Oh, what a delightful little nook! Delish food and the sweetest service! The spicy eggplant was just the treat my taste buds craved. It's all hush-hush and tranquil here.
Convenient location. Clean and cozy place. Good service. Delicious food. Fare prices. Definitely will come again.

I was in from out of town and craving thai. This was fabulous! I had the vegetable spring rolls with prawns and the massaman lamb curry. The vegetable rolls (spring) were fresh and delicious with a warm peanut sauce and the curry flavor was rich. I ordered my food to go, and the curry didn't come with rice, which I wasn't used to. But no matter. It was all delicious and I highly recomend.
Best Thai place I’ve ever been to. Been going here since I was a little kid, and I’m so glad they’re still around and thriving. Highly recommend! 10/10
The best local restaurant I've been to recently. Tiny place on the outside but once inside I felt like I was in Thailand. The food was amazing, highly recommend. 10/10
Absolutely delicious!!! I highly recommend them!! The flavor is so great. Their curries are fantastic. We will be back!
I've been eating here for decades! Always a wonderful meal. Really great dishes that feel like home-style Thai cooking. The curries and noodle dishes are delicious and packed with flavor. More than just a neighborhood joint, this is a great spot for getting amazing Thai food. Recommended: spicy eggplant (if you ask for spicy be careful!), pad see ew, and pumpkin curry. Thanks Tub Tim!
This restaurant is a delight. It is small and quiet so we can both talk and hear. It is run by the father, the mother cooks and the daughters wait tables. We are particularly fond of the 'spicy egg plant which is cooked to perfection. We also recommend the lamb and the shrimp fresh spring rolls.
Great service. Very nice and caring people. The hostess speaks very good English, and accommodated my Vegan meal and even accommodated my request for them to add some extra ginger to my entree. Fast like usual and open a little bit later. Thank you so much :-)
I love this place for a quick in and out lunch. It's not busy, so food is on your table in like 6 minutes. It's fine for dinner too, but this is my go-to place for lunch. Been here forever; tasty and predictable.
One of the best Thai food we had in a long time in Bay Area! A must must try place. Very cozy and authentic.

Just discovered this place. My family is pretty picky with food, and I lived in SEA for many years, but we all really enjoyed it. It was also very fast service.

Small, simple place, pretty good food. Decent prices but very small portions (see pic, I had already eaten some of the shrimp). Husband ordered the green curry pork, they brought out red curry and was a little argumentative with my husband insisting he ordered the res rather than just bringing out the green. Once we directly asked, they brought out the green. He got medium spice which was definitely on the hot side for sure, lots of generous basil. I ordered “prawns@ which were actually just shrimp (medium to large sized but definitely not prawns). Friendly staff besides the grapple about the red/green. Food came out fast. I’m a smaller person and felt the food portion was perfect for me but if I were very hungry when I got here I would’ve been disappointed and had to order more food.
Small place but offers good tasty food and fast service. Had Pad Krapow and its great. Just what what I needed for lunch. Forgot to snap a pic since I'm hungry and food's tasty.

Picked this place somewhat randomly for lunch after a morning at Muir Woods. We arrived about 12:30p on a holiday Monday. Parking in the shopping center lot was easy and there were plenty of tables available. We were quite pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. We had Siam rolls, chicken satay, spicy eggplant with tofu, and pad thai. All were good - I think the highlights were the rolls and the eggplant. In addition, the meal was very reasonably priced. We would definitely consider going back the next time we're in the area.

Taste is good, entree portions are very small, noodles bigger but very greasy
Not a good idea to eat food here If it's s hot day like today. Food was ok but not great

The pumpkin in the pumpkin curry was actually raw. The sauce was broken and mediocre taste. The basil hadn't been chopped at all, so it was bunches that were hard to eat. Overall, either very hurried or little effort put into it. Service was good.

Worst Thai food I ever tasted. Only mushrooms and chicken in the Tom Yum Chicken, with few seasonings even though I ordered medium spicy. Not worth trying.

No, this is NOT a Thai restaurant. They clearly don’t know what Thai food is supposed to be. I ordered spicy Pad Thai, and it was nothing like the real thing—just vermicelli noodles with a bland sauce. For “spicy,” they simply dumped red pepper on top instead of making the sauce actually spicy. Most places use Sriracha or chili sauce—not this mess. The type of noodle was totally off, too. This place only stays in business because it’s in Marin County. If it were anywhere with a real Asian food scene, it wouldn’t last. I love Thai food, and this was the worst I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t even call it Thai food.
Worst thai food I've ever had. The Pad Kee Mao tasted like nothing. It was like Chinese food, chow fun, with no seasoning. I took it back and asked if they put oyster sauce, fish sauce or thai basil in it. They tried to fix it, and it was still not real thai food. It hurt my stomach for 2 days.
