" Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the hype. The food was decent, but I've had better authentic Thai food elsewhere. The décor is nice, yet the service was a bit slow and inattentive. I wouldn’t rush back. " (*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*)
