The rice soup was one of the best I've ever had. The broth, the rice, added some chicken.. mmm mm mm! I also had the ginger chicken dish was really good too. Real ginger pieces! It tasted healthier than most ginger chicken dishes I've had in the past. Less junk. Maybe it was because of the ginger pieces.

Great food and atmosphere!! I have eaten at alot of Thai restaurants from Florida to New York. This one is top notch! Flavor, prices and service were great! Anyone that did not give this place 5 stars does not know what authentic Thai is. And you probably have never owned a restaurant. This place is a gem. We will be back, probably tomorrow!!!

Ambience: not for date night Ordered Pad Thai and asked for it "Hot". Be forwarned that will be served as a 10 on the 1 to 10 heat scale. Next time I will probably ask for a 6 or 7 on the scale. It was good and served wet the way I like it, some places serve it too dry. Definitely be back to try some other dishes.
