" This restaurant was exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring. The food came out quickly and was delicious! I had the fried rice, which was one of the best I've had. The atmosphere was nicely decorated, and we enjoyed our time there. Would return without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but didn’t quite hit the mark for being authentically Thai. I found the curry to be a little on the bland side. The service was friendly, and the environment is charming. They need to step it up with the flavors to keep me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming here and I was not disappointed! The red curry was exquisite; creamy with delicate spices. This truly feels like a hidden gem in the Gaslamp District. The staff was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The only downside was that the place was a bit cramped, but overall, it’s an excellent restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Thai restaurant I've been to in a long time! The drunken noodles were packed with flavor and just the right level of spice. The environment was warm and inviting, making it a great place for dinner with friends. The staff were cheerful and attentive, ensuring our experience was fantastic. Overall, a perfect night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The atmosphere is undoubtedly a highlight—bright and welcoming. However, the standout was absolutely the food. The chicken satay had such depth—a perfect blend of spices! The only slight downside was the slow service that evening. Nevertheless, this place is worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was quite tasty, but I felt the portions were a bit small for the prices. My partner and I shared the curries, but we were left craving more. The ambiance was lovely and calming, perfect for a quiet night out. The service staff was polite but a bit too stretched for a busy Saturday evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many Thai restaurants, and this one is definitely among my favorites! The spring rolls were fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. The only con was the overall wait time for food, which could be improved. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
