    This place is always busy and there's a reason why. The food is some of the best Thai food I have ever had hands down. Their soup, the choice of currys and their innovative use of vegetables is unprecedented. I could even give rave reviews about the rice. Its that good that even their rice stands out. And one bowl of rice is usually much like another but not here Everything I have ever eaten here is absolutely perfect.This other person must not know what good spicy real food is themselves...Go somewhere else then you don't like a place and you go back 2 more times WTFG?

    Worst Thai around....horrible: We've eaten here 3 times thinking it would get better. We see so many people in here we thought maybe we had ordered wrong. No. This place is awful. The people who like it must not have ever had really excellent (or even good) Thai. Sorry, for being so negative, but this place is really awful.

    If you want something spicy, I HIGHLY reccomend Siamese Basil. Being raised on Indian curry, I normally have to order spicy level 9 or 10 at most restaurants, but a 5 or 6 here will leave you with cleared sinuses, watery eyes, and a mouth on fire ALL in a god way. Their green curry is the BEST I've ever had. The flavor is right on. It actually inspired my friend and I to try cooking Thai (green curry specifically) at home. After many attempts, we decided to leave it to the pros. On the downside, I don't like how they charge extra for rice and the place is kinda small.
