My wife and I discovered this place sort of randomly tonight and, seeing where we haven't had Thai food since moving to the area a year ago, decided to give it a try and.... WOW!
It's a little different in that you order at a counter and then the food is delivered to your table. I thought it was a little odd, but it actually worked out really well. The food came out within seconds of it being done cooking! The entire staff were friendly, welcoming and they definitely know the menu, which was helpful for us as we had a hard time choosing.
We started out with fried pork dumplings and they were amazing! We've always had a ginger sauce with dumplings at other Thai restaurants we've been to, but the sauce here is absolutely perfectly paired with the dumplings. The dumplings were filled well, perfectly fried and were great on their own - but with that sauce, they were elevated to a whole new culinary delight!
My wife had a mango curry (not my thing!!) and she said it was very, very good. She liked that the mango was very fresh as were the vegetables. She added chicken and said that there was a lot of chicken! She also had Thai iced tea and proclaimed it delicious.
I ended up choosing pad Thai, which kind of felt like too much of a safe choice. But, having never been here, I wanted to try something that I knew how it should taste as I've had it in many different Thai restaurants. It was spectacular!! It was the best pad Thai I've had in a very long time, way beyond what I expected and chock full of chicken. Not at all greasy, very fresh tasting and very satisfying.
The portions were generous and we thought the prices were reasonable, given the quality of the food and the amazing service.
The restaurant was recently remodeled and has a really nice, welcoming vibe. We didn't notice the patio until we were eating, but it overlooks the river and looks very nice. After living in the area for a year, we have definitely found our favorite restaurant - can't wait to go back and try...
Read moreI order takeout from here quite often. Drunken noodles 10/10, so good! Always hot and fresh. Crab rangoon - always hot and fresh, too! Gave the thai iced coffee a whirl, wasn't that great. I really wish they would do delivery though!
Update 9/17/22: it seems they have new ownership - updated menus (with higher prices which is understandable given the price of everything has risen), new staff and now they put wide noodles in the drunken noodle.☹️ they didn't reflect this change on the menu so if you haven't ordered in a while - heads up, your old faves may have changed a bit! The guy running the cash register was wicked nice but you can tell the wait staff isn't doing their job and it's falling back on the cashier. When I was waiting for my takeout order, the waiter was standing behind the cashier on his phone. 5 people came to the register from the didning room while i was there. One who had an issue with her food being made incorrectly, one who needed napkins, 2 who just needed takeout containers and another one about getting water. The poor guy up front was doing EVERYTHING! He was very kind, helpful and efficient. However, please hire better waitstaff. The waiter there wasn't doing a good job (or any job it seemed) at all.
Update 1/22/23: No real plates or silverware here and they don't serve you water, there is just a jug of it at the counter up front and you have to go get it yourself. There's no ice in it and I think it's probably just left there for a couple days til someone remembers to change it. This could be a really great place but cutting corners makes it mediocre.
Update 12/5/23: I ordered the fried rice with chicken and it had mushrooms. It doesn't say there are mushrooms in it on the website. Also, the flavor was a little bland despite requesting a...

I will first start by saying i wish i could give less than one star. I brought my fiance, sister and brother in law to this restaraunt and was completly humiliated. I talked them up so much having been there before. Please save your money or atleast give it to a restaraunt that truly wants your business. I hadnt eaten all day due to a crazy schedule. I showed up two hours before I officiated a sporting event for a pregame meal. Little did I know after ordering 4 entrees 2 apps and a bowl of soup it took a half hour to get ONLY a bowl of soup. Long story short we were told our food hadnt been made yet, waited an additional 25 mins to be told it hadnt been started but served one of my guests a plate of food and walked quickly away. Who would enjoy being watched eating? When I went up to the desk to talk to a manager I was told by the staff (after her going to go get the manager and returning assumingly embarrassed due to the look on her face) and stated " she said shes to busy to talk right now." When asked how they expect to compensate the waist of time, humiliation, and hunger we were left with she then says to me "im really sorry sir." What type of manager sends out an employee to deal with a customer complaint. I will say she was atleast kind enough to offer an apology because thats about all I left with. This is honestly the first bad review ive ever written....better yet this is actually my first review ever written and probably never will write another but I want to save anyone else the humiliation I experienced do to people who guinly lack the integrity to run a business . I will never return to...
