Sadly my lunch was pretty bad. The yellow curry was bland and weirdly slimy. It didn’t taste like any Thai curry I have ever tasted, and I am a world traveler. It didn’t have a trace of curry flavor or spice. The server was kind and the restaurant ambience was decent. BUT the restroom was through the dirty kitchen into a horror movie. It was filthy beyond decency and there was no door- only a shower curtain between the kitchen, cooks and me in the filth. I am traumatized.
I found this place by chance today and so pleased I did !
Authentic, delicious, clean tasting food served quickly by the most helpful staff and the menu is delicious !
I loved it and I’ve been to Thailand numerous times to know good Thai food when I find it ! Gracias por todo 🙏🏻

I wish more people knew about this place..a small Thai place with one of the best Thai curry's I've ever had !! You can order via WhatsApp (at least for pickup), and the place is very simple and cozy
Delicious corner spot and one of the best Thai food in the area.
We ordered the Thai fried rice and green curry with a side of habanero chilli sauce - absolutely delicious
Downvoting minus one as the Pad Ke Mao and Pad Se Ew we ordered as takeaway smelt fishy (from too much fish sauce) after reheating it on a stove from the fridge - that's never happened before in any takeaway order.

I was a bit sceptical at first but ended up going here for lunch as I had some cravings. Well, neither I nor my wife were disappointed. Tom Yum soup was pretty authentic. As for PadThai, it was one of the best ones I've had in a while. I'm not a fan of green curry but my wife liked it so we were both satisfied. Will be back to try a few other dishes.
I usually order delivery from this place as a last resort if Mae Thai isn't delivering. It's always been mediocre but the last time I ordered, the food was so bad it didn't even get finished.
The curries are thin and watery, almost like a soup with not a lot flavour. We've ordered all three and they basically have the same flavour. The papaya salad is more expensive than any other Thai place but has the audacity to be a carrot and papaya salad. I've attached a photo to show what a rip-off it is.
The only saving grace here is they somehow manage to make a decent Pad Thai so if you need to order, just get one of those.

I really wanted to like this place and I’m so sad they didn’t come through 😭😭😭 the green curry here was super watery and sweet (like candy). I tried to remedy it with salt but it really wasn’t fixable. I had to trade plates with my husband because the curry made me so sad. The pad kee mow’s flavor profile was more in line with Thailand, but it focused more on the vegetables and there wasn’t a lot of noodles in the dish. Small portion too, so if you’re only eating that, make sure to order an appetizer. We only got these two dishes and I left the restaurant hungry. Maybe their take out is better!
