As someone who grew up eating Thai food, I had high hopes for this place. They represent Thailand very well and even the servers and cooks are Thai! This place ended up being a disappointment. Ordered Pad Thai and Thom Yum. - Pad Thai noodles were too rough and didn’t hit the correct texture for me. The taste was alright. Looks amazing but tastes very mid. Nothing special and hit the bare minimum I guess. - Thom Yum on the other hand was the biggest disappointment. Expected a spicy sour taste and got a very sugary taste. Only a little sour after using the lime from the pad thai. It had broccoli and cabbage in the soup? Also the mushrooms were not cooked all the way so that was also a weird texture. Not very authentic thom yum, I assume it was more of their own twist on it. But the taste was awful. Thom yum doesn’t need to have sugar and shouldn’t taste sweet. - For the service , we were left alone most of the time and had to call the waitress over when needed. This was more of an authentic experience (like how restaurants function in Thailand) but it was hard to get our servers attention. She seemed busy doing togo orders which is fine. Just don’t forget to check on your table after a while! Really sad that the food was a disappointment. I will say maybe they have other foods that are better? Disappointing since pad thai and thom yum are THE Thai food staples.

Every time we visit Madison, we try to make a point to visit this place. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices reasonable, and staff are so friendly. If you like Thai food, this is a must stop. We had the lunch specials today and were very pleased.

This is a fantastic Thai restaurant on the east side of Madison. Their dishes are delectable, diverse and deliscious. Some of the best service I've encountered in quite a while, too. Food was prepared and presented quite well. Appetizers are good, too. If you are hankering for some solid Thai food, this is a place that should be on your list. The Pad Thai is a fave, here.
