Review Highlights

I love that this place is right down the block from my apartment. I'd probably eat there more often if my wallet allowed it. I'll be frank and admit that I don't really know the difference between "real" Thai and "Americanized" Thai, and frankly it's that kind of thing that makes sites like Yelp and Menu Pages annoying on occasion. All I know is that it's good food for a reasonable price, cooked and served by friendly people. I love tom gha kai, and theirs is the best I've had so far. Expansive menu with a wide variety of dumplings--the salmon dumplings are good, if you can handle the bright green skin. I've tried to make a habit of ordering at least one new thing every time we get food from there, and I've rarely if ever been disappointed.
I'm trying really hard to make this review witty and incisive, but it's hard to do that when I actually *like* something. Eat at Am-Thai. It's a goodness.
Straight to the food, then to the "decor," then to the deals.
Veggie Chive - 2 chewy and doughy buns wrapping spinach and scallions. I liked it, but I saw them microwave it before pan-searing the suckers.
Dumplings in Peanut Sauce - tasted artificial, this one you can pass on.
Tom Gha Kai - very flavorful broth. The chicken was not dry! The peppers were fresh and the shrooms were huge! This is an appetizer/side dish, unlike the hearty behemoth served at Chao Thai in Elmhurst, Queens.
Drunken Man Noodles - delectable. A spicy explosion of flavors in perfect harmony. Not enough noodles and slightly too many onions for me. The beef was good quality, not like most Chinese fast food places.
Pad Thai with Chicken - perfectly done. Soft noodles coupled with bean sprouts and a side of crushed peanuts.
Duck Thai Herbal - spicy and different, however, very oily. The duck was fried but saturated with herbs and different flavors. Yummy! Not for those who are watching their diet, health or heart.
Mango Sticky Rice - I liked having this as a dessert. The mango was fresh and the sweet sticky rice complemented the spicy lunch.
Damage with two iced teas and a free app - $42.50 + tax & tip for 4 people.
Decor: Okay, so the truth is, this is not a restaurant. It is a take-out place with a table. How I know this:
1. The restrooms are for "Employees Only."
2. My friend's dad said we don't have to tip because it is not a real restaurant.
3. Their appetizer plates were styrofoam.
4. The Thai Iced Tea came in solo cups.
5. Every time the door opened, it did not shut and gusts of wind attacked us. My friend's mom had to get up every time to close the door.
6. The window behind me was labeled the "Take-Out" window.
7. My dad's friend had to sit on an UPSIDE DOWN PAIL. Yes - an UPSIDE DOWN PAIL.
8. The waitress/take-out person laughed when she offered the UPSIDE DOWN PAIL as a seat, acknowledging the ridiculousness of the situation.
9. The dining table doubled as the coat hanger for the staff.
10. Anyways, they were still really nice and I loved their food, all is forgiven.
Deals!
On their menu, mention the following BEFORE or immediately after you order.
1. Free Thai Iced Tea with a $25 purchase
2. Free Entree ($4) with a $35 purchase
3. Free Fried Rice (Chicken or Veggie) with $60 or more.
I will be back, but probably for take-out or in the summer, depending on if they are using that take-out window.
Happy Eating!
My previous home was Jackson Heights in Queens, the epicenter of great Thai food in NYC, with some excellent Thai right in the 'hood and more in adjacent Woodside and Elmhurst. I'd never had any Thai food that impressed me outside of that area.
As a matter of fact, some years ago while I was still living in Manhattan, I was about to give up on Thai food entirely until I first ate at Sripraphai. Thai in Manhattan always ranged from decidely unremarkable to downright awful, as in stir fries a suburban Chinese take-out would be embarrassed to serve.
I was hesitant to bother trying Thai food in Brooklyn, figuring most places would typically resemble the lower end of the scale in Manhattan. Then I read about Am-Thai Chili Basil here and for the first time, I owe a restaurant discovery all to Yelp! After a first visit to Am-Thai, it appears to be in the league of the Queens greats, not that there aren't a few quirks.
I ordered the drunken noodles with vegetables and the panang-avocado duck, which the waitress recommended over the duck in red pumpkin curry.
First I was presented with a complementary bowl of some special pork soup. I couldn't tell you what the soup was seasoned with though it wouldn't appear to have been lemongrass nor much cilantro, two items I don't enjoy. And I don't want to know what part of the pig was used. But it sure was tasty. The initally subtle flavors seemed to develop into much bolder ones after the soup had sit for a while (I left the second half for after I finished the rest of my meal).
