Food was very good. The place is neat and clean. Staffs seemed friendly and supportive. Just I felt the food was bit expensive. If someone is looking for authentic Thai food, this place is a must visit.

This place looks cute inside and parking is available. We went for my cousin’s birthday and the Basil Fried Rice and Summer rolls were great and Kao Soi and Roti were okay. There was a hair in my white rice which was really noticeable and I was annoyed because the waitress asked so many questions every few minutes but didn’t see the hair on the white rice? I asked her for chilli oil and Mango Sticky Rice too and she never brought either of those things. I think she was new which is fine, but it was inconvenient because of the fact that we were there for a birthday. UPDATE: I went back and it was so much better the second time. We had a different waiter and I was there for a date. The food was great, clean, and we weren’t bothered for hours. The place really is so cute and the food is great. It was just one bad server before.

Great customer service, food and drinks!!! This is my go to Thai spot. You got to check them out. Let's say... the truth!!!! They are always on point. This time around I tried the Tom Yum Creamy Hot Pot. When I say soooooooo delicious OMG!!!!! You go to try!! I love me a good soup. So flavorful with a lil kick to it. You can choose your spice level. I haven't had a meal yet that don't like. Parking is very limited. The lot is very small. You can park in the lot next door now.

5 stars Such a hidden gem in Downtown Houston! The place has a warm, cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. The food was outstanding—packed with authentic flavors, served piping hot, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was quick and efficient, and the overall quality was top-notch. I had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back. The only slight downside is the parking lot—it’s a bit tight and can get busy with a constant flow of pickup orders. But honestly, the food and experience more than make up for it!

The coconut shrimp were incredibly delicious, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect dessert. The Thai tea was also very good. I also enjoyed my main dish as well.
