We have been looking for a good Thai restaurant since moving to the Fox Valley. We ordered takeout tonight and we’ll be back. We had beef pad Thai. Chicken with broccoli. Egg rolls and a cucumber salad. Everything was hot and delicious. The price is fair and the staff was polite. Definitely a great spot to check out!

This was my first time trying this type of food and let me say, I LOVED it!!The staff was so accommodating and helpful. Excellent service!My mom and I got the Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Tea and we loved it. I’m already craving more of it!We received the egg roll appetizer with the lunch special and they were amazing! Super crunchy and flavorful, with an amazing sauce that compliments it perfectly.I tried the Pad Thai and we also got the Nam Khao. We loved both dishes! Soft, crunchy, sweet and flavorful! Everything we tried was so amazing and we will definitely be back! We LOVED it!

This is one special place here! Some of the best Lao & Thai food in Illinois maybe even the whole Midwest! My girlfriend brought me here a few weeks ago and as soon as I took the first bite I was hooked! Everything is delicious and freshly prepared. My favorite so far is the Kau Mee & those super crispy Chicken Wings. I can’t wait to come back!

Had the crab Rangoon, lao sausages, lao papaya salad, and steak pad thai.The crab Rangoon was surprisingly good and was made fresh. Amazing crunchThe lao sausages are fantastic. Had a great lemongrass flavor and delicious meat chunks. If you have never had lao sausages before, this place is worth coming out and trying for that.The lao papaya salad slaps. However, I highly suggest getting a low heat for the papaya salad. My husband and I have a high heat tolerance but even the medium heat hurt so good. Also worth it to come out for this.The pad thai was really flavorful. Didn't seem like a large portion of meat however.

Delicious food and friendly servers! I ordered the traditional pho, and my daughters ordered the basil chicken with rice and egg and chicken nuggets and fries. The food presentation was good if compared to gourmet restaurants, but it was great for a family restaurant. The food tasted perfect! My pho tasted authentic! It reminded me of my Mom's cooking. By the way, I cook Asian food a lot, and I know their food were prepared using fresh ingredients. I could taste the difference. I apologize for the photos, we already started eating before I took the photos, so their food presentation was not really captured.

Absolutely loved this little gem! My sister and I stopped by for a weekday lunch, kind of on a whim since it’s close to her work. Small spot, seemed like it was run by just two people, but they really put their heart into it.We ordered the red curry with rice and spring rolls, plus the Pad Thai noodles with tofu. Everything was freshly cooked, and you could tell the chef took his time to make sure it was just right. The food came out piping hot, which was perfect on what felt like the coldest day in Chicago. The flavors were incredible—authentic, comforting, and exactly what we were craving.I’d 100% come back next time I’m in the area. It’s a cozy little place with great food and genuine care. Highly recommend!