The drunken noodles looked similar to the typical version I'm accustomed to, but the texture of the noodles was quite different, a bit chewy and in a good way. There was a wide variety and ample amount of vegetables, mushrooms, etc, although they didn't soak in the essence of the sauce and spices the way the noodles did to perfection. Apparently the other items were added at high heat near the end of the dish's preparation.
The panang curry was not only complex, but delicious. I would definitely order this curry again, though there were problems with this dish. For one, the ("bed" of) avocado was a day or two short of what I'd consider ripe. The kitchen must have been aware of the state of the avocado so I figured that was how it was meant to be served. I don't think I'll order anything with avocado again here.
Also, I was only given a plastic fork and spoon, which made the crispy duck a battle. I didn't think a knife, if available, would serve any purpose other than to shatter plastic splinters into my dinner. I'm sure I appeared a neanderthal with a huge chunk of duck meat dangling from a plastic fork, chomping away, but since I was dining alone I didn't care. That was some good eating.
Every bite of not only duck, but jasmine rice I coated with an ample amount of the curry. While I was engrossed with savoring my feast, the chatter in the background switched from Thai to English. I remained oblivious to the fact that the owner of the restaurant was now addressing me.
Then suddenly, no longer incognizant, I listened as I was informed which woman in the kitchen had prepared my meal and was happy to have cooked for me. I can only hope whatever insufficient nod and mumbled thank you I offered displayed my true appreciation, but I felt somewhat self-conscious in the belief that I must have been sporting a curry mustache and up to my elbows in panang gravy. Not to mention the now half-eaten chunk of duck that would have still been attached to my fork.
I could only wonder where the discussion turned after it reverted back to Thai. Were they deriding the farang's slovenly table manners? Perplexed once again how Americans always drown their rice in sauce? Suprised the chopsticks provided remained untouched when so many American customers feel obligated to use them in any and all Asian restaurants? Questioning whether the bad luck brought on by my eating alone would cause me to be hit by a bus as soon as I walked out the door?
(Or here's a thought. Perhaps their back-and-forth bantering had nothing whatsoever to do with you.)
All kidding aside, really nice and friendly people in here. I suppose you need to be in a two table restaurant with an essentially open kitchen. But all the women working at Am-Thai were most affable. They left me longing to return soon almost as much as the quality food (I've got my priorities straight, eh).
As an added bonus, the extension of the G train to Church Avenue works out perfectly for me because the station is a block away from Am-Thai. It's as if the MTA implemented this route adjustment specifically so I can eat at this restaurant after a long day at work and then have an easy trip home!
Yay for me!
(for deluded me!)
Very solid Thai spot with friendly staff. No seating so be prepared to take it back to your spot but they do it right. Reasonable prices and ask for it spicy, they will oblige.
A few of us went to dinner here last night. I must say how impressed I was with this tiny little restaurant.. Technically it's a restaurant because it has a two tables but, the place is mostly a take out restaurant.. Opened 8 years ago by a woman that moved from Bangkok.. She moved to Brooklyn about a block away from this restaurant.. Though now, she owns several places around Brooklyn and one in Manhattan, this is the restaurant she works in.. Being that it's a block from her house, she considers this place her home.. Last night she had about 5 family members working in the kitchen..
We started with a few appetizers for the little one.. In addition we ordered ourselves these Curry Pastry.. They were beyond amazing.. Really, the best curry puffs I have had. Not that I have had many, I normally skip over them but, this was just amazing..
These are the first pictures I took.. Papaya salad. Bright, vibrant, and crunchy. It was a typical papaya salad, the ingredients did stand out however.
We had also ordered some lettuce wraps.. Not a lot of spice but, lots of lemmongrass.. I thought it to be good, others loved the dish.. I would opt for trying something else next time. It was missing heat in my opinion.
Drunken noodles with beef was amazing.. I have never had this type of noodle before.. It was a lot less sturdy and gluttonous.. It felt more homemade, more delicate.. The beef was amazing.. I would ask for a little more heat next time but, this might be my favorite version of this dish..
We also ordered pumpkin curry which was FANTASTIC.. Lots of rich cocounut milk, fresh pumpkin.. In fact the register had tons of little pumpkins all around it.. They were using fresh pumpkin in the dish.. Had a wonderful heat, really nice pieces of chicken.. It is the best thai curry I have tasted in recent memory. Just a really stand out beautiful dish.
