Great restaurant! The papaya salad is delicious! The Thai iced coffee is amazing! I highly recommend it!
We loved the ambience, the seating arrangement low to the ground which is nice. Food was flavorful and perfect on spice level. All the food we ordered was just yumm. Good veggie options. Definitely a dine-in experience.
Best Thai food in Cincy! I’ve been searching for good Thai food for so long and finally got to try this! Basil duck is highly recommended ：The duck meat was so tender, juicy and flavorful!!! Soft crab green curry is also a perfect dish for seafood lover : watch out! This is probably the only restaurant you can get crab in curry so don’t miss it! Will come back very soon!!!
This little Thai restaurant packs a punch! Such a cute little gem tucked away near Mount Lookout Square. The authentic flavors and variety found on their large menu are outstanding. From rice & noodle dishes to soups and sushi, you're bound to find something you'll truly love. Lots of vegetarian options too and a 1-4 spice level on all entrees. What an impressive place that's been open for almost 23 years. Wow, first-timer and looking forward to my next visit! Delicious and amazing Thai food all around.
Great authentic Thai food. I had the red curry without the coconut milk and it was fantastic. Service is good and very polite. The place is small but very comfortable with one section for traditional seating. Brown or Jasmine rice are standard and do not cost extra, something most Asian restaurants do not offer, or charge extra for them. That is a huge plus for me. My wife had the stir fried pineapple with chicken and it was great. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place to satisfy your Thai food cravings.
Great place for Thai food, we chose the place due to its high rating, and it is well deserved. Friendly helpful staff and an authentic homey feel they even have traditional tables/seats. the crab ragoons are solid 8/10, chicken fried rice is good 7/10 the kids liked it too, the crispy padthai is very interesting it has a strong peanut flavor compared to other padthais I've had 8/10. I got the Emerald curray w/chicken and it is great 9/10 I've never had it before but to describe the sauce it is sweet the first second then savory through out and ends with a rising heat. Will go again to try other items
We as a group of four went for my sister’s birthday dinner due to the reviews on vegetarian options. It did not disappoint. We got several dishes including some sushi rolls, tofu pad thai, tofu red curry and salmon in green curry. They all tasted delicious. Our favourite was the tofu red curry. Pad Thai noodles were not what we expected - thin and a bit too sweet but we still ate it all up. Service was fast and professional. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would definitely go back.
Very very very good food. Went a little crazy and got a bit of everything. The Golden sheets were crispy and piping hot. The hot and sour soup had a flavor I've never had before, just a touch of sweetness and it was amazing. The summer rolls were fresh with crisp veggies and the peanut sauce for dipping was perfection. My pad thai had amazing spice! My friend enjoyed both her wonton soup and fried wontons which both also came out piping hot. Their lunch menu prices are fantastic with large portions. 46 for everything pictured!
