Me and my friend decided to try a new place to eat out in Olympia. Thought this would be a good place. Should have listened to other recent reviews. I got the sweet and sour chicken and my friend got the pad Thai. Neither were good. The chicken tasted off and both meals had a vinegar flavor. We told the waitress we didn’t like the food and she left to talk to the manager. We were not offered another option for food or some kind of discount. She just said, “I’ve never heard of this before, there’s nothing we can do, you still have to pay.” Me and my friend were pretty nice about it, and apologized for not liking it. We both agreed to pay, so $40 out and still hungry. I would not recommend.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excellent food, lovely, professional and hard working owners. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive but it was a busy rainy night. There were a lot of take out orders. It was absolutely 100% worth the wait! I enjoyed the best Tom Kah I have ever had. I look forward to visiting Olympia again and having another fine meal there. Thank you chef! You did a great job delivering top quality food under all of that pressure. I'll be back!

Unfortunately, after many 4 and 5 star meals, I regret to say that I will likely never eat here again. My wife’s swimming rama with chicken was basically a quart container of spinach with a handful of small pieces of chicken on the top 1 inch of space. My green curry was noticeably blue, which I’m hoping desperately was created with blue spirulina and not blue dye or artificial food coloring. I’m guessing maybe they only had yellow curry paste and wanted to add some blue to make it look green and assumed I wouldn’t know the difference? For $40 these were two of the most disappointing entrées I’ve ever had a Thai restaurant. Again, super unfortunate as we love this place and it’s closer to our house than any other.
