"This was my first experience trying Thai food many years ago. It blew my mind. Since then I've tried many other Thai restaurants all over, none compare to this place. I could eat their massaman curry for the rest of my life and be happy. Send me the recipe! Returning to this place over a decade later, this is real Thai food and still the best outside of Thailand itself (according to my husband who says he would fly back to Thailand just to eat)! Don't change a thing!"

"We were looking for something relatively light and not dough based and happened to come across this Thai restaurant and I’m so happy we did! I had the Pad Thai and it was honestly delicious. Great portion size (lunch menu is slightly cheaper and smaller) but mostly really good and deep flavours. 100% recommend if youin the area!"

"I usually hate coming to Santa Cruz but i had to come to this area to visit family. We had stopped by this place today because my mom wanted thai food and this place had surprised us because its such a small hidden restaurant but the food was amazinggg. Im from the bay area and the thai food in the area is mediocre but i love loved the pad thai and sweet and sour here. The spice was on point because usually other places don’t do as spicy but this is real thai spice and i really enjoyed that."

"The food was delicious!!! The service was so good the server and the cook where so nice even tho we arrived kinda late they were so nice, we order Thai noodles and Hawaiian fried rice, we’re definitely going back! Super recommended"
