Once you get past that initial moment, though, the experience completely transforms. Relax into it. The food is extraordinary, and when it started coming out, the pacing was actually quite good. Every dish was layered with incredible flavor, and the prawns were truly the standout—easily the highlight of the night.
What you’re trading here isn’t quality for chaos; you’re trading polished, assembly-line service for authenticity and warmth. The owner came by our table multiple times to talk about her food, her life, and to thank us personally. That kind of care and presence is rare.
This is not Americanized Thai food drowned in sweetness. It’s vibrant, thoughtful cooking—light, healthy, full of vegetables, spices, and balance. If you’re willing to accept that the service may be imperfect in favor of something real and deeply personal, you’ll be rewarded with a truly wonderful meal.

I came here for dinner this past weekend and the service was excellent. Staff is super friendly and diligent. You have the option of 3 or 5 course menu. We did the 5 course one and I really enjoyed their starter options. The spicy rice and tofu salad wasn't that spicy but still flavorful. I saw the entrée mentioned "award winning chicken curry" so I of course wanted to try it. I was a little disappointed. It tasted good but it wasn't the best I have ever had either. For the price point I assumed it would be a bit different. I assume maybe the flavor is accommodating towards individuals who might not be able to handle SE Asian spices. I would probably ask for it to be a little hotter but that's certainly my preference. I would come back here again but maybe try a different entrée. The mango sticky rice and mushroom soup were probably my favorite on the menu.

This was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! They recommended the family style tasting menu and we got to try each dish on the menu! Chef Patti personally came out to explain each dish and the food was prepared with so much care.
She was kind enough to keep the restaurant open for us to finish our meal and there was plenty of food for our entire party of 10! We can't wait to come back again!
