This place is a gem in the rough.
The owners are new, but the chef is the same. They're a married couple, she's Thai, he's gringo. Been married 20+years!! They bought the place from the owners who retired. They're struggling a little bit with finding their own way I think. Sounds like Tacoma isn't very kind to their Restaurateurs... it's crazy expensive to change items on a menu, that's not right! Changing up your menu should be a joy not an onus. Do better Tacoma health department!
Ok, rant over....
The food was good, authentic and tasty. Be warned the pad thai is super sweet and soupy... unless you are ready for this is not a welcome surprise (tho to be fare we were warned)
All of the food we got was fresh and tasty. Unfortunately it was served in plastic containers... not sure if this was to save on doing dishes, or they have just always done it. I was a bit disappointed by that, at least switching to paper would be a more eco-friendly option. Probably cheaper too!!
The ambiance was cute, it could have quite the clientele if they did some social media adverts and tweaked some of the simple stuff they were doing.
The owner, Darrell I think he said his name was, is brilliant!
He just needs some good marketing and YouTube university to see him through.
Solid fare and authentic food. I highly recommend this place!
