Very disappointing experience. I ordered the Bangkok shrimp and it was extremely dry—basically just popcorn shrimp with barely any sauce. When I politely asked for a little extra sauce, I was told I would be charged extra, and the staff was quite rude about it. The Tom Kha soup was even worse. As soon as it arrived, it had a strong fishy smell and lacked any noticeable coconut milk, which is essential for Tom Kha. I tried a small taste and couldn’t eat it—it was nauseating and nothing like authentic Tom Kha soup. Between the poor food quality and the rude response from staff, this was not a good dining experience. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it based on this visit.

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.

They have a soda fountain. I assume because my soda came in a glass. I was able to get Coca-Cola. I got some soup and some Curry and I asked for it to be hot and I could actually tell that it was hot. Almost made me happy. The food quality was really nice. Everything was fresh and tasty The spring rolls cane with a sweet sauce that was very nicely done, I wish that was true every place I went. This place is well worth it, check it out. The food is fabulous! And clearly this place is very popular and I came in. It was very quiet but as soon as you fill it up people are talking very nice.
