"I love it here. We start with the crispy egg rolls, so yummy! A must take your family/friends from out of town place! I had the Silom mojito and it was perfect!"
"Why 5 stars? Because despite being the spiciest food I've eaten in a long time, it was delicious. --- --- ---The website warned us. The server warned us. Fellow Yelpers warned us.The food here is much spicier than a normal Thai restaurant. Their mild is like medium at other places. And I am a total wuss when it comes to spicy food. This is not by choice - I just can't handle it, unfortunately.But before we reached the main courses, we tried a couple of appetizers, and they were not spicy. They were just amazing. Garlic Chive Pancakes: These are not visually appealing. But they are a party in your mouth, and that's what's important. Slightly crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and full of unique/delicious flavor. Do not come to this establishment without ordering these.Pork Sticks: My brother wanted to order these and I'm glad he did. These were beef jerky sized bites of pork, with a perfect dipping sauce that accompanied. Another home run.We both ordered drunken noodles and then shared some green curry. I don't recall the last time I ate anything as spicy as these dishes. And I ordered the mild drunken noodles. Flavorful? Check. Delicious? Check. Perfectly prepared? Check.But my God, my physical body is just not meant to ingest anything remotely close to that level of spice. At first, I felt like the drunken noodles were the spicier dish, while the green curry was cooling me off. Then it reversed. I ended up finishing the noodles, but just couldn't handle one more speck of heat in the curry after we ate at least half of it. Our server was great - I am kicking myself for not getting her name. But she offered to bring me a big shot of half and half to help cool me off, and that worked wonders. I also had two Thai Teas, but the half and half by itself was a lot more helpful. We finished with Mango Sticky Rice, and this was the only thing I would give less than 5-stars. It was just okay, but again, very needed for mouth cooling purposes. I'd come again for the appetizers, but might have to stick to Pad Thai or something else with zero spice."
Drunken noodles stir fried rice noodle ,dish very similar to phat si-io, but with a slightly different flavor more spicy.In Thai khi mao means drunkard

Visit Restaurant Page"A hop skip and a jump from the Woodlands Mall, it's easy to relax into this peacefully decorated spot. It's more than the relaxing soundtrack, and quiet patrons, it's moreso the spaciousness, inviting service, stress free parking (bonus of a suburban restaurant), and the prospect of authentic cuisine in the area that's not categorized as "American" or "Modern American" (ie every popular Woodlands restaurant).On our visit, I was unfortunately distracted from my zen bubble as soon as our food arrived. Although the food was presented beautifully, myself and my guest immediately noticed the tables (ours included) sat too far away from the booth seats for comfort. I get it- usually this is a minor thing, but the distance was pretty drastic, so much so that it made eating a chore. I'm not sure if this is every diners experience (being that I'm 4'11" with the arm span of someone my stature), but is imagine it effects a majority of diners, and while I love a good workout, it's not exactly my idea of a relaxing meal.Other than that, the meal was fine, the curry was comforting, but I'm still in search of a Thai Food joint that will knock my socks off. All is forgiven with amazing food! As always, I plan to give them another try in the future. I'll select a different dish and maybe a table instead of a booth. :)"
"The people that work here are very nice and the food is great! Small family owned restaurant serving up great food! Food: I had the Thai basil chicken which was good. However it was dark meat. Would much rather prefer white meat for this dish. Great flavor the. The side of broth is really good! I also got a spicy beef dish that came with the broth. I can't remember the name but I was amazing! I will definitely come back and try more stuff off their menu. The customer service is great! Top notch. Everyone that works here is great. I'll definitely come back soon!"
"This cute, quiet spot is really bomb af! The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. I actually stopped here twice in the same week. The first time I visited was for lunch. You get an egg roll, choice of soup and an entree. In total, I spent $14 and that includes a drink. The second visit was a few days later. I'm a creature of habit & I already knew it would be good so I ordered the Panang curry again. I also ordered 2 ordered of egg roll (you cannot go wrong) and my friend ordered a beef & noodle dish (I was focused on my own food so I didn't get the name, but I was told it was delicious too). The service is impeccable as well. The staff (really just the older guy) is amazing and sweet. From what I've experienced, most people order their food to go, but the inside is super clean and the service is top notch."
