    The food is always very good here, being this was our 4th time eating here. It’s very tight quarters but more so for the servers than the customers. The decor is very pretty with lovely artificial flowers lining the ceiling and walls. There is a very good variety of dishes on the menu including gluten free options.

    The food is tasty, authentic, and good value and every guest I bring likes the place. It’s very loud and tables are close together. Service is a efficient but impersonal.

    I took my mom and Aunt here for a Mother’s Day celebration. My mom officially wants a flower wall in her apartment lol. The food was pretty good, but I found everything to be a little on the sweet side.

    It was a nice restaurant to go to. I went for a friend birthday and she enjoyed it. However, it was too expensive for small portions and the food was okay. It wasn’t anything crazy, the food offered can be find at any Asian cuisine restaurant. The service was amazing! Definitely the best service I have had in a restaurant EVER. If you go for the ambience just know you’ll be paying a lot for that.

    The servers were very nice and the food was delicious. My only gripe is that everything comes really fast, it’s not a place where you can sit and relax for a time, it’s like they want you to eat and then out. Drinks are also great

    It was a birthday dinner. The manager who greeted at the door also served us. She told me right away that I am not to be sitted before the rest of the guests arrive. After talking a bit, I was allowed to wait at the bar. Even when it was our reservation time, and everyone arrived, they made us wait at the door. It was was a little bit as if I am in her kitchen and begging for kindness. The food was “ok” for the price. The mocktails looked impressive and are worth the spiked prices. I would return if the service is better. I definitely won’t return. Prefer Up Thai that is consistently nice and is located nearby. Thank you for your time reading through this.

    The service was nice. Great customer service. The only thing about the restaurant is that it’s a tight squeeze but worth it.. The food was delicious
