I really liked the atmosphere here. Very quiet and nice place. The food was just ok to us. We were looking for something different and that's what we found, nothing special about the food. I will say the raspberry tea was excellent, even though there aren't any refills on special teas it's served in a HUGE mason jar so one is more than enough!! We ordered the crab puffs and fried spring rolls as an appetizer. Both were just ok, I definitely prefer them over a chinese restaurant. For an the entreè we had shrimp pineapple curry with jasmine rice, crab fried rice and fried egg noodles. The curry was not what I expected it wasn't spicy at all, maybe I should of tried a higher spice level. It came as a broth type serving, which I didn't expect either. The size of the shrimp was decent size and the pineapple pieces were as well. I've only had curry once but I've never seen it served this way. Kind of a let down for me, I recently visited Japan and had curry for the first time there, I was looking for something close to what I had, this missed the mark for me. The crab fried rice is a large portion! Definitely can share it and worth the price. This wasn't my entree but the person who had it, said it was just ok and the crab had a strong smell to it. The fried noodles were ok I think they'd be better in a sauce or broth, just by themselves they were ok. If you've never had Thai before this is a nice place to try, also note their noodles have a sweet taste compared to other noodles. I like it and don't mind the taste but if you're not used to it, you may not like it so much. Like I said if you're looking for something different at a decent price this is a nice place to visit. I will be back to try...

Have ordered here for many years but the last several times have shown this restaurant js going totally down hill; Missing food on to-go orders, charging for tiny containers of sweet and sour sauce, and changes to how they prepare the food so now it tastes different and not nearly as good. Tonight I ordered online at 7:25pm and it said pickup at 8:40pm. I thought that was a long time so at 8:13pm I called to check on my order. Sure enough, the food was already done and waiting for me 25 min before the time they told me to pickup. Now, Prim the manager was great. She apologized profusely and refunded my money. She was very understanding about my concerns and was very nice. It seems they are under new management that has set this place on a massive downward spiral. They are clearly cutting corners everywhere at the expense of the food quality and customer experience. The icing on the cake is that I got my comped meal home and found a hair in it. Absolute disappointment, just plain gross and totally unacceptable. We used to go several times a month and had stopped due to the issues but decided to give it a shot tonight for our date night. Huge mistake. Glad it was already comped because it saved me a trip back up there to get a refund. This new management better go back to how it was, otherwise they’re going to run it...
