Editorial Review. Fresh Thai restaurant that puts a focus on serving fresh and flavorful food to the customers of the Silicon Valley.

Best Thai place in town!!. We have tried just about all the Thai restaurants in the South Bay and this little jem is the best there is. The food is consistently outstanding. The curries (especially GangKaRee Gai) are light and flavorful. Spice level is conveniently based on stars (we get our curry with three stars and as spicy as we like it without searing your tastebuds numb). Stirfries are excellent (best Thai Basil Chicken -- not too sweet -- than any restaurant from Palo Alto to San Jose), and their noodle dishes are also delicious. Try the Pad Woon Sen (pan-fried vermicelli noodles) or the Pad Kee-Mao or the Pad See-Ew -- they are all very good. This restaurant is exceptional because everything we've tried is what I call a "repeat" because I would gladly order it again and again.

The service is always very fast and friendly. Its humble atmosphere just adds to the charm of this family-run Thai cafe-style restaurant. Absolutely no pretention. Just great food and equally great service!!

Ps: My only caution would be against ordering curries or soups to go. They need better take-out containers for their liquid dishes. The food is way to good to be spilled to waste.

The BEST Thai food around!!!. I've eaten at so many different Thai restaurants and this is by far the best. The restaurant is very clean and the people are pleasant and friendly. The food was excellent!! It was so wonderful to have all the different fresh vegetables in my Panang curry. We also ordered the basil fish, Pad Thai, and the grilled chicken for our entree. SO good! We were scraping the plates. The food tasted fresh and was cooked to perfection. The desserts were even more delicious. We had the fried banana with coconut ice crean and the sweet rice with ice cream. Best I've ever had! Our kids loved it and we won't go anywhere else again when we want some 'real' good Thai food. Presentation was also very nice.

Great eat-in dining and take-out corporate catering. I discovered this place only a month ago, but have since eaten there three times. The food is wonderful. The chef has a talent for blending flavors and cooking both chicken and tofu in a way that keeps them moist and flavorful. My personal favorites are the yellow curry with chicken and stir-fried eggplant with tofu.

Also, I ordered a large family-style catered lunch for 30 people at my company. It was ready exactly on time and impressed my co-workers so much that I received several requests for directions to the restaurant.
