Ive been coming here since I was a baby and this restaurant is the single reason for my obsession with Thai food. I judge all others by this standard. As Ive grown and my tastes have changed, Ive been able to try new dishes and Ive always enjoyed them. Obviously, in the 30 years Ive been eating their food, recipes and dishes have changed, but Ive never been disappointed, as I have with many other Thai places. This is what I consider home style cooking. Its a warm, inviting place with good people and good food. My personal favorites are the massaman chicken, rice noodle soup with chicken, and chili fish. Unfortunately, I dont see the massaman curry on their menu anymore. Its a shame because Ive never found another restaurant that could match their flavor. I hope they bring it back.As an edit, I see someone complained about high prices for tiny portions of average food. I find that insane. Their prices are comparable to other Thai restaurants, if not better (theres nothing I hate more than a pretentious Thai place). Also, Ive taken many people here who also have strong opinions on Thai food and they all loved it. Ive never seen someone Ive taken be unsatisfied with the taste, or the portion. Lastly, my family doesnt order individually, we order family style. We order one dish per person, and sometimes an appetizer or soup. It comes out to about $12 per person and we all leave completely stuffed, sometimes even have leftovers, and were all gluttons. When I go by myself, I can order 2 dishes to go, make my own rice, and have enough for a few meals. I usually portion it out at home and freeze it, then reheat and eat with a side salad. It all freezes and reheats really well.
