Ok, so yes and yes and yes - we ordered fried tofu, garlic edamame, spring rolls, lettuce wraps, papaya salad, shrimp pad thai, shrimp fried rice, and can't leave out the iced thai tea (large). The garlic edemame was completely amazing, so were the spring rolls. The pad thai was good but a little on the sweet side, the fried rice was good as well, it had raisins and pineapple. The papaya salad was BOMB - I strongly suggest not ordering this if you aren't familiar with papaya salad. While it was just amazing they do add sauces like fish sauce (sometimes an acquired taste and smell). I loved the thai tea - we've been to a couple of thai restaurants and this is the first that actually offered a LARGE thai tea and this was almost the same size as a Wendy's large cup. Oh! And not pictured but was also bomb was the mango sticky rice! It is a must!! I wish I had tried their fresh spring rolls - I must've missed it on the menu but I thought I saw another table order it. If you enjoy spicy food I'd suggest ordering the thai hot - they also have hot sauce and a spicy pepper powder (not sure I described that well). I definitely recommend this restaurant! Don't delay go today!!

Poor food quality, misrepresentation of menu items, small portions that are overpriced, very RUDE and confrontational staff (Gommy or similar spelling) that is not aquatinted with the menu or knows how food items are prepared. Be careful if you have allergies or intolerances, they don’t care and will just try to sell the item, then lie and deny should there be an issue. We ordered takeout on the phone before close on 1/1/24, around 8:20-8:30 pm. We ordered Chicken Satay and the chicken curry with no onions. We asked if the chicken satay was fried/ cooked with oil, or grilled, because we did not want it if it was fried. The waitress helping us on the phone (Gommy) said it was grilled, but was not 100% sure and said she had to go ask. We were placed on hold as she proceeded to go ask, resumed and assured us it was indeed grilled. It was not. It was fried, dehydrated and oily (see media). We had also ordered the curry without onions. She repeated the order to confirm, but we got curry with onions… and fried chicken skewers that were shy of 4 oz and cost $14. The next day I called to request to speak to a manager. I spoke to the same waitress that took our order the night before, and casually explained the issue, but she got extremely defensive and spoke with an unprofessional tone and attitude, denying everything or any fault. From the beginning I gave her a disclaimer that I will not be arguing with her and wished to speak to a manager, but she continued saying she did everything right and wasn’t her problem/ fault. To note, when my Fiance placed the order on speaker phone, I was present and heard everything that she tried to deny. It’s these kinds of employees that ruin small businesses, and it would be in the owner’s best interest to know how guests are treated and how concerns are handled by them. Oh also, look at the other user’s photos of how their satay looked compared to ours!! Clearly ours was not prepared with the same quality, so goes to show a refund is well warranted just based off that!! See last photo for screenshot of someone else’s review that has satay.

This used to be my go to place for delivery. I loved their yellow vegetarian curry and my husband their shrimp pad thai, not anymore. Their quality has had a sharp downturn. We ordered several times and never had a problem. I would even get upset with my husband if he ordered from a different place. However, today’s order was subpar. The yellow curry was watery soup with few vegetables. I had gotten this in the past and it had a thicker consistency and had plenty of vegetables and even tofu. Additionally, it was packaged in a rectangular meal container, not even a soup container like they used to. Needless to say, extremely messy. I had asked for medium spicy and it was almost inedible due to the spice. The pad Thai, which again we always order, did not have any vegetables. It always came with vegetables. My husband asked for medium spice, I think they forgot to add any. Nothing, not a single red flake and zero spice. All in all, extremely disappointing. I doubt we’ll order again as this is no longer the quality it used to be.

I tried a couple new dishes! The spicy seafood soup is out of this world excellent. I also ordered vegetable & tofu plate - it was prepared well and taste good, but would rather order something else next time. Service was on point.
