    The server brought a mistaken order and offered to replace it right away. My business guest’s order was OK, but since he said right away, she decided to wait. It turned out my reorder was placed in the regular line and it was 45 minutes until it showed up. Meanwhile, the server and the manager kept coming by to say it would be just 3 minutes more when, obviously, it wasn’t. Not a good impression, and it took away from this first lunch with an important business associate. She was late getting back for a meeting.

    Amazing experience! From outside walking in, love the classy authentic feel from the decor. Not only is the staff friendly and helpful, they're super attentive. My water glass was never less than halfway empty before they came and refilled it. The food is definitely unique. The taste of Thai food with a twist. I definitely recommend the vegan pad kaprao and the royal crown fried rice. We already had too much food so we didn't get to try the curry but we're sure gonna go back and try!
