Consistency can occasionally be an issue, as some diners have reported dishes being prepared incorrectly. Still, the restaurant earns plenty of attention for its authentic Thai flavors and approachable menu. For a first visit, drunken noodles, pad Thai, or one of the curries are sensible starting points. From there, the broader selection of noodles, pho, and distinctive Thai dishes gives returning guests plenty more to explore.
