   three of us for dinner. It wasn't busy, so it was quiet. We sat in the patio area in the back. Service was very good and the staff were attentive. We ordered the coconut cakes, the papaya and fruit salad, the crab fried rice, lobster pad thai, and the massaman curry. The coconut cakes reminded me of banh khot, but slightly sweeter and with ceviche, which was a unique take. The papaya salad was good too. We loved the crab fried rice as there were chunks of crab meat and you can actually taste crab. The lobster pad thai flavors was not unique, it was pad thai with lobster instead of chicken or shrimp. The massaman curry was a hit with all three of us and none of us are vegetarians! The curry wasn't your typical red or green curry, which we appreciated. The mango and sticky rice was good too; fresh with chunks of mangos and mango sorbet; would have liked more coconut milk in it, but we ate it all! :-) Will definitely come back again.

   Very nice birthday meal. The coconut cakes and tuna tartare, Brussels sprouts as well as the Dungeness crab fried rice were all fantastic. The Drunken noodle was just okay. Decent service. Prices make it a special treat.

   We loved our dinner. There were 5 of us so we tried several things. The flavors and textures of each dish were outstanding. Service was attentive and right on point. We will definitely go back.

   The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. Large portions, we had leftovers. The cocktail was a perfect paring. The meat in our dishes melted in our mouths and bursted with flavor. The curry was rich and delicious. Will be returning.

   We had a late reservation so they were out of the branzino but everything we ate was delicious. Really the best, most original Thai restaurant around. The service was great. My Thai garden cocktail was luscious. I would have had a second but I had to drive home! You should be way busier on a Friday night. Get a review in some local papers!

    Our new favorite Thai spot! Here are our must order the party wings, pad Thai, pork curry, and mango sticky rice! Portions are huge, always have leftovers. But my absolute favorite is the Thai michelada!!! Never had anything this unique and tasty before - Think spicy Thai salsa with fish sauce!
