“the kids absolutely loved the thai fried rice - not too spicy but still had flavor, wiht tons of chicken and veggies mixed in. staff was super patient with my picky eaters and even brought extra sweet and sour sauce”

“parking on college avenue is a nightmare especially during dinner. had to circle three times before finding a spot two blocks away which sucks when youve got hungry kids haha”

“not even kidding thier thai iced coffee is absolutely perfect - strong, sweet, creamy with that orange color from condensed milk!!! and its made with real brewed coffee not that powdered instant stuff some places use”

“they only have regular drip coffee no espresso drinks or specialty options. for someone who needs their afternoon latte fix having to settle for basic coffee was disappointing”

“staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free options adn said the pad thai could be made with rice noodles instead of wheat. they even checked the sauce ingredients to make sure it was safe for celiac diets”

“i mean the spring rolls were definitely made with wheat wrappers even tho theyre listed as fresh rolls!!! always annoying when dietary stuff isn't clearly marked or communicated”

“the kids literally fought over the grilled chicken teriyaki - tender not too sweet comes with properly cooked rice. manager even threw in mochi ice cream for them”

“honestly parking on college avenue is a nightmare during dinner rush circled the BLOCK like three times with hungry kids in the car”

“thier dan dan noodles have the right chewy texture and the sauce actually clings to each strand”

“teh scallions were wilted and looked like they'd been sitting out forever”

“love how they throw fresh vegetables into everything - stir fries are loaded wiht crisp snow peas bell peppers and broccoli thats blanched perfectly wow”

“the brown rice option is overcooked and mushy which defeats the whole point of choosing the healthier grain”

“the green curry looked absolutely stunning - vibrant green sauce with red bell peppers, thai eggplant, and fresh basil served in a coconut shell. every element was perfectly done and looked great for pics”

“the lighting inside is way too dim for food photos just harsh yellow bulbs that make everything look kinda sickly. legit natural light from windows only hits like a couple tables up front”
