2023-10-10 00:43:15Recently found a good restaurant with great service. I love that it is family owned and everyone is super friendly. I love everything we ordered. I highly recommend their yellow curry chicken, spicy beef fried rice is a meal on its own, and crispy fish with veggies (I dont know what its called). This is one place that you would like to try.

2023-11-12 02:32:40ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Underrated New restaurant must try, Staff is cool, and the food comes out good and hot! They serve the soup for you. The kitchen staff really deserves the credit. Once we ordered the food, it was on our table in a matter of minutes. The portions are very generous, and the prices justify the quality and portions of the food. Make sure you give them a visit!!!

2023-01-24 14:52:39Overall the food was excellent here. Good sized portions, even at lunch, and very tasty and flavorful. However, there are definitely some shortcomings as well:Indoor seating is very limited, and extremely tight quarters - The tables are very close together. Outdoor seating (weather permitting) is definitely what Id recommend, as theres more tables and more space outside.My biggest concern is that the place doesnt feel particularly clean. My first impression of the place was when the server handed me the menu. It was *literally* a stack of unlaminated, stained, dirty paper, stapled together in one corner. Gross! My paper napkin was also stained when I received it. These issues are hopefully transient, because if they end up with professional menus and a little more quality control, this will end up being a great place!

2023-07-23 19:36:53This is hands down the best Thai food that I have ever eaten. We had roast duck, Thai coconut soup, and desert basil chicken........ simply phenomenal 👏🏾. I highly recommend this place as you will not be disappointed. The staff was also amazing and friendly.

2023-03-11 21:26:42I love this new Thai place! The food was very tasty, I got the Panang Curry with Beef, and house salad with Peanut Sauce. I am all about the sauces, and this place nails them! Servers were super nice and attentive as well. Outdoor seating has great view of Mountains and Palm trees. I have no doubt this place will survive and be here in PS for a while. Bravo! I look forward to trying more things on their menu, many great choices.

2023-01-02 00:59:29This place was pretty awesome. It was our first time visiting and we will definitely be back. We came at lunch and sat outside. Our server was really nice and did a great job, but the girl bussing the tables was the star of our show. She kept our drinks full, kept checking on us and actually got our server when we wanted to order. All of the food we had was excellent. The lunch specials come with iced tea and soup or salad automatically which is pretty cool. I had the soup which was delish! We started with chicken lettuce wraps. They were great. The pad thai was awesome too. More than enough for one person as we both took more than half of our plates home. The ONLY complaint I have is that there were only 2 shrimp on mine. Thats not that awesome. Other than that, everything was excellent. Also, I looked at the regular menu too since it was our first time here and it is MASSIVE. We will be back.

2023-11-02 19:33:06Had a great time. I was looking for a bar/restaurant to watch Monday nights game. I walked by and saw they had the game on their TVs. Got greeted at the host stand by a girl who pleasantly told me she would be with me shortly. After that a gentleman came and asked me if Ive been helped, and I let him know a girl told me she would help me soon. Then the gentleman sat the 4 people that were waiting behind me. I thought this was odd but I figured maybe he misunderstood me, no big deal. The girl came back and sat me outside. The gentleman came by my table and started apologizing. He thought I was ordering to go since the girl was helping me and shes responsible for taking to go orders. It really wasnt a big deal but I really appreciated how much he cared and apologized for his oversight. Lots of restaurant servers will never apologize when they make a mistake, so that goes a long way. I ordered Cashew Chicken and a Thai beer. Portions were great, food was delicious and beer was nice and cold. Service was quick and thorough. Id definitely recommend.

2023-08-25 00:02:02This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the valley. The food is phenomenal, the service is exceptional, and the environment is welcoming and warm. The owner, Yami, and her husband are very welcoming people, and really know how to keep the client happy. Please try the yellow curry, the pad thai, and the lettuce wraps, extremely flavorful and delicious.

2023-02-17 18:43:42Well another Thai option in the valley... Kind of a desert for really good Thai. This, unfortunately, is not the oasis. Came here for lunch on a weekday. They have a lunch special menu that comes with soup (tom yum) or salad, rice and an entrée with your choice of protein, all for under $15. The problem with the food here is the that its WAY TOO SWEET. All of the great Thai flavors are drowned in sugar. I know that many Americans prefer their healthy dose of sugar but this goes way to far. You could tell that there was some flavor in the tom yum but absolutely drowned out in sugary sweetness. I ordered the Mongolian beef (not really Thai in name but the sauce definitely had a Thai taste to it. It was the least sweet of the three meals we had, but still, too sweet. Cant really recommend it because of this sugar issue. Keep driving down the street to Talay Thai, still the best option in the Valley.
