This family owned restaurant provides for a great meal and perfect place for an evening of family, friends and great Thai food. It is a small charming place traditionally decorated locale that gets packed quickly on the latter days of the work week and weekends. Take out is a popular option for the locals.
The crowd is an eclectic mix of modern corporate types, North County families and urbana skater/surfer hipsters.I started out with the Summer Rolls, 4 large, fresh rice-paper wrapped rolls of tofu, carrots, noodles and other veggies served with 2 dipping sauces that are superb, one warmed and sprinkled with peanuts. The Pineapple Fried Rice is a pleasant surprise with hints of coconut milk and lemon grass. The Curry & Panang were filled with savory flavors and made to order customized by the level of spicy heat from mild to extreme. The prices are moderate and provide a great value for the quality of food. I suggest you order family style so that you may experience multiple dishes to find your favorite.
The servers are gracious and remember their customers well. They make it a point to get your name and use it the next time you come to visit. They recall minor details and what your personal likes might be. For a small place, the comfortable atmosphere & moderate price provides you with an unexpected level of customer service.
