Stopped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the quality taste and portion size of the plates here. The server we had was very nice and attentive and the others sever came to help and they work in a team. Nam Cao dish was delicious with house made sausage chopped up. Had the drunken noodle with beef and it was mild as requested. What made this dish so tasty was the balance of the flavor not too sweet, spicy, acidic or bland. Lots of Thai places kind of skimp on the vegetables and this place does not. Was super impressed with how fast dishes came out. The spring rolls with shrimp were very fresh delicious and crunchy and were the largest portions of nearly anywhere else I’d ever been to. Parking wasn’t bad but the spots are small you will get a door ding more likely than not. It definitely feels homey and like you’ve been to a foreign land, it’s very family friendly; highly recommend this place order to go if you want but eating in will also be very good.

We looked at the menu and was confused with the mixture of Thai dishes so we asked the guy for Lao dishes. He said they are similar, that Thai dishes is more sour spicy and Lao is sweet and spicy. He helped us come up with the dishes below (the first three he recommends). Phad Lao ($12.95) - stir fried noodles with egg and already comes with ground pork. Sliced carrots and bean sprouts on the side. Red curry catfish ($13.95) - A few thick slices of fish in red coconut curry. Watch out for the bones. Ka pao ($11.95) - chicken hot and spicy in chili paste. Had a little kick. Beef with oyster sauce ($11.95) - BF was stuck in getting this dish. It’s more diluted and lighter than the Chinese version of oyster sauce. All the dishes were delicious. All dishes with the exception of the noodles had green and red bell peppers and onions. Parking in this lot can be tight. Be careful getting out of the driveway.

This place is legit. I eat here at least once a week and I stick with the same order every time. It’s a sure shot good meal every time. My girl and I split the Ka Pao and drunken noodles. We order the Ka Pao to be extra spicy so when we mix the sauce with the pad Thai it is just about perfect. If you are in City Heights you gotta eat here.

Some of the best fried rice I've ever had. But then again I haven't had many authentic fried rices before. Still great food. I've illegally parked just to come eat here. 10/10 highly recommend
