Always a good place to have lunch and dinner or take out. The dishes are all very flavorful and presented well. I think we waited for a out 15 minutes for food to come to the table. Very nice service and welcoming. I definitely need to come back and try new and different plates.

Thai sausages are a hit. The mild som tum is spicy for your average joe. If you want thai food I would recommend it to anyone.
