This place is so good I’m in love with their khao soi. I come here with friends and tried a bit of everyone else’s stuff (pad see ew, pad thai, pandan curry, tom yum, etc) and everything is incredible. This place is such a hidden gem with incredible staff. They are on the spicier side, which I personally love but just a heads up to everyone, even a 6 is pretty spicy 😮💨 I love this place so much, glad I decided to check it out on a whim 🫶 you don’t need to focus on decorations when your food is this good 🔥 if you don’t know what to order I recommend their Khao Soi!! But honestly everything is so tasty you won’t find anything bad here.

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.

Great food and a wonderful service. Be careful what spice level your order because it's pretty spicy. Some very nice lunch specials! The only downside is they don't have beer to go with my spicy Thai.

This restaurant has great reviews on Yelp and Google, and it’s clearly popular—my husband said it was packed when he picked up our order. We tried the Tom Yum Soup, Coconut Curry Chicken, and Green Papaya Salad. All three were good, but the standout was the Nyonya Coconut Curry Chicken—slightly sweet, mildly spicy, and perfect over rice. The Tom Yum Soup had large shrimp and a rich, flavorful broth (a bit too rich for me). The Green Papaya Salad was fresh with a nice mix of ingredients, though it could use a bit more fish sauce.
