Absolutely love this place! Little family owned business. Great food and service. Each time I've eaten here I try something new, and haven't been disappointed yet....!

Always a wonderful experience - great customer service and some of the best Thai food in town. I had the butternut squash, spinach, chicken and sliced almond salad - absolutely delicious!! Of course, washed it down with a Thai iced coffee.

The staff here are friendly and most of the food was great. One item was missing from the order, but this is the best roast duck I have had in Merced. The larb was fantastic as well. Also, this was one of the few places open on a Monday. I would definitely eat here again.

The phad thai wasn't good at all noodles was stuck together and no flavor at all.

Amazing food and amazing service. Lovely inside !!! Such a good date place or even to study and chill

the best pho I've had on ten years! Friendly and great service.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - very different ratings on the dishes. We got both at spiciness level 3 but it was odd that the spiciness comes from chili pepper flakes (more like pizza topping than Asian spices).1/5 - Pad Thai with Pork was overly sweet and the protein extremely dry. The noodles were really stuck together even while it was still hot. Couldn't finish this dish based on texture and flavor5/5 - Pineapple fried rice with beef has great flavors with sweetness from the pineapple and saltiness and earthiness from the seasoning.Ambience: N/A - got food to go. Some nice paintings and Asian decorService: 5/5 - cashier was really nice and allowed us to sit indoors while waiting for the foodValue for price: 3/5 - dependent on dish. Would definitely recommend the fried rice which tastes great and can almost feed two people

Such a nice meal driving through town.

One of the many great Thai restaurants in Merced. Never wrong to go here, and they are very consistent in quality. Good value on lunch menu as well.Some of my goto: Grapao fried rice, Panang Curry, Chicken Larb w/sticky rice.
