We dined at this restaurant for valentines and we really enjoyed it. The food was top quality Thai food. We got Thai green and red curry and pad Thai they were delicious. A wide variety of food options on the menu. You will be seated very close to other tables is the only dislike about this place. Very busy place. Would recommend.
