    We loved visiting this month-old restaurant. A great take on Thai street food! Our server was quite friendly and very helpful without being overbearing. And the food was very tasty and a good value.

    Food was very good with an interesting array of flavors. Service was okay, but live music was too loud for pleasant conversation at the table.

    The food at Thaiverse is original and "Thai hot", exactly what we were looking for. The menu has a great selection of Thai dishes, the taste of everything we had was excellent. We had a great time - and came back the next day. I also was very pleased to see that the few wines offered were very good choices at reasonable prices. The restaurant has a very charming ambiance and the services was nice and welcoming.
