Wow. I have only eaten this good Thai food in DC or San Francisco. Much lessor places have gotten five stars from me, this is a 6 or 7. Soups are perfectly done. Fried duck is amazing. Pad Thai is to die for. You choose your level of spice was from none to Thai hot, one level above hot. Deserts, especially the Crème Brûlée are fabu. More expensive than most, but this is June of 2022. We have crab balls, pad Thai , duck and crème brûlée and it was $75 with generous tip. I love Thai food so for my day in and day out I wouldn’t come here but if price is no concern, this place is amazing
Excellent food. The massaman curry is very good. The pad Thai is also GREAT. Highly Recommend !
Food was delicious. Portions were generous, well-seasoned, and above average.Ambiance, atmosphere, and general feel were not what I'd expected. The service was adequate, but not enough to make me want to return or to take out of town guests. For example, the server who brought our entrees just handed them to us, leaving us to move our appetizer plates to make room. A better server would have handled that themselves, thus making the customer experience more positive. Too casual.
Stay away from this place. The worst Thai Restaurant We have ever visited. The service was really bad, no personality, just drop off the food and never check on our table. I can tell this is not real Thai people. They are usually very polite and friendly. The food was so bland has no taste at all. This is the first and the last time we will eat at this place. I would give 0 star if I could. Really really bad
If this is the best Thai that Durham has to offer (as others have said), I feel bad for Durham. For a cuisine that is supposed to be so rich in flavor, the food here is entirely void of flavor. Everything we had was rather bland. I won’t be coming back.
So much promise but poor execution. The food came quickly (1pm on a Wednesday, with three other tables occupied when I entered--all by people in their 50s at least), and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't good either. The red curry was extremely mild, with no real flavor developed. Very thin, and while it was warm, it was noticeably cooler than the vegetables (very large cut zucchini and peppers with a sad, lonely leaf of basil). And I know it's the times, but 12 dollars for a mediocre daily special with tofu just didn't seem worth it. You can find better.
Best Larb I have had or made!
The service is poor and the two waitresses have shown poor decorum on two separate visits with my guests for lunch. They have failed to ask for drink preferences while waiting for our meals and refused to provide appropriate utensils with our order. The worst customer service you can imagine from a restaurant in an environment with competitive restaurants. My friends and I are not going back!
This is my favorite Thai place in Durham. I’ve never had anything off their menu that I didn’t love. My absolute favorite is the Penang curry with pork but I also love their chicken with basil leaves, volcano chicken, coconut soup, and their coconut cake is like a dream. Great staff, too!
A family favorite—has grown more expensive since Covid, but that is understandable. Love their red curry with shrimp, spring rolls, masaman, and pad Thai. Also once had the BEST lychee cocktail here. Coconut cake—don’t miss our!
