  My favorite Thai food in the valley! I get the penang curry and it has just the right amount of spice and creaminess. The rice is good and you get a big ole helping of it on your plate. I almost never have chicken leftovers, but they give you so much sauce and rice, that I can take that home and have that as a meal the next day. The inside of the restaurant is cute and clean. The outside is really sketchy. The parking lot is pretty small, so you'll most likely have to park down the street a little bit and walk . . . aaaand take a step over the homeless guy rolling around on the ground talking to himself. It made me sad, but also a little freaked out. So definitely come here with a friend. Food is good, service is good, restaurant is cute.

  Not only was the food salty and nasty wait until I tell what the cashier did. The food was better under the old owners, these people have only had it about a year & a half. When I took the food back, a man in front of me was in line returning his food. He was very upset about his food because they had gonna it wrong 2 times before.
  
  I told the lady why I was bringing it back also I had a problem with them half filling my sweet and sour sauce. I told her over the phone I'm feeding 4 who like sweet and sour sauce so send me 6( I sent almost $50). They sent it to me half full,every little container was half full HOW CHEAP. I would have paid money for it.
  
  This is really what made me leave a message. As I'm in line a lady came in and ask for extra sweet and sour sauce. Now I had just taken it out of me bag and explained to the cashier about the sauce's being half full.
  
  This lady took the sauce I had just bought back and give to the lady who just walked in and ask for extra sweet and sour sauce. I was shocked because the cashier didn't know if I was crazy and put something in the sauce....IT'S AGAINST THE LAW FOR HER TO DO THAT ...YOU CAN'T GIVE ANY PART OF SOMEONE ELSE ORDER THEY JUST BOUGHT BACK, TO SOMEONE ELSE.
  
  So I knew how CHEAP they were and if they did that to save money on sweet and sour sauce in front of everybody...what are they doing when NO ONE IS LOOKING.
  
  I turn to the lady who had just walked in and said... don't take that I just bought it back to them they don't know if I did anything to it, and it's half full.
  
  The lady was so mad she would do that, she said no thanks and walked out without the sweet and sour sauce . The people eating were so shocked they would do that also. I will never ever go back there.

  I've only had their Hainese chicken here but they did it right. (unlike my previous review) - They also have a lot of traditional soups. It's a very simple place disguised in a not so nice shopping plaza. Man I would come here again though to try other stuff. It was also a hot day and they put their AC machine next to me which was super thoughtful.

  Really cute and friendly and homie restaurant. The service was really kind and nice! The food was tasty! And when the waitress made a little mistake, she gave us free Thai tea to make up for it! Definitely check it out! Thank you for lunch!
