Well, I ordered to go & after tasting Thai food from all over the US, I was very disappointed! When I phoned in my ordered the girl said "they are swamped" & "that it would be a 1 1/2 hour wait till it would be ready" I told her that was fine. As I was driving there (I still had 30 min left) my phone rang with the girl asking if I was picking my food up, cause its ready, I told her I was on my way. The place was nice & quiet as there were only 2 couples dining. I went to the counter to pay, the girl said, "it was $72." I said "it must be some good food for that price!" figuring Id check it out at home. the bag looked awful small to me! It had to be the most tasteless Thai food I have ever had! It was very greasy & everything tasted the same! For 2 people I ordered, shrimp pad Thai, pork pad Thai, 2 chicken satay (they didnt have beef) & a pineapple fried rice. Even the peanut sauce wasnt right, it was runny & seemed watered down, normally they would ask how spicy would you like it, not here, everything was the same, burn your mouth hot! I was so let down, I felt so ripped off! Needless to say, I wont be coming back! Much too spicy & pricy for me! For that price my dinner should have come with a date!!

What a pleasant surprise. Tucked away in a corner of a shopping sits this little gem. Wonderful food with good services and the nicest sweetest owner. The spring rolls are worth the trip. Lettuce wrapped with your choice of meat with a marvelous peanut sauce. My sweet and sour tofu and vegetables was just right. Tofu prepared correctly not tough or chewy. My wifes pineapple fried rice was excellent. Well worth the visit!!

Excellent. I ordered to go and had to wait a bit, though they were only off about 5 min from the time they estimated. More important, the food was fresh, hot and yummy. We had the broccoli beef, sweet and sour chicken, pad Thai, fried rice and green curry. Most standout was the curry and rice. My picky parents loved everything. Wish I had a go to like this in SF where I live.

Had the Thai Spicy Calamari plate and boy did it burn my mouth in a good way. Very delicious and fresh. The Thai Ice Coffee was a sweet lil treat, even if you dont like coffee Id recommend getting it. The hostess was very charming and seems to really care about her customers. Glad I went there for dinner. Definitely would come back.

My boyfriend and I love this place and eat here every other week! The serving staff is friendly and attentive. The food is tasty and authentic. That restaurant is clean, quaint, and relaxed. Their hours are limited, but well worth it. Both sit in and take out - I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the mood for Thai food!

Wonderful little Thai restaurant tucked next to Safeway in Arcata. The service was spot on and the food was excellent with quite a variety of options. I went with my Vegan friend who had no problem finding many different items on the menu to try. Go here if you have a craving for some good Thai.

Absolutely delightful place. Small, fairly quiet and they arent afraid to bring the heat when you order a dish Thai spicy. Authentic flavors, great service, and rad people. This place is a must if you are a Thai food freak like me. The Curry is killer!

friendly service. i had the pad se yew (dont know correct spelling) and it was completely flavorless. I had to drench it in sweet and sour sauce so It can be edible for my taste. the pineapple fried rice was good as well as the tempura veg appetizer.

Fresh cucumber, lemon and mint water is just one of the attentive details of dining here. Fresh "spring" rolls, were nice and crunchy, topped with a wonderful peanut sauce. Padd thai was made spicy to taste with a perfect balance of veggies and tofu

I mean...if you just cant go another day without some thai food, then go for it. The foods not bad. But for the price of a dinner and a beer, you could honestly go grocery shopping. Its not even close to being THAT good.

Had the spring rolls as an appetizer and mild green curry as a main course. Both dishes had fresh ingredients that were filled with flavor. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, decor and music. Loved it.

Even though it is small and in the corner, trust it! Some of the best food in Arcata and very authentic. Cute, cozy, and a really good place for a date.

Somewhat over priced for a decent meal, and the service is scrambled. Feels like a younger business, but definitely worth a stop at least once.
