I waited until I ordered a few times before writing a review. In my experience with restaurants that offer dishes with varying levels of spice, Thai restaurants in particular, the spice can be inconsistent. I have ordered my favorite meal, Pad See Ew, a few times with spice level 1 and each time it has been excellent and consistent. Just enough spice to add flavor but still be enjoyable. I have had shrimp added each time, which is fresh and cooked very well. The broccoli is tender crisp. What is most impressive is that I've ordered for delivery (20 min away) and each time it arrived piping hot and the veggies still crisp, not soggy. I've also tried the spring rolls, which were very good. The dipping sauce added very little for me in flavor. The crab Rangoon is delicious and crisp. The plum sauce on them is a nice added bonus that I had never had before. I highly recommend.

Great service and flavor. Menu is very expansive and includes some non-Thai dishes but overall is pricey. The portions are very decent and can definitely be shared.

The take out portions are horrible for the price. They also charged me extra for brown rice with my entree. The entree comes with rice then the upgrade for brown rice is like $0.50 or $1 extra but instead she charged me a whole separate fee for brown rice and didn’t even give me the regular rice. Just a rip off. This meal should cost like $8 but i paid $20. Don’t do take out.

Been here several times. Wonderful people and food. Make sure you save room for dessert!

Highly recommend, I’ve been here a couple times and it’s always good. Service is good and the food is extraordinary. They offer a limited lunch menu, which is reasonably priced. Their dinner menu has many options, all really good!

My partner and I stop here for lunch every time we go to Lancaster! You can’t beat the lunch special—our favorites are the pad Thai and the drunken noodle. The meat is so flavorful.

My partner and I have eaten a lot of Thai food, and we have frequented many different Thai restaurants in places that have high Asian population density.We ordered the Massamun curry and Yellow curry at this place, and unfortunately both did not satisfy. Most of the vegetables were undercooked: my fork couldn’t go through the potatoes, the carrots were half raw, and the baby corn was 70% raw. The curry had more sugar than curry paste, and tasted like fruit juice. The portion we received was not proportional to the price we paid, and certainly not worth the quality.When I mentioned to the waiter that my vegetables were undercooked, she brought my bowl away and eventually brought it back with slightly less curry than I had before. It became apparent that they had probably just microwaved the bowl, because the potatoes on the edge of the bowl were slightly more crumbly, whereas the potatoes in the middle of the curry were still uncooked.It was also clear that none of the veggies were cooked in the curry, because none of them had absorbed the flavor of the curry.The only saving grace was the Thai iced tea, which I found to be of an appropriate sweetness; I don’t like my Thai iced tea obnoxiously sweet. But we received small glasses that were about half the size of what I have received at other restaurants for the same price, and the glass was filled with a lot of ice.

Of the over 20 Thai restaurants I've been to in my life, this is BY FAR THE WORST. I was looking for Thai food and got a sugar bomb.I guarantee the rave reviews are from people who have not had much Thai food before.The larb, a dish which usually has a spicy, limey, toasted rice flavor, did not have that flavor profile at all. I didn't even see Thai red chili powder. Unless you wanna eat sugar chicken, I'd skip this place.The pad thai? Again, too sweet. It was almost syrupy.I threw it away. Basically inedible. Please, save yourself the money.

My go to place for Thai in Lancaster. Staff are super friendly, food is always great, and they are pretty quick for a small place. Can’t go wrong.

Delicious Drunken noodles. I attended a private party there. The service was excellent. Very accommodating to Gluten free.
