Found this place driving around aimlessly on Fenton Road. Turns out it's a really nice restaurant. Nice, small, clean, ethnic, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the Pad Thai, but their other dishes are very good as well. What really nice is that they have cloth napkins and use real flowers in the table vases...always a good sign!

I have driven by this place many times and finally decided to give it a shot since I had Yener with me. It's not a bad place at all. The service was friendly, the food was decent, but I don't think I could call this place my favorite Chinese restaurant. It's a good place to go if you don't want to be stuck in the mall, though.

During the summer months, they have an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. During the rest of the year, they serve vegetable and chicken lunch specials.

I really enjoy most Indian food. Consequently, I really enjoy this restaurant. The decor is very nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I've had both the buffet here as well as the lunch special and both have been spectacular! Go give them a try.

Yener was informed about this place from a collegue of his. We decided to go give it a shot one night as we were driving around looking for a place to eat. This is a very nice restaurant! The food was good and the service was very nice and prompt.

I used to eat at this restaurant all the time when I worked across the street from it. It was here that I first got addicted to hot and spicy foods. The entrees here are quickly prepared and taste absolutely spectacular. If you're looking for good Thai food, this is a great place to start.

My sister mentioned this to me and it got very good reviews from Elyse. I knew I had to go. It's a small restaurant, but the food is EXCELLENT. I have only been there for lunch and I've fallen in love with their lunch bento boxes. It's a surprising amount of food and the quality is really good.

This is a place I tried on a friend's recommendation. While it looks like an unglamourus hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a strip mall, it is clean and nicely decorated inside. The waitstaff is friendly and prompt. The food is spectacular! I highly recommend you try their Hot and Sour Soup. It's a lovely golden color and unlike anything I've tried in other Thai establishments.
