Excellent service, delicious fare and wonderful ambience on the patio outside. This restaurant in lovely Sacramento is a keeper.

Haven't been here for a while. The food has gone down one star.

First time in this place. Did not know what to order. We started with a fired mushroom appetizer. Quite honestly, this is the reason for the 4 stars. This dish was bad. I could not find the mushroom. All we had was fried onion. The avocado curry and the Thai fried rice were really good and the portions were big. Because of this, I will go back and give this place another opportunity. Service was a bit slow but that was because it was only the waitress and the cook in the establishment. I guess sign of times. Another reason to go back and support.

The Thai food here is very healthy tasting and not too oily. It's a great spot if you're vegetarian and have dietary restrictions because the staff is attentive to it. Pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. The food however, does not taste super authentic. The green curry does not have much flavor, no basil flavor at all despite the restaurant being named after it. I did like the pad see ew. Protein is extra. Portions are average sized. I did like the presentation of the dishes.My gripe was how hot it was eating in there, wish they turned the AC on more. I was sweating through the whole meal. Service is very friendly and interactive.

Never review food . I go out every weekend . Inside look pretty .. look traditional except the jazz lolz . It's supposed to be a nice day out with my family . It turn out it a nightmare 2 dish very salty , pad thai chicken is chewy , sour , no tastes just salt , burn rice , burn onion !! It's doesn't taste like thai food . The fried fried super oily , salty , did u see in the picture? >

This is literally my favorite Thai spot for probably 20 miles. I come here often, bring my dogs, friends, etc. and have never had bad service. I just looked up their page and was surprised to read some of these reviews... The taste is excellent, they accommodate allergies, they are very consistent, I've never had any problems with service.. and there's almost never a wait. To me, this is a gem in Sacramento!

I ordered the yellow curry with brown rice, cucumber salad and peanut sauce to go. The food was good. I was also charged for cashews which I didn’t ask for, but the cashier/owner offered to take it off the receipt. I decided to try the cashews with the yellow curry. I tend to be adventurous. The cashews were a hit, an added bonus. The menu seemed outdated in that I was charged more than what was listed. Other than that, my experience was pleasant. I was even offered water.We parked in front of the restaurant and it looked like someone was going to break into the car. He was eyeing our phone/GPS that we keep in a holder for directions. Once we realized that we left the phone in the car we retrieved it just in time. The owner confirmed that there had been small break ins in the area. Beware and take your valuables with you.While eating my leftovers I discovered some chicken in my tofu curry. Also the chunks of carrots and potatoes are too big.

Great vegan options. Worry free ordering because Menu show options: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten free , and Soy free. Amazing food!! Delicious!

The nicest staff I've ever met. Every time I go there I'm warm greeted with a smile and delicious food.

Great food and decor! Helpful waitstaff.
