“ Gwoooooorl!! My knees were weak after eating this. It was very good. You can tell by how good a Thai place is by their spicy level. I got the hot level pad Thai and I was levitating. Definitely one of the many best pad I have so far. Got the chicken basil and basil fried rice, she was a smoker for sure, very Smokey flavor! I would recommend this for anyone who likes Thai food and are passing by Wilmington. Slaaaay mama!! ”
“ Everything we ordered was delicious. No wait time and the food was all well flavored and the portions were just right. Their mango sticky rice is delicious. It should be dessert, but I can eat five plates of them as my main meal. The edamame, Thai iced tea, mango sticky rice pineapple fried rice, curries and pho were a hit. The only minor complaint I had was that the pad see ew was not the flat, wide noodles that are normally served with this dish. They were more like wide glass noodles. Will definitely be returning. ”

“ Cute little place with some great food. We had the Kapow and the Angry Cowboy. Similar dishes, meat and vegetable in sauce and both come with rice, but the sauce flavor differed between the dish. The Kapow medium spicy had a good flavor with a kick but was not too spicy. The Angry Cowboy medium didn’t have much heat to it at all but the sauce has a good flavor. I definitely recommend getting the egg on top of the Kapow it compliments the dish well. The place itself is very small so I recommend a reservation if you have a a party larger than two. When we were there the kitchen was very backed up with to go orders but our food was still came out quickly. ”
“ What an absolutely spectacular meal.... The staff know what they’re doing. Fantastic Don’t forget the fish sauce on the side!!! Now that’s authentic Thai ”
“ 31 Jan 2023: My friend and I were warmly greeted when we arrived for lunch. The place was pretty much empty except for a couple of people. This is a small place that seats around 26-28 people (just a quick estimate, as I didn't count the seats). This is a great little place for some wonderful Thai food. They have a lunch special (11am to 3pm) with lots of good choices. While my friend and I waited for another friend to show up, we were served a small bowl of their soup of the day to start. I did wish the waitress had waited for our friend to show up. When she arrived only a few minutes later (we waited to eat our soup), she looked a little perplexed thinking we had already ordered our food and started without her. That wasn't the case. I ordered Drunken Noodles with pork. My friends ordered Green Curry with chicken; and Cashew Nuts with chicken. The vegetables in my dish were fresh and the pork was tender. My friends enjoyed their food too. Good portions for lunch and I had some leftovers to take home. Hot green tea for me in a very large mug, which warmed me up. If you're looked for some tasty Thai food with friendly service, I highly recommended this place. ”
“ Ultimate gem of Wilmington! Everything my family and I have eaten here has been delicious! Staff are great at acknowledging every customer that walks in (letting them know to have a seat wherever they choose and will be right with them no matter how busy they are) and great service! Restaurant is a tad small, but cozy. Servers immediately bring out complimentary egg drop soup to keep people from getting Hangry while waiting to order and getting main dish. Treat yourself and spoil your taste buds with AUTHENTIC Thai food!!! ”
“ I was looking for a spot for dinner on a weeknight and happen to see the sign for the restaurant. I chose to sit outside at a table for dinner. It was a nice view of people coming in going and made the wait for dinner seem shorter. They were a little backlogged and I think that they were pretty busy. Truly, it wasn’t that long of a wait though I chose the Kapow with the shredded chicken. The flavor was excellent! It was absolutely delicious. As much as I enjoyed it, I’ll have to pick something else on the menu to try the next time to see what else they have that I love. I’m guessing I can’t go wrong. I’ll absolutely be back. ”
