    The ambience is very casual. When you come in, they will direct you. If you were coming in to pick up takeout, they will have you wait at the table next to the cash register. There's a good amount of parking in the lot. Every day the food is made fresh. They make everything in the house. It tastes very authentic and has a family feel. Over all the food was delicious. We wished the shrimp and scallops had more seafood in it but I think that's the case everywhere. We will definitely be coming back and would recommend.

    Came for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Make sure to ask for the lunch special menu, otherwise they just give you the traditional dinner one. It came with a soup and wonton appetizer. The soup I got was chicken and rice and it was super simple but comforting (it did have a pretty strong ginger taste as well). The pad thai and fried rice both tasted very authentic! The chicken was cooked well and the noodles were the perfect texture. The server provides hot sauce to adjust the spice level (which in my opinion was needed, but if you are sensitive to spice it's perfect). I will definitely come again!

    Drove from Oswego for this and it was well worth it! Food was so good. Ordered egg rolls and pot stickers for appetizers. Will definitely be back soon!

    Just had the Panang Curry and LOVED it! Not everyone can make favorable curry. The sauce was NOT too spicy, just a hint of spice. The rice was soft and tender, while the vegetables were slightly crisp, but smooth enough to mix easily with the sauce, and the rice. Absolutely loved it !!!!!!
