Overall, this place offer really good value and food is good. I will definitely go back to this place for their pork ribs and explore other things on their menu.

We went for the lunch special that came with egg rolls (for vegetarians), otherwise a shrimp appetizer was included. Because we usually order a vegetarian version of pad kee mao, we did that here, too. The portion was fairly generous for lunch - certainly enough to need a take-out box. The egg rolls were pretty good - probably not home-made, though. The pad kee mao was tasty; we decided that we would enjoy it again sometime. The restaurant is not too large and has a bright atmosphere - very comfortable. Two different people waited on us and both were very cordial and accommodating. A good variety is offered for the lunch specials which are $7.50 or $7.99. We'll be back here again.

Great place for those interested in supporting small family owned businesses. The overall ambiance feels like a local family vibe. Nice! My wife & I decided to give this place a shot due to Yelp's high reviews, we all know that does not always translate to greatness...in this case the high reviews are accurate. Chicken Pad Thai: It had a different spin albeit it was good! Chicken was tender & overall the dish had a great flavor profile. Their portion sizes are very generous. Chicken Fried Rice: Plain & simple, it was good! Bangkok Salad:My wife's favorite dish as she really enjoyed the spicy vs. the citrus tang in their dressing. Pretty decent amount of beef, moreover the beef was tender, the salad was a standout! *NoteThis place is no frill or thrills, it's straight to the point a place that one goes to squash a craving for GOOD Thai! Recommend! ENJOY