Finally we ordered the thai basil or thai sceneted duck.. The duck was rubbed with this spice and then cooked in an interesting way.. It almost tasted like it was a little jerky'd up.. Lots of flavors.. Can't really place them. The dish was very succesful and it was really different than any duck preparation I can think of.. A must try for duck fans..
This place is top notch.. The people are so lovely and kind. We talked for a while and discovered that she owns Bodhi in NYC, Em in Brooklyn, a restaurant in Bangkok and I think another place in Brooklyn.
I can not speak for those restaurants but, her local spot, the one she is at everyday, is a really special place.
She recommended we try the lychee curry the next time we eat there.
pros: They have quick service, portions are a decent size, it's reasonably priced, and the food is good. They don't eff around.
cons: We made the mistake of ordering their cheap lunch special thinking that they would be as good as the regular entrees. We were wrong. Do not make the same mistake we did.
overall: Stick to the popular items and the familiar Thai dishes. They will all be tasty.
This is the third owner of this place since I've been in the vicinity, about 8 years. This is by far the best group of cooks in the kitchen. I get take out about once a week.. Their rice ginger and tom yum soups are the best cures for a cold. good rice pudding too.
Wow- what happened, AM Thai?! Two months ago, I felt confident that you were easily the best, most reliable and consistently delicious place to order in the entire neighborhood. Your mock duck and curry dishes were among some of the greatest I've ever tasted. Your menu was the first one I would recommend to friends visiting in desire of delivery food. Truthfully, I was ready to give you a four star rating without question.
Unfortunately, as of late, I've had multiple bad experiences. We ordered the lunch special in hopes of a good, cheap meal. However hopeful, our dream lunch came to a halt when the harsh reality that we were eating shitty leftovers from the night before became abundantly clear- they were not good.
The second strike came last weekend when we ordered from the regular menu. At the bottom of the menu, there is a coupon for a free Thai iced tea with every order of $25 or more. I made sure to ask for the iced tea after placing my order, but was informed that our order only reached $23. Okay, fine.. no big deal. The delivery arrived on time, but I was taken aback when the delivery person asked me for my total- $25 even. Really?! You guys couldn't spare one iced tea even after my total bill (with tax) came out to the desired amount for coupon usage?! I mean... really, AM Thai?! Then I'm hit with the news that the delivery person apparently doesn't have change in singles, essentially weaseling his way into a bigger tip before swiftly turning around and leaving my apartment. The icing on the cake was when I open the bag, only to realize they have somehow mixed up our order and delivered the wrong dishes. Unbelievable.
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Exceptional cooking and service!
My wife and I got here just before closing on a rainy Fall night and we were greeted warmly by the owner and staff. The owner's young son and daughter were there entertaining themselves while we ate. The place had a real family vibe. Our Panang beef and basil shrimp dishes had serious spice (which we asked for), but it did not obscure the subtle flavors. We were treated to Thai iced tea, an amazing green papaya and tamarind curry stew, and a sweet ginger tea at the end of the meal. Everything was extremely fresh, healthy and delicious. This little place is the best Thai restaurant we've been to in New York. Check it out, and eat in! It's a real find.
Deeeeelicious.
I am still tearing up over the spicy pineapple curry I inhaled a few minutes ago. I do love a spicy bowl of "pineapply" and "coconutty" goodness from time to time. It cost $8.50, and while a tad more expensive than other Thai places I frequent, it was well worth it.
The big chunks of pineapple soak up some of the sauce. So when you bite into one, it is a quick combo of tasty juice followed by a quick kick in the ass of spice.
Mixed into this mess include white rice, carrots, tomatoes, red peppers, green peppers, chicken, and coconut.
Have a big glass of water ready.
The locale is nothing special. It is a small dingy looking store that is built for take out orders. It is walking distance from the F train's Church Ave stop.
Probably a bit overrated, but this is a good find for the neighborhood. The veggie chive was disappointing and poorly cooked, but the Ocean Salad more than made up for it. Calamari was fresh and cooked through, but not quite "grilled" expertly. The portions are appropriate in a way that American portions rarely are. But this tends to mean that the prices are not quite the value you might think at first blush. Good spice ratio, especially on request.
