  Changing to 5 stars.
  This place is great. The people are nice and the food is very tasty. This is a favorite for my son and I. We go there at least once a week.
  They are also better at doing on-line orders now.

  I was in the mood for Thai Crab Fried rice with shrimp. Based on Yelp reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Everything was meh.
  I ordered the crab fried wonton and crab fried rice adding shrimp.
  The order was prompt and servic was great.
  
  Crab wonton was more like flat fried cream cheese. Although there was a rather fishy taste, I didn't taste anything but stale batter and cream cheese. They were hot, but as if they were just refried vs fresh. I think there were 4-5 in one order.  Definitely not worth $9.
  
  The crab fried rice was OK. EVERYTHING seemed to sit on top of fried rice, not as though they stir fried or prepared together. There seemed to be sufficient crab meet and for $2 I had 3 nice size shrimp. I've had much better at other places.
  
  There was no plastic ware, napkins nor any soy sauce to add flavor to the rather bland rice. It was a horrible dinner but I have no desire to return. For almost $30 I would have have expected a much better meal.

  Not quite your traditional Thai restaurant. Menu had a mixture of traditional and fusion foods. Appetizer portions are small for its price. Food is delicious though.
  
  For appetizers we had the Tom sum and spring rolls. The spring rolls were very leafy which I like. Noodles were thin, I don't have a problem with that but it's different. The Tom sum (papaya salad) had a very flavorful lime sauce, I loved it! I would go back for more.
  
  For entrees: the red curry was perfect, how I like it, not too sweet - very savory. The pad Thai noodles were a bit drenched with sauce. The sauce was a bit sour, my guess is it has more of a tamarind taste. Not my favorite, I prefer my pad Thai a little sweeter. Not much to say about the fried rice, nothing amazing or bad about it. Just the usual. It was good.
  
  The interior was super cute however I didn't think a cafe like interior suited a pricey menu. The menu was more suited for a fancy sit in restaurant. Our bill was a little pricey. I would go back for date night and take out if I'm really craving Thai.

  This place was indeed "A-OK"
  
  I'd say nothing awe inspiring to write-home about, nor consider as a destination dining restaurant I'd personally travel to as a pointed effort.
  
  It was okay.  
  
  The Happy Hour menu items seemed like they were priced fairly at a glance, but the portions seemed maybe proportionate to the prices, in other words, maybe not full sized orders... but if they were indeed full sized and the Happy Hour was at a discount, then at full-price, they're probably not worth it, considering at Happy Hour they were a tad less than Happy for us.
  
  Overall, the food was okay, it cost us about $60 for the 2 of us and we didn't take home any leftovers, which is an anomaly for Asian food.  I generally get filled by Thai food for about $15-20 per person.
  
  The one great positive I can say about this place is that they use jumbo prawns for their shrimp dishes.
  
  Also, parking is easy here.
  
  The service was fast and friendly, so no complaints about attitude.
  
  It's an opinion review, so I'd not discourage others from trying it, as 2 of our friends who don't know each other, praise this restaurant (which prompted us to try it out and check it out on our own based on their rave reviews).

  Our favorite Thai restaurant in South Bay. We are going here even though that are not the cleanest Thai place at all, and we have tried at least 15-20 other places. They cook their seafood just RIGHT. Their noodle and rice dishes have great texture and evenly seasoned consistently which is NOT easy. We can rely on the quality dishes in decent portion at fair price.
