Definitely will be back. Best Thai I’ve had. And I’ve tried many places in Utah. They are all pretty good. Thai time in Murray is excellent and this is on another level.

I feel somewhat bad leaving this review, because Fab Bistro really is a cute restaurant and they do work hard to do well. But, for whatever reason there are those nights when the cook really doesn’t know what he / she is doing. So I will say first that I have not tried 95% of the dishes thus cannot comment on those. But I have tried the Pad Thai and orange chicken. Twice the orange chicken has been like shoe leather or tougher. I feel like the chicken dries out over course of days and gets reused again with a sweeter and sweeter sauce until it’s like hard candy. I threw out my dinner and made my own orange chicken, it was absolutely delicious, tender, not too sweet, probably better than most Thai restaurants. Their Pad Thai is fine, could stand to be better. I will try their other dishes to be fair to them. Running a restaurant and trying to keep everybody happy is probably the most difficult job out there, I’m sure.

The Khai Soi is the best I've had in Utah. The mango curry was just alright. The staff was friendly and the people across from us ordered poutine and it looked great. I would totally go back.

The dish I ordered was cold and dry and the service was pathetic. Since we had a large group the gratuity was included and definitely not earned. I don't agree with adding gratuity to large groups, because of just that. The appetizers and my wife's and sons dishes were really good, mine just wasn't. The place wasn't busy at all, maybe 4 other customers, so I'm not quite sure why the food was cold and the server was non existent.

This is the best Thai food in SLC area, just beautiful cuisine, top quality dishes perfectly prepared and presented, with generous portions. The menu is diverse and unique, wonderful selections. The service and atmosphere are the best, the owner personally cares for customers.

We ordered pineapple 🍍 rice and Massaman Curry 🍛. It was tasty. The food is good but it's very pricey. I am not sure if I would go back. It's a cute place. Very clean and well decorated.

Great service! Lots of plants. Unique food presentation. The hostess/waitress was very attentive, and really cared about the experience of each of her guests while I was there. The plants and spaced out atmosphere was nice and private, in a way. I got the Pad Thai, and it was served inside what I can only describe as an egg crepe. It wasn't too much egg for the dish though, and I liked the little twist they added to the popular dish.

So many good options, and easy to have vegan dishes. I had lychee curry for the first time and it was better than I expected. The crunchy vegan was good, although a bit spicier than I usually like.

Fav Bistro is a hidden gem in Utah! The food is super good and the service is always nice. The curry and noodles are my favorite! I love their coffee and Thai tea as well. A must go!

Cute little Thai spot. Super welcoming & attentive staff, with a comfortable vibe (and amazing plant collection). The pineapple curry was fantastic! The pad thai was good. The boba did taste and seem like it was a day old which was a letdown.

I am always searching for great Thai food. We had take out from this bistro during Covid and although that crazy time is a bit of a blur, it had not made a lasting impression. My friends on Yelp recommended Fav, so why not give it another try. On a weeknight at 5pm, we were the first dinner customers and were seated right away. The atmosphere was clean, but a bit dated, with lots of plants. A few overgrown vines out front were even trying to sneak in the door. The staff was understated and polite. We ordered our usual to share. The food was delivered promptly and was fresh and nicely presented. The Pad Thai had an excellent flavor and neither greasy nor too sweet. We added shrimp and it came with some mixed in and 3 tempura fried on the side. Nice touch since you pay a premium. The Massaman came with about one cup of rice, so we ordered more. It wasn't my favorite. I prefer a creamier curry, I didn't love the deep fried tofu, and would have liked more vegetables. The Pineapple Fried Rice was attractively served in a half pineapple, we added tofu. But, the flavor was a bit blah. I enjoyed the fresh pineapple in it, but it lacked a lot of other add ins and didn't really wow us. We tried 4 cookies, made in-house, for dessert. They have very creative flavors, but unfortunately they were a bit dry and didn't leave us coming back for more. Overall, a fair feast, but it may be another few years before I try it again.

I knew it would be great because I have been to the sister restaurants. I had the glass noodle salad and garlic beans. Wow! They did not disappoint! We had an early dinner, 5:00. They had a good crowd already!! The service was good and the ambiance was just right! I think I've found my new favor Thai place!!

