You can never really go wrong with Thai food. I’ve been to a couple of Thai restaurants in the city and they’re all great but this crab fried rice that I got was the BEST. I love fried rice and seafood! Can’t stop thinking about it. So delicious. Definitely recommend it! My husband really enjoyed what he ordered as well (forgot the name of it tho) Overall, will definitely come back. The service was awesome too.

I live nearby and this is my favorite restaurant. They also have a full bar and decent boba. I love the Pineapple Red Curry and my hubby likes the Yellow Curry. We have gotten takeout, and Dine in. We are so close the delivery isn’t worth it. It’s so good I keep forgetting to stop and take pictures before I dive right in!

We never miss a moment to try a new Thai restaurant. We found one walking distance to our hotel. First off, we placed an order for take out and it was a friendly encounter over the phone. Really quick turn around. It’s always nice to experience how various spots make their version of fried rice. It’s one of our go to dish and it was delicious. We also placed and order of lobster balls and a seafood panang curry, which was creamy and flavorful. Food was amazing, so much so that we forgot to take pictures before we plate them. Decent portions and reasonably priced.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is so warm and cozy! The food was amazing as well. I got the pad thai and it was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of crunch. However, the mango sticky rice is a game changer. I have thought about this mango sticky rice consistently since eating it and I would spend my entire paycheck on it if that were not unreasonable.

Food is great - huge portions, comes out super fast and the food is very flavorful. I loved the khao soy with tofu- better than any I’ve had in Portland! Service is direct and simple. Idk why folks are complaining, I definitely recommend coming here for a meal.
