Excellent Thai food! And excellent service! Loved the Pad Thai, the Tom Kha soup, and the garlic chicken. Very friendly and attentive waitstaff. We’ll definitely be back!

Really good Thai food. We've been looking for a new place, and a few have just been really disappointing. We've been here three times now and always enjoyed it. The staff are friendly, the service is fast, and they don't skimp on the peanuts in the peanut sauce! Will probably be our new go-to spot.

This is a hidden gem in Federal Way! The food, service and the small house atmosphere was a calming experience. First time here and would definitely not be the last. Ordered the tofu appetizer, the masaman curry, the mango fried rice, desserts .. and wanted more. The service is excellent. Enough parking.. not an upscale restaurant but definitely recommend for the food and service..

I ordered Chicken Pad Thai (3 level spice) & it was GOOD! Definitely deserves its ratings as their food is delicious. Highly recommend!!

Ordered the stir-fried rad nah with seafood and was blown away by the gravy - an absolute 5-star masterpiece! Perfectly thick, expertly spiced, with every flavor in harmony. None overpowered the others - truly exceptional. The noodles, while fresh and thankfully not greasy, needed more wok-fried depth. A heavier hand with dark soy sauce would've added that rich, caramelized flavor I was hoping for. Seafood was mostly great: shrimp and calamari were fresh and tasty, but the mussels were average. Overall, the gravy alone makes this dish worth trying. If they amp up the dark soy sauce on the noodles, this would easily be a 5-star meal. Still highly recommended for that incredible gravy!

We stopped by for lunch during a visit to the area. The outside was not impressive (bars on the windows and windows covered by posters). However the inside was clean and nice. It was busy but not crowded. Service was prompt. My water glass was kept full throughout the meal. Nice selection of foods with daily lunch specials. Pay attention to the heat level choices. I chose 2 and wished I had selected 1. My husband chose 3 and was very pleased. Generous portions and a good value. Glad we went!

I love everything about this place. The food always hits the spot and they can veganize most things. The service always warm, friendly and quick. The ambience is of a cozy hole in the wall place that serves delicious food. Please keep things excellent as always.
