In Short
On weekends, this whimsically cute, pastel-painted Craftsman bursts at the seams with local families and hipsters. Tempting fare includes appetizers like the sweet spring rolls, crisp pot stickers and browned fish cakes with ginger dip. Classic Thai noodle dishes are divine and curries are melt-in-your-mouth smooth. Seafood gets the royal treatment, peppered with exotic spices and cooked to fragrant tenderness. Ice cream comes in toothsome flavors such as mango and Thai iced tea.

I have not gone there for dinner, but for lunch I know it's fantastic. Really fine food, fair prices, and you can sit out in the back garden in the summer.

I have been going here for a number of years. The customer service is always the best and the atmosphere is very relaxing. In the summer, the back porch is open and is covered with grape vines. The menu is always great and the chef often has delicious surprise recipes. I highly recommend this delightful restaurant.

Small little restaurant with great food. The staff tends to be a little slow with service, but it is a pleasant restaurant if you are not in a hurry. The food selection and level of spice is fabulous!
