Great foods, huge selection, reasonable price for cozy fine dining vibe. Foods are quickly served. I appreciate recommendations from the staff, especially for our dessert. The spiciness of foods isn't too overpowering.

Was looking for a Thai place in the downtown SF area and ran into this place. We ordered the Calamari, House Fried Rice w/ Beef, Fried Chicken and Spring Rolls to go. The Spring Rolls did not include any noodles, which I found interesting. Would not recommend ordering the Spring Rolls, however everything else we ordered was good, especially the Fried Rice. Prices are reasonable.

This was a take out. Their pad thai is seriously lacking in sauce, noodles were dry and chicken even drier. Maybe the other stuff is good but this was not tasty at all.
