Excellent, friendly service, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere. I would make reservations for Friday and Saturday dinner because we went on a Sunday night and it was still half filled. Pro tip: when they say mild, medium, or hot, they mean it. If you're not into spicy, get the mild. If you're into spicy 🔥 you're going to be happy.
Excellent food and service. Loved the papaya salad and big plate, especially. Will definitely be back!
The food was tasty. The dishes are pretty big sized. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food they serve. Kids friendly, but some kids were at the restaurant playing and a bit loud, and the staff looked irritated and even told them not to misbehave. Parking is available, but can be limited depending on the time and the day
My waiter Art, was very nice and patient. I just wanted Jasmine rice with BBQ pork but it wasn't an option. Art was able to help me figure out what I could trade out to make the meal I wanted. It was very delicious and I really enjoyed it. Art was very helpful and made this experience really nice.
Busy and clean Thai-Pan-Asian eatery with quick service and delicious menu options.
We ordered:
1. Tom yum soup
2. Wonton Soup
3. Crab Rangoon
4. Basil fried rice w/beef
5. Thai noodles with shrimp
6. Curry
7. Salad
We made a reservation for the same day and glad we did as the place is busy with dine in customers and pick up orders. They do accept walk ins given they have space.
Food is fresh and they do have a drinks menu with limited selection of beers.

My first time dining here. I ordered the pad see ew which was a bit bland for me, so they brought me some peanut sauce, which made it better. The food was cooked perfectly, and the cucumber salad was delicious.
I can't wait to return and try the curry!

Excellent Thai food. This place has the most delicious Thai in the Northwest suburbs. Over the years, I ate a lot of Asian cuisine and this one is authentic and spot on with flavors. Spice runs hot, so if you are not spicy I suggest mild or non spicy dishes.
PAD THAI - 8/10 not much chicken on it. It was delicious and not too dry unlike the other pad thai.
PANANG CURRY - 9/10 very delicious dish. Chicken was tender and the spicy level was on point! I just wish there’s more chicken on it but overall it was good!
WANTON SOUP W/DUCK - 8/10 Hot and delicious perfect for the weather. Wanton was so good but too small. Egg noodles were thin and soft, really good. Duck was tender. I am not fan of the greens on top. Maybe I’ll ask not to add that next time but overall it was good.
MANGO WITH STICKY RICE - 10/10 When we first came here the mango that was serve to us was a bit sour. Today, mango served to us was sweet much better than last time. Sticky rice was soooo good! This dessert was a bomb! I came back because of this and never disappoint the second time around.
TARO CUSTARD - 9/10 It was delicious!! Not too sweet, soft and melts in your mouth. Serving was just too small.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE - 10/10 we came here twice already for lunch and we always leave this restaurant satisfied! They also have Lunch specials from 11:30am to 3pm with complimentary appetizers of your choice. We chose Tom Yum Soup, Spinach Soup (small cup) and Pot Stickers (2 per serving) and it was good! Quality is still there even if its just a complimentary.
💯 Highly recommend!
