  I have never written a review but I had too because we go almost every week it’s just so good. It’s worth to check out, you won’t be disappointed. Their panag curry is so creamy, and their papaya salad is something I dream about. I’m very picky with my papaya salad too, this is the best one in OC. Overall, best Thai food hands down. This time, I got their ginger chicken, it was so juicy and flavorful with beautifully julienned sliced ginger. The vegetables aren’t overcooked or underdone just perfect. My friend loved her garlic black pepper shrimp, the underrated part of the dish was the garlic topping on the cabbage with a little sauce-very succulent. My other friend got the cashew nut shrimp and said it hit the spot too. Also, we shared the tom yum which was so soothing from the lemongrass and the lime flavor makes it very bright and tangy. We ended the dinner with a scoop of coconut ice cream which was creamy, dreamy, and had a great crunch from the peanut topping. Service is top tier and they are very welcoming. Atmosphere is a vibe. It’s just a local hole in the wall place serving authentic cuisine.

  This is a wonderful hole-in-the-wall for good comfort Thai food. The woman who served me was very friendly and accommodating. It didn't take long to get the food, which was very nice. I had the crab wontons with a nice sauce as an appetizer, and yellow curry with jasmine rice as the meal. The server gave me the option of 1-5 for spiciness. I chose 1 since I'm not great with spicy food. It was perfect. It made my nose sniffle a little, but was delicious. I'm glad I decided to give this little shop a try.

  FANTASTIC Thai cuisine. We ordered chicken satay, salad rolls, Tom yum soup, and drunken noodles. Everything pleased. Owner Uma was so pleasant to speak with about her life in Bangkok and her experience taking over the restaurant in 2023. Can't wait to come back to my new favorite Thai spot!
