I lived in the same city for 22 years, and I accumulated a long list of restaurants that I would (more in theory than in practice) recommend to visitors. I've been living in the quad cities for three years now, and I have places I like to eat, but not many I would point to and say, "When you come here, you Have to have a meal there."
This unassuming little restaurant makes me feel like a local, because I finally have a great place to recommend to outsiders. Between three people, we ordered three appetizers and three entrees, and everything was incredible. I don't think I can overstate how good the food was.

When we got home with our food we were missing an item, I was frustrated and called in. They said we never ordered the item and ultimately our receipt didn’t show that we did, they were right. But they were very nice and very professional, and the food was the best Thai food we have had in the area. We have even ordered from their other locations but this location was the best. I wanted to make sure to post a review and really encourage people to go here, they are very professional and the food...
