Jacqueline: Try the papaya salad, and get the combo dinner with rice. Not sure what they do to the rice but it's delicious!
Julie Fekete: The soy chicken wrap and green power salad (with peanut sauce) are my two favorite items on the menu!

Tom Byrnes: Try the Star of Siam salad with green papaya.
Stacy Bo Bacy: The som tum (papaya salad) is perfect and the beers are cold. Noodles were a little bland and it’s all kinda pricey. Sadly, not many Thai food options in the area, so this will get you your fix.
@EdmundCruz: One of the better Thai restaurants the city has to offer. The prices are great and so is the food!
