What our guests are saying
I really liked the food here! Came out quick and our waiter was awesome. We came our labor day and there was one guy running the entire floor. He was doing an amazing job. We got the Pad Ki Mow and the chicken skewers. Our food was very fresh and very tasty!

Really nice vegan menu and vegan specials. The atmosphere is nice when it’s not super packed, but it can get loud when it fills up. I couldn’t decide what to choose from the vegan specials but I finally settled on the pumpkin and avocado green curry and it did not disappoint. A great blend of flavors. The tofu satay is the best I’ve ever had, I’ll be dreaming about it for days. Highly recommend this place.

Upon entering we were told to seat ourselves where we pleased. This place is so quaint and clean. Our server Erick was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and suggestions. We ordered Calamari as an appetizer and our entree were the Salad Bai Yok Chicken & Kow Pad just egg and beef. The food was served heat hot and the taste was so flavorful & fresh with both orders.
