I would give this place 10 stars if I could! We stopped in here for lunch while in town for the Mayo Clinic and am so glad that we did. The cocktails and food were all outstanding (especially the Lemongrass Chicken & Khao Soi) and the ambiance + service were equally great. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had, hands down.

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.

My husband and I came here for lunch and were seated right away without a reservation. Food came out quickly and overall was good. The Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve had—sweet, tangy, and very well balanced. We also ordered the papaya salad and asked for very hot; while it wasn’t as spicy as we usually like, the flavors were excellent with a nice balance of sweet, sour, and fishy. The basil stir fry was just okay. Service was fine, but we were seated near the register and staff were standing around chatting the whole time, which was a bit annoying. Overall, we would give this place a second try.

My husband and I had Massaman Curry and Khao Soi Curry. Both mild and with Brisket added. The brisket was perfectly tender too. Rice on the side of the Massaman dish. These are perfect cold weather comfort foods even for those who don’t do spice!
