“Pretty Average!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

The food was reasonable but certainly nothing great. The atmosphere is lacking and the furnishings austere. The blender behind the bar, used with great regularity, made conversation difficult. Don't go out of your way!

“Great lunches”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2012

I've eaten here for lunch a couple of times. They offer a full selection of Thai dishes, you can chose how spicy you want your meal, and get out for $10. When the weather is nice, they also have a nice outdoor seating area on the sidewalk.

“Not too shabby - good hotel food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2012

Overall, pretty decent, although they wimped out on the spice level of the curry. Fast delivery and reasonably diverse selection of foods. I would definitely eat here again.

Good service. The waitress was prompt and the food was delicious! It's one of two Thai restaurants on the road.
