The Best New Restaurants in Denver Right Now, Spring 2025 | Eater Denver

"Strikingly decorated with intricate pendant lights against a backdrop of gold and black, this Thai arrival in Uptown has more than just good looks going for it: Elegantly presented plates both classic and creative are its stock in trade, be they garlicky, chili-laced “heatwave shrimp” and tom yum-flavored fried rice or sticky rice-crusted ribeye and spicy spaghetti with scallops. To pair with it all, a full bar focused on cocktails infused with tropical ingredients like coconut, passion fruit, and lychee." - Ruth Tobias

A terrific addition to the neighborhood! Menu is fairly simple but the food is high quality and presented beautifully. I went basic and got the Pad Thai and it was great to see it presented in the traditional way; noodles in the middle with the crushed chilies, ground peanuts, and sprouts on the side. Let me tell you, it was definitely a fantastic plate of Pad Thai and exactly what I was hoping for. It was delicately sweet and tangy. Just beautifully done. The cocktail I ordered was terrific as well. I also love the atmosphere of the place. Really stunning.

My friend and I went into Som Dee on a Thursday evening around 8pm. First, we were pleasantly surprised to find a live Jazz band playing when we walked in, giving the dinning area an amazing ambiance. The whole staff was so friendly and always timely. The food came out hot and fast. My friend and I split the drunken noodle and green curry with jasmine rice. The food was absolutely incredible, the best Thai food I've found here in Denver. The food is reasonably priced and the owner hand delivered a complimentary dessert for us! This brand new restaurant is tru an amazing experience at Som Dee, we will definitely be back soon! 10/10 food and service was amazing. Must try restaurant in city park area!

Excellent services and food! Both waitstaff and bartenders provided great services - friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple of starters and entrees which were excellent and quickly provided. The restaurant was clean with a gentle environment. Great last meal for us in Colorado visiting from out of state.

This spot has an amazing atmosphere—ideal for a date night or a dinner out with friends. The signature cocktails are beautifully crafted and taste fantastic. The food was delicious, with impeccable presentation. My top pick was the spaghetti and scallops—a unique twist on spaghetti infused with authentic Thai flavors. I loved it so much, I found myself craving it the next morning. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu and soak in the chic, sophisticated vibe.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The service is warm, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is out of this world. Every dish is packed with authentic Thai flavors, and it’s clear how much care goes into every meal. Easily the best Thai food in Denver!

This restaurant puts an incredible amount of thought into reusable tableware for children. I want to emphasize this as someone who feels guilty everytime we get a Togo cup and straw for my kids. I appreciate this effort so much. On top of all that, the atmosphere is elegant, the food is delicious and the service was great! We will definitely be back. We had the mixed appetizers, the calamari, grandmas fried chicken, papaya salad, khao soi with crispy chicken, drunken noodles and the mango sticky rice. All delicious.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely decor and a great menu. Quality Pad Thai. I got the Lamai pad Thai which was on the sweeter side but I like things that way. The taste of this was very good and the veggies were fresh. The only downside to this dish is the literal lack of depth. This plate cost $21 dollars and was on the smaller end of portion sizes. It filled me up perfectly without making me feel gross but for $21 I would Hope for a few more bites. Overall good experience. Service was good and fast. I would come back to try other items even considering the price.

Ambiance- when you enter the restaurant, you immediately see that it is not anything like a typical American style Asian food restaurant. It is elegantly appointed with a comfortable, slightly romantic ambience; while not being too dark so that you can't see the food or who you're talking to. Although there is a bar, it doesn't overshadow the dining experience of the restaurant. There is seating available inside and outside, which is nice . We were there on a Thursday and they had live Jazz music playing outside the Restaurant. The hostess was welcoming and the online reservation system worked perfectly. They accommodated our reservation even though we were 15 minutes late. Service- The service was excellent; plenty of staff to meet our needs. The server and support staff were very attentive, providing water and drinks without hesitation. The busser cleared our dishes as soon as we completed each course; yet we didn't feel distracted or overwhelmed. Our server was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The service was very fast but flowed perfectly with each course. Food- the star of the evening. Full of flavor, with sweet and savory melding together in harmony. Every dish was a visual delight. Wonderful blend of Thai spices, citrus and heat to amp up your palate. There was nothing ordinary about the food. It was prepared with mindfulness of detail and taste. My dinner guest commented on the perfect use of cinnamon and other spices creating a delicious flavor sensation he had never experienced before. My dish was a citrus extravaganza over a crunchy, fresh salmon salad. Overall, the best money I've spent on dining in a long time.