Passed by this place every day on my walk to/from the train station, had read the Yelp reviews, and finally decided to take the plunge last week.
The chili-basil fried rice with chicken was really tasty, but the portion left a bit to be desired. Service was speedy.
I will definitely return to see what else is on the menu that's good, and potentially add to my weekend takeout cycle of Mr. Tong, Yummy Taco, and Korner Pizza!
This place came highly recommended by my brother who eats there almost every week.
There are only one or two tables inside; so it is tough to call this place a restaurant; more of a kitchen really.
Facilities were clean and you could see the cooking area. Seemed like the entire family of the owner was hanging out on Sunday.
My Drunken Noodle entree was tasty, not enormously large but an ample sized portion.
Slightly on the expensive side for Thai food; but not egregiously so.
Look forward to trying more dishes when I return to NY.
A resounding WTF(reak)!?!? This place is not what everyone says it is. We got food to stay, which is clearly not what this place was designed for. Definitely a to-go joint. Seriously, don't get it to stay.
The Pad Thai was fine. Nothing too fancy or special. This mediocrity continued in the other dishes as well.
Service was friendly... so best of luck.
At last there is edible Thai in Brooklyn. Off the Church Avenue F station rests tiny, modest AM Thai Chili Basil Kitchen, a monument to Bangkok (and some southern) Thai cooking. The menu accordians out from your waste to the floor when opened, and the dishes cover both sides. They run through all the normal favorites, some AM specialties, and many new items I have neither tasted in Thai restaurants here nor in my three months in the country.
With two small tables inside and one diner-style booth outside, this place is mainly delivery and takeout, which is further proved by the line of plastic bags always ready to fly out the door en route to somewhere in the neighborhood. On a night in early summer of 2008, I picked up a couple dishes with a friend to take back to her place. Immediately when we started opening the packaging, the aromas came out unlike the normal overly-sweetened smells of Manhattan and Brooklyn Thai restaurants. It took only a few bites to realize that Brooklyn had its first authentic place to call its own.
Recently I decided to sample a few more items during multiple meals, to enjoy more of what was on offer and prove that its deliciousness was not some fluke. As always, the first test of any Thai is its som tom ($5). This papaya salad was not as firey with its spices as I would have liked, but had all the right combinations of salty, sour, and sweet that it should.
After my initial visit, AM had gotten some good press, including a review in the Voice by our man Sietsema bowing down to the awesome coconut milks in many of the dishes. I wanted to try the tom kha gai ($4) soup that he praised, and was no less than blown away. This dish also had just the right combinations of sour and sweet, and was potently spicy, getting my mouth sufficiently tingling. The plastic spoons on offer were just not large enough to scoop enough of the milky broth, so I started emptying the bowl into my mouth with my hands. I vowed to bring my own large spoon on my next visit.
I had never tried anything like the hot pot dumplings ($4 for 4), but was an immediate fan of the vegetarian appetizer. Filled with sweet radish, but tasting mostly of the ground peanut, this seemed like a creative twist on many other peanut-based sauces, but this time stuffed into a chewy and moist cover.
After lunch, I returned in the evening to verify that the curry was good, and was just as impressed with the Panang curry ($8.50) as I had hoped.
The women working here do everything they can to make you happy. On this visit I sat inside and we chatted quite a bit with both present. The cook kept shouting from behind the shelves, asking us if everything was good or too spicy. With our mouths full, we kept responding that everything was just perfect.
And given the location, it was perfect. I hope this becomes a new trend through the city, tiny almost hawker stall holes in the wall serving honest, authentic Thai.
I ordered from here and it wasn't that great. I found it to be kind of greasy and took a while to get my order. The help seemed nice and I guess its cool that you can see them cooking your food right there but the food just wasn't that great so I probably won't be ordering from here again.
Dude, I love this place. It was the best thing about moving to Kensington when I first came to New York- great Thai food delivered to your door that isn't pure grease. When I moved out of the neighborhood I was so excited they still delivered to my area.
Being take out and delivery there is really no "atmosphere" to speak of. They are prompt and always nice on the phone. If they forget something (which has only happened twice in the four years I have been ordering from there) they will bring it to you no questions asked.
The menu has a great range but stay away from the friend calamari- just doesn't travel well. I love the Curry Puffs which are like crispy samosas filled with potato and ground chicken a nice spicey sweet sauce comes on the side for you to dip. The Am Thai rolls are very crisp and delicious with crunchy cabbage, bean sprouts and carrots served with the same sweet spicy sauce.
