We eat Thai food often so we can tell right away the flavors are not typical Thai taste. The Yumnua beef has cabbage and no tomatoes nor cucumbers or Thai basil; plenty of beef. Tom yum doesn’t have onions. Pad See Ew has typical broccoli instead of the Chinese broccoli; meat was put generously. All three tasted good, flavorful and hot. They put no utensils nor napkins in the bag and I couldn’t check while carrying my baby on hand. Waited for 35 minutes instead of 20 like they said on a Saturday night. Price is good, $14 for salad, $15 for noodles, and $17 for shrimp Tom yum; no extra charge for the beef option. Nice receptionist. Still, I think we will come back.

I read other reviews that sounded like the food wasn't very authentic but I've been to Thailand more times than I can count and I can tell you you won't be disappointed. Traveling all over Thailand you also find diversity of what's in the dishes and flavors so don't think of it is not being authentic but rather the flavor from the region it represents. We had lunch there and tried four different dishes and all were delightful. Very reasonable price and the size was plentiful and they throw in a small salad to start the meal that was light and refreshing. We will be back for sure! 😁 ขอบคุณครับ!

Overall great experience, I ordered the Pad Kra Pow pork and it was full of flavor. Portions are plenty big, and the customer service is great. I recommend coming here.

Tom Kha soup, pad Thai, Thai iced coffee, and curry were great. Soup was very flavorful and rich, pad Thai was saucy and tangy! Coffee didn’t have too much condensed milk and was perfect. Curry was not spicy at all even though it had jalapeños and one chili pepper on the menu - it could’ve used a little more spice tbh. Inside is very cozy, wait staff was great.
