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.

Excerpts

What a great hidden gem! We came here for dinner because our party has dietary restrictions and this restaurant came recommended as celiac safe. They were so incredibly accommodating and we were so impressed! We were served by two servers and each were well spoken and knowledgeable about the menu components and the adjustments needed to be safe. They were able to offer all non-fried menu items without gluten, and most without soy or dairy. The food was delicious! The menu prices are a bit high but the portions are huge, one entree can easily be shared or used for more than one meal. It has a nice cozy feel and nice decor. We were thrilled that they were pretty busy and even had a wait so we know this place is popular and doing well! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We came here one day recently with some friends. We don't get Thai food very often, and we have this excellently reviewed Thai restaurant right here in our backyard. It was time. Ambiance was very nice, tranquil. Lot's of green space. We even got a picture taken against the front green wall sitting space. Very nice place. Service was very good. Every person we encountered was nice. The food came out very timely and was warm, fresh, and vibrant. No worries at all. As for the food itself, it was very good. I started off with the Tom Yum Goong (Shrimp in a house spicy lemongrass broth with onions, cilantro, and mushrooms). The broth was so light and herbal, with a nice lemongrass zing. Mushrooms were the main player in terms of bite and chew here, and they were delicious. Loved this soup. We also had the Thai Fish Cakes (Deep-fried fish patties with red curry paste, kaffir lime leaf, and thin sliced long green bean, house recipe spicy and sweet tangy dipping sauce). Amazing. Crisp exterior with a moist, curry-forward interior that was fishy, but not too fishy. Perfect for dipping in that balanced sauce. For my main, I had my favorite Thai dish, the Phad Se-Ew (Wide rice noodle stir-fried with broccoli, carrot, egg and black pepper in mild soy-garlic seasoning). These noodles are So good. They're wide and hold the sauce really well. They have a good chew to them. And they were inundated with nice, crunchy veggies. I added chicken, and I got a ton of it. Very good entree. I also got the chance to try the Lemongrass Signature Curry (Shrimp, squid, scallop in special-recipe, stir-fried curry with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, bell pepper, onion, carrot, and egg). The luscious curry, the perfectly cooked seafood, yes even the scallop, and the myriad veg made this dish a stunner. The only think I needed was more white rice on the side. For dessert, we got the Durian Ice Cream. Yes, you read that correctly. And while you could smell it, it wasn't smelly. All of the steps between the durian being grown in another country and becoming my ice cream in Oviedo had teased out the horrible smell and left only a slight funk and a very smooth, actually delightful little bowl of ice cream. Go out on a limb and try it. It'll be fine, I promise. Overall, this was a great little Thai spot. I'm glad I came, and I'm glad it's so close by to where I live.

Came here tonight for the first time. Food was fresh and delicious! Our server (Nick) was absolutely wonderful! So kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.