We tried stopping in for dinner tonight (1/31) and ended up walking out--something I've never done before. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The dining area was filled with dirty tables, which could have been understandable if they had just finished a dinner rush. However, we waited at the sign that instructed us to wait for a server for about 5 minutes, during which four takeout parties came in and were promptly helped at the cashier area, while we were not even acknowledged. Thinking we might be in the wrong spot, we moved to the takeout line. When it was finally our turn, we were told we had to go back to the first sign to wait. After another 10 minutes of being ignored, a large group came in, and a female server immediately greeted them. Even the group noticed we had been waiting first and pointed it out. Yet the server didn't even glance at us, instead walking away to clean a table for their reservation. With my background in service, I try not to be overly critical, but this was appalling. The aromas in the restaurant smelled amazing, but the lack of basic acknowledgment or respect completely turned me off. With so many other outstanding Thai restaurants nearby, I won't be giving Fav Bistro another chance.

The service was extremely slow. (I don't believe it's the waitress' faults though, they were running around like crazy. I think they may have been short staffed.) and the food was good, but only good.

First time at Fav bistro was a great experience! We ordered the cream cheese wontons, which the server said came with 5. She brought us 6 to split between the two of us! It was so thoughtful. I got the pumpkin curry and it was delicious. The rice came in this cute bowl with pigs on it. The space is nice and welcoming, I will for sure be back!

I love it when a restaurant appeals to multiple senses- sight, smell, taste, etc. This one definitely hits on them all. The décor is aesthetically pleasing with contrasting colors on the walls and ceilings, beautiful furniture and plants all around. It's not the trendy look that more modern places have, but it's a classic ambience that appeals to all ages. The menu is robust with options for every palate and the dishes that come out are equal parts beautiful and tasty. Nothing about it says careless or disinterested. The Thai Chicken Rice soup was delicious and the little chunks of ginger have a way of making my taste buds wake up and stand at attention. Service is slightly subdued and respectful, without being in your face. My friend and I were having a long, drawn out lunch and I think they recognized that and left us alone after checking in and confirming everything was good.

First time here. We enjoyed the Pho and coconut curry soup with shrimp! Being a chicken wing lover, had to try the sticky wings. Very good as well! We had really good service and the place was clean and inviting. Lots to choose from on the menu if you're not sure what mood you're in. We really enjoyed our experience and are looking forward to the next time!

Fav Bistro has all of the elements handled for creation of a great Thai dining experience. I met Annie many years ago when she was starting out, and rediscovered her wonderful food again when I moved to Murray. I have lived her cooking for many years, but she really has everything in her repertoire at Fav perfected. Consistently excellent, and she personally is her magnetic and gracious self. Everyone is attentive and friendly, and this adds so much to being in the beautiful environment, enjoying delicious food.

Our first time dining in at Fav Bistro won't be our last! We arrived early in the evening for dinner and were seated quickly near some lovely, big windows. Our server brought waters and took our drink orders immediately, then returned shortly to take our order. The menu indicated that chicken wings could take a while, so we ordered those for our appetizer. We didn't wait long, though! They came out quickly and were hot, crispy, with a super tasty sweet and sour-ish sauce. For our main dishes, we tried the seafood curry (with coconut milk) and the Kao Soi. Both were incredible, with unique flavors and generous portions. We're so glad this gem is in our very own Holladay neighborhood! We will be back to try more items from the expansive menu and are looking forward to checking out their breakfast, too.

I would usually always recommend this place to anyone, but I just ordered take out from here (I ordered the lettuce wraps), and I found 3 fruit flies on the lettuce leaves - one of which was still alive. It was gross and I threw away the rest of my meal. First time I've been disappointed in this place.

Absolutely delicious! The spring rolls with shrimp and avocado were the best I have ever had. They came with a wonderful, flavorful sauce. The fabulous drunken noodles with chicken were reasonably priced and a large enough portion for leftovers. The tofu stir fry with cashews was different and filling. We will definitely be back.

The service was very strange from the moment we walked in. First, they barely acknowledged our existence and then when we all were seated were super slow to take our order, the food took forever to come, then we never saw the waitress again. It got to the point to where we cleared our own table. Finally, their sign says they were open till 8 but in the middle of our conversation she insisted on being paid then turned on the house lights to tell us it was time to leave...like I said, it was the strangest experience eating out I've had in awhile. The food was mediocre at best and came out barely warm.