"Came here for the first time today! I ordered two dishes; one pad tse you and basal fried rice. They were very authentic and delicious to my tongue I'm vegetarian so I ordered everything in plant based and the staff lady told me they can make anything in vegetarian! What a flexible skill! Love it!If I come by this area again then I will come visit!Keep up the good work!Cheers"
"Food is ok, concept is jacked up. I placed my order at the kiosk cause I wanted to see all the options of the other vendors since it was my first time going. The employees are nice but they don't explain things well and so the whole process of getting your food and ordering is vague if it's your first time. I wanted to use a 20% yelp checkin code for first timers but there was nothing to type in. It took about 20 min for my food to come out. It was good, but I've had better. I will say the sauces were tasty so I poured that all over my chicken. Don't think I'll make the drive back out here for the food."
"For my money, top Chinese food in my area. Healthy option seafood and chicken with brown rice, your welcome. Flavor, and it's a way to fit your Chinese fix in with your diet!"
"Why 5 stars? Because I've finally found the ideal green curry. --- --- ---When I lived in Tampa, I used to visit a place that had the best green curry I've ever had. It unfortunately closed many years ago and I've never been able to find another place where the green curry lived up to good ol'e Thai Thani (RIP). I'm so happy to say that I think Thai Wok In is the first time I have finally put an end to the search.I am far from an expert on being able to describe why the other curries were not as good as this curry. I simply slurp and react. And I reacted quite happily to this one. The only minor knock I have is that when we ordered online, we selected "no spice". I debated choosing "mild" because I don't like spicy food but I didn't want to take away from the flavor either. Well, I can definitely say that no spice still has a decent kick to it and that's what I'll be ordering again in the future. I'm a wuss when it comes to heat and my wife takes it to the extreme, so we're pretty spice adverse. Other than that, we really enjoyed the fried rice that my wife ordered as a side. Her main entree, Pad Thai, was a bit on the bland side, but still enjoyable. We finished with sticky rice and mango and it was a nice way to end the meal.We will definitely be back again since this isn't too far from us and we really enjoyed our first visit, despite the food being to-go."
"Pretty great Thai food! I ordered the spring rolls, Thai tea, pad see ew and pad kee Mao.Flavors were delicious. The "Thai spicy" option is actually very super extremely spicy! That's how you know it's legit :) The food was ordered to go and arrived well packaged! The only downside was the Thai tea was only filled about halfway, and had a lot of ice in it."
"Tunnel fast food so I don't expect too much. Came here for lunch with colleagues. I ordered the combo which comes with 2 sides and fried rice and a spring roll for $7.95. The price is awesome. The fried rice is a bit mushy but its ok. Had the yellow curry and was told it was mild but in fact it was quite spicy. Well guess its Houston! When they say mild it is very spicy to me. Also got the cashew chicken. It was good first two bites and after that it was meh. The spring roll was good. This is located in a food court so finding a seat can be challenging during busy lunch time. Overall its ok."
"Need a neighborhood Thai restaurant that doesn't break the bank, and has cocktails? This is it. Food quality is solid. Staff is very friendly. Apparently it's a popular place, so make a reservation!I came in for a mini date night, had a reservation, and got seated promptly upon arrival. The parking lot was tight... Luckily we got a spot!If you're looking for a Thai place with an uplifting, happy environment and a cheerful crowd, come over here. As mentioned in my pics I posted to Yelp, I tried the Thai Whiskey flight. Be careful! I can hold my alcohol. But I got lit after downing each of the four shots. (Remember, after each shot take a bite of a lime slice and a few pieces of Tamarind... Then move onto the next shot.)If you take a sip of each whiskey shot, it kinda has a Chinese medicine taste. When you shoot it, it's kinda enjoyable. Pretty crazy, huh?"

We showed up without a reservation so really appreciated hostess finding us seats at the bar!The mango sticky rice, pad sew ew and cold Thai tea are a must. The red curry is ultra spicy so proceed with caution, if you can tolerate the spice then the flavor is rich and yummy. The ambiance is sultry, dark, and loud! As mentioned in the other reviews - we often couldn't hear bartender unless he significantly raised his voice. That was only downside for us that we couldn't really converse because of the noise - the food was great though and I'd go back when I'm in town!

