   If I could rate this a 0 out of 5 I would. We were beyond disappointed and sadly enough it was a very special occasion. The last time I ate here was probably 10 years ago and my memory was wonderful. It had some ambiance, the food was great and the only reason I hadn’t been back was because I moved to Texas for a decade. I asked the server if it changed ownership and sure enough it did. It was my sisters 35th bday on the day—March 11th. I wanted a nice Thai restaurant as Thai is her favorite food. We would have been better off with take out from Panda Express. Absolutely awful and we will never go back. We wanted to celebrate her special birthday with some wine and NOPE, they lost their liquor license so no wine was served. Our reservation was at 7:15pm. By the time we ordered it was 7:45pm because our server was nonexistent. The tables were squashed next to one another. The server completely ignored us the entire time. I was so thirsty for some water and couldn’t flag her down to save my life. The restaurant closed at 8pm about 2 minutes after our food came. They forgot our rice, and 2 of our entrees. She forgot to put the orders in so they “made it on the fly”. It was like mushy steamed rice with no flavor, gross veggies, and tasted as if it was put in a microwave from a bagged grocery store $2 frozen food section. My sister ordered a curry with spice level 2. It had zero spice. She asked for some spice on the side. It came out about 15 minutes after. The lights were so bright like fluorescent in a cafeteria. As soon as our food came the restaurant was empty and the server told us they were closed. She was in the back rolling silverware so we couldn’t even get anything like soy sauce or a spoon or more water. It smelled like bleach from cleaning which should be done after diners are gone. I bought gifts and crumbl cookies to make a wish for my sister and since the restaurant was closed it was too awkward to celebrate. NEVER go back. Horrible.

   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.
