This place was incredible, I very much enjoyed everything we ordered, every dish on our table was impressive, being the 3 chili flavor fish, yellow curry, tamarind shrimp, coconut shrimp, mango salad & mango sticky rice. The staff was so kind & patient, & as a growing restaurant they really put so much passion flair & flavor into the food. They didn't shy away from bold & pungent flavors.
Everything was top notch. We really enjoyed our experience. We went on a Friday night & they had a live DJ. We tried the coconut shrimp & chicken satay with peanut sauce to start. For our main course we got the Pad Thai & Pad Kee mao & for dessert we had the mango sticky rice & chocolate lava cake. Everything was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
I had high hopes for this as per the current rating. Service was sliw & inadequate, I had to get up 3 times to get water & or attebtion from waiting staff even though the place was nearly empty. Food was very basic, take out quality street food - bland & no flavors in curry. The rice dish was not good & we both vould not finish it. the mango salad was the only good dish. Really bad experience overall.

As a Thai person, I really enjoyed my experience at this Thai restaurant 🇹🇭!! The staffs are very welcoming & friendly PLUS they spoke Thai, English, & French, which made me feel very welcome & reminded me of home.
The food felt authentic while still being adapted to suit different tastes. We ordered Chicken Satay, Fried Chicken, Chicken Siam Red Curry, Chicken Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce, & a Papaya Salad with 5 chilies that brought the spicy kick I was looking for. For drinks, the Thai Green Tea had a wonderful fresh floral aroma, & the Thai Milk Tea was incredibly smooth & delicious.
To finish, we had Mango Sticky Rice & Thai-Style Roti with Condensed Milk, both of which were excellent.
Great food, friendly service, & a warm atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back!

I think this might be the first time I give 10 out of 10 out of every single thing I tried at a restaurant. I would order every single thing again. Known dishes, executed perfectly. Besides the food, the service was amazing. Such lovely owners! & the restaurant has such a calm atmosphere. It was perfect for us. I am so happy we found this restaurant because we will definitely come back!
Delightful gem! We started with Mango Salad & Chicken Satay skewers - all perfect👌I had the Red Curry Chicken - fantastic with tons of delicious red curry sauce - absolutely perfect! He had the Ona Basil dish - beyond flavorful! Service was outstanding & ambience was beautiful. Highly recommend for a date night - a must try for Thai food lovers.
Really enjoyed this new Thai spot! The Pad Thai had perfectly chewy noodles & was packed with delicious flavor. We ordered the chicken Pad Kra Pao at spice level 2 & it was super tasty with just the right kick.
The mango salad was fresh, sweet, & nicely balanced. To finish, the pandan custard sticky rice was warm & comforting.
