Great lunch special @ $13.95 (July 2025). Main dish and two sides. Sides consist of food items and drink items. So easily a full meal. Portions are good for one meal, no leftovers. The drinks you can choose as a side include Thai coffee and tea. If you would order those drinks on their own they would easily go for $4 or $5. I highly recommend the lunch special. Other menu items are priced pretty much like other Thai restaurants.

I came here with the family tonight, we've come here many times and have always enjoyed the food. I always forget to post my review, though. Lol. The only thing is that there aren't many servers, so the food can take a while to come, but today it came fast. Other than that, we love this restaurant, and we will still come back time and time again.

The best sushi I ever had in my life !!! Me and my boyfriend always go there! We have almost a year eating sushi there always fresh and delicious, the server is super friendly but the reason why i left 4 stars is because it is a restaurant that is always full and they only have only one server that is exploitation for a worker who attends tables and all the delivery’s at the same time, I just left there and she is alone there is no one helping her deliver orders it is so sad, get more serves you can lose good clients

This is one of my favorite places to eat Thai & Sushi. I come here very often and my kids love it too. On this particular visit the day before the fourth. We stopped quickly for a bite for two. We shared our favorite appetizers. Gyoza which is a chicken dumpling, we ordered it pan fried. We had Crab Rangoon as well with sweet and sour sauce. We shared a bowl of combination “Drunken noodles” this is one of my favorite dishes as the noddles are thicker and flat. My daughters first time having it and she enjoyed it as much as I did. The food is very good here. The ambiance is great. It’s a cute little spot perfect for lunch, date night or dinner with the family. The service can sometimes be a bit slow because there is only one person working the front and floor at the same time. Overall I enjoy this place more than others in the area.

Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Wow, can't believe it's been 10yrs since I have been here last - Thursday, November 21, 2013, to be exact. Service is still as excellent as I remember and I'm pretty sure our nice server is the same from the last visit. Place is also still BYOB but we forgot to bring a beverage. We were the only diners and later another group came in to dine. There were definitely a ton of carry-out and delivery orders. I guess they're celebrating 14yrs in business so today's free deal was your choice of Thai Iced Tea or Thai Iced Coffee, one per customer. My Husband and I ordered one of each and both were heavenly. For dinner, pictured here is their Crab Rangoons (different and its own unique filling, reminiscent of another place I have dined), their Solo Platter (choice of Spicy Tuna or California Roll - I opted for the Spicy Tuna, and four Nigiri pieces) which comes with Miso Soup (a regular, not small portion), and their Caterpillar Roll. My Husband ordered their Tonkotsu Ramen and what a huge bang for your buck! Everything actually was. Hopefully next visit won't be 10yrs later!
