I was looking for Thai Food close to the location I was in, I googled the restaurant and stopped by and ordered Drunken Noodles W/(chicken) I was impressed with how well it was prepared and the food was delicious and when I say I ask for spicy it had the perfect level of spice. I highly recommend you stop in and try this place out for yourself. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to upload a picture, I ate it so fast there wasn’t even a single thought of a picture, that’s how good the food is I was enjoying every single bite. Don’t take my word for it stop by and thank me later. Shout out to the staff for being so kind and polite.

We have eaten inside although tonight was as takeout. We have had Thai from many different restaurants and this by far was the freshest, tastiest Thai food. We had fried calimari, Thai spring rolls, masaman curry, green curry and panang curry, drunken noodles and Thai iced tea. You save by paying cash. I highly recommend this authentic place. My pickier eaters in the house said it was excellent!
