Man let me tell you, I was celebrating getting married, and they took the best care of us. This place was amazing. I forgot the name of the manager and the host but they were sooo nice. The servers and runners were very professional and informative. This is some of the best Thai cuisine I've ever had. The presentation is very artistic, very elegant. The food is some of the best in houston. They have affordable pricing, with great portion sizes, and free parking. This restaurant deserves 10 stars. Thank you Makiin!!!!

We had a great experience. It was my mother's birthday and this is the third year in a row that we celebrate there. They have a duet who plays the Arp and the guitar and they send Happy Birthday to my mom. The food is really good authentic.
