" While I can't complain about the food's flavor, I've had better experiences elsewhere. The dishes we ordered were decent but seemed to be lacking in freshness. On top of that, the service was a little lacking; we had to remind our server a few times about our drinks. It's a good spot but not my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, great service, and a truly welcoming ambiance! They really put their heart into the dishes they create. The spicy basil chicken was a standout, and the fried rice was fantastic too. I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. While the food was decent, it lacked the bold flavors I associate with authentic Thai cuisine. The service was friendly but a bit slow. It seems popular, but I think I’ll explore other local options before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! The food is excellent every time I come. I always order the green curry, and it has the perfect balance of spice and creaminess. The service staff is always quick and friendly. It does get busy so I recommend calling ahead to check on wait times! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical at first given how small the place looks. But once I tasted their food, I was sold! The mango sticky rice was heavenly, and the tom kha soup was comforting and packed with flavor. The atmosphere gave off a warm feel, and I found the service to be quick and attentive. Can’t wait to recommend this spot to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations, but I wasn’t impressed. While the ambiance was pleasant, the food didn’t really wow me. My wife enjoyed her red curry more than I enjoyed my pad thai, which was a bit bland. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed. Perhaps the kitchen was just having an off day? " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Real Thai Kitchen and was very impressed with their quality of food and service! I ordered the Pad Thai and the chicken satay, and both were delicious. The portions were ample and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as patrons savored their meals. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for true Thai flavors in a lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)
