Good food, quite expensive. Server was aggressive. Suggesting menus that we really did not need making the bill higher.

The instructions is that there is a 15 minute grace period. When we arrived we were the only one’s there and we waited because the host was only person up front and was on a order everything from menu phone order. Once we were seated the server seemed only semi interested in our table. A couple with kids came after us and had their food order and food way before us. We ordered two cocktails which took 20 mins to get. I get it if the place was hoping, there were 5-6 tables on our side of restaurant at time. The food was excellent for sure! We asked about rice, our server told us to remind her to get it for us…. so we had rice. Not a major deal breaker except the service in total was meh.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food—it means a lot to us! However, we’re truly sorry for the delays and lapses in service you encountered. The wait for cocktails and the rice miscommunication aren’t reflective of the attentive and seamless service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it can be, especially when the restaurant wasn’t too busy at the time. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll use it to refine our processes and better support our team during service.

Second time here. Service excellent. Food is anesthetically pleasing and better to the taste buds! One of my top Thai-fusion restaurants in Pasadena. Classy, dimly lit and refreshing restaurant with beautiful outdoor patio seating as well.
