    If you think this is authentic, you don't know anything about Thai food. Go to Sai Jai Thai/Lers Ros if authenticity is what you're looking for. Or better, Jitlada in LA. That's the best one!

    We were visiting from the UK and we found this to be pretty average Thai food but at three times the normal price. We were disappointed but maybe we're spoilt back home.

    This place is not authentic. They specialize in over salted dishes. Use the same sauce for everything
