Get your flavor and spice! The kra pow was spot on - really good and yes, spicy. The pad thai was a bit sweet for us, but still full of flavor. Nice diner kind of atmosphere with great mural work.

I hate going to the Domain; it's always crowded and stressful. However the dish I had here - the Crispy Coco - was so good it's tempting to return soon. It's described on the menu as "crispy rice, coconut cream, serrano, cilantro, cucumber, red onion, silken tofu, taro crisps." It's really the perfect dish for a hot summer day, because it's so light, and the combination of flavors and textures is delightful.

Like a lot of places they are having staffing issues. However the food is flavorful and the service is decent. The Menu is limited but the food came out fast. The Papaya salad is surprisingly spicy. The Crab fried rice is really good.

$40 for one tiny rib eye with no sides, three pieces(out of 10 pieces in total)are pure fat. I’m not talking about juicy fat, it’s the kind of fat you wouldn’t want to put in your mouth. And they don’t put a price label on the rib eye. It’s like they’re waiting to scam me.$19 crab fried rice. The few crab meat were so hard to find. And we saw white rice melting together. Everyone knows good fried rice should at least not having those big rice lumps.Def the worst Thai food place I’ve been to. And no surprise we were the only Asian ppl in the restaurant. Possible good for ppl who doesn’t really like Thai cuisine I guess?‍♀️Overall I think the price is ridiculous, the quality of the food doesn’t match the price.

We had seasonal mussels, green curry seen here, and the coconut crisp. So delicious. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, giving great suggestions, despite how busy it was. Vegetarian and vegan friendly options on the menu.

Atmosphere is great and hostess was very welcoming and helpful. I ordered the green curry because I like spice, but there was no flavor. It was not good. Food temperature was good, rice was exceptional. Vegetables seemed a little under cooked amd chicken was rubbery. Try the restaurant, but font get the green curry.

Place can definitely use improvements in customer service. Upon entering we were told to go back outside due to staff shortage, there were no plates and cups available for any new customers, so we waited patiently. I understand completely so we made no hassle. When we were finally able to order, the manager looked a complete mess, but through it all I believe she could’ve handled herself in a more professional manner. No greeting, no eye contact as we were discussing options, she continued to vigorously rub her face and forehead as though she had no interest whatsoever on being at her job. No smile, just no enthusiasm. I wish it would’ve been a better experience, but sadly I was left disappointed.

Food and drinks were delicious and indeed, you better pack your big boy pants for the spicy dishes. Not an issue for me, as I love spicy, tho. But if this is not your thing, you might skip the ones with the little pepper. Be aware that there are no dish edits or substitutions. The crab fried rice was amazing with just the right flavors and a sultry amount of wok hay. So why not 5/5? First, there were some beers on the menu that they had not available – I wish the server would have known this right when we ordered. Second, because service was clearly overwhelmed with a table for 8. Dishes came at random times and we had to wave the server down multiple times to get drinks refilled. Definitely going back, but with a smaller party. Oh, and $370 (incl. 20% tip) for 8 is a steal!

Fun Facts: All pictures you see on google are great, but don't expect to order off of what you see on here. Their menu changes every now and then. I had the house special, which was the Rib Eye BBQ with pickled vegetables. It's was delicious. There isn't a kids menu. Overall, food is great. Atmosphere is awesome.

I have been here twice now and both times the food was good. Being vegetarians (my wife is a vegan) we had two dishes on the menu - green curry and coco crispy. Both were tasty.Green curry is different from most you find in Thai places - not as thick, but very flavorful. The rice itself was nice and fluffy.The coco crispy was good as well. Iced tea was ok.And service - first time we were met with an amazingly energetic staff member and second time around it was the opposite.Overall a very good place if you want to try a differentiated Thai place.