Fav Bistro is one of our favorite spots! I'd highly recommend any of Annie's restaurants, which each have a different spin on taste. We love the steak curry poutine which puts a super unique spin on the dish! I highly recommend the mixed grain fried rice, which comes with large vegetables and an egg, and has a ton of flavor. It is a sweet and romantic spot and the service is always excellent. Grab a cookie to go, as well, as they have super unique flavors and are mouth watering good.

I have a goal to try all the Thai restaurants in Salt Lake City and so far it has been quiet enjoyable. I haven't had a bad Thai meal yet! I got the Tom kha soup here which was delicious and then I got green curry. My friend got an omelet so they definitely had good that wasn't Thai, although I think it was Thai inspired. Either way this restaurant is great and the ambiance is really pretty. I like the art on the walls and the interior style. They have a patio as well.

My eyes might've been bigger than my stomach when we stopped here for dinner after a camping trip but everything on the menu looked so delicious. We ordered boba, an appetizer, and an entree each and could barely even make a dent in the entrees. I couldn't decide what I wanted, the whole menu looked so good! We each ordered a boba - I got a brown sugar milk boba, and my partner ordered the blended strawberry boba. Both were delicious - his was a little bit sweeter than mine. We ordered the avocado spring rolls as an appetizer, but they came out with our entrees. This was fine, because the boba was pretty filling anyways. I got the glass noodle salad with tofu and it was so delicious. There was so much food I couldn't even finish it and it didn't even look like I had made a dent. I took most of it to-go and ate it later that night. My partner ordered the massaman curry with steak and fries and his portions were huge too! We had never seen anything like that curry before - steak, massaman curry, and french fries, what a delicious combination. The service was a little bit on the slower side and we were there earlier in the evening and were only one of two tables. It took some time for someone to bring waters and take our orders, and then our appetizer came out with our entrees. It wasn't a huge deal, but something we noticed. Definitely wouldn't deter us from coming back because the food is delicious!

Our favorite restaurant. We have been dining here since it opened. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff and the food is always 5 star. We usually take out of state guest to Fav Bistro.

Love their food and service. We normally pickup takeout, but the indoor or outdoor patio seating is excellent. We normally order a pad Thai, spring rolls, and one of the curries. The house-made kombucha is crisp and refreshing. The lard nar and pad ke mao are also great items. We love buying their curry pastes and the red Thai hot sauce. So easy to whip up for a quick evening meal.

Ordered the pad thai, and was very disappointed, never had a pad thai taste so sugary. Service was fine and ambiance was nice, maybe their pad thai just sucks, but won't be back.

I'm really upset about the quality and serving sizes when you order for delivery. I ordered the drunken noodles and the portion was MUCH smaller than if you dine in. The green beans were expensive for how little you get and the popcorn tofu didn't even seem to have tofu in it, just breading and it was cold! The worst part is I spent $40.00!!! (Before tip for the delivery). I'm shocked at how low quality some of the food was for how expensive it is for basic items. Especially because whenever I dine in the food is amazing. I want a refund.

The food is fabulous! It's one of my favorites for Thai. The garlic green beans are to die for. The owner is very attentive.

I have been ordering take out rather often as of late, in an effort to support small and local businesses. It's been a lot of burgers and such, though, and craving something different that I couldn't prepare at home, I made my way to Fav Bistro, longtime resident of my bookmark list (Sister restaurants Chabaar and Tea Rose Diner are already favorites). I reviewed the menu online, and then called to place my order. The fellow I spoke to was nice enough, but seemed to struggle when putting each dish into their system. When I asked for pork with my soup, after an awkward silence following the declaration of "I just can't find pork on here..." (Even though it was a clear option on their website) I offered that I guessed I could have chicken instead. He estimated just under an hour for it to be ready, and we arrived right on the dot. The makeshift curbside pick-up area is pretty dingy looking (like, just take a few hours to refresh the paint and pull the rampant weeds). I curbed my judgement as all restaurants have been forced to make do with what is available, and with little to no planning. It seemed like an easy fix, though, and left a bit to be desired. I gave my name, and they brought the food directly the car about five minutes later. Back home, everything was well packaged and still hot. We had the following: Curry Puffs - Why are curry puffs so good?! Why don't I eat them every day? Fav's predominately feature lovely tender squash. The accompanying cucumber sauce is a sort of sweet and sour vinegar with bits of (you guessed it) cucumber along with carrots and onions. It is a delight, and just the foil required for fried dough. Tom Kar (Thai Coconut Soup) - The broth is beautiful: rich, creamy, sweet, and slightly spicy. Near as thick as a curry. Slivered swaths of coconut flesh keep friends with crisp tender carrots coins and numerous button mushrooms. I found myself wishing for more vegetables, and in the future, would request a side of steamed veggies to supplement (as I usually do when ordering curry at Anny's other restaurants). This was still delicious as a leftover the next day, though the fish sauce, or whatever seafood-based seasoning is in the broth, was much more noticeable. This is a family size portion, and came in two large carry out containers. My husband had cashew nut stir fry, which I only sampled, but it was tasty, with generous beef and lots of crisp tender fresh vegetables. Both of our orders included plentiful sides of rice. I love the creative menu options, blending Thai with myriad other cuisines, resulting in unexpected entrees like Steak Massaman Poutine, Shrimp and Grits, fish tacos, and crepes (that's right, there's a whole bunch of breakfast dishes, too!). My only real complaint is that the prices felt about 20% too high. I wonder if dining in, it might feel more appropriate. On the other hand, yeah, my soup was twenty bucks, but it also made two very filling meals. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would return.

