Reviews
- Onyx_3Got the signature yellow curry beef and wow, the beef was fall-apart tender and totally soaked up that curry flavor. The curry itself was super rich and creamy, mixed it with the jasmine rice and I could’ve honestly eaten two bowls. Also tried the Thai yellow curry bread chicken (basically curry stuffed inside this crispy bread bowl) and it was a hit — the bread was so crunchy and the chicken inside was juicy and tender. The tom yum soup was the perfect tangy-spicy kick to start, broth was really flavorful and loaded with seafood. The whole place has a cute Thai vibe going on, nice lighting and decor that actually makes you feel like you’re in Thailand. Staff was super friendly and the food came out fast too. Honestly a really solid experience, would come back.
