I’ve been coming here since it was down in the campground by swimming pools (they are at the top of town currently). They just celebrated their 21st Anniversary! My favorite dishes are: Larb Kai chicken salad, Tom Yum Kai vegetable soup, Spring Rolls, Thai Cashew Nut, Yellow Curry with potatoes and chicken (comfort food!), and sticky rice that you dip in sauces. Wash it down with a Thai Iced Tea

Got the Yellow Curry, Pork Satay, and Crab Fried rice. It was all fantastic. We were the first in the restaurant and the server was very nice and quick. The food tasted delicious and just overall was a very good meal.

Owner has a very down to business kinda attitude but I don't hate it. Food was absolutely to die for. Can't recommend any of their curries enough! It's a very cute couple that do everything between the two of them so give them a little patience. Well worth a visit!

Believe it or not, some of the best Thai food ever! Don't judge the outside (old gas station) too quickly, the food is delicious! The owners are always nice, and everything is cooked to order. You won't be sorry!

The waiter is not friendly and serves like he was forced to do his job, like others wrote; however, the lady (I don't know if she's the owner or the chef) is very friendly.
