I called in an order for a pad thai with tofu and a cup of wonton soup and they said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I showed up about 13 minutes later expecting to wait a couple minutes but they barely started making my food after I paid. I had asked for the cup of soup and they charged me for the bowl of soup. I also had to wait another 15 minutes for my food. The pad thai didn’t have much flavor, had burnt pieces of noodle/tofu, and was missing the peanuts and bean sprouts. The wonton soup was extremely sweet even after I added a good amount of soy sauce to try and fix it. Overall, really disappointed and regret wasting $24 here. Definitely will not return.

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.

I absolutely love this place! The owners are so kind and welcoming. The food is delicious, fresh, and very clean. The atmosphere is wonderful—definitely a 10/10! P.S. The new owners make it even better!

This locally owned place has been here for a long time. It's good great food and it's persistence for as long it's been in town in the same spot shows it's worth.
