Whether you’re driving along Route 101 or lucky enough to be in Coos Bay, if you're craving some good Thai food, this place is a must-visit. We tried the pineapple fried rice, Thai chicken basil, fried tofu, and guichai (crispy garlic chive), and every bite was spot on. The flavors were authentic, and everything tasted so fresh—we only wish we had room to try more. The prices are super reasonable, especially for how good the food is, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. It’s family-owned, and you can tell they care about both their food and their customers. The food service is very fast, but keep in mind that the kitchen team is small and family-operated, so if the dining room is full, there might be a bit of a wait, but absolutely worth it because they put so much care into every dish. Also, a note on the spice levels: if you’re not used to authentic Thai heat, be careful! Medium spicy is already pretty spicy for most people, and ordering the highest level is really only for those who know they can handle serious spice (probably Thai-level spicy). Don’t overestimate your tolerance, or you might end up wasting some really great food. We’ll definitely be back to try more, and we highly recommend sticking around to enjoy everything this place has to offer!

Listen. The food is amazing. Absolutely smash clang and banger. Really superb stuff if you are in the area it's 100% worth the try. The reason I give this establishment 2 stars is because the portions have become utterly and completely tiny. My personal favourites are the Pad Thai and the Larb Salad. Supremely delishes dishes. The quality has only gone up in recent years. However portion sizes have significantly gone down. It takes 2 full dishes to even get close to full now. And with menu prices at over $16 a dish it's sad to see such small portions. I mean seriously. Ez Thai. You are not a 3 Michelin star restaurant. You are a local hub of good food. Please do not ruin that by cutting size and increasing costs. I don't know all of the logistics, but I do know I get quality food at a way more affordable price, and more bang for my buck. That will be my choice from now on. I'd rather learn to make these dishes at home then spend this kind of nonexistent penny for the size. Do better please Chef.

Really tasty on a rainy day. We were in control on the heat level.
