I would give 4.5 stars. Flavor wise, this place is a top contender for fast Thai food (distinct from sit down Thai food). Price is on the higher side for fast Thai food.
Food I've tried: (* = my favorite)
- Note the prices are uber eats prices, which may be more elevated than eating at the restaurant.
- TAPIOCA BALLS WITH MINCED PORK* ($13): I don't know what I was expecting, but these were absolutely delicious. They are almost like mochi but with meat inside. The tapioca exterior is thinner than regular mochi, but nicely chewy. The inside meat is sweet and salty, and the ground peanuts adds a beautiful crunchiness. Since they are fried, they are on the heavier side. This order came with 8 tapioca balls, and given the heaviness I definitely could not finish all 8 at once. Objectively, they do come covered with a sheen of oil so perhaps not the healthiest, but despite my heart's objections my taste buds were very happy.
- PED KROB (CRISPY DUCK)* ($27) + RICE ($2): the duck was not overly dry nor salty. The outside batter was thick but light. I really enjoyed the sauce that came with the duck. It was sweet and tangy, and well seasoned. My only thing about this menu was that it doesn't come with rice, and there is an additional $2 for rice. $27 is a very decent amount of money to pay for a duck dish that is quite comparable to nice sit down restaurants, and I felt that they could have included the rice which is not very expensive to include. The jasmine rice itself was not mushy and it was well cooked.
- PAD THAI WITH CRISPY CHICKEN ($15): very standard dish, what you would expect.

Overall:
- Purely for the flavor and with an unlimited budget, it is a restaurant that pulls me back if I was really craving fast Thai food. However, for the portions I got the price is on the higher side. So I ultimately gave it 4.5 stars, as I will hesitate for just a second before returning to wonder "Do I really want this at the moment?"
