From the moment my partner and I walked in until we left, we were totally impressed. The decor and ambiance is beautiful, the server we had was polite, quick, and attentive, and the food was phenomenal!!! We ordered the wonton soup for an appetizer and WOW! It has to be my favorite thing so far. There were little chunks of fresh garlic that you could actually see in the soup -- so delicious. The jasmine tea is nice, as well. For dinner, he ordered the pad Thai and I ordered pad se ew -- both were awesome. The plates all come with a "spicy plate" which has sauces you can add to make your dish hotter, if you wish. One jar has red pepper, another has jalapeños, one has a great smoky and savory tomato paste based (?) spice, and the fourth has a pepper infused oil, which isnt too spicy and has a nice flavor. There are five different levels of hotness that you can choose from for your dish: mild, medium, hot, Thai hot, and super Thai hot. My boyfriend is Mexican and I love spicy food, and we both ordered our food just hot -- just in case. Good thing, too! The hot is definitely hot enough to make you take a sip of water and will clear your sinuses. ;) For dessert we tried the fried donuts and the coconut ice cream with fried banana coins. The donuts are good, but the real star was the ice cream! It is sprinkled with sesame seeds and drizzled with honey -- its delicious! Very light, not too sweet, and the flavors really work well together. The banana coins are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and they taste very good with the coconut ice cream. My boyfriend said to include that everything seemed very fresh, had a great flavor, and there was lots of variety. He also agreed that the waitress was wonderful. This will definitely be a repeat venue for us!!

Came in with my wife to celebrate Fathers Day, looking for some good Thai food, and became moderately excited by reading a few of the reviews. We ordered the red and green curry chicken lunch specials, which came with soup of the day (rice and spinach soup) and the appetizer of the day (fried gyoza with glaze), as well as ordering Tom Yum Chicken and Tom Kha Chicken soup bowls to eat before the entrees. The gyoza and the rice soup came first, and were delicious. I especially love the chicken broth with chopped garlic which provided some fantastic savory flavor. Not long after, the Tom Kha and the Tom Yum came out, and their flavors did not disappoint. Aside from needing to cut the chicken and vegetables in my soup with my spoon before every bite, I thought it was delicious. Up until this moment, just about everything in this experience was great. But then our Curry came to the table, and it immediately looked different than what we were expecting. It was a thicker, oilier, and oddly colored version of the red and green currys that we usually ate at other restaurants and at home. My wifes comment on its consistency is pretty spot on, that it reminds her of gravy. The flavor was off too, enough that we knew that we wouldnt be able enjoy this meal if we ate it. I definitely wouldnt call this authentic flavor. This doesnt happen too often, but we requested a refund on the two curry dishes, and we also were sure to give a good tip off the original total to the patient waitress that helped to make us happy. TL;DR - would recommend the fried gyoza, the rice and spinach soup, the Tom Kha and the Tom Yum. Service is good. Would not recommend any curry dishes.

This is a bad restaurant. Walking in to the restaurant was nice, seeing lots of people, I expected a good experience. I was way off. When we got our appetizer (chicken satay), I enjoyed it, and the lady said our entrees would be right out. It came 20 minutes later. And when we got it, only one of us got our food out of a party of three. Five minutes later, our food came. The food was in very small portions, and I didnt think my Amazing Chicken was that amazing. The food wasnt authentic at all, because real Thai food is way better and spicier. But the real problem was when one of us found a long strand of hair in their Drunken Fried Rice with chicken. So the waitress said sorry, and she said she would give him another order of the same food. When it came back, the fried rice had shrimp and beef, while he only ordered a chicken fried rice. When he found out, we just decided to leave, and he was so mad that they messed up two times. The service wasnt even good. They said "Sorry,sorry" as if they were a broken record. Just please dont come to this restarant.

Ive eaten at this local place at least 10 times. The food is good as are the prices. On August 4th I walked in and there was a woman with two working dogs (like the kind blind people use). The owner of the dogs, a young woman, was a guide dog trainer. The owner of the restaraunt was not happy about the dogs in the restaraunt and insisted the woman leave! The woman had ID with her and the dogs were clearly maked as guide dogs but the owner would not budge. I asked to speak to the owner. The owner was "too busy" to speak to me. I left the restaraunt. It is a 2nd degree Federal felony to refuse a guide dog in a public place. Im still in shock the way the owner treated this woman.

I love food but Im picky. I miss asian restaurant in Europe, Yeah I know ,weird. Its hard to find clean and authentic asian restaurant here in FL that is also affordable. I love their lunch menu, every time I try something new, I come home satisfied and thinking I have new favorite menu. They have this soup and dumpling and oh boy the dumpling sauce! Although I must admit I hate he fact that as a vegetarian, I ate one of the dim sum but my stomach took it all in. Next time I know better. The last time we went there was yesterday and bec I love their food, I also ate my hubbys.. and Im planning to bring a friend over there this week. Yes sounds like every week.. you bet.

Food was excellent, however there was a large piece of a broken mussel shell in the spicy mussel roll that my mom was eating, she could have gotten seriously hurt and the manager offered a WATER to compensate for it! Then our waitress disappears on us and were waiting a while before another waitress is able to come and give us our check only to find out our first waitress went onto break without even informing us that another waitress was going to be tending to us. Not happy with the service, will not be returning, even if the food is good.

Staff not very friendly towards special requests. Menu is priced wrong, they give you two menus with different prices and they charge you the highest price. When addressed staff argues and if not for an apparent manager stepping in they refuse to budge. When they reluctantly honor the lower price they warn you that next time you will be charged higher price. This couldve been handled better, I realize the language barrier but it was handled poorly. Will not return.
