Came here recently and had a good experience overall. The food was very good and tasted fresh. Got the Chicken Pad Thai with a large boba and wow, it’s super good. I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu. The atmosphere was alright, nothing super fancy but still comfortable and clean. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made my first time visit even better. Prices were also reasonable for the portions and quality. Overall a solid spot for Thai food.

Excellent lunch specials until 3pm weekdays. Large portions. Drunken noodles and Pad Thai are excellent. All the curries are wonderful. The Red Curry is the best. The large Thai tea is a summer favorite. Prices have changed charging more than needed for protein options, I usually avoid places that do this. Hoping it doesn't go any higher. This place is very good! Everything I have ordered is excellent.

My pad Thai with tofu was absolutely delicious & my hubby loved his shrimp fried rice! The staff that was at the restaurant tonight were really nice & welcoming. Loved that he repeated my order back to me when I called my order in!

I have been coming here since before the pandemic. During the pandemic, this place was my weekly go to and remains a favorite in our household. The food is fantastic and the customer service is wonderful. Prices are reasonable and they are quick to prepare your food! Only downside is the hours can be a little inconvenient but honestly I love this place and recommend it to others all the time! My favorite dish is the Kings Curry or the Panang Curry with sticky rice.

Good portions and fast. A bit over seasoned. Real crab though, but served on a dixie paper plate while dining in. Seems like they cater to take out. Friendly staff.

I was little disappointed with my yellow curry I didn’t like the taste of it . It was too chunky the sauce to be honest . And the flavor was not good

I ordered the Salt and Pepper wings. They were burnt. I hate when places obviously burn your food and just serve it to you anyway. The pic looks lighter due to sunlight but the wings were super dark. I bite into it anyway just to see, and yes, burnt taste. I also ordered the Pad See Eww and it has a weird aftertaste. Not sure how it has 4 stars overall because the flavor of their food is not good. I don't taste any flavoring in the noodles. Barely any veggies in it. Mad I spent $40+. Busy B Thai is the best but unfortunately they're closed for vacation.

Can't really say how the food was. We walked in, sat down and the place was so filthy that is was just gross. Can't see how they can meet sanitation requirements. We walked out. Yuk!

This place used to be a favorite, but we won’t be coming back. It was dirty and far from sanitary. We ordered the lab salad and two curry dishes, but what we saw was shocking. One employee placed rice on a plate that had her personal keys on it. When I asked for a new one, she complied, but then her coworker ate over the fresh plate before serving it to us. Truly disappointing and unsanitary.

Placed order for pickup at 6:30 PM. Food wasn’t served until 6:45 PM. I could’ve gotten over that except Four my orange chicken was terrible. It was very hard and dry And came with zero sauce on the chicken. They put the sauce in a small cup to the side and it was so viscous and watery. It wouldn’t stick to the food. It was like pouring water on overcooked hard chicken. Portions smaller and quality not even close to another neighboring Thai food restaurant. Very disappointed

This is the worst place I’ve ever been to!! The worst costumer service ever!!! The 2 lady’s in the front counter had attitude and were dressed like if they worked at hooters!!! They also had bad attitude and were very rude!! They served us cold eggs rolls twice!!! Like how can you not know how to cook a simple thing!!🙄 I asked for siracha and they said they don’t have that sauce! Like what kind of Thai place doesn’t have siracha!!! Food was very nasty and greasy! No flavor at all!! DONT COME HERE!!!
