I’m currently staying at a Marriott Club Hotel, and based on their recommendation, I decided to try this restaurant with high expectations, especially given their description of it being the 'best of the best' Thai food. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite. The chicken I had was greasy and undercooked, which was really disappointing. Additionally, the pineapple fried rice, which is one of my favorite Thai dishes, lacked flavor. The pineapple wasn’t grilled as it usually is, and the rice was overly greasy. I won’t be returning and would suggest taking the hotel's recommendation with a grain of salt."

Came here for dinner with a good friend of mine! I got their duck curry which was pretty good, just slightly too salty for me but overall the flavor is so good. Love the pineapples and slices of tomato in it too!

My friend got one of their fried rices, I tried a little bit of it and thought it was really good as well!

Ordered online and came around the time they estimated. It was off by maybe 5 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It was a bit narrow so awkward to stand to wait inside. Despite how busy they were, they were very courteous. Food was overall good and I’d order take out again if in the area.

For someone who grew up in a Thai restaurant, I'm rather critical about the ones I try. I've been here twice; the first time for Thai iced coffee (a delicacy in the states) and the second to try the food. I ordered the Duck red curry with brown rice on the side, the bf got duck fried rice, and we shared angel wings as an appetizer. The food was hot, perfectly spiced, though they also provided classic Thai condiments on the side (I used the Thai chili in fish sauce for my curry, and suggested the jalapeno in vinegar to my bfs dish). We cleaned off the wings, perfectly crispy, sweet and savory, and the sauce, while not what I'm used to from my parents place, was still incredible, I could have drank the rest. The curry was wonderful, though I wish they added spinach to it, but the pineapples and red bell peppers were perfect. The fried rice was plain looking, but really quite nice. I would have added the angel wing sauce to the rice, personally, but the over flavors were gentle but still present. I wish we could have tried the roti dessert, as that's also hard to find in my experience. Most things here taste like what I recall from my childhood, and that's a huge deal to me. I will be returning to bring my family and see what they think. If you're looking for solid Thai food, this is an amazing choice.

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! Thai food is already so good with all the flavors but I’m sad I don’t live closer to this place bc it’s so good. My husband would come here when he was younger for the crab fried rice, which we ordered because I needed to try it. But we also ordered the larb, fried herb fish, yellow curry with pork, stuffed eggplants and the Thai tea. Literally all of it was so good and I’m salivating just thinking about the food. If our stomachs were bigger I probably would have ordered the noodle soup dishes and a fried noodle dish, but maybe next time..however long away that is 🥲
