I must say, this place is top notch if you're a Thai food lover. Always service with a smile and a "have a great day and be safe/healthy" from the staff. Prices are reasonable and the food is tasty! I always get either the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) or the Thai Fried rice and have not been disappointed yet and neither will you!

I got the Thai Fried Rice for $11 and it was great. It was a good portion too, served with a rice soup. My Dad got the pineapple fried rice for 11.50. He said it was cooked well and he liked it.

The service was a little slow tonight, but only because the restaurant is so popular. The food is awesome, the service is very friendly, the atmosphere is plain and serviceable - no tablecloths. The room has a bit of a trailer feel, and we loved it

Love this place! Me and husband have had the sesame balls, pad thai, chicken and rice soup, sesame chicken, and Thai fried rice so far. All have been very good. The fried rice is the best I’ve ever had. The chicken and rice soup was also superb. I really appreciate that the chicken is cooked well (not dry) in the pad Thai, which I always seem to run into at other restaurants. Not to mention, the staff are all friendly and very attentive. Much appreciated! If we lived closer, we’d be here all the time. Highly recommend!

Really traditional pad Thai. I’m surprised that so many people in the area have embraced the flavors and aroma of the Thai food served here. For many the sauces can be untamed and foreign yet there is always a steady flow of customers for dine-in and carry out. If you don’t want Americanized and want to try authentic tasting Thai dishes then stop here and enjoy.

This is my favorite restaurant in Richmond! The customer service is amazing! I moved here from Denver and was so happy to find them! I eat here a couple times per week. Favorites are: Thai tea, pineapple tangerine chicken, and the sesame balls!

The place could use an upgrade inside, but I like the fact that it's very casual. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff are very pleasant. Just make sure if you go early afternoon that you're prepared to be done before 2 pm, which is when they close, then reopen at 5 pm for dinner time.

We were running errands while camping nearby and looking for a lunch option. Wow, we were surprised to find such a good Thai restaurant in the area. Food was served quickly, and it was great.
