    Highly recommend this spot although be prepared for a comically abstract spice scale that goes from 1-5, but can theoretically go higher. Their spice goes up to 11.

    The Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodle) with Chicken or Beef is really good. Get with Medium Spice (2) or if you like it spicier just let them know & they'll kick it up a notch! A must if you like Thai Food!

    Seems we are getting less from them lately. Paid $4 extra for shrimp in pad kee mow, and got 4 small shrimp. Fair? You can decide, but just setting expectations. It was light on the chicken as well.

    My go to right now is the Green Curry Fried Rice with beef. The eggplant in the dish is delicious and unique.

    Had the Massaman Curry level 3. It was great. Service was a little slow but they were very busy. Will come again.

    Pad Thai with chicken is amazing. Got a level 2 which was very manageable and not that spicy.

    Pad Thai Level 3 every time! Their new location is larger and nicer, but the prices went up about $2 per entree. Gotta pay for that niceness.

    The staff is nice & food's pretty good, but (here's the tip): Mentally prepare for slow service & mistakes. Aiming low on that will do you good in the long run.

    Here's the thing: if you make a habit of eating good food, you WILL eat here. If you suck at life, you probably won't like this place.