I'm giving this place 5 stars simply because of their Massaman Curry and their appetizer bar! Although ti didn't get a pic of the appetizer bar, I was able to snag one of the curry before devouring every last drop!!!! Their appetizer bar almost had me full but, no, I kept it classy and saved space for the curry!! Super happy I did. Deep, rich, body of flavors. Spice level II!! 10/10, would highly recommend! Staff was attentive and on point with every question I had about the menu and the bold flavors of the curry! Go during lunch! They have the appetizer bar as a freebie. The meal with appetizer bar was $13.95! Took my mom and she adored it. Want to go back tomorrow! I'm like mom! I'm a Yelp eliter, I literally have to try other places lol!!

Unique, interesting, delicious food in a clean setting with great staff! What more could you ask for? The location is a bit out of the way for me but I would definitely come back to try other items and get the Tom yum and Nam khao again. As another reviewer said, this is definitely more Laotian and less Thai. I recommend asking the servers to explain the flavor profile differences so you are not shocked. We came in for the boat noodles, which we heard great things about. Our server also recommended the Nam khao (crispy fried rice) and red curry. My friend and I thought the boat noodles were very interesting. Definitely more fishy than I expected. It had beef and came with crispy pork belly on a skewer (for an additional $3). I don't think I would order it again but for people who like a more fermented flavor profile, I think it's a must try. The Nam khao was probably my favorite. The server said they remake the rice and wrap it in a ball. When a customer orders it, they fry the whole ball and then break it apart and add pork. You eat it wrapped in lettuce. I loved it with the garlic chili oil. So delicious. I also loved the Tom yum. It was spicy, tangy and had tons of mushrooms. Beech and bella mushrooms and giant shrimp. They don't skimp on protein and better quality ingredients so I think that's why it's a bit pricier for such casual food. Highly recommend and I can't wait to come back to try the other stuff recommended by our server.

One of the best kept secrets in Houston when it comes to Thai Food. Amy and Sam are awesome and their food is AMAZING. Seriously. I've yet to find something I didn't LOVE. Today we had the Pad Pik Pow w chicken (ridiculously good), the Chicken Garlic Fried Rice, Cheese rolls and Fried Dumplings. As always, it was phenomenal. Other great dishes we've had here are Garlic Pepper Chicken stir fry, Sweet Sausage Friend Rice (amazing!) and Hot Thai Chicken (not too spicy and so flavorful)Tell them Kevin and Heather and Connor sent you! You won't be disappointed, I promise!

This was my first time ordering from one of those ghost kitchens (wasn't aware that's what it was before we got there but we committed to it).Easy to order via the giant iPad kiosk and there was a friendly guy behind the counter checking in to see if we needed help. Our food was ready within 5 minutes. There was seating inside but the ambiance wasn't there, and it was murderously hot rendering the outdoor seating a non-option.I picked the standard crispy chicken with rice. I knew on the car ride home that this was going to be good because of the intoxicating smell alone. The chicken was crispy and hot when I picked it up (yes I sampled on the drive) and held up okay when I ate it a couple hours later. I preferred the chili sauce over the spicier thicker one. And the little portion of bitter melon soup broth was salty and refreshing. The rice was on the oily side but packed full of ginger and garlic flavor. Glad they included the fresh cucumber and cabbage to balance it. And like others said, the packaging here is great. The closed box is partially exposed to allow ventilation so nothing gets soggy, and the soup container was secured in plastic wrap. I noticed utensils were not included with mine but maybe it was an option on the kiosk I missed.My boyfriend got a cold teriyaki chicken bowl from a Hawaiian food vendor and he liked it (I preferred my Angry Mom).Overall impressed with this quick and convenient gem and I will definitely order from Angry Mom for takeout again.

Very friendly establishment! Food was hot and delicious. There were no bean sprouts for lo mein. Can't give 5 stars until I find authentic tasting Chinese food. Very good though. No knocks
Visit Restaurant Page"Enjoyed this thai place in Cypress. The brussel sprouts were very tasty. The tom kha soup was decent. The pad thai was moist and yummy. Service was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was small and quaint. Parking was easy."
"Walking in the first impression was not a good one. We were pretty much ignored at the front counter and then had pretty slow service to start due to a language barrier.But then the food came....OMG, even the friggin plain white rice was gorge level good.Loved the cashew chicken and the ploy fried rice were awesome. They have an all you can eat sushi buffet on Mondays"
"I sat at the bar and had a great evening. Eel Roll and a martini were perfect pairs. I've never been here before, but I am a sushi lover and the selection was great. It wasn't crowded, so no wait.. perfect evening. Will be back!!!"
