BEST Thai restaurant I've ever eaten at! It even rivals my mother's homemade Thai food, lol! ;) Everything we got today was delicious. Only thing I noticed was that "Medium" spicy was not spicy at all- so I'll have to try the next level up when I come back for more! Pricing is also perfect- only paid around 50 for a coffee, two appetizers, and two entrees! With how wonderful the experience was, I honestly expected the bill to be higher before the check came out.

This is my third time eating in at this nice quaint quiet restaurant establishment. The service remains professional and with attentiveness. The staff is always polite from entering the door. The food is 5*********'s. I love the Pad Thai with shrimp and today I tried the blue crab and shrimp fried rice. Sooooooo delicious. And ohhh how could I forget the coconut soup with shrimp.as my protein. The sweet tea is always so perfectly sweetened. Lasty, this restaurant is always very clean. I pray this establishment is richly bkessed with customers after my review. I also wish them Gods blessings to continue to serve with excellence. Shelby Powell.Johnson Virginia Beach Virginia
