Food was really good — so good I came here 2 times in one week. My dad is Thai and I am leaving to Thailand this weekend, but this restaurant lived up to expectations. The Koong Karee and Beef Pad See Ew were the best. Also, Louis was the sweetest server! Thank you so much for the birthday shots! Their attentiveness was great. - Tanya Ittimeykin
