We came in for a quick snack before hitting the gym. We ended up ordering a little more than a snack because the menu looked so good. We decided to share the Tom Kha soup, Vietnamese spring rolls, and pot stickers. It was all really delicious and the person working came to check on to ensure we liked everything. It’s small but delivers on flavor and hospitality, definitely a gem on 281.
Was my first time dining here and just a week earlier had started to explore this area of town a bit more.
We started our meal with the papaya salad, which reminded me of the same marinade of a Yum Nah or Beef Salad, but on shredded pickled vegetables. It was sweet, sour, & crunchy, a nice start to our meal.
Next we ordered our entrees. I ordered the Pad See Ewe, which was a decent sized portion, and had decent flavor. The vegetables were crispy and had good flavor while the noodles were a bit lacking flavor wise. Im not quite sure what was missing perhaps it was the spice level. I ordered a medium and it was not spicy at all. I would have placed the medium on a 1-10 scale as a 2 or 3. I'll probably order hotter the next time.
Prices were fair, but not overly affordable. It was average as far as Thai food and restaurants go. The menu had many price increases added to it, one of which was Thai tea which was not priced properly. I mentioned it to the waiter but he only commented that the menu hadnt been updated. I will probably eat here again when in the area, but so far I haven't found anything that would bring me back specifically to this location.
We were so impressed! It's this unassuming little place, but very pretty and upscale inside. The service was extremely polite, quick, and helpful. I had the Pad Thai, and it was the level of tasty you'd expect from a very good restaurant. My date had the Thai Cashew Chicken; he said it was the best cashew chicken he'd ever had. The pot stickers and fried bananas were also delicious! We definitely have this restaurant on our list of "go to again" places.
Oh, they also serve Boba tea here. We didn't try it yet, but that's definitely a plus!