"First time here and it looks decent with a lot of different food options. Pretty decent noodles with grilled beef. Their veggies are good since they don't add sprouts. I don't like sprouts. The cashier said that the workers don't get the tips unless it's in cash. I'll bring cash next time I'm here if I remember."
"So I know it's been quite a whileSince I got curry at Thai StyleIt's been so hard to reach meWith my Barbi beneath meAnd I'm sure she'll soon walk down the aisleI still have yet to get on my kneesBut I do when I worship and pleaseAnd then once she has ***She needs Thai in her tumSo I take her to eat some of these!Not to be confused with Doggie Style or Gangnam Style. Unless you really want it to be.This is one of our favourite cheap Thai restaurants, with massive portions and very friendly service. It's no frills and we come in here whenever you get the chance.We like it a lot and it really gets the job done. Like I said, the portions are huge and most of the food is delicious, especially the fried rice which is wonderful.They put a hell of a lot of chicken in their chicken dishes, which is great for my weight lifting but can sometimes get a little bit monotonous.I don't think it's technically the most Thai of Thai food - maybe a little bit more like Homestyle Thai food. But much better than the crap like Thai Gourmet that most people call the best Thai in town.Besides, Bush won't be remembered fondly, but Gore may.Now I'd love to write more, but I'm a bit Thai'd up."
"Lovely hole-in-the-wall place. Prices were quite reasonable, and service is friendly.We had Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Both were nice but we enjoyed the Pad See Ew more - Pad Thai was a little too sweet. Spiciness level is customizable from 0-5. We only tried levels 1 and 2. There was basically no heat at 1, and barely any at 2. We could have easily done 3-4 I think, but YMMV."
"KATY, TX 77494 / THAI / 01-21-24 / TAKEOUT LUNCH+Great customer service! Each staff member hustles and tries to deliver a delightful customer experience.+Consistent execution of dishes; i.e., pad thai+Pricing is reasonable and entree portions are pretty much Texas-sized. Check out the size of the to-go containers!+The restaurant decor is nice and the place is cozy.-Many of the dishes seem pretty westernized in flavor; little to no fish sauce in many of the dishes that usually call for it.-The pad thai was mushy by the time I got home with our takeout order.-They don't offer the tray of spices (green chili peppers in vinegar, red chili peppers in fish sauce, and chili powder) that other authentic Thai restaurants usually have as condiments; i.e., Thai Garden (Galleria area)-Limited menu for a Thai restaurant in my opinion. Where is the kao mun gai or ka prow?This joint does not elevate itself to the levels of Kin Dee (Heights), Street to Kitchen (EaDo), or Four Region Thai (Spring, TX) but is good for a Katy neighborhood restaurant serving Thai cuisine. If you can't make the long drive to some of the great authentic Thai spots Space City has to offer, go check Zaab Station out and give them some Yelp/Google love!"
"I know this seemed sketch being that it's out of a gas station but, this is THE best Thai food around! placed an order to-go and everything was delicious! Curry, Pad Thai, all the things on the menu. Only caveat is it is a bit pricey however for a delicious meal, I think we would all agree that we'd rather pay a bit more for a meal that you'll enjoy from start to finish. Their kitchen is clean too so despite it being at a gas station, debunk the myth and try it!"
"Great place! It's been here awhile and have always driven by but never stopped. Today I changed that! Came on a Saturday afternoon at 2 and there was only 1 other table so it was nice and quiet. Place is super clean and staff was friendly. The Pad Thai was great! And the Thai Dumplings were delicious. Would definitely add this to my rotation of places to eat at going forward. Will be back!"
"Great little thai spot in katy with pretty authentic dishes. My family has been coming here for years. It's been a while since we came here last but the prices have jumped. We tried the Pad Kee Mao, cashew with pineapple, peanut chicken and ginger duck. Each dish was either too sweet or too salty. The pad kee mao was delicious and flavorful and spicy but overall salty. The cashew with pineapple was also delicious just sweet. The peanut chicken was such a colorful dish and the peanut flavor was yum but the fish was sweet. The ginger duck was also yummy but salty."