This is a really pretty place on 17th street in the North-ish Cap Hill area and the key thing is the ambiance inside. It would be good for a date night! Or, if you want to enjoy the weather outside, they do have some bar seating that is still outside along with a few tables. The food wasn't perfect for me, but I can't find any pad thai in the Denver area that is *not* red and sweet. In many other places and in the midwest the pad thai is much better, it is not sweet at all, yellowish in color, and savory. That's how I like it and if anyone knows where to get this good stuff, please enlighten me!!! The spice level was very high! I can't remember which way they did it here, if I ordered a "medium" or a 2-3 heat level, but I never go more than that and that pad thai was SPICY! A tad too much for me. So, I'd go lighter and you can always ask for some hot seasoning on the side to control it better. The lunch combo came with a side, as well, I went for the veggie pot stickers. I don't normally do dessert, but I really like mango a lot so I wanted to try it here. The mango mousse was very good, I'd only edit it by *not* pouring the sugar liquid over the top, it didn't need it and made it less good, and more mint would be a nice addition, it really paired well with the mango and light sweetness. The menu underwhelms me a little bit, mostly the standard stuff, so I hope they revisit it a bit and get a little more unique with it. I'll have to check out their curry and tom yum, though I prefer tom kha a bit more because I love coconut milk. And these are all winter foods, not something I typically eat in warm weather.

We grabbed takeout from Som Dee Thai Kitchen and Bar and loved the vibe as soon as we walked in. The hostess was super friendly and welcoming, and even just picking up our order, we could tell the restaurant has a great atmosphere--modern, stylish, and with a very cool-looking bar. We're already planning to come back and dine in. The food was on the pricier side, but it was good and hit the spot for thai. That said, we would've loved a bit more heat, so next time we'll probably ask for it spicier. Looking forward to trying more from the menu!

Upscale Thai restaurant in the Uptown area of Denver. The ambiance is great and clearly well thought out. Can work for date-night or a birthday dinner with great Instagram-able backdrops. They also have a great patio seating area that I can imagine will be well used in the summer months. The food was OK but not stand out at the prices charged and the quantity was a bit disappointing. We went for lunch and the portions were tiny for only a few dollars less that the dinner price. I left hungry and had 2nd lunch a little later. The service was fantastic, a caveat was that we were the only table eating lunch that day so they were not busy and devote full attention to our group.

Have been to Som Dee a couple times now. Love it. Great modern thai spot here in Denver. Their wings are delicious. Their larb is refreshing. And, their chicken satay is savory and uniquely presented. Also, have tried their khao soy and its delicious. It is on the pricier side, but offers great fishes and even better cocktails. Loved every drink I'ce had here especially the one with chai in it and a toasted chocolate.

I've always been obsessed with Thai food, but I'll admit that I've kept it pretty basic. My go-to has usually been Pad Thai with chicken (medium spicy, of course) or a Panang curry. And while I stand by both, I finally expanded my Thai food horizons thanks to a visit to SomDee and a fantastic waiter with even better recommendations. Let's just say: a) I broadened my Thai food knowledge b) I had an incredible meal c) I now know there's a world beyond Pad Thai (but yes, I still ordered it too) So let's dig in: What we tried: Triple Treats - Crab wontons, pork egg rolls, and veggie pot stickers Shrimp Jungle Jam - Flat rice noodles wrapped with red onion, carrots, and basil, topped with grilled colossal shrimp, spicy sauce, crispy onions, chili oil, microgreens, and mint Lamai Pad Thai - Stir-fried rice noodles with chicken, egg, sprouts, green onion, and a lemongrass-kaffir lime twist Shrimp Khao Soi - Egg noodles in a creamy yellow coconut curry with crispy noodle topping, fried onions, cilantro, and lime Thai Tea - Classic, rich, and refreshing Pink Sway, Pink Slay - White wine, vodka, lime, strawberry, lychee, and rose Big Sister - Mi Campo Tequila, watermelon fruitful, soka empirical, and lime juice Best bites & sips: The Shrimp Jungle Jam absolutely stole the show as it was spicy, layered, and unlike anything I've had before. The Lamai Pad Thai was also a standout, with that lemongrass twist taking it up a notch. And the Khao Soi? Creamy, comforting, and super flavorful. I seriously can't wait to go back and try even more!

