I love Huncho House. This was my second visit, and each time, I'm so satisfied with the food. The salmon and crab fried rice was amazing! The brussel sprouts *chefs kiss* and the overall ambiance is the perfect vibe.

Had an appointment across the street and looked for something close by, to keep things simple. Thaiverse was such a great surprise! We got there during lunchtime and took advantage of their lunch specials: SO WORTH IT! Flavorful, great portions and just a great place overall. Def recommend their curry puffs and crab rangoon. Their thai coffee was delicious. Absolutely going back.