"We stopped by here because our car was parked in the garage across the street and we were hungry and craving Thai. Absolute GEM! Our server was super sweet and sat us right away, drinks came out right after. Service was overall quick! The ambiance was peaceful and very private as we were the only ones for the first half of our meal. We got the egg rolls, FIRE! 9.5/10! They came piping hot with a yummy sweet chili dipping sauce. I got a Thai tea and my husband got a Perrier. I really liked the Thai tea, definitely a 9.5/10! I got the Tom Yum shrimp, I loved it! 9.5/10, one of my favorite ones out of the 20+ restaurants I've tried over the years! My husband got the pineapple fried rice, he gave it a 8/10, he said it was good! I also got the mango sticky rice to go and it was divine! 10/10, I'll be back just for that!"
"I must say, your establishment is exceptionally clean, inviting, and exudes a friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home.Upon arrival, my party and I were promptly seated and attended to with our choice of beverages. The service was attentive and courteous, creating a positive first impression.Now, let me tell you about the food. We decided to start with some appetizers and ordered the Crab Rangoon and Fried Dumplings. The Crab Rangoon was absolutely divine! The texture was incredibly soft and flaky, almost melting in our mouths. The filling was perfectly balanced, not overpowering but just enough to savor its flavors. In fact, I was so impressed that I would gladly return to your restaurant solely to indulge in five orders of Crab Rangoon alone.While the Fried Dumplings were good, they didn't quite match up to the exceptional quality of the Crab Rangoon. However, they were still enjoyable and contributed to our overall dining experience.Moving on to the main course, one of us ordered the Pad Thai, specifically requesting it to be spicy. The dish was prepared to perfection, with the right amount of heat and a harmonious blend of flavors. It was evident that great care was taken in its preparation. I really enjoyed the Pad see ewOverall, the dining experience at your restaurant was outstanding. The combination of a clean environment, inviting ambiance, and friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere that made our visit memorable. The Crab Rangoon, in particular, left a lasting impression on our taste buds."
"My sister took me here for my birthday lunch, what a wonderful experience! From the minute we walked in through the door we were greeted by a friendly face. This food was wonderful on the palate, the service was equally as wonderful. We both had the Thai Iced Tea, very refreshing, I had the Hawaiian fried rice with shrimp, medium spicy I will be coming back, one of my new favorites!"
"This place doesn't look like much from the outside. When you first roll up there's not a lot of parking, so that might be a challenge at times. I went closer to 1:00 p.m. and so I found a space right out front. The decor inside is quite nice. The service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious.I had the beef pad Thai lunch special which was like $12 and came with a little fried spring roll and cream cheese filled puff. While the meal is not huge, it's probably the size I should be eating. Everything was very tasty. I went with the lowest level of heat which turned out to be almost none at all. When I go back I would kick it up at least once level."
"Thai food that's not too expensive and tastes amazing? Yep, this place has that.Ever since coming here for the first time a few months ago, my husband and I now frequent this place. It's hands down the best Thai food in sugar land. We usually get their pad Thai, massaman curry and their Tom yum soup.At a lot of thai restaurants, I feel like the pad thai is too sweet. The Nines does a great job at making sure their pad thai has the perfect sweetness/tamarind mix. It's flavorful and well portioned for the price, the massaman curry is creamy and delicious, and you'll usually have enough to take home unless you're really hungry! The Tom yum soup is simple and comforting, and makes you salivate with each spoonful.Definitely come check this casual thai restaurant out! Not only is their food great, the service is incredible every time."
"A fave local Viet restaurant in the area. It's located in a spacious plaza where Thang Hung grocery store is. Their service is pretty quick and friendly. Some of my favorite items to get is the fried rice with shaken beef, mi quang, dry hu tieu, and bun thịt nướng. Their pho is also pretty solid. Great portion and with good prices. I always enjoy getting to-go here for lunch. A great spot to get your Viet food craving. Would highly recommend if you're in the area."
"What an awesome place where my friend and I enjoyed her birthday dinner. Hidden and quiet. Perfect to enjoy an intimate time with the ones closest to you. We had such a relaxing time and the food also pretty awesome!I ordered the spicy chicken stir fry with white rice. Super good taste and everything a stir fry should be. We also ordered the egg rolls for an appetizer. Delicious and fresh tasting. My friend ordered the pad thai dish with chicken; medium hot. She said it was HOT. (I would have loved it) Guess you gave to watch the spice level! Spicier the better in my eyes. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back. Love that it isn't over crowded and that it was great authentic Thai dishes. Awesome service too!"
