    The service here is always great. The Thai coon is so good. So many different flavor profiles that come together to form a party in your mouth. Just wow! I had 2 different appetizers. The stuffed chicken wings are great although I didn't love the sauce that came with it and the dumplings were also really good. I used the dumplings sauce for my stuffed chicken wings. I'd definitely recommend this place.

    Unbelievably good food!! Truly! First time eating Thai food so didn't know what to expect. It was amazing!! I had several appetizers because they all sounded so good and wasn't disappointed. I had seared tuna, summer rolls, coconut shrimp, and a soup. Then I ordered Diana's filet!! Perfection. One bad thing is it's 4.5 hours away from my house and I was craving it again at 2 hours away while driving home. I predicted that so we brought home summer rolls and the tuna for the road. I would eat this for breakfast it's so good. Thank you Diana for introducing me to Thai in such a great way.

    What a gem! This is a great uptown comfortable place that prepares really great authentic innovated Thai dishes. The prices are very reasonable for what you get and it's hard not to notice the quality in the food. I cannot say enough great things about this place. They really have their act together and the food is always consistently excellent. Always willing to make dishes off the menu. Wonderful wine selection.
