With the exception of one other Thai restaurant this is the best Thai food we have had outside of Thailand.Pad See Ew and Spicy Basil. Flavorful, absolutely wonderful. Could hardly stop stuffing our mouths. The Summer Roll was spectacular. Huge, fresh, with a little cooked egg in it. Two sauces, peanut and sweet and sour. Can't say enough. Highly recommend!!!

Our family enjoyed a delicious lunch, even the picky granddaughter loved her spicy noodles meal. The dishes are prepared with fresh vegetables and meats, and the sauces are flavorful. You can customize the spiciness of your meal from mild to wild. As we finished our lunches, we all said we couldn't wait to come back again.

I stopped in for a later evening light supper after a few hours of driving because this was near my hotel. The Spring Rolls were not fresh (wrappers were gummy and chewy and split open down the length of the roll when they sliced them in half, so all the fillings fell out when I tried to eat them); the three sauces for the rolls were a nice touch, but the peanut sauce was warm and gelatinous ... ick. The Mango with Sticky Rice was good. Mango slices were very thick (I prefer thinner because it's easier to eat) and the rice was an odd blue/green color, but it was perfectly warm and sweet.
