    Truly one of the top 3 experiences at this restaurant. I feel like we had a private chef today vs the normal “lunch rush”. Food was beautifully plated and flavors were outstanding. My guest was delighted and surprised by the meal and appreciating the clearly marked gluten free options on the menu.

    There were 4 of us and we ordered 4 different entrees and shared. Each one was better than the one before it! We also ordered an appetizer -- Crab Ragoon. Outstanding. We don't like really hot (spicy food) so we chose the 2 level. It was a little mild and next time we will try the 3 level but the entire experience could not have been better.

    The food was as great as we remembered. Unfortunately they are going through an ownership change. So they weren’t serving any alcoholic beverages.

    Hi Peter - thank you for dining with us - we had to update management personnel on our liquor license and was down a few days while we resubmitted paperwork to the licensing authorities. We are serving liquor, beer and wine again and would love to have you back in.

    Didn’t receive the notification about not having a liquor license at this time. When seated and we decided to order to go, the waitress was not very hospitable. The food was excellent and enjoyed

    If I could rate this a 0 out of 5 I would. We were beyond disappointed and sadly enough it was a very special occasion. The last time I ate here was probably 10 years ago and my memory was wonderful. It had some ambiance, the food was great and the only reason I hadn’t been back was because I moved to Texas for a decade. I asked the server if it changed ownership and sure enough it did. It was my sisters 35th bday on the day—March 11th. I wanted a nice Thai restaurant as Thai is her favorite food. We would have been better off with take out from Panda Express. Absolutely awful and we will never go back. We wanted to celebrate her special birthday with some wine and NOPE, they lost their liquor license so no wine was served. Our reservation was at 7:15pm. By the time we ordered it was 7:45pm because our server was nonexistent. The tables were squashed next to one another. The server completely ignored us the entire time. I was so thirsty for some water and couldn’t flag her down to save my life. The restaurant closed at 8pm about 2 minutes after our food came. They forgot our rice, and 2 of our entrees. She forgot to put the orders in so they “made it on the fly”. It was like mushy steamed rice with no flavor, gross veggies, and tasted as if it was put in a microwave from a bagged grocery store $2 frozen food section. My sister ordered a curry with spice level 2. It had zero spice. She asked for some spice on the side. It came out about 15 minutes after. The lights were so bright like fluorescent in a cafeteria. As soon as our food came the restaurant was empty and the server told us they were closed. She was in the back rolling silverware so we couldn’t even get anything like soy sauce or a spoon or more water. It smelled like bleach from cleaning which should be done after diners are gone. I bought gifts and crumbl cookies to make a wish for my sister and since the restaurant was closed it was too awkward to celebrate. NEVER go back. Horrible.

    Service was great, but losing your liquor license is odd. The food wasn’t up to standard of years past. The curry was watery and I’ve never seen stir fry watery but this one was. The rice which you order separately was only partially filled. Something has happened and they need a good chef that actually knows how to cook Thai!
