This is by far the best Thai food I have eaten! The Tom Yum soup is to die for and I also usually get the garlic chicken noodles. If you want food with flavor and high quality ingredients, stop by here or call for delivery. My wife is picking up some tonight and Im pumped! Prices are higher than your Chinese/japanese restaurants, but the food blows them away so its worth it.

I would give this place no stars if I could.
I headed down here from Auburn after a strong craving for Thai food. I had eaten here once with my sister a few months earlier and I remembered it was a fairly decent culinary experience so I thought why not try it a second time.
I walked in around 4 PM and the TV was blaring. There was a young boy, probably about seven or eight, sitting in front of the TV watching Judge Judy. Who lets their kid watch that trash?
He got up promptly and got me the menu. I noticed that the booth in front of where I was seated had a few full plates. Like someone was in the process of eating. Very soon the mystery was solved and the owner came back.
She asked for my drink menu and I initially wanted a coke but changed my mind and just asked for water. I asked her if the egg rolls could be made vegetarian and she said no. They apparently come pre made. What Thai restaurant doesn't make their egg rolls from scratch???
She brought me my water, sat in front of me and continued to eat her food while I starred at her. I guess the food was really hot as she had a good stream of snort coming out of both nostrils and she was sweating like a pig.
I was so concerned that she would have anything remotely close to cooking or serving my food. I just got up, said goodbye and left. Disgusting. I really should just cook all my meals at home. -

I ordered the Thai hot pad Thai with chicken. Hot and flavorful! Thai iced tea was good. Chicken satay appetizer had so much meat, I couldn't believe it. Friendly service. Overall, this joint offers good quality food at a reasonable price! They definitely know what they are doing here.

Food was good but pricey, service is slow. Potstickers are not homemade, "come in frozen" per server. If there was another Thai place in town I would go there but there isn't so what do you do.

Nothing special. I'm only giving it 2 stars because it's in Montgomery, land of no good restaurants. It's certainly leagues ahead of the disgusting Lek's Thai Railroad, for sure.

Montgomery is not exactly the place to go to for a cultural culinary experience. So finding a decent Thai restaurant is like winning the lottery to me. And ladies and gentlemen, I have won the lottery today.
Finally! A Thai place that actually serves Thai food. I have to admit I've only been to one other Thai restaurant in the area. They are a scarcity around these parts. I'm a spoiled New Yorker who use to having a dozen or so Thai choices within a three block radius of her office.
We ordered from the lunch specials, which gives you a choice of egg roll, spring roll, cucumber salad or soup with your dish. The cucumber salad was very fresh and refreshing. The chicken and rice soup was bursting with flavors of chicken, lime, cilantro and scallions. Our entrees were very good too.
The only negative thing I can say is that the food is a bit over priced. I can get lunch specials for less in New York City.
Nonetheless I will be back. -

My Thai food experience is just limited to the southeast but this is by far the best Thai food I have had. I have consistently eaten here for about 5 years now.
Just like any place that has not just opened there are going to be an occasion when something didn't come out perfect. However, I think there has only been once or twice over the past 5 years that something I ordered wasn't great.
The service has varied from amazing to unenthusiastic but never awful. I would recommend starting with either the pot stickers or the spring rolls and then ordering any curry dish for the entree.
If you go and have a bad experience ... try again and if you still don't like it...well....I am sorry.
FYI: They don't currently serve alcohol but you may bring in a bottle of wine and they will provide you with glasses. I usually grab a bottle from Publix just beforehand. -

Eaten at this place twice and had opposite experiences food-wise, so I'm a little conflicted. Once had the veggie basil stir-fry, and the veggies were just way over cooked and unappealing. Risked going back with a companion and had a similar stir-fry (ginger, I think) that turned out to be quite good; lightly cooked and well seasoned. Pan-fried chive dumplings as apps would have been good but were served too oily; seemed like an issue of cooking technique that could be easily corrected.
Service was friendly, but a serious negative was the TV at the entrance blaring Disney Channel sitcoms throughout the entire visit. -

Best Thai food in Montgomery! The Owner is really nice and personable. I have been coming here for years and I never get tired of it. I always recommend this place to people.