First off, the food is pretty good. It's spacious and there's plenty of street parking you can find for free. This is definitely a fancier Thai restaurant. Once the sun goes down, the ambience does too and it gets dark and lightly lit. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Everything we got was pretty tasty. The Thai iced tea wasn't overly sweet so I like it. Each dish was presented so beautifully. The dishes were pretty flavorful. It came out with more food than I had expected. You could easily eat a dish on your own or you can order a couple dishes and share. The dessert was pretty good too. The sticky mango rice wasn't super sweet so a light dessert. Overall, this is a solid Thai restaurant if you're craving for Thai a you're in the area.

New favorite discovery -- top one of 2025 so far! Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, lit up with shining gold Thai chandeliers -- but the food and drinks are fire! And the service is all so nice! - Thai iced tea is my obsession, and they have a cocktail version! - Super creative and tasty cocktails and mocktails - I'd come back for the spicy papaya salad alone The chicken satay is unbelievably tender and juicy, full of yummy lemongrass, and what a presentation! - Love the spicy Tom Yum soup -- especially for winter - The Ka Pao (Spicy Basil) was a surprise table favorite, with the runny egg and spicy beef laarb I've already made my next date night reservation -- so you know I loved it!

This restaurant looks good in pictures, the reality was very different. Eaten at many Thai restaurants around Denver, by far this was the worst. Service was not good. Apart from the initial offer of drinks no further drinks were offered. The appetizers tasted like something you'd buy in the frozen section of Soopers and then throw in a deep fryer. The calamari was plain awful. My entree was a curry, it did not taste like a curry at all and was so overly salty it was not edible. The only good dish was the mango mousse desert. All up more than $200 for 3 people - low grade food, low grade service - the place might be ok for a drink and the ambience, but there's plenty of better Thai offerings in Denver.

We went last night for my birthday dinner and omg was it fantastic! First off I loved the vibe with the music - they were playing Odesza and other EDM vibey music. The decor was fantastic and the logo is so cool. The staff was so friendly and nice as well. We ordered the crab cheese Rangoons and the calamari - both were incredible. I really like that the crab Rangoons were the typical shape, made it easier to eat. The calamari came with a wonderful sauce and was just perfect. You could order your spiciness levels on the dishes which was nice because I don't enjoy very spicy. My husband had the spaghetti scallops and I had the Khao soi with coconut shrimp. The spaghetti shrimp was a unique blend of Thai and Italian flavors. My husband enjoyed it. The Khao soi reminded me of my trip to Thailand. The broth was so flavorful and delicious!! I loved it! I ordered mild and it had a tiny bit of heat to it. I loved the presentation on it but I thought the raw onions weren't small enough/kinda weird. The coconut shrimp could have been more coconutty but it was still delicious.

They have really nicely done decor and lighting. The service was great and multiple servers jumping in to help and walking around enough to catch their attention. The chicken satay was over a little flamed pot which was very neat. The thicker peanut sauce was a tad cold which cooled down the satay but the flavors were good. Had added beef for our noodle dishes and think the beef upset our stomachs and created a lot of gas which was not good for sleeping. It did taste good but it wasn't ideal. Kind of a simple and small menu. But it had the typical Thai dishes. Medium did have a bit of a kick to it.

New restaurant in my neighborhood! It was packed and we sat at the bar. It was the bartender's first day and it did feel like he needed to get his feet under him a bit but looking forward to them settling in. Food was great although expensive. I got the drunken noodles + appetizer plate + Tom tum soup + two beers and it came out to $100. We got the spiciest level for the drunken noodles and it definitely had a solid kick. I'm not sure if it's worth the price point but I'd recommend checking it out if you're in the area! I love Thai food and here's definitely a better one.

This review is for delivery. :) It's been challenging to find an awesome Thai restaurant in Denver, CO, after returning to my hometown, after 20-years away, spending 5+ years in the San Francisco Bay Area/Silicon Valley, and 10+ years in Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C., where there is ample Asian food in both SF & DC. I found another Thai restaurant I loved, but they sadly don't deliver, so Thai comfort food is not that comfortable, driving to pick-up. Also, they're closing in May, sadly. Enter Som Dee Thai Kitchen, saving the day, and delivering!! Woohoo! I ordered my classic litmus test last night: Shrimp Pad Thai + Chicken Pad See Ew, and both were delicious. Highly recommend, and will definitely be ordering again soon!

