" Food is good but not exceptional. I had the spicy tuna roll, which was decent but lacked the freshness I've had in other places. The restaurant itself is charming, yet the service was a little slow. I'll consider returning, but I expect more next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I went during happy hour, and everything was half off. I had the shrimp pad Thai and green curry, which were both amazing. The authentic flavors blew me away. I'm returning for sure to try other items on the menu, especially the drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was tasty, I expected more authenticity based on the recommendations. It felt somewhat fusion rather than traditional. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, perfect for a night out, but service was lacking a bit as our server didn’t check on us frequently. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've only been here once and it was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, but my dish lacked authenticity. It felt more like Americanized Thai. I might give it another shot just to see if my dining experience can improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant has a modern and chic feel, making it perfect for casual outings. The menu has a comforting mix of traditional Thai dishes and innovative rolls. I particularly enjoyed the salmon skin roll—it was perfectly crafted. The only downside was that the service could be a bit slow during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
