Got it to go but it was good. Duck curry noodle was delicious and the rice was fresh and vegetable packed and added jumbo deveined shrimp... Yumm. I'll go back for certain - maybe to eat in next time
We have visited this establishment 2 times to eat in the restaurant and both times they were excellent the food was great we wished they were a little bit north of where the restaurant is so it was easier to get to we love the taste and atmosphere of the sit down area witch is not as big as the taste is.
Papaya salad and red curry are excellent choices. Friendly staff and fast service also
Oh my goodness I love this place! I've been here twice & both times have been amazing! I've had their pad Thai with tofu which is so delicious. I've had their fried veggie rolls. I can eat so many of those because they're so yummy! Their Thai iced tea is delicious & their mango with sticky rice dessert is to die for! They have great service too. The restaurant is so cute & nicely decorated. I highly recommend this place!
I've had plenty of Thai food, and none any better than what I ate here tonight! The atmosphere of this place is so charming and relaxing, it was a nice place to stop in during a long haul trip across the country. Plants, paintings, a fish tank, and even a little fountain made this a nice, quiet place to get away from the stress of the road. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Would absolutely come back!
This is a great local Thai spot! I have tried a variety of dishes from here and they have all been really tasty and good! The inside of the restaurant is really cool and they have excellent service
Food is fantastic, service is fast and courteous and staff is friendly. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean. One of the best Thai restaurants in the SW suburbs, where Asian choices are limited. Tom Yum soup is a great combination of hot, sour and sweet. Pad Thai noodles are a perfect balance of tamarind and peanuts.
The restaurant itself is cute and has great vibes. I didn't dine in but I feel like I'd enjoy the experience if we did. I placed an order for pickup and figured since I'm not out and about in Shorewood often, I'd make the most of it. I got: chicken satay, crab rangoon, potstickers, veggie rolls, beef and broccoli with rice, and chicken pad thai. So the appetizers (except the satay) didn't even last 10 minutes. We ended up enjoying those in the car and they were all great. Everything tasted fresh. My husband felt the veggie roles were a bit bland until he dipped them--the sauce had him totally changing his mind. At home, we tried the mains. My pad Thai was great but a little heavier on the cabbage shreds than I'd have liked. Rice noodles aren't exactly expensive and it's a noodle dish, so I didn't expect as much cabbage as they use. That said, the chicken is usually the weakest part for me when I get takeout pad Thai, and that was not the case here. The chicken had good texture and flavor, and there's a decent amount of it. I tried my partner's beef and broccoli and it was on the better side of mid. Nothing wrong with it, per se. I think we were both expecting it to be more savory and rich, but the cook was good on everything and it wasn't bland. Just not quite what we expected. Overall, I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area, but I don't think I'd make a special trip out. It's good, if not mind blowing, and the portion sizes make sense for the price. I ticked into my Pad Thai with a pretty good appetite and I wasn't even able to finish half.
An unpretentious strip mall facade hides a sunny, plant-filled little restaurant; with its deep yellow walls and dozens of plants (some real, some artificial), it's like a holdover from your mom's 1970s harvest gold kitchen. My dining companion and I were the only ones eating in, but there seemed to be lots of to go orders, and the staff seemed relieved that we weren't in a rush. We started with the shrimp in blanket appetizer: shrimp wrapped in crisp wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce. Very tasty as long as you can keep the shrimp from escaping the blankets when you bite! For entrees, he got the yellow curry and I got the panang curry. We were both happy with the level of spiciness. I got mine with a combo of meats, but they were cut in a variety of sizes which made it harder to eat. Overall, this sunny little spot is a hidden gem in Shorewood! Stop on in for a smile.
