Very cute decorations and cozy. Had the yellow curry with a side salad that came with a sweet vinaigrette dressing. The yellow curry was delicious it had a bit of a kick to it but I promise it's not bad at all. It came with egg rolls on the side and they were delicious. The staff was quick overall good experiencePaid $14.55

Love that they offer so many vegetarian options! The vegetarian pad thai and tofu spring rolls are delicious. I am always so grateful when the staff makes sure there isn't any fish sauce. I have only had take out from here but the inside is cute and cozy. A little pricy but worth it if you are craving Thai food!

1st time dining inside this week. I've normally only done takeout. The restaurant itself is very small & casual, & our server was very nice. I loved the green curry as per usual. We also got the pad thai which was great. I'd say it ran sweeter than most pad thai dishes we have ordered, but adding the hot chili sauce in top made it a great combo. This place is overall very reliable if you are looking for some good thai. My recommendation is to grab takeout first the beach or park nearby!

Though this place is right around the corner from us, we avoided it for so long due to poor reviews. Well I'm glad we finally gave in because this has been our go-to spot for Thai and it hasn't disappointed yet. One thing I've noticed is how fresh and flavorful their ingredients are. I've had their Thai spring rolls (egg rolls), yellow curry, pad see yew, eggplant basil and pad Thai - I would order all of that again! We've only done take out but they have a cutely decorated cozy interior and outside patio, perfect for dining in. Another testament to this place is a mutual friend of ours in passing talked about how amazing their Tom Kha is and regularly visits this place. He had no idea we also recently fell in love with the restaurant. Best of all, it's right on PCH and a few blocks away from the beach. Take your food to go and eat on the beach or in the harbor!

TRUST THOSE WHO YELP REGULARLY...1st timers, just passing through. We love Thai food, but weren't sure.1. Service was fantastic... very polite, knowledgeable, and attentive.2. Food was delish. We ordered two Spicy Noodles (spice levels 2/5 (tofu) & 3/5 (chicken)) and one Yellow Curry (spice level 3/5 (chicken))... all from the lunch menu, and a pot of ginger tea (kinda watered down).3. Ambiance was good, but not the traditional Thai music we expected, and we had to close the front door to kill the traffic noise from the street.We thought the service was great, food was good (great use of spicy basil), and overall a nice opportunity.Definitely a nice place.Recommended.

First off, very thankful they are opened on Christmas Day! A very small, yet intimate eatery, staff are super amazing and while it was chaotic, probably due to the only opened spot, they seem organized. Food was really, really good, and portion size is quite hefty. Kudos and will definitely be back! Also, to note, it says 3.5 stars in yelp, and 4.4 on google. Google is probably more closer to the experience.
