    We ate lunch here again. Parking in the back. Service a little slow due to excess people for lunch. We sat outside, umbrella did not cover everyone. Appetizer sampler was very good. Fish cakes, deep fried rolls, samosa, rice roll, sattay sticks orchids and 4 dipping sauces. Pad Thai crab was excellent, not greasy, noodles al dente. Green chicken curry was very good, not overly spicy as requested. Thai Trip (1/2 bbq grilled chicken, Thai papaya salad, sticky rice) dipping fish sauce was very good, not dry, not coal grilled, light coating of honey. One of the better Thai restaurants we've eaten at. Rate 5 stars out of 5.

    One of my favorite Thai spots in the peninsula. My go to dishes are their pad kee Mao and Tom kha soup. Dishes always come out seasoned great and cooked perfectly! Love that they also have seasonal specials (ex crab rolls or crispy duck) and more unique dishes that you may not find at other spots in the area. Brownie points that they have a nice outdoor patio out front too so we always come here with the pups on a nice day. Glad to have this restaurant closeby as a regular spot.

    Arrived for dinner on Friday before 6 PM and were able to get seated inside right away, it quickly got busy though, although they had plentiful outdoor seating. The service wasn't great, but it was also quite busy inside. We ordered the appetizer combination sampler and two items from their seasonal menu: khao soi beef short ribs and curry soft shelled crab. The food was all quite good! I liked the variety of the sampler, although the skewer was a bit dry. The short ribs was soft and the meat fell off the bone. The soft shelled crab was still crispy, and there was quite a lot for the price! We didn't try more "classic" Thai dishes this time, but were happy with what we got and had plenty of leftovers to bring home.
