Even though the menu is limited, it gives the cook liberty to make what is available so delicious. The green curry with chicken, was probably the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the spice was medium. The service is extremely friendly, we would highly recommend this Thai restaurant.

Great food and friendly service. The menu is not extensive, but everything we tried (the soup, the satay chicken and the chicken curry) was absolutely delicious!

Tasty food. Very limited menu. Would have liked a noodle option. But what we had was tasty and staff were super helpful and service was very, very quick.

The food is really really good, full of flavour. I ordered the "poulet sauté au basilic thai" and I didn't regret it. The only down side is the slow service but the wait was totally worth it.

The menu could have the original names of the dishes in Thai. Some of the explanations of the curries are also a bit confusing. Also Medium size is more than enough for two people!!!

Not very crowded at dinner on a Monday night, but the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. Fantastic selection of wines, limited food menu but everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the chicken satay with peanut sauce, and Massaman curry with the most tender pork I have ever enjoyed, and I'm Cuban so that's saying something. The ambience was quaint, with an open kitchen and understated design. Will be back again and again to enjoy this place.
