A colleague recommended this Thai restaurant to me, so my partner and I decided to take our son here for his birthday. The restaurant itself is your typical local Thai spot—nothing overly fancy or extravagant—but sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and inviting. Our waitress, Crystal, was absolutely phenomenal! When I say she went above and beyond, I truly mean it. We never had to wave her down because she always seemed to know exactly what we needed before we even asked. Whether it was refilling drinks, anticipating requests, or offering thoughtful menu recommendations, her attentiveness was unmatched. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and although she's young, she carries herself with remarkable maturity and professionalism. You can tell she's a natural leader. Her customer service far exceeded our expectations. We ordered quite a feast! For starters, we had the chicken wings—five perfectly breaded and fried wings served with Thai sweet chili sauce. They were wonderfully crispy, and the sweetness of the sauce paired perfectly with the crunchy coating. We also ordered two small bowls of Tom Yum soup, one with chicken and one with tofu. Both were absolute flavor bombs! They were served piping hot and loaded with fresh vegetables, tomatoes, mushrooms, scallions, onions, and cilantro. Every spoonful was bursting with bold, authentic flavors. For our entrées, my son ordered the sushi regular combo, which came with miso soup, along with a salmon Philadelphia hand roll. Sushi is his favorite, and he was completely satisfied (and stuffed!). He even had enough leftovers to take home. My partner and I both ordered the drunken noodles with chicken. The rice noodles were a little thinner than we're used to—I'd describe them as "skinny thick" 😂—but they soaked up every bit of the delicious house-made chili sauce. The dish was stir-fried with basil, onions, and bell peppers, creating an incredible balance of savory, spicy, and aromatic flavors. Our entrées also came with a choice of soup or salad. We both chose the salad and tried the peanut dressing and the carrot ginger dressing. Both were fresh and delicious. We also ordered the Lovely Duck with ginger sauce, and it did not disappoint. The duck was perfectly crispy, incredibly flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. Crystal asked us how spicy we'd like our food on a scale of 1 to 5. We went with a 3.5, and it was perfect! Hot enough to make us sniffle a little, but not so spicy that we were crying. That's exactly our sweet spot. For dessert, we ordered the Thai sticky rice. My partner was absolutely thrilled to discover they used purple sticky rice instead of the traditional white glutinous rice. He was in absolute heaven! Everything we ordered arrived hot, fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. Combined with Crystal's exceptional service, this made for an outstanding dining experience. I truly hope the owners see this review because Crystal deserves a raise! She is a tremendous asset to this restaurant, and her level of hospitality is something you don't come across very often anymore. We will definitely be back very soon!

Oh my God never before have. I had a meal in a Japanese restaurant that was so flavorful. The service was amazing. It was done by a young lady named Crystal. I’ll never forget her. She listened to every word I said, knowing that I gotta go to Miami tomorrow cause Portugal we’re playing in Miami and we’re gonna whip Columbia, but nevertheless there young man here who is a waiter? Also, he looks like he played on the faster and the furious Tokyo drift. Lololoolooo nevertheless the service was incredible. The food was amazing. The spices that took on the point of the flavors absolutely incredible. This reminds me of a restaurant I’ve visited up in the tri-state New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area called Jade was another Japanese restaurant. the only difference between that place and this place is every Friday and Saturday night they had karaoke and I used to have a blast there with the owners we all saying and have a song and do this that just have a great eat, but this restaurant please if you’re ever around here stop by have yourself a bite to eat they’ll treat you like family.

Wonderful Thai restaurant in this plaza serving delicious food. Between the Volcano roll and the Thai sweet and sour chicken, I truly liked the chicken much more. The dish bursted with flavors and had a good amount of sauce to eat with your rice. The staff was very friendly. What i liked the most was the owner who was also the cook came to our table to greet us and she was spectacular. She was friendly and kind and even taught us some Thai words. I would recommend to come to the place for the good food and good energy.

I’m writing this review right after after trying the Tum Yum soup, it’s the authentic Thai flavor. And I tired the Thai basil, it also comes with the ground chicken which has the original taste. And also Miso soup was so delicious. Panang curry and red curry are also good. Papaya salad was also very good. We didn’t try everything but I believe everything here is very good. The server also brought the good vibes. Excellent service.