I've been anxiously awaiting Som Dee's opening in the Uptown space previously occupied by Patxi's, and the wait is at long last over. The interior has been given a sexy new vibe, and it's clear there has been a lot of attention given to the details, from the lighting and wallpaper, to the table setting and service items. It looks like it will be a fun place for a stylish dinner out, and the price point reflects that vibe as well (read: this is not an inexpensive takeout joint). The menu includes some interesting riffs, as well as the usual favorites. They're currently operating a lunch service, with a limited selection of certain entree items that are served with a small appetizer (potstickers or salad) for $18. I tried the Pad Thai with tofu and side salad, along with an order of Crab Cheese Rangoons and Thai tea. The food arrived in fairly short order (I was the only patron at the time, but a couple more tables were occupied thereafter). The rangoons featured black pepper, a touch I haven't experienced before, and were perfectly fried. The Pad Thai was sweeter than I tend to like mine, though probably on par with a lot of local preparations, and I liked how it beautifully featured the accompaniments, including some rarely seen garlic chives. All in all, looking forward to checking out Som Dee more in the future.

Our first time dining here and we loved it! Hostess was so friendly and kind. Our waitress helped us to choose our entrees and we both left with happy taste buds and bellies! The ribs were so tender and delicious. The Khao Soi with coconut shrimp was amazing. I can't wait to go back! My cocktail was so yummy, too! Highly recomme

Food was good. Service was great. Ambiance was nice and was clean. For appetizers we ordered the chicken potstickers and the crab cheese wontons. Potstickers were the smallest we've ever had and seemed like they were reheated. The crab cheese wontons were very pretty. About half way through them, I realized that I hadn't tasted the crab yet. I peeled the last 2 open and not one smidge of crab to be found. Zero. I thought maybe the menu had just said cheese wontons and I was mistaken about them being crab. I've never heard of that but always a possibility I guess. (When the check came, it did say crab cheese wontons)....very disappointing. For the entrees, we ordered crispy chicken khoa soi and drunken noodles, both with heat level- hot. Khoa soi was very tasty, maybe a medium level hot though, definitely not hot. It looked very pretty also. The drunken noodles looked good, tasted ok. Again, a small portion and disappointing flavor. No depth of flavor, very one note. Now, here are the things that we will remember about this restaurant. We were asked about if we wanted the apps before the meal, to which we said we had no preference. After the server took our order, it was less than 2 minutes when our apps arrived. Super fast. Super not hot, just warm. Bummer. One bite in to our apps, our entrees arrived. This was at most 4 minutes from the time we ordered. Again, not hot, warm at best. We were left feeling that our meals were not prepared fresh. Here's another interesting point. We tried this restaurant for Denver Restaurant week. The meal for Restaurant Week was $55 per person. We added up the items on the special and it was more expensive to order that than just order the same dishes from the regular menu. I think this restaurant missed the point of Restaurant Week. Or I am confused.... I thought Restaurant Week was about having a great special menu at a fair price so new people would be likely to come in and experience the restaurant. It was good food, on the spendy side which we expected from a fine dining experience. We drove 2 hours total to get to/from the restaurant. We were finished eating or meal in under 30 minutes. Normally that would be fine.... but not at a fine dining restaurant.

Som Dee is the absolute best Thai restaurant in Denver. The food is delicious, staff is wonderful, and ambiance is beautiful. I frequent the restaurant often and love trying everything. The pad Thai is delicious and so are the chicken skewers. The sticky mango rice and Thai coconut ice cream desserts are unmatched. Let's not forget the cocktails! So impressive! It's definitely worth trying!

Som Dee was phenomenal. Everything we ordered was so fresh and flavorful-- the best way I can describe it is that everything tasted like I had pregamed with a weed gummy, but I hadn't. Stone cold sober this was some of the most delicious food I've had in Denver. We had - papaya salad - best we've had in CO and we have tried a lot - heatwave shrimp - to die for - tom yum fried rice - very good but strong keffir lime leaf flavor so make sure you're into that if ordering - steak - also to die for, especially with the dipping sauce The cocktails were good (I had the big sister which tasted like a watermelon jolly rancher). I would love to see some more variety in the cocktail offerings, maybe some that use ingredients like lime leaves or lemongrass. I'm sure they will continue to add to their drink list as it's still a new restaurant. All in all, the service was perfection, the vibe was warm, elevated and unpretentious, and the food was incredible. We will be back soon!

