"This hole in the wall restaurant is my new favorite Thai place. The first time I went I got the red curry which is phenomenal. It is such a wonderful comfort dish. And my boyfriend got the Bangkok fried rice. That was good, but I liked mine better! The second time I went I got pad phet, I wanted to try something new and was not disappointed. It was so delicious everything I’ve eaten here I loved I would recommend this to anyone."

"Pad ginger and green curry was out of this world! Hands down the best thai food in San Antonio and Boerne."

"Glad I decided to try this place out. I got a to go order of crispy noodles and Thai crispy egg rolls rolls. They called and let me know my order was ready earlier than expected. Service and food were great. Definitely going back."

"If you are looking for Thai Food in Leon Springs, this is the place to stop! Our family has enjoyed an all time favorite Thai restaurant for years back home in Monroe, Wa called Benjarong. So obviously, we had to compare ... We ordered the Panang Curry and Phad Thai, both in chicken, medium spice. We found each dish quite excellent and very fresh. Not exactly what we were used to back home, but delicious none the less. We look forward to coming back!"

"If you took an upscale taqueria, swapped the bull fight and cojunto posters for Asian silk tapestries and banners, you would pretty much have this restaurant down. The far end of the restaurant towards the kitchen had the usual lighted two door refrigerator stocked with canned soft drinks and other potables. There was a bar along the left side as you entered, but besides that this place had a real unexpected Mom & Pop feel. Lemon grass and garlic chicken with stir fried veggies caught my eye and was ordered. I used to get this chicken lemon grass at a small place on the corner of Datapoint and Wurzbach that is now a, surprise, Mexican food restaurant and it served an outstanding rendition of this dish as a lunch special. My less adventurous and non-Thai acclimated spouse attempted to get an egg noodle dish (there were only two, all the rest are rice noodle) with beef, but the translation was lost somewhere in the order process with the less than sociable wait help. Like the movie, "Cool Hand Luke", "what we had here was a failure to communicate". I cringed at the sight of my spouse's entree delivery as I noticed a nest of hard crispy noodles on her plate. After a short little jousting session with the waitress, the crispy noodles were replaced with stir fried noodles, but did not come with any sauce as had been requested. And I was thinking that I had the wrong culture for a while as I requested nuoc mam from the waitress three different times without success. Was it my pronunciation or her auditory wax concentration? Anyway, I finally succeeded getting some fish sauce from the manager when he visited our table to insure our satisfaction. Ordered as medium spicy, my chicken dish was characterized by an overly generous amount of crispy carrot with scalloped edges, some fat half moon slices of squash, and an all too woody stemmed grass and just slightly lemony flavored chicken that did not contain much heat or garlic flavor (or chicken) to speak of. The white rice that accompanied the dish was, well, white rice. That's why I wanted the nuoc mam. Equally bland, the dish my wife sampled necessitated a call for styro less than 1/4 of the way through. The take-out ought to make the neighborhood raccoons happy. The menu here is extensive with loads of curries, rice noodle dishes, etc. and they all sounded appetizing. I don't want to say that our selected lunch entrees were totally unacceptable, but they definitely needed to add some zing to their quality, preparation and service. With lunch specials of $8.95 and up (sans drink) you would expect this Thai restaurant to be much more than Lao-sy. I must admit though, the egg drop soup was some of the best I have had."
