This place is pretty good. It came as a Google suggestion and I decided to give it a try. The wife loves thai food and usually gets green curry but opted for the pumpkin curry. I love drunken noodles and decided to get that. My 2 year old will generally eat any type of fried rice so I decided to go big and get the crab fried rice because I was curious and it is a signature dish. I got all this to go so I apologize for the pictures because I was lazy and didnt want to stage the dishes.

I just had a quick taste of the pumpkin curry but it was flavorful and creamy like any other curry. Decent spice but nothing crazy. I cant really judge the dish definitively because I didnt do much more than a taste. The wife said it was good and would get it again. However, for the price, she would go to out usual thai spot.

I had the drunken noodles and it did not disappoint. Spicier than I am used to but nothing crazy. The fresh chili was welcoming and the noodles were delicious. There was nothing special about the chicken and it didnt taste as if it was marinated in anything. The side salad that it came with had a small container of creamy dressing. Similar to the mayo based dressings you may find in some Japanese restaurants. I wasnt a fan of the salad or the dressing and found it kind of odd in my to go box. Also, the heat of the dish wilted some of the salad. Other than that, there are no complaints about the quality of the food.

The crab fried rice was delicious but I would have appreciated larger chunks of crab. It wasnt lingering with a fishy taste and the other ingredients had a chance to shine through. The carrots were unexpected but the kid LOVES them so it was a plus. A little expensive but worth to try...

Update four years later

I don't know what happened, although I suspect inflation and the lack of skilled workers, but the quality went way down hill.

Crispy chicken fried rice was not crispy. It was not cut up chicken like before. The chicken pieces were uniform ovals and the (not) crispy skin was loose and flabby. Most importantly, there was no flavor. The fried rice was not a mound of fluffy egg fried rice, it was mushy. I could not eat it.

As seen in my original review, that was my favorite dish and now I will not order from them anymore. Especially when I paid over $100 for just three people.

Very good food. I especially like the fried rice and fried chicken. The crab fried rice is very good, as well, as is the ginger chicken. I usually get quite a bit of fried rice with the chicken, but this time, it was about half as much, otherwise it would have been a 5. This is a "go to" place.

Update: What ever the problem was, it was fixed! 5 stars is for real. They consistently outdo almost every other...
