Overall Score: 8.2/10 – A beautifully remodeled space with a Thai-themed atmosphere and thoughtful touches, offering fresh and flavorful food with attentive service.
Atmosphere and Service: 8.4/10 – The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between Thai culture and seasonal touches, featuring tasteful Halloween decorations. The newly remodeled space is clean, fresh, and well laid out, with a spacious feel that complements the medium-sized room. The server was helpful and attentive, providing water and answering menu questions. The menu was thoughtfully designed, with clear markers to assist those unfamiliar with Thai cuisine. Food was served promptly, enhancing the overall experience.
Thai Appetizers: 5.4/10 – A good assortment of appetizers, though slightly pricey. The crab rangoons followed the standard Thai style and were enjoyable. The gyoza stood out as a more unique item, adding variety to the dish. However, the octopus balls were a letdown, containing very little octopus and lacking noticeable flavor. The spring rolls, on the other hand, were fresh and delicious, rounding out the appetizer selection nicely.
Pineapple Fried Rice: 8.9/10 – This dish was outstanding, delivering one of the best pineapple fried rice experiences in Raleigh. The variety of ingredients ensured every bite was flavorful and distinct. The rice and chicken were cooked to perfection, with the chicken especially tender and delicious. The pineapple was perfectly ripe, enhancing the overall flavor. Although the price was high, the taste made it worth it, though it still felt a bit steep.
Duck Ramen: 9.1/10 – A standout dish, surpassing the quality of many ramen houses. The duck was perfectly tender, elevating the dish to another level. The broth was full of flavor, and the noodles were cooked just right. While the price was a little high, the exceptional taste and quality made it a...
Read moreWe decided to check this place out because my daughter really wanted to try some Pho. While they don't have Pho exactly, they do have a beef noodle soup which is very similar to Pho. And it fit the bill because they had a lot of gluten-free options that could be made vegan, when you ask. They also had a lot of good options for my husband to try and it was close to our house.
My guess is they are busier during dinner service, because we were the only ones in there for lunch service. Which was completely fine with me because it means we got great service. The restaurant was very clean and we loved the layout. The servers were all very friendly and knowledgeable, especially regarding gluten-free and vegan. Huge bonus for me!
The food came out quickly and was perfect. Great flavor profile for my food, which was Vegan Pad Thai. I really liked their tofu as well because it was not the huge chunks that you normally get, but a little bit smaller and crispier. My daughter loved her Beef Pho (Beef Noodle Soup), and even said it was her favorite one she's tried yet. And that is a huge win because she is extremely picky! My husband said he enjoyed his dish as well.
Overall, no complaints and the pricing was also great. This is definitely a place we will go back and check out again and we really hope that...
Read moreThis place is full of crooks. I have come here 3 times and every time they either gave me the wrong food, left food out all together or gave me old/spoiled food. The first time I complained, they didn’t do anything about it. The second time they refused to refund me but made me fresh (very good) food but it took 30 min because they were making it from scratch. Shouldn’t they always make it from scratch? The third time I came I ordered to go and they didn’t give me rice (which came with my meal), the soup contained nothing but water , 4 mushrooms and three shrimp. I had a meeting to attend which I missed because I had to drive back there to tell them about my order. This time they refused to give me a refund and the cooks came out of the kitchen and screamed at me. The waiter wouldn’t translate to them for me as to what the problem was, he had a smirk on his face and told me no refund but took the food back. Not until I raised hell and requested to talk to the manager who was in their Raleigh restaurant did they agree to give me refund and I am still waiting for that money. The manager in Raleigh, named Miley, also didn’t hear me out and put another guy on the phone who then hung up on me. Horrible, horrible service horrible horrible food. I highly suggest not to...
