Really liked this place! Nice ambiance, friendly service and delicious food. I ordered noodle soup with duck and my husband went with curry with tofu and we both were more than satisfied with our meal. Portions there were truly generous and dishes were nicely balanced. I think it’s our to go Thai spot when we go to San Mateo

Great place to go if youre looking for something a bit later in the evening. The service was excellent, but neither of us could finish our meals for some reason. It was delicious, but the abudnace of really pungent spices caused us to be really full. Not saying it was bad, but we couldnt stomach it all.

Solid thai food, great portion, and good prices. Can’t go wrong! The staff were super sweet and surprised me with a free thai tea when they noticed the food was spicy for me. It’s nice to get that personal touch during a dining experience again.

Just so so. We went there at dinner time. Some items were already sold out. The staff was not friendly, but not particularly rude to us. They just have an indifferent attitude.The food is just okay. Compared to another Thai restaurant that we already like, we could only give it an okay.

The service was good. I was given a very dirty fork, but they quickly gave me a clean one when I pointed it out. As far as Thai food goes it definitely was good. Not the greatest, but still very good

I mostly just order pad see ew with beef at Thai restaurants, so Ive had it at a number of different places. The pics in Google maps seemed good. Picked it up for takeout and when I got home I found it to be a very pale attempt at the dish. The flavor was ok but it seemed like maybe they did not use enough sauce or maybe there was some other issue.Not sure what happened. But cant recommend. Maybe they were having an off day?

They have the best fried rice round the region. With authentic Thai chefs and Thai servers, there can hardly be better Thai atmosphere in the bay. What’s more, I have been there many times, and their quality of food and service has been consistently outstanding. I really feel sorry that they are so underrated in Google and Yelp. Such unfair rating is a reflection of the poor taste of Americans on Asian food.

My sister brought me here for lunch. Service was pleasant and food was alright.There were a generous serving of prawns in the Tom Yam goong, which I asked them to add the flat noodles. The spice in the papaya salad was just right.

If u can avoid eating here, u should. The salt is real!!! Everything tastes like salt and thats pretty much it. For the quality/quantity vs price this is an absolute waste, after an $80 meal we were still hungry and ended up eating a second meal. There was a pork fish we did not even deem picture worthy that was dry and chewy as opposed to the succulent pictures on the menu. It is not often that I give 1 start reviews but when I do they are well deserved.

Been to Thailand 3 times. Also eaten at many Thai restaurants around the Bay area. This really hit the spot. Definitely now my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. In regards to taste and food quality (ya know, the most important factors) this is perfect. Zero complaints. Yes. Yes. Yes.I had pad kee miao (spelling?) and a green curry.Service was a little less than OK, had to repeatedly wave them down each time I needed something.Portions......I could see how some might think they are small. I thought the portions were fair for the price, which is also on the reasonable side. Not too bad.So yeah.....Ill be back.
