Beautiful place, with authenticity in the food & spice level like Thailand where we visit often, and CRAZY GENEROUS portions.1 star minus for:A) very slow service (they’re short of staff, but their high school staff are trying their best & very polite and accommodating; one slightly aggressive customer refused to scan the QR menu and insisted on a physical menu & the tall high sch female went right ahead to find one for him.B) meats are kinda tough/over cooked, but flavour is def there.So overall, def a place I’ll return to! Randomly spoke to a staff who turn out to be the the Boss, and he told us his wife who’s cooking is from Thailand. That explains a lot about the flavours. Super great folks, will be back if we visit this state again.

Wow, every dish we ordered was fantastic! Someof the best Thai we’ve ever eaten. This was our first time eating here and we would definitely go back. The owner was very kind and quick to help us- this was a win all around!

WORTH THE WAIT. Arrived with a party of two at around seven, orders taken around twenty minutes later, food began arriving at quarter til with entrees at eight. Piping hot, generous serving portions, and the FLAVOR though - so vibrant and intense! Sometimes I get Thai that's just kind of a muddle of flavor, but not this place; every ingredient stood out and worked in delicious textured harmony with all the others. Super good, A+, definitely will return in the future. Next time I hope we get the table with the pillow seats, it looks so much comfier than the white people chairs XD

Very flavorful, generous portions, and the owner gave us a free dessert on the way out, for driving down to her restaurant from Renton. Two stars was just right for people who enjoy moderately spicy Thai food. Highly recommended!

Cool little spot. Looks sketchy from the outside but that's the majority of Tacoma for ya. This place really delivered on delicious food and stellar service. Huge portions too and a really cool atmosphere that you wouldn't expect when you first roll up to the place. It's one of the better thai places I've been to in the area and it deserves a better location. But I'm not trying to knock the restaurant. The thai tea is one of my favorite things ever. I was surprised it wasn't packed but it deserves to be. Come try it out and spread the love for this little gem !

Such a find! Looks non-descript from outside but inside it’s super cute. Especially recommend the fresh rolls. No glass noodle filler, just yummy veggies and protein! Big portion sizes too on everything I got. ?

We went here on a whim, because they were the closest Thai restaurant open on New Years Day…… and what a stoke of luck it turned out to be! The ambiance is very nice, relaxed and comfortable, and the service was very pleasant, attentive and quick. We had green curry, panang curry, pad thai and tom kha, and it was all honestly so amazing. I eat a lot of thai food and this was among the very best I’ve ever had. All of it! Fresh and tasty, balanced and spicy if desired, really good! We will be back, soon!

Ive been on a swing to find good thai food in Tacoma. So far, this place is one of my fsvorites. It is understood there is a lot of adapting tradtional meals to American palettes but I feel this place does a very nice translation. I have yet to be dissapointed with any meal and have tried almost everything on the menu but use thom ka or thom yum soup as a benchmark since these should be offered in any thai place. Great food if you can find this small shop hidden back off of Center street.

Love this place. Great food,service and the price$ it’s very (really good) reasonable for the portions size.??

First visit to the restaurant and I have to admit the food was good. The server was pleasant and attentive. No rush no fuss. I would recommend visiting and trying a few items on the menu. Parking is limited for dining in si be aware. Looking forward to my next meal.
