This is my go-to Thai place. I love each location for different reasons. My favorite is the Valencia shop, mostly b/c they deliver.

Service varies by location (the original shop in the TL is the fastest), but the food is always good.

I love: Volcanic Beef, Crispy Tofu Salad, Osha Tom Yum Noodle Soup, Green Curry w/ Chicken, Panang Curry, Pumpkin Curry, Spicy Eggplant. Ok. I love everything there.

Oops, forgot to explain the whole experience: hole-in-the-wall type place, which I love – there aren’t any tables, just the counter which probably seats 7 people at a time. There’s just enough walking room behind the stools, which makes it cozy/tight. But I like spots like this… pretty intimate & straighforward.

I’d give it 4 stars, but I’m only psyched about half the dishes… including: tea leaf salad, yamo house noodles, samusas. Other stuff is good, but not super star.

I’m a fan of the seasoned fries & the ‘pulled’ chicken sandwich (first time today). But above all else, the brisket crushes everything. Love it.

I reserve 5 stars for the most ridiculously awesome places, and this is definitely one of them. Everything I’ve ever eaten here has been so tasty that I could eat it all day – including the cornmeal pancakes, hangtown fry (oysters, onion, bacon scramble), greg’s scramble, coffee, even the simplest yogurt & fruit was better than anywhere else. And did I mention BEIGNETS?