I love their curries- all dishes done well with coconut milk and just the right hit of spice- you don't see a layer of that orange grease on top of these dishes. I love their tom yum ghai (sp?) soup as well. The note sof ginger and heat make a nice sweet and sour broth.
I have eaten almost everything on this menu and for a period of time I called so often they knew my voice and what I would order (I even got accustomed to saying "1 A as in Apple"). I highly recommend if you are lucky enough for them to deliver to you!
i like this place because it feels like you're sitting in mom's kitchen, kids doing homework and two busy ladies cooking up a veritable storm. they are the queens of multitasking one nod to the antsy young one conveys a message, "knock it off" or to the young lady, "do your homework" while the hustle and bustle of stirring and pots clanging, my time waiting for takeaway has elapsed in a nanosecond.
to me this place has a lot of yeses and nos.
some nos: fried rice, am thai roti and an adamant no- is the chive dumpling.
some yeses: massaman curry, red curry, and pad see-eu.
and some inbetweens.
the yeses outweigh the nos.
and they create new dishes regularly; i like that about this place.
::::::::o.k. better leave before mom makes me wash the pots and pans!:::::::
The best thai food I have ever eaten outside of Thailand. OK I have never been to Thailand, but if I had, I think the food would be just as good.
I love their pad thai (it's huge) and they have a great assortment of appetizers, soups, and salads. Definitely try the AM Thai Roti appetizer, it's kickass. The Bangkok Woonsen and the Laarb are my recent favorites. You also can't go wrong with the coffee or tea.
The vegetables are always fresh and everything I get is always yummy and luckily not too oily. I think the fact that they don't offer seating is a plus. It allows them to focus on the cooking, and not deal with waiter/waitress service. It definitely shows in the quality and flavor of the food.
They also have yummy banana desserts. I agree with the other reviewer that all they are missing is the ability to accept CCs! A+ for this place.
The physical location is a hole in the wall, I've only ever ordered take out or delivery, but the food is delicious. While it's not quite as spicy as actual Thai food, it's close enough to have a kick.
The best dishes are the noodle dishes, Pad Ki-Mow (drunken noodles) and Pad See-Ew are both excellent, and I recently found out they make great Khao Soi as well. If you're there in person they're very friendly, but I've found ordering on the phone can be a little difficult if it's busy, especially if you're far away.
The only real complaint I can come up with is that the Tom Kha Gai is very mild, and doesn't have nearly enough fish sauce in it. Everything else I've had from AM Thai has been better than any other Thai place in Park Slope/Windsor Terrace. I wish I could try more of their menu, but I can't bring myself to order anything but the drunken noodles.
Amazing food, Humble People, you can't go wrong. I order from Am-Thai kitchen at least once a week and I'm usually never dissapointed. They have a nice selection of apps, fried rices, and curry's. The Duck rock and roll is def one to try, the veggie chive and the pad dry curry is banging. Only complaint is with the lack of desserts other than that give it a go.
A life-saver for delivery in this neighborhood. Good pad see-ew, ginger vegetables with shrimp, massaman curry, and my roommate raves about their rice pudding!
Good thai food in the US means not loaded with sugar, and having plenty of strong spices, lime, ginger, etc, and they score well here. Delicious, fast, and cheap.
really great Thai food! we don't have many choices in Kensington, but Am-Thai is a gem! If you are vegetarian the Mock Duck Salad is delicious! My friends who eat meat order this dish! that's how good it is, and I love the basil fried rice too! Tasty! I have been ordering from here for years..I remember when it was a bubble tea shop. It was the first good restaurant in the neighborhood, and still the only one! unfortunately we are seriously deprived out here in Kensington. Always friendly and quick delivery. Highly recommended.
I'm down with these folks. They take care of me. I don't just want a drunken man, I want a drunken man made quickly. I want it to be fresh. I want it to be 7 on a spicy scale. I want it inexpensive. I want it with a smile.
DONE!
Hands down, this might be the best Thai food I've devoured in my whole existence. Although I haven't been to Thailand, it's one my goals to go soon! This is a super-tiny restaurant where there really isn't dine in unless if you're nice to the owner. They are great and it's a staple in my area! Oh, but wait (sounding like an infomercial), you'll never guess who goes here! Not to name drop or anything, but I will...Jessica Alba. Yes people, there is a picture of the owner and her on the wall.
