    Delicious all around. I’m always hesitant when restaurants have a large menu but we were delightfully surprised. Yellow Curry, Pad Thai, Tom Kha and Miso Shrimp Udon soup and mango sticky rice- all delicious! Service was great. We chatted with the owner as we left and he was a delight as well. Can’t wait to come back! (We ate so fast we didn’t take any pictures 😩).

    Thank you for your response. I shared my honest experience as a paying customer. Whether or not other tables had a different experience doesn't change mine. Reviews are meant to reflect individual experiences, not the majority. What surprised me most wasn't that you disagreed with my opinion, I t was that you chose to make personal assumptions about me, call me an "unhappy person," and tell me not to return. That's not how constructive customer service works. I updated my review because you responded, and I believe people should be able to see both sides. I stand by what I experienced: the chicken I was served was tough and rubbery. Other customers are free to form their own opinions just as I shared mine. I genuinely hope your business succeeds, but I also hope future customer concerns are addressed with professionalism rather than personal attacks.

    This is about to be a lengthy one. First off, I came in with my 3 children. The youngest is 2. We were sat by a nice waiter in the back. My youngest, toddler, started to cry and he cries loud. All of a sudden, we hear someone in the back, yelling loud too. They then started to yell “GET OUT!” So, everyone in the restaurant is looking around trying to figure out who he is talking to. I see a short Asian man come out from the back to leave and slams the back door shut loudly. The waiter brings our drinks and I asked, “was he talking to us?” And he says “yes.” I then asked, “should we leave?” He then says “no, he just left so it’s fine now”. At this point I’m contemplating whether to leave. Maybe 3 minutes later the food comes out and we eat, but it’s very awkward. I then asked the waiter who that was, the cook? He told me that’s THE OWNER. Excuse me? Acting like that at his own restaurant? Mind you, at this point he’s told us what’s been going on and that the owner has had his breaking point. He’s been on edge for months and he’s been told that he needs to speak with someone about it. I asked the waiter who he was and he said the CO-OWNER. Oh. So, this changed things. I said I will pay you, but this is my last time coming. Every time I come, I have had no issues. I said you have been great and I’m glad you told me that he has some mental things going on but that is not how you run this business. Children are going to be loud, and you cannot control when kids cry. If you want a “no children restaurant”, that needs to be reflected somewhere and I assure you, you will have no business. You cannot lose control when you are a business owner. And clearly, that Asian man is spiraling. I hope he gets the help he needs before it’s too late. But no apologies were made on his behalf, and no compensations were attempted to be made to us as paying customers. We did not have to get treated like that and we should’ve left as soon as it happened had it not been for the co-owner being our waiter and telling us everything. Food is good but Asian co-owner is horrible. DO NOT COME WITH YOUR CHILDREN, THE OWNER DOES NOT LIKE TO HEAR CHILDREN! **Responding to OWNER: My child did not cry for 10 minutes. More like 10 seconds, and if that triggered you, STAY home. The 2 other tables had children with them too and as parents and grandparents, they understand that you cannot always have silent children. You left before the 2 other tables left. We all witnessed YOUR temper tantrum and outburst like a child. If anything, you are an adult and you were louder than my child. As a co-owner, be more patient, respectful and compassionate because you might have customers who are autistic or disabled. DO BETTER! Also adding, the co-owner, Thomas did in fact give us a discount, but I still gave him a tip.

    I had Yen Ta Fo noodle soup and the best part was their unique purple sticky rice and mango served with a savory salty sweet warm coconut milk sauce. Really amazing The owner was kind and the vibe was peaceful and nice. Can’t wait to come back.

    Staff was very friendly. I ordered thai tea, spring rolls and pad se ew. Thai tea was delicious. hey forgot to put in my spring rolls but told them it was ok because the pad se ew was a good portion. The only unfortunate thing was that my veggies were barely steamed. I had to eat my veggies separately from my noodles because of how hard they were. Good flavor all around though and the noodles were really good. Would still come back.
