The staff and restaurant were very inviting. The Thai iced tea was good. The cream cheese rollups were different and were not sweet, but the sauce was. It took a while for our food to come out, but they were also very busy. My daughters pad Thai was good. My dish was not. The brown sauce was thick, almost like pudding. The noodles were thin, wide, and slimy. I had shrimp added to it, and I just couldn't eat really any of it. It was just not a combination of flavors or textures that agreed with me.
Been going for a few years now. Consistent quality across the board. The variety and the amount of food you get is great! I do recommend getting a second small container of white rice if you get any of the curry because you will want more!
What has happened here? The food used to be good. A recent visit was a huge disappointment. My wife’s food was covered in an overly sweet peanut sauce. The beef and broccoli, zucchini and cauliflower were all unseasoned except for the peanut syrup. Her food arrived at our table cold. I ordered the Gaeng Puk which is supposed to be a coconut milk based red curry. It was completely different than I have ever ordered it and had an odd flavor. We have eaten here for years but will not be returning anytime soon.
Don't come here if you actually know what thai food tastes like, and don't mind cheap overly sweetened food because they don't do edible food here. We barely touched 2 dishes (tons of sweetness) but only complained about how overly sugary one dish was. The "cook" or owner stated the dish tastes "the way it should taste and the way it always was". The waitress never refilled water until we asked. The waitress stated she had no idea how the dish should taste and couldn't tell us what Southeast asian food should taste like(even though she works in a thai restaurant). This place does not care about authentic taste or opinions, and you're made to feel that way clearly in our interaction today. Poor excuse of a place. We were the only ones eating in with 2 people who came through takeout ordering generic items like fried rice. This is a sign to stay away. No wonder they don't care to be accurate about thai food. Don't go if you actually know what authentic and edible thai food is. Save yourself some disappointment. They ruined my afternoon and didn't care, leaving me hungry.
Food and service are excellent! I love SPICY food and the constant Minnesota nuisance I have with restaurants saying something is “spicy” and it isn’t at all. They come through with the spice and most definitely flavor :) I’ve never had a meal I didn't love from here. Thank you for being a great place <3
Love the Thai food at this restaurant. Have visited multiple times and have never been disappointed. The service is always excellent and prices are good. Beware that if you order the food spicy, it will be good and hot. My lips were burning a good 30 minutes after finishing, which is the way Thai food should be prepared and the way I like it. They do offer dishes that are not spicy as well.
Restaurant is very clean and has nice booths.

My nephew said that the food was very good, so we decided to give it a try. We order several dishes. Our egg rolls was still pink in the middle, I called the waiter over to let him know that our egg rolls is uncooked. The waiter said that it is cooked, the pink inside the egg rolls is due to the shrimp marinade that they use(part if their ingredients). I cooked with shrimp before and I never have that happen. So we didn't eat the rest if the egg rolls because we do not want to get sick. Overall the food is 4/10. We will not be returning.
The customer service was exceptional. The Tom Yum Soup and Spring Rolls were delicious but the Volcano and Hawaiian chicken were not my favorite. Order the Pad Thai when you come here.
