My first clue to leave was when, upon entering, the waiter was standing at the only table in the joint eating a jelly sandwich on white bread. Next, when we ordered a roast pork appetizer, which is served with peanut sauce, the jelly-eating waiter came back out of the kitchen stating, "Do you guys usually eat that with peanut sauce, cuz were out." A Thai restaurant with no peanut sauce. Finally, I ordered Massaman curry and my husband pad Thai, both with chicken. The pad Thai came out reeking of fish sauce and the curry, traditionally in a rich, spicy sauce of a thick consistency, came out in a thin, watery, oily sauce with a ton of Bay leaf and a decidedly bitter aftertaste, no lovely aroma of cardamom and the potatoes were of a grayish hue. In both dishes, the chicken seemed to be an afterthought. Having tried just 3 bites, I sent mine back, my appetite lost. My husband ate most of his pad Thai, though I cannot tell you why other than in his case hunger trumped flavor. Upon receiving the bill, my barely touched curry was still included!! When asking Mr. Jelly Sandwich why, he retorted, "You ordered it," and I responded that I sent it back, quite dissatisfied. I was told that was "too bad, I cant put the curry back in the jar." Again, I explained my dissatisfaction with the dish; again I was told,."too bad, you ordered it." So I took matter into my own hands. Having heard another diner who came in after me order the same terrible curry, I announced in a loud voice that he had made a mistake, the Massaman was horrible. That diner immediately changed his order and a woman came out of the kitchen, telling the waiter to go ahead and take it off. Squeaky wheels always get greased and this wheel was not going to pay for something that A. I didnt eat, and B. I couldnt eat. We will not be returning and suggest you stay away from this place as well...far away.

I recently had the pleasure of eating here, and while originally skeptical because of "Gaijin" hot & spicy places, I found out that "Tai Spicy" here means just that. I started off with Tom yum gai (Tai Soup) that arrived in a large deep bowl and had large pieces of chicken, halves of mushrooms, bamboo and a clear, spicy but tasty "Tai hot" broth, and I think the Pad kee mao sen lek (drunken noodles) at "Tai hot" too. It was a large serving with good overall flavor and enough spice to bring a sweat to my brow, and as my tablemate will attest for a guy who eats stuffed habenero peppers for a snack, my iron gut can take alot! We got a chance to meet and talk with the owner and chef who revealed that she cultivates and grows most of the spices and vegetables that go into her cooking. A must recommend and a new favorite "hidden off the beaten path" restaurant, located with easy access to I-64 without the noise of 64!

Absolutely Amazing! If you dont like this, then stop being a sissy and order your food spicy. Thai food is meant to have spice. You want bland, go to McDonalds. The staff is super friendly, and always willing to help. The food is awesome. I have been eating here for about 5 years now, and eat almost everything with medium spice. I do have hot spice from time to time, but medium is a happy middle. Your wont be sorry you went. Cashew Nut Chicken is the best thing on the menu, but everything else is good too. GREAT JOB Gah Bua Kham!!!

This Place WILL rock your taste buds... doesnt look like it but it will!!!!!!

Was really siked to find a local thai restaurant that had such great reviews. Please dont be fooled, like I was. I ordered two meals for my wife and I, (massaman curry and cashew chicken). Both meals were way too salty! To the point that they were inedible. I wish I lived closer to the place so I could have taken them back but I couldnt of been bothered. We ended up eating PB + J sandwiches instead. DONT EAT AT THIS PLACE!

There is always a line of customers in the morning, however it moves pretty well while your mouth waters from the wonderful smells wafting outside. Friendly, homey atmosphere and attentive waitstaff makes you quite comfortable immediately. Once you peruse the extensive menue, the choices are difficult. Their country dishes are wonderful and plentyful. The table groans with all the sides...

This is truly one of the best Thai restaurants Ive had the pleasure to dine. I had a cashew and chicken dish that was outstanding. The peppers and onions were cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy. It was spicy but not overbearing. Im just sorry I dont live around here so that I could eat here more often.

I love this place! The staff is very friendly and remembers me every time I go in... not that I am there all the time, but I got at least once a month or so. The food is great! Be careful because a 2-star pad thai is super spicy, but the staff will tell you that too!!! The Thai tea here is awesome as well!

Ms. Kim is amazing! After only going twice, we were greeted by name and continue to receive "one on one" attention, regarless of how busy it is, to include spectacular menu suggestions and alterations. You will not find a better Thai restaurant in the area!

One of the better Thai place in the area with authentic dishes and very friendly hosts. Unique atmosphere with traditional decor and bench seating around the dining room. A small place yet never too busy to accommodate small groups. A well kept secret.

We love county grill. We order out a lot from them. Generous portions and a local place. Plenty of beer on tap as well. The BBQ plates are very generous and prices are fair. The wait staff are super friendly and they are military friendly.

We are a business in Atlanta GA and we are getting a dozen calls from this restaurants phone number. I have called back and all I get is a busy signal. I have reported this # on the Do Not Call List and still getting calls.

Pad thai noodle was good. The dessert mango rice was below average. The sticky rice was overcooked and portion of mango was small and coconut milk was so less that it felt like we were eating boiled rice.
