    Amazing as always! Service was very slow, but polite, enthusiastic, and courteous. The food was very slow coming out to us. We ordered the coconut chicken soup and 2 of the Son-in-law dishes!! Yummy! Love the vibe too!

    Everything we had was delish!! Favorite was the mussels and cocktails! Try the Key Lime Crush or a Lychee Martini with the Japanese gin (yum!).

    I was pleasantly surprised by its unique communal dining concept. Sharing a long table with other diners added a social and lively touch to the meal, making it feel more like a shared experience than just another dinner out. The food was fantastic—authentic Thai flavors, fresh ingredients, and well-balanced spices. Whether you’re going with friends or open to meeting new people over great food, this place is definitely worth a visit!

    Great food (very spicy though but I like spicy!) we got the jungle curry and the tiger cry, and calamari for an appetizer. Great service and food didn’t take too long to come out. Drinks are also delicious

    Chelsea was a phenomenal server. Delicious food, great recommendations for our choices, made my friend visiting from Cali for her birthday feel really special ( thank you for no awkward singing). Counter seats were great to see the action in the kitchen but the chairs were a bit uncomfortable and had quite a cold draft blowing down. Fully understood it’s needed to keep the kitchen staff feeling cool in front of those hot stoves so will just make sure to reserve a standard table next time. Will definitely be back!