Things to order here seem to be never ending, but I will highly suggest the following and be prepared to be blown away. I barely rave about New York restaurants, but I do believe this place is neck and neck with River Kwai (which closed down in Chicago)! The shrimp with avocado in panang curry hits the spot and tingles your buds with the perfect spice.
The Thai iced coffee is the best I've had in my life. Tops River Kwai two-fold in this area. I know...I must be fibbing, but I'm not! Their Pad See-ew is off the chain (exceptional for all you non-ebonic speakers)! I promise, you will not be disappointed if you come here. They deliver, but do not have a website setup yet. If you want dine in, they have a location that caters to this in Carroll Gardens.
Oh, if you happen to come here during lunch M-F, they're only 5 bucks! I would love to see this place stick around since it's the only good place in Kensington. It's dive places like this that make me appreciate true cuisine cooking!
We ordered a delivery, they took our address, I had to say it slowly three times...30 minutes later, no food. I called back and they said please repeat your address...waited again, still no food...the delivery guy called me, asked where I live, I gave my address for the 5th time, again, very slowly...he could never find my house, so 40 minutes later, they have food going to waste and I'm here looking for a new place to eat, hungry and annoyed.
The best thai food I have ever eaten! Great veggie options for us herbivores as well. Staff is very sweet and service is speedy. What more could you want? Drunken noodles and siam rice with tofu are where its at.
really good food. the drawback is that you cant eat it there. but i think it's the best thai food ive had.
the am thai roti and the BBQ chicken wings are two of my favorites
i forget what it's called but the fried rice with seafood is excellent too
5 stars!!
(i wish they took CC's!)
Okay, I don't throw 5 stars around lightly.
This place is awesome. The best Thai food in this neighborhood, which makes it the best food in this dining-deprived neighborhood. (Which is to say a neighborhood where the only edible food comes from the three competing Thai restaurants) Honestly it's arguably the best Thai food in NY.
I say arguably, because you have to know what you're going in for. This is street-style food, cranked out of a cramped, kitchen, smaller than the one in my apartment.
No it's not a restaurant it's a kitchen.
You can sit, if the weather's nice, at a beat-up table curbside, if you don' t mind the noise and the bus fumes. Even though I live half a block away, I still do this occasionally just because it seems to be such an authentic experience. Though I have not travelled to Thailand, I imagine the cities packed with home-cooking nooks just like Am Thai; where a lively family cranks out delectable traditional dishes as there children laugh and play practically under your feet.
Sweet and spicy and crunchy and fresh and tender and crispy. All of the contrasts that make Thai food so exhilarating... to go.
Go there, take out, or eat in for a "genuine experience".
Having eaten there about 50 times I recommend, curry puffs, drunken man noodles and crispy duck.
Love it! Appetizers are delish! I'm slowly trying to order everything on the menu (one at a time) but there is to many options and some things are too good to not repeat! It's a lovely family hole-in-the-wall kitchen, but the food is really flavorful and you get good portions for the price.
very tasty green curry chicken and they have a huge selection of food
An impressive array of Thai dishes for a place that only delivers (or you can pick up too), since the space they occupy constitutes nothing more than a kitchen. I've tried several dishes, including the Duck Thai herbal (very spicey), the Pad Thai, papaya salad (Som Tom), and the fried tofu, all of which were really yummy. On a frigid winter night, when going outside isn't at all appealing, it's nice that there's a good Thai restaurant that delivers, and usually in a timely fashion.
YUMMY!!! I love their tom ga soup, thai tea is delicious but a little over priced. (2.75) But their shrimp pai thai is YUMMERS and their pineapple fried chicken is a tasty treat. I love pretty much everything they make here, have always been a satisfied customer.
While the food at Am-Thai is really good, I won't be ordering from them anymore. I called in for delivery one day and was refused, because it was "too far and we are busy and we don't deliver that far" - even though did they deliver on quite a few occasions previously without any problems. Doesn't seem to be the right way to treat your customers.
Varies considerably based on who is cooking, sometimes its great sometimes it's not so hot. highly variable. When it's good, it's great, though!
The food is great and the owners' kids are adorable. It's a small place with limited seating but they do deliver. It's pretty low-key but the lights strung across the banner add a touch of class on warmer nights. Eat the food while it's hot and top it off with a drink from their menu.
