As I understand, this restaurant was the catalyst to revitalizing this neighborhood and they have the James Beard award and additional accolades to prove it. I opted for a tofu noodle bowl with sesame and perhaps the sesame had too much of a vinegar quality to it, making my food tangy and acidic. It didn't balance well with the spice of the dish but overall I can tell there's some quality happening here, I just didn't order the right thing on my first go around. My friend gets the shrimp fried rice with the spicy eggplant and doesn't order anything else. I wish I'd asked for a taste but he scarfed it down like a ravenous animal. One bathroom available as the other in the 2nd dining area was locked and our table had the fried rice leftovers on my seat. They reserve tables of four for three or more people but we couldn't find a spot otherwise so our party of two sat there, we got a few looks but oh well. And they use non plastic silverware here which is a bonus. I also appreciate the Excel soda selection although I didn't get a chance to partake. Read less

One of my favorite Thai fusion restaurants, ordered the Chicken summer bowl and the mushroom dumplings. They both were delicious. My go to spot for a quick bite.

Great food and clean ingredients. Flavor profile was 10/10. I had a Thai chicken rice paper wrap with spicy cucumbers on the side. Will be back!

I had heard good things about this place from several people and so I had high hopes for this place. I was sorely disappointed. Firstly, you have to wait in a rather slow line to make your order. This could all be done online (for dining in) and would be way easier. The line was likely slow because the menu is difficult to read. As first timers here, I had to look at the menu for a solid 5 minutes before I could really figure out what I was even ordering. Additionally, the letters are way too small for the menu behind the register. After ordering, the seating situation is awful. There is nowhere you can sit where people wont be constantly walking around you. It’s rather annoying to not have enough personal space. Small nitpick but I thought it was weird the bathroom’s doorknob is at an adult’s knee height. So on to the food: it was healthy but unimpressive. My partner and I each ordered a wrap and this was probably a mistake. We got the thai chicken and the steak wraps. They both heavily lacked dressing and were much too dry. It was frankly unacceptable. I mean the steak wrap basically had zero dressing. Just felt like eating a rice-wrapped undressed salad. Really disappointing. The service was good. We had a cookie for desert and that was actually pretty good as well. Overall, I was unimpressed. Glad to see another healthy food establishment but you guys have got to do better. Read less
