Very tasty food, a little on the pricey side (which is in-line for the pricing in Lafayette). Service was friendly, although a little slow.And the interior design is great, though I probably could have done without the feel-good pop tunes on the radio- Ive heard enough One Direction in my life already.

This was our most disappointing meal in Lafayette in decades. We paid over $100 for our food. We had a hair in one dish and we ordered the garlic prawns. There were five small shrimp in a pile of vegetables. The restaurant was empty. A two year old cute little girl was walking around behind the counter eating food in her hand. I didnt have a problem, I loved her and talked to her. But it just reflected how badly run the place is. The chef knew we had takeout and realized we wouldnt take the time to call or go back. I have never called a restaurant for takeout issues in my life. I called and gave her feedback. With all the options in Lafayette, we will never order from here again.

Generous portion sizes and great food! The Pad see ew and Pad Thai was delicious but be careful with the spiciness level. We like spicy but the medium spicy is super spicy. Twice we ordered it the same way and it was just too spicy it affected our ability to taste the true flavors of the noodles. The next time we ordered both entrees mild and it was the perfect amount of spicy for me and my fiancé.Fried rice was tasty and the biggest portion size we’ve received from any Thai place.The golden tofu was ok, we probably won’t order that in the future.Tom Ka soup from here is our fav and a must try if you love a coconut milk base soup. The flavors are something special that always makes our mouths water! We love to add our own rice to thicken the soup and make it more hearty.Omy greeted us the moment we walked in and she was super sweet! We drive the extra miles to come to this Thai place over the one closer to our home because of the friendly vibes and great portion sizes, we always have delicious left overs!

Great food and very good service.Last time I was here, I got a level 4 spicy thinking I would be able to handle it. I couldnt. I ended up packing it home and making 4 meals with the leftovers. Still delicious despite that. This time, I ordered a less spicy meal and it was perfect.

Ive lived in Northern Thailand and this place has a great selection from that area. Authentic and delicious.

Dropped in last night for a late dinner, 8:30 PM. I ordered a chicken dish off a new menu and it was the single best meal I have had in some time. Chicken, coconut, rice, cilantro and a wonderful bowl of broth.Cannot recall the name, Ro-Rhotem?They got beyond the usual noodles that so many people seem to love.Expand your horizons and come in for a visit. There is so much more to Thai cuisine and this is one place to get it.

Recently, they updated the menu and have made significant changes. The new food is spectacular. They really have something special now, and the food is really affordable. Great gluten free options as well

Ive both dined in and gotten takeout from here. Its my favorite Thai restaurant in the Lamorinda area. Their Khao Soi noodles are like a magic trick because they have crispy noodles sticking up out of the bowl with chopsticks sticking out of them, and it looked so cool! It also tasted delicious. Ive also tried the fried calamari, fried tofu salad with peanut sauce, tom yum soup with shrimp, green curry with chicken, and mango sticky rice. Everything I had was EXCELLENT! If I could, I would take a bath in that peanut sauce because its that good! The tofu was really crispy and not at all greasy. The meat and veggies were fresh-tasting and tender and they dont skimp on the portions. They really put the YUM in Tom yum and its a great warming soup for the cooling fall weather or if youre feeling sick. I will be returning to this restaurant again and again!

For the most part all the food was delicious. The portions were very generous. The veggie rolls, fried rice, and praram were all wonderful. Unfortunately the pad Thai was terrible. All the noodles were completely stuck together forming a thick noodle patty. There wasn’t a lot of flavor and to top it all off I found multiple long black hairs imbedded in the doughy noodle clumps. Because the other food was very good I’m actually very excited to give this place another shot. However, I found my first experience completely unacceptable. Although most of the food was great, I think my very negative experience with the one dish justifies the 3 star review.Thank you very much and I hope to see you guys again in the future.

I was really hyped about going and reviewed the menu prior to my visit. I ordered pad thai and imagined the flavor to be as I had experienced elsewhere . Not nearly close. They used vermicelli noodles and had a sweet flavor. It had five shrimp and not much gravy to bind nor tie the flavors together. Not what I expected and appeared to come from a different region. I gave my untouched portion to a homeless man who said that he would love to have it.
