I have to say I was pleasantly surprise at finding the food very tasty with a unique style. Being a native Thai, I have high standard when it comes to Thai food, so when my friend picked this restaurant for her birthday, I didn’t have much expectations of its food. Naturally, I was delighted to find their food delicious and quite different. The restaurant has a cute, intimate setting.

I was astounded by the “Crying Tiger” dish, which is literally translated from Thai, word for word. It’s a grill marinated beef traditionally served with a sauce so spicy it makes a tiger cries or so the saying goes. :-) At this restaurant, the dish has no dipping sauce, the beef is marinated already in a spicy sauce. It was quite flavorful and the meat was super tender. This one was definitely a favorite with the group. We also had Pad SeeYou, pan-fried rice noodles with beef, eggs, and broccoli. True, authentically, collard greens would have been used instead of broccoli, but it works. The yellow chicken curry was not too bad with enough coconut milk to satisfy you. The garlic chicken came unexpectedly with bell peppers and onions and basils—very good combination. One appetizer that stood out was the “The Big Surprise”, which is Shrimp, scallop and crabmeat in homemade curry sauce served in very cute mini-muffin tray. It’s not spicy at all, so everyone can enjoy it. The smoked lamb was the most disappointed—quite chewy and dry.

This is definitely a cute date place if you want to try innovative Thai-inspired dishes. The staff is very friendly and the ingredients are healthy and fresh.