The Pad Thai had no flavor and the Khao Soi tasted like it was from a can. Very disappointed experience and too pricey.

Slow service and upset tums :( The good reviews and charming atmosphere promised a great dining experience, unfortunately I didn't have one. I imagine COVID has hit this business hard, when we walked in the place was deserted. There was no staff to greet us, but we heard people talking in the kitchen and decided to wait. We located some menus and after a while a gentleman saw us when he came out with a takeout order and seated us. We were the only customers, but service was slow throughout the meal. We ordered the Chicken Pho, Pad Woon Sen, and Grilled Chicken, as well as a Thai Iced coffee. Everything but the Pho arrived in takeout containers. The food was good, aside from the chicken being cold - it didn't look like it was just made - the kitchen warmed up the same dish after we requested a new one. The portions were sizable, but I felt the meal was pricey for the experience we had and level of service we got. I thought the iced coffee was so delicious I ordered one for myself as we were leaving, it's very strong - the flavor reminds me very much of Coffee Rio hard candies. Unfortunately the coffee left us both feeling ill immediately after and for the rest of the day; being a hard-core coffee drinker and enjoying many other Thai iced coffees in the past with no issues, I have to assume something in our drinks may have been spoiled.

My. Mind. Is. BLOWN. Wow. Wow. Wow! I've had Thai/ Vietnamese food in MANY places. I've searched high and low for the best in my area and the places I visit. Well, stop searching people. I FOUND IT. This is the Fav to my new FAVorite Thai and Vietnamese eateries. Tonight we ate as a group of three and ordered four dishes and left with half of every dish as the servings are very generous. I am unsure of the name of one of our dishes, but we also ate Thai Coconut Soup (served in a real coconut!) , Massumum Curry w/ tofu (my FAVorite) and Pho w/ beef. Without a drip of embarrassment, the first bite of food created a reaction out of myself that I have not felt in a long time. I dropped my cutlery along with my jaw after the first bite of Thai Coconut soup. After that it was all moans and curse words in delight. When Rosie, our very kind and attentive server brought the check, it was accompanied by VEGAN, orange zest, chocolate chip cookies!!!!! BELLY FULL. HEART SO GLAD!

Super great massaman curry some of the best I've ever had! Wish the veggie included tofu instead of having to additionally add it, this was a bit overpriced in my mind but overall definitely worth it!

Located on the Far East Side, this quaint little restaurant shares a parking lot with Pig & A Jelly Jar. The layout feels open with wide windows and lots of sunlight that shines through. They serve Thai food and American brunch. I recall coming here once before a long while ago and this is the 2nd time I've been here now. The first was for dinner and now for brunch. The staff is very polite. We were given lots of time to look over the menu and make a decision. I ordered the Open Face Avocado Tomato Melt and I did enjoy the multi grain bread and fresh avocado, however, I was not very happy with the square of cheese on one side and then shredded cheese on the other. I felt like having the square of cheese made it look so basic and I could have made this at home. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't memorable either. I also ordered the coconut pancake as a sweet dessert after and it was okay. Again, not too memorable. My cousins tried the Thai omelette and had inquired if it was similar to banh xeo (Vietnamese omelette) and was told "No." When the food came out, it was very similar to banh xeo. Maybe they didn't consider it comparable but, it was very similar! I also ordered a Bloody Mary and i enjoyed it with the spicy kick! They did include one stick of asparagus. I would recommend adding some more garnishes like olives, bacon, shrimp! It would bring it to another level!!! The ladies enjoyed the $3 mimosas! Stop in, give it a try! Noticed a lot of people there for brunch, probably for the Thai food!

