    It's dangerous to live within walking distance of this place, because I crave them EVERY day. My favorites are yellow curry, chili cashew (pictured with chicken), and Thai chili fried rice. The dumplings are outstanding, same with the egg rolls and crab rangoon. The service is always fast and friendly. The best thing, in my opinion, is the consistency of the dishes. If you like one thing, it'll be the same so you'll like it every time. Oh, and you can order things "hot" and they'll still be edible... Your nose will run and your lips might tingle, but that's how it's supposed to be. I've even got my parents driving over from Jacksonville to eat here! #obsessed

    It's always refreshing to find authentic Thai. It's authentic. I went early -5pm on a Monday so there were only a few people in the restaurant, but the steady stream of carry out showed how popular they are. My soup was perfect. Fast isn't even the word. I think I waited 5 minutes for it to come out. Great flavor. Definitely will be back.

    Sometimes very busy during lunch hours. But food is made fresh and will definitely not be cold. I thought mine tasted very good. I had garlic chicken. Just know thai food looks different than Chinese food. They could have same name and be different. Like the garlic chicken I get at both places but look totally different. Tastes amazing too. Staff is awesome too.

    I'll start off with the food is wonderful. I got the red curry with coconut milk and it was delicious. The crab ration is cooked perfectly. The menu prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is casual. It seemed like most of their business is take out orders. If I lived closer to it, I'd be a regular.
