First time visiting this little restaurant, looks very rustic I’m sure it’s family owned because everyone was very nice and welcoming, the food was delicious , traditional cuisine taste almost homemade. I’ll be back again

Always feels like eating home-cooked food! There's ala carte, and there's ready to eat food on display.My fave is their fried rice with shrimp paste and stir-fried pork and Chinese broccoli. And, don't miss to try their sweetened cassava. Reasonably priced meal. Very clean, enough parking spaces. Accept cash only.

HOoRAY!!!! CASH ONLY, just like Bangkok. . Flavorful and well worth the wait and patience. All time favorite ever! Top notch in comparison to other restaurants. Cook fresh when order to your spicy level: mild, medium, and very/ hot but can modify to fit your diet or allergies or preferential desire needs. Enjoy chicken or beef curry over rice, fried chicken rice without ketchup sauce, or sauce on rice from cashew chicken, pad see ew with beef, tom yum soup with SHRIMP, kra pao ta lay, basil mint GROuND pork to name a few ...or any of the dishes in the hot trays are excellent but preferably with white rice. Don't mix or combine the dishes when you spoon so you can taste. I like Thai Tea or Thai coffee but it disappears too quickly. Parking limited on site or street but available. Know what you want then order in advance before going. Sometime sold out... Enjoy¡!!

Cashew Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, and Pork Ribs are all straight fire. Thursday for a limited time they have Spicy Chicken that is well worth it. Bring cash and you're golden. The hole in the wall might not have the best service but the cheap price and great price has had me coming back over and over again. They are legitimately the best Thai I've had and I drive a hour just to have it.

Combination chow mein, seafood soup, chicken broccoli with chili, and white rice are our favorite items! My toddler loves this food, and he’s a picky eater!
