Food was excellent and lovely service.  My only "con" observation is there was no atmosphere and quite bland decor. Otherwise food was good, fairly priced and nice presentation.

Ordered take out... The Nan Gyi Dok was awesome. Thick rice noodles, rich creamy curry, red onions and more. I'd come back for that dish again.

Good, not great. I thought the food tasted pretty good - the coconut rice was good (3.5/5), the pad thai with chicken (spicy was not that spicy) was decent (3/5), the spicy chicken was better (4/5), and the lettuce wraps were probably the best (4/5).

The wine is 2X retail price, which is reasonable. I thought that they overcharged for a lot of other items, so expect to dish out some money.

What dinged them to 2 stars was the delay in food. For a party of 10, 8 people got their food rather quickly, but 2 people didn't. They stated that it would take another 5 minutes, which means that it was never placed. Also, the waiter was a bit new and young, but did a superb job with our massive party (he panicked quite a bit and forgot to do a few things).

Overall, I don't think I would return here. I might grab some takeout from time to time, but the overall experience was poor.

Great food, warm welcome. Last night was a nice surprise, the samosa was perfect, the tealeaf salad was a good size to share and very tasty, especially with the cabbage. Garlic noodles and fried banana with mango ice cream for dessert. And last but not least, the waitress was very attentive and pleasant. A great evening.
