I'd like to start by saying that the food here was good indeed. However there were major problems with the service and the ambience.This was our first time here. Although we were courteous throughout our time, the waitress did not seem to be happy to serve us. She didn't seem to like us asking her to replace the plates that were dirty. Every time she gave something to our table it was almost like she was throwing things onto our table rather than keeping them. Not sure why she did not seem to like us. She seemed nicer to other tables. This was obvious because of some behavioral changes like saying “thank you”, smiling and the way she kept things on the other tables.She was chopping vegetables on one of the tables during service. So there was a constant noise of chopping throughout. Thought his was unprofessional at a restaurant like this.Now, the last problem we had here was with flies. It has some serious fly infestation. We had to keep shooing the flies away while we ate. They have a fly trap set (attached a picture) however it's not very helpful.

We went here on a recommendation and were happy we did. Cute little atmosphere, excellent service, and the food was ?. (And the bathrooms were very clean!) The young man that helped us with our orders, (Om, I believe but probably misspelled it) was so nice and helpful talking us through different dishes and making suggestions, then he kept coming outside to check on us and make sure we didnt need anything else. The food... I got these puffy curry things that were 5/5. Id go back just for those. Also, drunken noodles were delicious and then one of their popular chicken dishes that I cannot remember the name. Also had a green papaya salad which was delish too. For me, some dishes were a moderate heat, but I love spicy food, so if thats an issue, you can request they tone the spice down. Also, we ate outside with the dog, so they are dog friendly!
