      Pretty solid Thai option for being in a grocery store parking lot. Extensive menu and everything I tried was good. Lots of interesting things to explore, beyond the typical Pad Thai.

      Crispy Shrimp: A fun crunchy appetizer that isn't that hefty, so won't spoil your meal. I actually prefer shrimp wrapped tightly in crispy spring roll dough more than typical shrimp breading. The sweet and sour dipping sauce is a great contrast to the rich deep fried cylinder.

      Khao Soi: So much comfort here with a rich coconut curry broth, thick soft noodles, crunchy noodles and a two big pieces of chicken. The chicken is bone-in, so there's a little bit of effort to pick it off with chopsticks. But it's tender, so not that hard to remove the chicken bits. Only issue is that this is so filling! I probably only ate 2/3, before I hit my max.

      Came here for lunch and food, presentation, and service was good. My boys got chicken green curry and pork kua gai, they enjoyed their dishes. I got tofu pad ped. My pad ped was too salty though.

      I brought my niece here for lunch. Service staff was polite and quick to bring the food. It was so delicious. Three words... fried pork belly. I would drive back down from LA to eat here again. The girls were so nice and the restaurant is set up to give people space and privacy it is very clean too! Thank you for a great time!

      Ample parking found on a weekday Thursday evening . Not that crowded and we were able to get the seating without reservation . Portion size was good and decent

      Got our usual takeout order - Thai fried rice and glass noodles and both were amazing as usual :) We also tried the khao soi - it was good but really rich and heavy and upset our stomachs so probably won't get it again. But highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great Thai food!

      Of my my fav thai spots now, at least for their crispy pork basil dish.

      I enjoyed how their pork is a lil on the thicker side and how it is not rock hard like in other places.

      Though the portion of the pork could be increased

      N nice flower presentation.

      Their sauce is insane. Very tasty

      This is our go-to for Thai take out. We have our favorites but make sure to ask for low salt on the order. Larb Gai, glass noodles, drunken noodles and the eggplant with tofu are delicious.
      Service is polite and efficient. Parking can be a bit tight as the restaurant shares a lot with Pavilions.

      Food here is so delicious and I just love the flavors so much. I also loved the thai tea. I came from Huntington Beach in Orange County, California to eat here. Can't wait to be back!

      Crispy pork broccoli is my go-to at any Thai restaurant and Aroi nailed it. If you're not a fan of spicy, ask for mild. Pork was crispy, chinese broccoli was fresh and crunchy, and it was saucy. It was served with a crispy sunny side up with a runny yolk. The portion size is huge and it's very worth it!

      Parking was easy, the restaurant is located in a plaza. We want to come back and try other dishes!
