★★★★★

“Great experience!! We've driven by so many times and finally decided to stop in. The appetizers were great, the spring rolls were huge and the peanut sauce was a perfect complement as always. The steamed dumplings were also good. The Tom Ka Gai (chicken soup with coconut, cilantro, etc) was delicious and very rush. The Pad See Ew was a beautiful mix of flavors and very well cooked. If you haven't been here, you have to give it a try!!”

“This is THE BEST Thai curry I've had in years!!! It was full of flavor, spiced right, and a large serving! My food came out fast and fresh! The stuffed shrimp app was great as well. We'll be making a trip to Long Beach for this!”

“The restaurant is not too big but very clean. I am very surprised that this restaurant has Vietnamese and Thai food, and Vietnamese beef powder tastes good. The most surprising thing is the dessert fried ice cream, really delicious!”
