Tldr; Great servers, Quick Service, Good food!

Went here for dinner with family visiting from Australia, and we were all very impressed! I'd heard great things about the place from my boyfriend who is a frequent customer here, and I'm so glad I picked this place! The server did take a while to come to us to take our order, but that's probably because we were just talking, haha. The service was extremely quick though! I ordered the Chicken Pra Ram, which was steamed chicken breast, steamed veggies and peanut sauce. I went for the a la carte to avoid the rice and got requested extra veggies instead. I even asked them to give me only the green beans and drop the cabbage and carrots, and they were happy to comply. The dish came loaded with peanut sauce though, and when I asked the server if I could have the sauce on the side instead, he went and got me a new order without hesitation! Huge bonus points for that! There was a ton of chicken too though, and the combination tasted really nice. I barely used any peanut sauce, but it was pretty good! My family got the Shrimp Pad Thai and the a la carte Chicken Pad Himmaparn (kind of like cashew chicken), both on the spicier side, and they loved both items. They were surprised how the kitchen actually made the food spicy as they wanted, unline a lot of other places whose spice level was never up to the mark. They both really enjoyed the meal, as well as the wine they got. Great...

Don't order the seafood salad.

IMy friend from Thailand decided to take us here. We were debating between this establishment and Sai Jai around the area, but laziness trumped. Should have walked that extra block.

Ordered:

Tom Kha: Coconut soup with chicken breast. Chicken was overcooked and rough.

Larb: A bit salty. Lacked depth compared to the ones I've had at Lers Ros.

Thai Sausage: I'll admit I've never had it, so I don't have much to compare it to. Flavors were good and great with rice. Only gripe was that the sausage was a bit dry and the peppers and ginger served with the meal weren't cut finely to eat with the sausage. Whole peppers and inch long ginger pieces were on the dish. My Thai friend says they're meant to be small to compliment the sausage.

Seafood Salad: I had such high hope for this, and it was such a let down. Not only did the seafood not taste fresh, but it made us sick. Nothing is worse than old fishy seafood....and to make us sick is even worse.

Thai tea: Did the FB check in for this freebie. I probably can't complain on something that was given to me, but what the heck. It was overly sweet. I had to add most of my water to dilute it.

With so many Thai options in the area I'll gladly walk a few blocks more for something that's better tasting and food poisoning free. As for my Thai friend... He felt terrible for...