Fav Bistro is a wonderful place to dine. The flavour in their dishes is unmatched in my experience around this area. It is my favourite place to eat and nervous times I have gone up for take out as I want to relax at home with a good meal. Great job in creating such wonderful dishes.

We love Thai food, what we got tonight was pretty much inedible. Pad Thai with chicken, chicken was so dry even my dog wouldn't eat it. The noodles were overcooked and a stuck together heap. Chicken panang ordered one step above mild was so spicy my husband couldn't take more than a few bites, he normally orders spicy but this was over the top. We ordered takeout otherwise would have sent it all back. Would not recommend. Giving one star for ease of ordering.

Kelley Ann B.

Yelp
Our first time ordering, the food was terribly disappointing. I had Chix Pad Thai. The noodles were gummy, no flavor & overcooked or maybe had been sitting all day. The chicken was thin and tasteless. The Vegetable Fried Rice was mushy and greasy and it seemed like it too had been cooked this morning!! My husband also ordered the grilled steak. He said his was just ok. Bummer! Won't order from here again.

The food was really good and pretty unique compared to most of the Thai restaurants in Utah. We drove quite a ways to get their pineapple fried rice in a pineapple shell, but also enjoyed their other offerings. The pumpkin curry puffs were delicious (make them bigger please!) and I enjoyed the waterfall salad. The garlic green beans were also really good (though a tad underdone for our liking.) My husband got massaman poutine fries which were an interesting twist and came in a huge serving. The waitress who helped us was attentive and the food came out fast. 4 stars because the food did seem to be on the more expensive end for Thai food and didn't seem different enough to warrant the significant price. P.S. they have an extensive breakfast menu.

Amazing, delicious, Thai food, right in Holladay. I live up the street and finally decided to give it a try. It's a little pricey Thai food, but so good! We had to try a little of everything, that's how I roll. Pineapple fried rice - so flavorful, with shrimp and perfectly cooked rice, highly recommend! Pad Thai wrapped in an egg shell with chicken and shrimp. Again, we loved it! So delicious!! Green curry with chicken - everyone's favorite. Sweet and sour chicken - yummy. Mix the curry and the sweet and sour together, and you get an explosion of flavor in your mouth. We got a seafood dish, maybe pad char seafood?? I can't remember, but this was our least favorite, don't get it. Our kids had ramen noodles, and the rice bowl, and they loved it. Great portion size! If your in the area, you must try it.

One of the reasons I really like this place he that not only do they have good food, the dining ok their outside patio is really nice. The customer service is good and they are really attentive. Ate there yesterday for lunch. Got the shrimp spring rolls. Love these. The chicken satay (was a little dry) but normally good. Their green curry is always flavorful and delicious! Their pad Thai in a blanket is the best. Got with shrimp today, and they are plump and juicy. Almost like mini lobsters. A few came outside that were battered and fried. Super delicious. If you haven't tried their vegan cookies, it's a must try.

FAVorite place for many and it spiked my interest. Been looking at this location for a while but until now I finally got a chance to go. When walking in to fav bistro it seemed very fancy. Beautiful interior design - fancy with a bit of old school chic if I would say. There wasn't a hostess when we went. The waiter just sat us. I guess it's not that fancy esp with it being dinner time. The place wasn't as pack as I thought it would be as well with the high ratings. The food here was good. I just wish there was a heat scale for us to chose from. I ordered a bunch of food but wish they would ask me if I wAnt hot, medium or mild like a typical Thai place. Well they didn't and trying to get service to get some hot sauce or chili powder is just ridiculous. I think I saw a different waiter every blue moon. Now to the food...the food was good with the lack of heat. There is the typical Thai stuff but then there is also a fusion unique twist at the back. I ordered the pumpkin curry puffs, pineapple fried rice and the young coconut chicken curry dish at the back. The pumpkin curry puff was excellent except for presentation. It looked like fried wontons instead of a puff. The stuffing was delicious. Pineapple fried rice had a beautiful presentation and excellent taste. It came out with half a pineapple as a bowl and some slices of pineapple. The pineapple in the rice was nice and sweet as well. The young coconut chicken curry came in two sections. Half in a young coconut and the other half in a bowl. The only think pecking for me was a bit of heat. I had to add some chili powder to it and it was excellent after. I wouldn't be as disappointed with this place if it actually matches with what it want to be. It looks fancy but I guess keeping up with fixings was terrible. The table I got was overly wobbly. It's like a game of chance of "would the table collapse on me or the next customer". The service could use a bit of improvement too.

