MatthiasApril 15, 2020#thegreatamericantakeout : What I wasn‘t quite expecting was the heat... They are taking their spiciness serious! 🌶🔥👌🏼 WOW!! If you like it HOT, this is definitely a place to keep in mind! 👍🏼
- Athonia CappelliApril 18, 2014Vegan options abound at the lunch buffet. Salad dressing has mayo but items like spicy tofu, green vegi curry & Tom Kha Tofu appear totally free of animal products. Spicy tofu is just that! Cha-chow!
- Marissa CFebruary 19, 2018Friendly staff, quick service, decent Thai food. My green beans and beef was well cooked and spiced.
Susan CannonFebruary 23, 2016Great buffet! (Unusual for a Thai restaurant) Wonderful Veerkat art on the walls too.- Ramya SampathJuly 2, 2013Seriously delicious pad prikh king and panang curry! Some of the best Thai food I've ever had!
- Be sure to check whether they have mango sticky rice, it is perfect for 2 to share for dessert!
- Emmalouise BrownJuly 29, 2014Curry's are really watery, more like soup. Yellow curry is more spicy and Masaman sweet... completely wrong.
Jeremy GeigerFebruary 28, 2015The name is accurate. This is one of the few Thai restaurants I the U.S. That my Thai wife will go to
lunch buffet: items are replenished in small batches, so if you go before 2, stuff's likely to be freshly cooked. After 2, they slow down the kitchen and you're better off ordering from the menu.

"#vegan and #vegetarian types should avoid the tom Kha and tom yum soup. These have shrimp and other fish based broth. Otherwise, this place is fantastic for vegans. They have faux duck, chix and fish!"

"All of the noodle soups hit the spot! Very generous portions, too."

"Need a gluten-free dish? Just ask; we have gluten-free items such as, Pad Thai, Fresh Spring Rolls, and all our curries (Red, Yellow, Green, Panang, and Country)."
