This restaurant is an interesting concept, as it offers Thai cuisine in a traditional American diner. The owner bought the place about 15 years ago, so it's well-established in the community. They have a very large menu--probably the biggest of any local Thai restaurant I've been to.

Like 8 minutes later I had a steaming plate of fresh basil leaves and the widest noodles I have ever seen... sweet jesus. Amazing place. Entree plates are around $15, my 'special' was $16.50, and it was worth every penny.