Delicious food gorgeous ambiance. Service is swell - but you might try noting any dietary restrictions when booking your reservation in advance. A romantic date spot; not suitable for cheap eats!

Food was really amazing! Service was way below par. We almost walked out after waiting 10-15 minutes to see anyone arrive at our table and yes, we had a reservation. Water, or a simple "sorry folks we will be with your shortly" was not offered in that time while we waited. (We also had to ask for water multiple times during the meal which is unacceptable in the hot month of June.) Once they realized we were not happy we did get slightly better service but it still was not great. When the server came to offer us our check she walked away empty handed while we sat in front of a table FULL of empty plates and silverware. No server should ever leave a table empty handed when there is something that could be removed. They did mention that they were short staffed, but I did not see ANY hustle or attempt to make up for their shortcomings. I have decades of experience in the service/restaurant industry and found this situation to be frustrating and lackluster. If they can get someone to manage the staff and provide great service, this could be a great restaurant. But no one wants to pay $30+ for a dish that doesn't come with a water refill, dish cleanup, or generally decent service. I expect better and deserve better for a $200 meal for 4 people.

Som Dee is legit. I'll go so far as to say this is very likely the best Thai spot in Denver (trust me I'm an expert) albeit pretty upscale and consequently a little spendy. Aside from that, atmosphere...top notch. Service...excellent. Food quality, taste, etc...dayum!. Whatever sauce they're serving with their shrimp appetizer had me in my feels. They should honestly bottle and sell it cuz I'd buy it by the gallon. If you don't enjoy this place then you're clueless as to what good Thai food is

So my wife and I were looking for some Thai while we were in town and decided to check this place out.From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm smile and a very cozy atmosphere.We ordered drinks and for starters we had the grandmas wings. These wings were perfectly cooked and were seasoned well! we then had the Thai Fried Rice as well as the drunken noodles. When I tell you the flavors were popping and caused my soul to dance.This was one of the highlights of our trip and we will be back next time we come

Myself and two others ate here for lunch today and right away were taken back by the beautiful ambience. We live a block and a half away and being in here reminds us of the pizza place that was here before, but they've done a good job on making it their own. Currently they have lunch specials from 11 AM to 3 PM or you can get one of four or five entrées with either a side salad or some potstickers. The prices here are a little high and the lunch special runs $18. I didn't have a cocktail but looking through the drink menu they look to have a good wine selection and some very interesting cocktails. The service is an attentive and friendly. For three lunch specials, including tip and no drinks ran $70.

We stumbled upon this beautiful space when visiting our loved one at Saint Joseph's hospital. We went back everyday during our visit. We cannot recommend this place enough! We have had so many things on the menu and loved everything! The girl boss owner shared her story on how it came to be and we fell in love with the place even more. Great prices and great service!!! We will be relocating to Denver soon and you will find me there often! Tawni and Chad Bare!

I have been here a few times since they opened and every single visit has gotten better than the last! The heatwave shrimp are the best thing on the menu. Also cannot get enough of the crispy chicken kao soi! This is definitely an amazing, upscale spot to check out for date night! The bartender makes some great cocktails, the service is outstanding, and the manager made us feel welcomed and checked in to see how we were doing (especially since they were newly opened, you could tell they were eager to make sure everything was on point)

Quality LAMAI Pad Thai. It was on the sweeter side but I like things that way. I know my photo is pretty terrible, however the taste of this was very good and the veggies were fresh. The only downside to this dish is the lack of depth. This plate cost $21 dollars and was on the smaller end of portion sizes. It filled me up perfectly but for $21 I would Hope for a few more bites. Overall good experience. Service was good and fast. I would come back to try other items.

