    A beautifully serene and creative atmosphere with wonderful dishes that are beautifully served.! Not your usual Thai menu; the chef has gone beyond to craft these dishes with something extra. Lovely service as well.

    Food was DELICIOUS. The food came out at all different times, so that was a little odd. But genuinely no notes other than that. Our entire party of 5 enjoyed their meals. Would absolutely recommend.

    Wonderful foods and services. The place is small and could get crowded and noisy, but the foods are authentic and well prepared.

    The food was absolutely amazing. But the place itself is small the table they offered us had barely enough space to fit our order. Was disappointed that we got this even with a prior reservation and a request for a good table
