What a gem, worth the hype. Food is bursting with fresh, quality ingredients and flavor.
Ordered the Kai Yang Som Tum (grilled BBQ chicken, papaya salad, sticky rice, toasted rice sauce) and every component was so well executed.
Only call out would be that prices are certainly higher than other casual Thai eateries, but the quality of the food reflects that. Interior of the restaurant, not quite. Fun and festive, but at these prices, I expected a little more. Still 100% worth the visit.

I have been curious about this restaurant for years and just last evening I and four others visited. I was thoroughly disappointed. Food arrived irregularly; it took fifteen minutes from the arrival of the first person's dish to the last. When I queried the wait-person, she angrily barked, 'You wanna cancel?' There was absolutely no effort to expedite. (This despite the reviews for service frequently being negative.) Worse still, the waited-for dish was the same as another person's that had arrived earlier. My barbecued chicken (a staple I've had many many times) was dry, its crust flavorless, its price ridiculously high. The pad thai was one step short of mashy; its yellow color off-putting to say the least. Spring Rolls were fresh enough, but with a doughy exterior that somehow interfered with the vegetable filling. And finally, the noise. Deafening. I'm open to the possibility that (a) it was an off-night and / or (b) we ordered dishes that were not representative of the kitchen's proficiency. But the service, the noise, the overpriced dishes ..... Never again.

Cute spot but dishes came out very oily and noodles undercooked. Very few gluten free options which is odd for a Thai place— especially no gluten free curries. Overall not the best Thai experience in the City.
Awesome option for Thai in the city!
Every dish that we got was hot (temperature), flavourful, and delicious. The drinks were also on point. The desserts deserve a notable mention even though I don't even like desserts...
The service was fast and the bill was quite reasonable.
Well definitely be back!
I'm not in the Bay Area often (just about once or twice a year for work), but this is a classic for me. I've ordered it every time I'm in the area, and once even had it twice in one trip. For 2-3 people, you MUST get their platter (btw I think it might be takeout only, not sure, have never dined in), which comes with a ridiculous amount of food like a little sampler of everything.
The dessert platter was okay, but would not get again. Either way, their normal dinner sampler platter itself is a perfect 5 stars for me. I do, however, miss when the platter was only $100, and it is now $130-ish :(
