I am so glad I finally walked into this place! The food was incredible (I don’t think I’ve ever had better tasting mushrooms!), and the staff members were amazing. Max gave us a personal magic show while we were eating that was so delightful, joyful, and, well, just magical! Can’t wait to go back!
My family and I had the best time during our first visit! We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and dined al fresco on their cute outdoor patio. Based on other reviews, we initially assumed that we needed to order and pick up our food from their takeout window, but Sarah came to our table and checked on us often.
We chose various dishes and drinks, with me getting my usual chicken Pad Thai and Thai iced tea. Everyone enjoyed their food, and there were no complaints. However, the most pleasant surprise came at the end of our meal when Chef Max stopped by to ask about our experience.
We shared that we had a lovely time, and while chatting, he mentioned that it was only his fifth day working at the restaurant. He also does magic as a hobby and offered to show us a few tricks, which we excitedly accepted. Lunch and a free show?! Say no more!
Chef Max was so entertaining and engaging, and his sleight of hand with cards and rubber bands was very impressive! We had fun taking turns assisting with his performance and appreciated his efforts to interact with his guests. We even got to keep one of his cards!
For those planning to visit, I hope you get a chance to not only enjoy the food but also meet Chef Max and see his magic!
If I could leave 6 stars I would. Shout out to Sarah for the great service. Outdoor patio is clean and quiet. I got the crispy chicken basil which was phenomenal. And if that wasn't enough, the chef himself came out to serve the dessert, AND THEN STARTED DOING MAGIC. WHAT THE EFF! Chef Max, you made our whole week!
We were immediately greeted with a friendly smile. The food came out fast and was DELICIOUS! We got the panang curry and drunken noodles and we are quite picky on these dishes and both exceeded our expectations! Max the chef came and introduced himself which was such a nice touch! Later he did a few magic tricks for us at the table and we were so thrilled. A great experience. We will be back!
12:12 pm Fri 3 Nov. $12 lunch special (Red curry w/ chicken) is amazing. Jay was a super cashier/server. Will be back plenty to try other options. I much prefer this place overall compared to other Thai places in the area.
