Lots interesting choices. I came here for the chicken rice but ended up ordering something else. I like fried chicken and coconut chicken. I am not used to the flavor of papaya salad. Great service. Would come back to try other things on the menu
Amazing food, amazing service and everyone has amazing hair! Makes sense considering the parent company. We were a little skeptical of fusion restaurants but they really do it well here. Everything was absolutely delish and the presentation was 10/10. Can't wait to come back
Pretty surprised about the quality here, it's good, has a Japanese cafe vibe in terms of aesthetics and background music. The fusion dishes blend both Thai and Japanese themed pretty well.
If you want to feel filled, an appetizer and main dish are plenty sufficient.
Going to return to try other chef recommendations.
Update: just tried the Soy Milk Chicken Pho, and it is my new favorite thing. Soul satisfying and unctuous without being heavy. Slightest hint of soy flavor, the coarse ground pepper packs the punch, and the pickled lotus adds just the right amount of tang and crunch. I already want to eat it again.
Super fresh, well-executed, flavorful, and lovely looking dishes. The food tastes homey and comfortable, but refined. Ordered the veggie spring rolls, Thai fried chicken, and green curry.
Spring rolls were simple but delicious, and so carefully prepped. Fried chicken was juicy thigh meat and well fried with a little punch (wish there was even more!). Green curry was one of the better ones we’ve had in the area - well made curry paste.
happy that we gave this place a second chance after the initial soft opening, and look forward to coming back. It feels like the restaurant isn’t being as shy about the Thai flavors, and I hope they are even bolder in the future.
Modern and clean. Menu seemed strange with a bunch of creative fusion options, but I think it mostly hit. The soy milk pho was super creamy and surprisingly really good. The spring rolls and fried chicken were decent as well. The folks here were accommodating of our large group. Overall, an unassuming but solid option to check out.
