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

The atmosphere here was calm and peaceful as the restaurant was almost empty at the time. Our initial server was welcoming and kindly took our orders, then apparently left work suddenly, leaving our new servers seemingly confused. This led to much delay in some of our dishes coming out to our table. However, the two other servers who waited our tables were gracious and attentive. The tofu appetizer was nicely fried but fell flat on taste as it had no seasoning. The veggie spring rolls appetizer was okay but a bit salty. The soft shell crab entree's breading was thick and overwhelming with little crab meat; however, the rest of this dish was good. The seafood fried rice entree had a decent amount of seafood, but the rice was soft, and the dish as a whole was too greasy. The red Thai curry entree was very delicious. If I return, it would be for this dish.

came in for a quick lunch and accidentally stayed for three hours thanks to scotty the bartender, who looked me dead in the eyes and said “trust me” before handing me a drink i still cannot identify but would absolutely order again — the pad thai alone should be illegal, i asked for medium spice and the waiter gave me a look like he was watching me sign my own death warrant, and he was RIGHT, my nose ran for forty minutes but scotty slid me another mystery drink and suddenly everything was fine, the peanut sauce healed me spiritually, the mango sticky rice made me forget every bad thing that has ever happened to me, and scotty waved goodbye like a proud father watching his kid leave for college. 10/10 will be back friday specifically to see scotty