Read the story on the owner, her restaurant/family history and local reviews yesterday. Knew I HAD to try the food soon. Happened to be near downtown after 1:30PM today, and decided to swing by for take out - to get home in time for the Bronco game. Beautiful ambiance, lighting, bar and overall space! They do not offer a lighter/alternative weekend lunch menu, so did not want the main course items for a late lunch. So I decided upon: 1) Veggie Egg Rolls 2) Chicken Pot Stickers 3) Tom Kha Chicken Soup Firstly....the 'sweet sauce & sweet soy sauce' for 1 & 2, was barely....and I do mean barely!! 1/8th" deep in the container. Hence, you could NOT pour any over these items on a plate, you had to dab carefully to grab a bit of sauce when eating a bite. Had to finish the last egg roll w/out sauce, as it depleted quickly. Both had a nice flavor, but were normal. Consumer Translation: As if.........filling the cup half way would really cost the restaurant a profit margin. ** 5 items in each serving is JUST enough for 1 person - would not advise splitting between two people unless you got a 3rd appetizer. Secondly....Both these appetizers were UNremarkable. A nice flavor, no real or any distinct flavors, yet no taste unique to this restaurants ingredient approach to Thai food. Sadly.....very much tasted like any Thai or Chinese food location offering the same exact appetizers. #3 - I swoooon for original, home made, family recipe Tom Kha soup. The lemongrass & galangal flavors needed more prominence and the fresh green scallion tips that should float near the top....were NON-existent. My biggest issue was the chicken. After the coconut soup flavor goes down, the chicken was just DRY! Chew, taste & flavor! Finished my soup, left out eating a huge portion of chicken. Suggestion: Barely cook these thin slices to pink, yet put them on the grill for a 1 minute final searing before dropping them into the soup. To be fair.....given all the great reviews of the main courses/noodle dishes, I will go back! But.....if you cannot make the basic's....the appetizers w/palate compelling flavors so that one is now craving the main courses' arrival.....then that is a food brand dis-service. And maybe I should have tried 3 other appetizers instead? (next time) But for $45 (w/a to-go-tip) not a bang for my bucks.

Disappointing. Ordered chicken pad see ew with extra vegetables. The dish had 2 pieces of chicken with almost zero vegetables. I paid $20.00, plus $4.00 for extra vegetables which are non existent. Won't being going here or recommending to anyone.

Definitely date worthy! The ambiance is absolutely lovely - dark wood, intricately carved lights, large comfy boothes. The servers were friendly and professional. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully plated. I especially recommend the Tom Kha soup and the coconut ice cream/sticky rice for dessert.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fabulous. Pretty upscale, but not overdone. Nice addition to 17th Avenue. I'll be back for sure,

The food is excellent, authentic Thai. The cocktails and beautiful and creative and the ambiance is so cool. The portions are perfect for lunch, this will definitely be my new meeting spot with clients.

I am an addict to this Thai restaurant.I have not tasted Thai food this good since our long ago trip to Thailand. This was our 5th visit in two weeks. It's big, surprisingly, and the brass lanterns throughout the restaurant created a beautiful environment. They had them made in Thailand. The service is attentive but it's the kitchen that gets my Kudos.

AMAZING food and wonderful service. It's a favorite date night spot for my partner and myself, a combination of delicious Thai food and a sleek, delightful ambiance.

Fresh cuisine with a small menu of Southern and Northern thai dishes, as well as some creative interpretations from the kitchen. Food was on the sweeter side, and medium spicy was actually mild. Ordered the steak entree and asked for medium, it came out well done with little color on the interior, but the flavors were great. Portions are beautifully plated but on the smaller side and the desserts, while good, are overpriced for what they are. Service was quick and friendly. Decor is the real star here, as the dining room was gorgeous and inviting, a nice neighborhood thai restaurant that is slightly more upscale and higher priced. While I think better thai can be had for less, it doesn't at all demean the quality and flavor of the food. A great local option for the neighborhood, but I wouldn't travel for it.

Good things: atmosphere, wontons, egg rolls, service. Bad things: The prices are outrageous for what you are getting. I would pay a lot for good food, but the entree we had was not good. We ordered the spicy chicken and rice. It was $25 for about 1.5 cups of rice total and a few pieces of chicken. I felt ripped off and I've had better chicken and rice at PF Changs. It was very disappointing.

This new Thai restaurant is excellent! The food was great, service was great, and the restaurant itself is beautifully designed. I got massaman roti - highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Lovely space and tasty food - there just isn't enough curry sauce to cover the protein and have rice with.

The food was fantastic, everyone loved it. The service was fast and the food was a cut above most other Thai restaurants. We really enjoyed it.

The drinks and the food were amazing!! The pink sway pink slay cocktail is delicious, the crab wontons were even BETTER. The bartenders Toben and Pao were so helpful! I got the pad see ew and it's now one of my favorite dishes. An amazing experience and amazing food! Can't wait to come back!

I paid $60 for two takeout entrees. Food was fine. Portions aren't huge for the price but was otherwise ok. They forgot rice for the curry bowl which was not ok. Won't be going back.
