   Service was great, but losing your liquor license is odd. The food wasn’t up to standard of years past. The curry was watery and I’ve never seen stir fry watery but this one was. The rice which you order separately was only partially filled. Something has happened and they need a good chef that actually knows how to cook Thai!

   This was a birthday meal request. The food was great, as always. However, the Wednesday live music was canceled due to low reservations. Unfortunately, we were presented with the payment machine as we put our forks down with no offer of additional drinks or dessert. Not quite the birthday celebration we had hoped for.

   This place never fails! The spicy crispy pla is so delicious! The jasmine rice with it, is wonderful, too. It's the flash fry that makes it so crispy and the sauce is delicious! Great evening with great friends from MN. Service was great, too. Thanks.

   Used to be one of our favorite places, but things have really gone south on every level.

   The food was at best okay. Each entree had too much sauce, but not real flavor. I suspect that no actual Thais were involved in making the food. On the plus side, my cocktail was very good.

   The food was served quickly, hot and delicious you can pick the level of sp iciy ness from 0-5. It was perfect. I had a stir fry veggies with shrimp and sticky rice and it was excellent. Lots of good vegetables cooked perfectly as well as large shrimp. My friend had a curry dish which was loved as well.

   It’s what’s to be expected going out on Valentine’s Day. Service takes longer and quality issues happen. One must give grace to the staff. A martini was served in a cracked glass, we sent it back. Taste of the martini though was different from the first which I found odd. Not a big deal since the second was tasted stronger so I guess it was made fresh and the other one may have sat for an additional 10 seconds. Crispy pla was good and served as fillets rather than whole fish. Tom Yum soup was good, served traditionally with the inedibles and all. That’s a good thing by the way. Recommendation is to have sound dampeners like foam or cloth spread out so it doesn’t seem so loud when there are so many people.

   I had mentioned that it was my wife’s birthday which also happens to be Valentine’s Day when I booked the reservation on OpenTable. It was not acknowledged but other than that enjoyed the dinner.

   Hi Glenn: we are so sorry we missed acknowledging your wife's birthday - we are usually at maximum capacity on that night for service due to the holiday. We'd love to welcome you both back in to celebrate and offer her one of our desserts and an appetizer on us - please send us an email and we will take care of that for you!

    We had a very nice lunch experience. Friendly service , excellent food , and reasonable prices provided great value. Coconut shrimp appetizer was excellent as was the pad thai and drunken dragon. Will definitely return.
