    Food and service were excellent. Noise on a Monday night was punishing in loudness, making conversation exceptionally strained.

    They were out of a few items but the food was still really good. We have a family member with celiac. They were knowledgeable and we felt comfortable dining here as they had items that were clearly GF.

    The food was great and the service was outstanding. It’s a bit warm in there but that’s my only negative. It was a great find and we’ll be back.

    Food is good but not great in my opinion. One of the dishes we chose was completely unseasoned (noodles with Tiger shrimp) , the rest was on point. We enjoyed the papaya salad, fresh and light, and the chicken with curry. The Brussel sprouts were Ok but too grease for my personal taste.
