The first impression is always usually an indication: the interior, the employees, how many people, etc. When we first entered, my first impression was "this place is nice!". The "booths" are connected low benches, nicely laid out making for a bright comfortable and fun experience all wrapped in a Thai aesthetic. The staff: very friendly and attentive. The patrons? Somewhat empty at first but then by the time we were leaving, pretty full. All good signs. I ordered the Pad Thai - yes, the tried and true staple but thats what I wanted and its a great dish to set the tone at the Thai place right? My friend had Satay. The portion was large and it was pretty good. It lacked a little punch from what Im used to but they may be catering to the local clientele: Mill Valley and Tiburon. Need I say more (now, before you go wagging your finger at me, I live in Mill Valley and throwing myself into that "not too spicy please" white man syndrome). Ill visit again and up my star rating after getting a few more dishes under my belt (literally).

Ordered Beef Salad and the Hot Basil with Calamari. Both were terrific texture, flavor, presentation and portion size at a reasonable price. Miang Kam appetizer came with excellent fresh ingredients as well. Thai Iced tea was as good as any Ive had, tho ill admit to never really detecting a difference between different restaurants. Only downside was feeling rushed to pay and leave despite being there less than an hour and with no shortage of available seating in the restaurant. The food was top notch, regardless.

I was told that Thep Lela was the best Thai food in Marin so I took the wife there for dinner. Food was good but not the best I have had. In fact; it doesnt compare to Arun Thai in Novato. That aside, the service was a real turnoff. Very rude staff (waitress and hostess) who interrupted the meal at the absolute worst times with condescending tones. To top it off, I was swatting at gnats that were flying around the dining area. Next time we go to Arun!

This is a really great restaurant. It may not be authentic Thai, but it is absolutely delicious anyway. The ambiance is wonderful and the decorations beautiful. The hot thai tea is a must try. Has good vegetarian options, and it is always a very relaxing, rewarding meal. I have eaten there many plans, and I have plans for many more.

This restaurant is pretty well known for the area, for basically being the only full service Thai food restaurant. The food is decent and so is the service, so I would recommend giving it a try if you want to try some Thai food. There is plenty of nearby parking and there usually isnt a wait.

Always enjoy eating here on our way back from San Francisco to El Dorado Hills. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, the menu has good variety and the food is flavorful. We had the Duck Curry tonight with brown rice - it was delicious.

Quiet little place. Youre not likely to stumble over it. Saw good reviews and took a chance. Great food, eggplant and pork was a 10! Their brown rice is unlike any Ive tried. Give them a try and you wont be disappointed.

Good, but not as good and smaller portions since moved into new place in Strawberry Village and split with a group of employees who moved over to RNoh Thai in Larkspur.

Favorite Thai food in Marin. Praram curry is so good! Staff is polite but a tad removed.
