“ We showed up the day after Thanksgiving having never experienced Thai food before. We ordered three appetizers and 6 entrees and two soups for our table of 5. We wanted to try different dishes. EVERY SINGLE ITEM WAS AMAZING. the flavor and different levels of spicy, sweet, salty were perfectly balanced. The spring rolls were so good. My favorite was the coconut soup and the tiger eye steak. We will definitely be back. Our server was very patient and gave suggestions, she asked questions on the types of food we like to help us choose the best experience. This little place looks like it’s tucked away, but very inviting and comfortable... and VERY CLEAN. we will be back, for sure! ”
