    1st time dining inside this week. I've normally only done takeout. The restaurant itself is very small & casual, & our server was very nice. I loved the green curry as per usual. We also got the pad thai which was great. I'd say it ran sweeter than most pad thai dishes we have ordered, but adding the hot chili sauce in top made it a great combo. This place is overall very reliable if you are looking for some good thai. My recommendation is to grab takeout first the beach or park nearby!

    Though this place is right around the corner from us, we avoided it for so long due to poor reviews. Well I'm glad we finally gave in because this has been our go-to spot for Thai and it hasn't disappointed yet. One thing I've noticed is how fresh and flavorful their ingredients are. I've had their Thai spring rolls (egg rolls), yellow curry, pad see yew, eggplant basil and pad Thai - I would order all of that again! We've only done take out but they have a cutely decorated cozy interior and outside patio, perfect for dining in. Another testament to this place is a mutual friend of ours in passing talked about how amazing their Tom Kha is and regularly visits this place. He had no idea we also recently fell in love with the restaurant. Best of all, it's right on PCH and a few blocks away from the beach. Take your food to go and eat on the beach or in the harbor!
