It’s a cozy Thai eatery with a good measure of authenticity, spoiled only by that pesky crab rangoon 😡 which did NOT originate from and does NOT exist in any country of Asia.

For this otherwise very pleasant eatery with outstanding service👏👏👏, the flavors are however hit-or-miss🫤🫤🫤.

***The Combo App is a good way to test flavors.

😡 The Crispy Veg Rolls are tasteless and very oily.

😊The Dumplings are well seasoned, but missing authentic Thai flavors.

😊😊😊 The Satay is as flavorful as should be!

😡😡😡 The dipping sauces however sugary, missing the balancing chili kick and umami flavor of fish sauce.

Thanks to table chili paste, mixing it with sauces rescued the Appetizers.

***There’s a good menu of familiar Thai comfort foods as well as some house “specialties”.

😊😊😊The Crispy Basil Duck is outstanding. It has all the aroma and flavors that are uniquely Thai.

😡😡😡 The Kay Soi (Khao Soi) is the worst version I’ve ever tasted. It’s very sweet, lacking the flavor/aroma of Thai spices. A very dismal attempt on the Northern Thai gustatory treasure. IT WENT BACK TO THE KITCHEN.

😊 Expressing my dislike of sweet entrees, the waitress recommended Kee Mow. With chicken and extra veggies, it’s indeed very good.

😡😡😡😡😡 A major issue: There’s no real Thai chili heat despite orders of level 5 and 7 out of the supposed scale of 1 -10.

NOTE: It is a fallacy to equate “spicy” with “chili hot”.

Spices are multiplicity of flavors and aromas, mostly from plants, chilies are a minor component of true spiciness.

☕️☕️☕️ Jasmine Tea is a terrific way to cleanse the palate and stimulate gastric juices DESPITE the hit-or-miss flavors.

IF AND ONLY IF the cook tempers the sweetness, fortify the Thai flavors and correctly add the chili heat, this eatery will be lifted up the culinary scale!!!