"Great value, kind staff, and delicious food. I came on a Tuesday evening and was seated immediately. The waitress was very kind, helpful, and attentive. Orange beef 5/5Black pepper shrimp 5/5Happy family 4/5I heard the wonton soup here is good although didn't try it. I'd recommend this place! Support local/small businesses!"
"Tasty Thai food! Great place and very busy. A ton of to-go orders and the restaurant was half full. Always a good sign that the food is good!I had the house salad with their peanut dressing. The dressing was very good! Also ordered the crispy rolls (egg rolls). They were long and thin. I really loved the flavor of the veggies in the rolls. I could probably eat 5 orders of these. The Pad Khing Chicken was really good. If you love fresh ginger, order this dish! It hit the spot."
"I have gone to ThaiCoon in Pearland twice since it opened. Both times, I was greeted promptly on entering the restaurant and seated right away. The wait staff was very attentive both times. The ambiance was a bit quiet for me, especially for being a small space but otherwise it was pleasant.I ordered the money bags both times which were delicious and a filling snack. I ordered the Thai Larb with Filet Mignon the first time. It was delicious. It's a simple dish but really hits the spot for me. The second time I ordered the Blooming Pad Thai with Shrimp. I was blown away by the presentation and the taste was amazing as well. I chose the highest possible spice level and it tasted great to me. Another thing that I liked was that they carried one of my favorite Japanese Whiskeys at the bar. Pricey at $30+ dollars a pour but tastes so good. I'll be back for sure, to try all the curries, pork belly and Tamarind Duck Thigh. Looking forward to being a returning customer."
"Judging by all the awards and accolades on the wall, it appears the heydey for Thai Bistro was nearly 2 decades ago (#1). The place is reminiscent of many Asian establishments in this part of town: a diminished authentic experience semi-overpriced, and primed for the palates of folks in this part of town.On looks alone, Thai Bistro seems to stand out a bit more than the neighboring businesses. It shares the underpass of Summit Square (#2) with a good amount of al fresco dining outdoor seating options. Looks can be somewhat deceiving, as the inside is a little more tight than I would have imagined despite the second level seating. It might not feel super group friendly, but it's definitely got casual date vibes and lunch destination feels.Given how pricey the a la carte options (#3) are, I'd recommend the lunch special which was $12 and under for an entree, mini app, and drink. The options include items such as the bbq lemongrass tofu, pad thai, panang chicken curry, chicken basil inferno, and yellow curry vermicelli. I didn't find much of anything that exciting but we still ordered a heap of food any way.The tom yum was probably the highlight. The prawns were fresh, the smell was fragrant, and the broth was flavorful despite being crazy dark. The fish cakes were a bit of a bummer as they were oily and bland. The pad thai was passable but the penang curry was substantially better. Pad see ew felt average and the fried dumplings / spring rolls were a total bust. When it comes to appetizers, I'd probably stick with the satays or none at all.Minus the food miscues, the real kicker was the service. They were just so slow that it took longer for us to get our check than it did for us to eat our meals. It was hard getting someone's attention for usual things such as water refills or simply ordering more food. There were a lot of uncleaned tables at the end of service but few folks tending to them.I realize that I'm not the target clientele and that's okay. I think I expected this given everything, but it'll likely be awhile before I'm back. ___________(#1) 2006 / 2007.(#2) Exhibit A: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-bistro-houston?select=U2eYGpP1q29VKf21TNCk7w(#3) $23 for some crab fried rice? Okay then."
"This place is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" kind of places. Many people focus on the aesthetic or looks of a place but I personally think that even if a place has outdated decor, it can still be amazing. Service was 5 starts for sure, I came in 1 hour before closing and my server had a smile on her face and made me feel so welcomed! When I told her it was my first time and asked for recommendations, she suggested the red curry and I couldn't be more pleased with her suggestion. Spring rolls were spot on, and the side sauce was so good. The curry was spicy , yet it wasn't spicy to the point where it was unbearable to eat. It may look like a small portion, but rest assured that the curry will not only it the spot but will fill you up 100%. This family operated place is honestly one of the best places I've tried, and you can tell the people there really take pride in what they do."
