We were supposed to go to El Pollo Loco when I saw the sign. Suddenly I had cravings for Thai food so we ate here instead. Thanks to my cravings, this place is definite 5 stars for food and service. Although we ordered only 3 types of food, Id say their food is as good as a home cooked meal. I highly recommend the Tom Kha, just perfect!

Tried Pad Kee Mao w beef 8.95 and Panang Curry w chicken. Great flavor. Curry was rich and creamy. The Drunken Noodles have a twist with bean sprouts but flavor beats all the other thai restaurants in the area. Recommended
