This place is definitely a way better a alternative to panda. It?s actually taste fresh and it comes hot! We got the food with... out additional spice and it had a pleasant kick. They had sodas but they also had green tea, black tea, passion fruit and gingerlemonade and classic lemonade. I got passion fruit lemonade. It was sweet but you can water it down to your liking. They arevery generous with the ingredients a lot more ingredients and flavor notes then panda for sure! Super chic spot it?s a veryelevated Asian food place. Read more

I've ordered from this place a few times through doordash food always excellent today I decided to actually go to the store... itself and dine in.I ordered fried rice orange chicken egg rolls and cucumber salad not shown in picture because when I got it Itasted it - it tasted strange as I was looking through it I saw that the skin on the cucumbers had some black mold lookingthing growing on it I told the server he took it back offer me another cucumber salad which at this point I said no becausethere's no way I was eating it. Did not offer to refund me the cost of the cucumber salad or anything. Other than that the foodis great just not so much the attention to details. Read more

Get the Lunch Specials. Lunch Specials great price cooked when ordered. Rice bowls look good will try next time.

Good food, super tasteful. Think something between PF Chang's and panda express. The price is a little expensive but not overly... so. Got the cashew chicken and drunken noodles. Both tasty but noodles can be spicy so make sure you like that ???? Read more

This is a great Asian fusion with dishes from Thailand, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese. We had ordered Dan Dan noodles, Drunken... noodles, Pork dish with rice, and Short Ribs with rice. For dessert, we had the Vietnamese coffee soft serve and Corn flakessoft serve. The dishes were delicious although I thought that there was only a few pieces of meat in the short ribs dish. TheDan Dan noodles was tasty but was a bit much on the sweet side. Update: We had the drunken noodles and the chicken supergreen bowl. Delicious!! Read more

Well, if I had reviewed this place right after I came here for the 1st time several weeks ago I would have rated it higher. That... time everything seemed perfect, the rice was fluffy & perfectly cooked, the chicken sate juicy & tender. It was kind of wowbecause I had resisted coming here because the menu seem very generic & limited based upon Thai cuisine and there are a lot ofgood Thai restaurants in the area. I've eaten here twice since that 1st time and I'm sad to discover the inconsistency inservice & food prep quality because I thought this might be a place that could become one of my regulars. Today the rice wasundercooked to the point of feeling the raw rice kernels crunch in your teeth. And the chicken was rather dried out. The lasttime I was here several days ago, I got embroiled in a service nightmare. I ordered a salad w/o onions. It came with onions so Isent it back. No problem. Well, the salad never came so I went to the counter and told them, so supposedly they took care of it.Went back to eat my meal. Still the salad never came. Ate my entire meal and waited some more. No salad. So I had to leave.Nabbed a waiter & asked for a refund on my salad. She resisted & informed me that the salad was ready. She went looking, nosalad. I said just give me a refund. "Well, I have to talk to my manager". She goes away and never comes back. Finally I nab heragain & tell her to keep my $7 but I'm never eating here again. She goes off again and has a long conversation with anotherperson. Apparently about the salad. But still no one comes back to deal with me. I finally get the 2nd waiter & I get some longunbelievable explanation about the salad. (I mean, c'mon, you had 3 chances to get this right & still no salad). To her credit,she did refund my entire meal but even that didn't make up for the hassle. Maybe that whole thing was a one time fluke butprobably not. The inconsistency of the food quality, though, I think is a more unforgivable thing. And so d Read more

Food is delicious, the service was friendly, and the Vietnamese coffee- frozen custard Amazing! I've read reviews and... complaints about this place that I don't understand. This is not typical Thai food it's East Asian influenced food, peopleare complaining that's it's not like mom and pop shop Thai food, but they're not claiming to be mom and pop Thai food. They're great for take out and carryout it gets busy at lunch time for that reason, but other than that I've always been able to find aseat. Read more
