I've been looking around Lafayette for some genuinely spicy food for quite a while. When I cracked the lid I could tell by the aroma that I was finally in luck. The pad kee mao was full of delicious fresh and chewy noodles, a sweet/savory sauce, and an abundance of spice. The tom yum had a piquant, tangy broth (of which they gave me extra in another container) and was packed with tomatoes and mushrooms. The vibrant orange iced tea was milky and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I was impatient and drank mine on the drive home, but it would have been a perfect drink to cut the heat. I'm so happy to have found this place! It's a bit out of the way for me, but I'd gladly drive twice the distance for this food.

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.

Just a small take out place. We ordered online and picked up. Owners were very polite. The food was great. We ordered food for 5 of us and tried different things off the menu. We were full and still had leftovers. I love that they have different levels of spiciness! From no spice to Thai hot! The crab rangoon was sooo good!!

There aren't a huge number of places in this town to grab Thai food, but this little family owned restaurant is a good choice if you're looking for something cheap to go. Prices aren't bad, and they freshly cook up anything you order. One thing I wish they offered were higher spice levels. I've ordered "Thai Hot" here and it was good, but not nearly the sop-up-my-sweat level that I get at places like Basil Thai across town.
