Great date night spot. We love coming here. The staff is always friendly and the food is SO good!

Wonderful Thai restaurant. This establishment is cozy and serves delicious Thai food. We consistently eat the noodles, rice dishes, and curry, and all are tasty. Their tofu spring rolls are flavorful and they are also known for their pineapple fried rice, which is served in a hallowed-out pineapple and is appetizing. Besides the food, we are drawn to their service. The servers are always happy to see us make us feel welcomed. For an enjoyable Thai dining experience, from both a food and service perspective, please visit this restaurant.

I’m giving the food three stars. The green curry lacked richness—it was quite thin and watery. The chicken was also disappointingly dry, likely because they used very thin slices of chicken breast. Overall, the flavors were there, but the execution missed the mark.

This Thai restaurant has wonderful Thai dishes and there has not been one that has been a miss. The service is efficient and friendly and the prices reasonable. We’ve been coming back for over five as the food and service is consistently great .

Hidden Thai gem tucked away located near La Mesa. The food is great! They offer Lunch specials from 11am-3pm. Limited seating offer indoor and outdoor dining. Can host about 20 something at once. I ordered lunch set Thai Basil Tofu with rice 13. You can customise the spiciness from 1-10. Mine was 8 and it was plenty of spicy(i am an Asian). Portion was fair full of flavours. Would definitely come back again!
