I was invited to come here with a new friend from my gym. So after class, we walked over here to grab a bite. I liked that the menu had a huge variety of Thai food. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have green curry. I ended up going with the Tom Yum soup with seafood and a glass of wine. The Tom Yum soup was flavorful. There was the right amount of seafood in there. Some restaurants I have found in the past have been skimpy with the seafood. Overall, I would definitely come back again to try different things. There are plenty of options for allergies, such as gluten-free and vegan.
I come here pretty often and love the food that they make. The service is always excellent and to my expectations. The eating outdoor in the summer is always the vibe. My favorite dish is and forever always be there crispy Basel chicken 10 out of 10. Must try
As a vegetarian it was refreshing to have a dedicated FULL page of the menu. Peanut butter fried rice & Papaya Salad were amazing. My husband loved the Chicken Pad Thai. My new favorite restaurant for my favorite type of food. Service was attentive & amazing.
The house special red curry sauce lives up to the shreputation is being extremely tasty and a favorite of people who like peanuts. It came with large chunky carrots and other veggies and tender slices of beef. The pad Thai was unique in that it had several sources of protein in it and it was very tasty. I ordered two and a half out of five on those spicy scale. I think I would go to at least three next time I'm there. The service is really good, fast friendly. How full? I thought the prices were not too bad for the quality of food and the servings you get
Last minute decision to stop in for dinner and so glad that we did! Wonderful service and delicious food! The house curry was freaking amazing and definitely brought me back to some core comfort memories. The fire side tables outside were a fun experience as well. We will be back!
I do delivery and get quite a few pickups from here or I would not have know about them. I honestly should have since this is an incredible restaurant. The space is so welcoming with it's décor and open space. The menu was overwhelming with so many options that made me want one of everything! And I do not typically drink alcoholic drinks with a meal but glancing over that and I simply must come here sometime for drinks and snacks since they have a ton I want to try! I ordered the chicken karee puffs which are incredible. That flaky delicious pastry is next level! And with their cucumber salad - yum! I also got the salmon avocado bowl. Audi explained to us about the bowl - it was a traditional Lao bowl. All of the food was so delicious and so clean. My friend got their fried zucchini and their fried items are done so mindfully, not greasy and great flavor. I cannot wait to go back!
Lovely ambiance and really good food. Dee Dee Thai is the same place - final page of menu is all vegan. I've had four main courses here, all mild but still with a decent kick so if in doubt of spice level I'd recommend going lower :)
All three dishes we tried were delicious!! The service was a great, easy access, plenty seating, and a clean restaurant with a good ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Thai food.
We had the Basil fried rice with chicken and the tofu eggplant rice dish. Both were so delicious! The eggplant, tofu, the fried rice, the veggies, the black rice, it was ALL yummy! Honestly, their food is 5 stars! Oftentimes at Thai restaurants the meat is a bit sketchy while the sauces and rice are good, which is why we chose one vegan dish. But their chicken was quite good along with everything. The server was super friendly and nice, 5 stars on service too! I like that they have outdoor seating, but we sat indoors as there were no heated lamps, and the fireplace was not turned on. The reason the overall score for me is a 4 is that it was super cold, it was barely warmer inside than being outside. I also would like the health score to increase. Both are not difficult fixes. As far as atmosphere, it's not cute and trendy like a bistro, but it was fine, please see my photos. I still very much recommend this place based on the quality of food and friendly service! Definitely the best Thai food I have had in a loooong time! This was my 2nd visit, the first time we had the eggplant tofu dish only.
