    This is some of the worst Thai food I've ever eaten anywhere. The buffet was completely tasteless and wihout variety. It looked like leftovers. And the lunch buffet was $27 per person. A total loss.

    This amazing experience we went for a birthday. Atmosphere and the service were top-notch. It was definitely not just a male, but an experience and I will definitely be going again and recommend it to friends.