This was a delicious discovery yesterday, Thai fusion that really landed and delivered a great dinner for our first yellow-phase date night! We arrived at the restaurant, that provided limited and spaced-out dine-in, which was only one of a number of COVID-19 precautions we observed. We are grateful for those precautions, and the opportunity to dine-in and feel a little reminder of life prior to the pandemic. The food was brought to us, picnic-style, prepared for takeaway, but we plated up our chicken lettuce wraps, spring rolls, wontons, and dumplings and enjoyed the most chill dinner we recall this year. We loved our experience here and appreciate the opportunity to try a new restaurant and support local businesses. We look forward to future evenings at Fav Bistro! Thank you.

Terrible service! I went for lunch. The food was delivered and no one ever returned to my table until I had to repeatedly try to wave down a server ( any server!) for a take home container. Food is decent, served hot, but the service was so bad that I will not return. They were not very busy (4 tables, 2 servers).

Great Local Thai Food! You can order pickup a d they will deliver to your car! (During this Covid-19 time) I love the curry and they serve Boba tapioca ball sweet tea! My only complaint is sometimes the noodles are overcooked and the food is slightly under seasoned.

We had brunch at Fav Bistro and absolutely loved it! Located in Holladay, the restaurant is beautiful inside. The service is attentive and they make you feel so welcome. We were even lucky enough to meet the owners, Anny and Jeff! Hearing their philosophies on second chances, supporting growth of local businesses (competition is good!!) and promoting healthy living from their purified water on up to encouraging fermented foods and kombucha gave us huge amounts of respect for them. Not knowing what to expect at brunch at a Thai restaurant I was initially relieved to see the menu features American style entree's as well as many Asian influenced selections. Fortunately for us we were encouraged to try some of the Asian breakfasts and they were AMAZING! We started with their Thai Omelet. It is so so yummy, the batter is made from egg and coconut milk. It was filled with chicken and served with raw veggies on the side for that added crunch. There is THE MOST delicious sauce to pour over the top as well. We also shared the Joke, which is rice porridge and a hugely popular breakfast food in Asia. Not only was it so delicious and flavorful, it was also somehow comforting, if that makes sense. I can see why it's such a loved morning tradition. It has chicken, egg, ginger, green onion, carrot and cilantro. From the American side of the menu we shared the very unique Breakfast Salad. I never would have thought of having a salad for breakfast but it works! It has a mixed greens base topped with carrots, hash browns, bacon, tomato, poached egg and drizzled with a delicious dressing. The Gypsy Toast was not only beautiful but SO DELICIOUS! It's stuffed with mascarpone cream cheese and topped with yummy berries. The Thai Fried Egg was a surprise hit - underneath the egg we found a huge pile of rice and veggies!! We're talking broccoli, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and red onions - a ton of them!! My new favorite thing ever is the Kow Gunn Mai and Ginger Sauce - chicken and the best garlic rice ever with an amazing sauce for the top. Holy. Yum. We can't wait to get back to try more deliciousness!! (I have my eyes on the Thai Coconut Pancakes with Chai butter ). Thank you to owners Anny and Jeff for sharing your incredible food and your life philosophies with us. Brunch at Fav Bistro is amazing.

Went on a busy Saturday night without reservations. Took about 15 minutes to get a table but it was well worth it. Ordered Pineapple curry, pad thai, and cashew stir fry. Everything was delicious. Nice size portions so we can have some leftovers at lunch today. Friendly, nice homemade touches like sauces, cookies, and teas that you can take home with you if you check out at the counter. I'll probably stop in to try their boba teas and cookies at lunch time one day soon. Definitely will be back!

Visiting our daughter in the area she suggested this restaurant for lunch . I'm no expert on Thai dishes but we all enjoyed our selections and the service was great considering we arrived right after they opened . Enjoyed the feel of the inside of the restaurant and the food was authentic and delicious. I had the Pad Thai but I had no use for the egg blanket over it but the flavors were my reward . My wife had a stir fry option and my daughter a yellow curry selection . They have many choices on the menu so go and enjoy...
