In a location that used to be a midwestern cafe (hence all the wood and fireplace, it had a hunting lodge motif) this delicious place popped up and I’m sad it took me this long to get here.

They kept the inside style but brightened it up with hanging orchids, mobile/wind homes, and bamboo accents making it feel like you’re in a secret garden in a forest in Thailand.

We started with soups - Tom kha was rich and flavorful but I missed the heat (it’s not indicated as spicy but I bet you can ask) and Tom yum was perfectly balanced sweet, sour, and spicy.

We tried the lemongrass chicken wings which were crunchy and cooked well but I didn’t taste the lemongrass over the Thai chili sauce it was covered in. The fresh rolls were a miss for me, I didn’t like that they were served cut up because unless you ate it in one bite it falls apart. I also prefer mine with peanut sauce. They were rolled well however and the ingredients were prepared well.

The Panang curry is deliciously flavored and I was happy to see zucchini and broccoli- most places just do bell pepper and bamboo. It was a bit thin consistency but the rice soaked it right up. Medium spicy was a good medium though it was a bit sweet so I might go up to hot next time to counter that.

We also had the combination plate which had a crunchy and refreshing papaya salad, beef jerky which was a little tough but to be expected since it is jerky - great lightly sweet and salty flavor. The pandan coconut rice was sweet and felt more like a dessert but delicious nonetheless.

I’d honestly come back and order a ton of appetizers because there was a lot of tasty sounding things I would love to try!

Service was friendly and attentive and the whole place...

First visit. Okay…time for servers to stop wearing masks! Yuck!!! The service started out slow. Didn’t see our server for a good 5-7 minutes after we were seated but it picked up almost too much. We hadn’t even finished our soup and salad and the entrees came within a minute and getting cold as we finished. Better timing needed coming out of the kitchen.

Great green papaya salad, the Tom Kai Gai soup was lacking tomato chucks and light chili powder, very watery although generous portions of chicken and mushrooms. Red curry with chicken was flavorful but again sauce was very watery. I’ve had much better. Generous enough portions.

Now the bad part! The restaurant decor is tired and DIRTY! The tile floors were black with ground in dirt! There were black mop marks all over the bottom of the booths. The upholstery was dirty and although the decor was quaint and interesting I don’t think it’s been dusted in years! The table tops need to be refinished.

Husband used the bathroom and it was very dirty and NO soap, not even a dispenser! I wonder if the employees use that bathroom as well. I don’t want to even imagine what the kitchen may look like!

Time for a total refresh. The food is worth trying again but until it is cleaner we will...
