This is the most delicious pumpkin curry I’ve ever had. I’m not a vegetarian, but I do love tofu, and theirs was fried to perfection before being stewed with the rest of the pumpkin curry. YUM YUM. They also serve their curry with the most delightful purple rice! Fragrant and nutty. Service was not great. My food came out 20 minutes before my three companions received their meals. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive otherwise— it was probably just a kitchen/online ordering/prioritization issue. Restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and very clean!

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.

Ordered the pumpkin curry to go and WOW it was bomb!! 😍❤️🤤 So rich and creamy, perfectly spicy. I wish I had remembered to ask for the Thai chili pepper to sprinkle on top. I can’t wait to try other things on their menu. Love this place and so glad my bff found it!! ❤️ Also, service was super friendly and the inside was cute, cozy and quaint. ❤️🥰 Update: Went a second time and tried the Mango curry and was very disappointed. The chicken didn’t taste like chicken and there wasn’t much in it. I ordered shrimp and paid extra so it would have more protein and the shrimp tasted strange also. The green curry was still good. The mango chunks were hard and resembled the hard center parts of a pineapple. Bummer. I threw it away and will probably only stick to the pumpkin curry at this place - which sounds like what they’re known for anyways. The girl up front is always very friendly even while juggling customer walk ins, pepping to go orders and answering the phone - she always smiles and is very personable. ❤️

By far the best Thai food I have had in Utah. We have gotten taken out here 3 times in the past few weeks, it's seriously that good. I want to try other items on the menu, but the Pumpkin, Panang, and Pineapple curry is just that amazing! Full of flavors, stuffed with fresh ingredients, in large portions. Plus, you can customize the spiciness, and I recommend getting it spicy! Even the rice they serve has that extra level of care, super flagrant even on its own. Such a gem, I seriously recommend you try it.
