What diners are saying
Diners have mixed but often satisfying experiences here, with the mango sticky rice standing out as a delicious, albeit pricey, favorite. While some guests enjoy reliable staples like yellow curry, pad Thai, and drunken noodles for filling a craving, others note inconsistencies with dishes like the basil fried rice and BBQ chicken lacking expected flavors or seasoning. The atmosphere is described as cute but tiny with limited seating, making it a popular spot for takeout rather than dining in, though customers advise checking to-go bags carefully for utensils.
