Consistently good food for many years now. Only feedback is try ti check in on your seating customer's at least once during their dining. I had to reach out each time I needed something
Hands down, one of the most authentic Thai restaurants II have ever had in the United States. (I am Thai) If you go to Thailand, most of them would probably taste like this.
TLDR - Great food, service, and vibes. My wife says the portions are just right. It's not too much and not too little. Drunken Noodles dish was chewy and delicious. Just the right amount of spice. Pad Khing Sod was delicious. Good counter to the spicy dish. Food came out quick during an early lunch time. The parking is rough but doesn't take away from the experience. Should find public parking which is 1 hour max on ParkMobile
Craving Thai after an hour at D&B, I found this place on Google. I got the Tom Yum soup and Drunken Noodles with chicken and they were both great. Portions are very generous!
My fiance, friend, and I enjoyed a delicious "second" meal after visiting La Malinche a few storefronts away. Service here was quick, and the food was good. The pineapple fried rice was very enjoyable -- it was served quickly and it was hot. There was a healthy helping of vegetables, and they didn't skimp on any part of it. We also shared the fresh mangoes and sticky rice, which was sweet and warm -- my friend claimed not to like mango when I ordered it, but she tried it and was pleasantly surprised. I also got a Thai Iced Tea. Yummy and a good size - not too big, not too small! Overall a good, easy choice. I would come back if I found myself in the area again!
Delicious food! The crispy crab rolls were a great starter to have, they were creamy, crunchy, with a nice crab flavor. The sesame chicken was tasty but it was the mango curry that stole the show - very flavorful and rich
I'm editing my review because we decided to try this place again. This time the food was fantastic! The flavor and spice levels were really good. The Dragon Noodles was my favorite so far. I would definitely come back.
As authentic as can be! This Thai restaurant will not disappoint your expectations. The fusion of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy is remarkable. Highly recommend the Duck Red Curry, Mu Ping (Pork Skewers), Yum Nua Salad (Spicy Beef Salad), and Tom Kha Soup. See pictures
