Great atmosphere. Good food. Their beef salad has more than just lettuce and cucumbers. They added micro greens to it. Very lovely, tasty, and healthy! Tom Kha was also fragrant. Warning, though... The kitchen staff are Thai. If you're not up to Thai style hot, stay with only three or four stars spicy levels. They really mean it when it comes to spiciness.

I try various Thai restaurants around Dallas, and I always get the pad se ewe with chicken. When I first found this spot, I thought it was the best pad se ewe I had in all of Dallas below $20/plate. (I've never tried any more expensive Thai, if it exists) Each rice noodle had wavy edges and stood out, tall & proud on the plate, as if to say, "pick me, pick me! and don't forget to pick a carrot or broccoli for your bite, too!" In other words, the noodles were not stuck together. I also noticed the dish had a toasted nutty flavor as if the noodles were briefly fried in sesame oil, or maybe it's just an ingredient. Lately, however, they have a young man waiting tables who seems like a nice guy - I wouldn't want to see him get canned over my review - I just think maybe his English isn't that good? I asked for #3 spicy and the plate came out with no spice at all. I was able to request and stir in some spicy sauce myself, though it wasn't as good this way. While the pad se ewe hasn't been as good lately, the veggies are always fresh. I wonder if they have different cooks on different times/days. I like the atmosphere or ambience to the place. It's kinda dark & private. The decor reminds me of my grandma's house - if only she was Thai. It's never super busy at lunch time so it's quiet and you get attentive service.

I honestly dont know how this restaurant has great reviews. Those people probably think McDonalds is 5 star gourmet food. Thai tea was so watered down that it felt like I was just drinking brown water. On top of that, the pad Thai lacked flavor. I tried making making pad Thai because I love it(turned out bad) but at least it tasted better than the pad Thai here. I promise you that if you give me a recipe and $30 Ill make pad Thai better than here, period.

Always a pleasant experience with great service and delicious, fresh food. Particularly like the items on the menu with duck Over the past two years, we've eaten just about half of what is on the menu and don't have anything we wouldn't recommend

The food is very delicious and the service is great!  We had the yellow curry, fried rice, and egg rolls.My only complaint is that our bill came and it included a 20% tip already; there were only three in our party.  It was not clear that it was included because the bill was not itemized.  I had to ask for an itemized bill.
