Amazing experience! From outside walking in, love the classy authentic feel from the decor. Not only is the staff friendly and helpful, they're super attentive. My water glass was never less than halfway empty before they came and refilled it. The food is definitely unique. The taste of Thai food with a twist. I definitely recommend the vegan pad kaprao and the royal crown fried rice. We already had too much food so we didn't get to try the curry but we're sure gonna go back and try!
