      I come into this restaurant when I'm wanting to nurse myself back to health. I had a cold about a week ago and my sinuses couldn't clear no matter what. I ordered the veggie rolls (which have meat btw in case you're trying to avoid it), Bangkok noodles with chicken at 4 stars, and the honey covered deep fried bananas.

      The veggie spring rolls were tasty but the Bangkok noodles at the highest spice level will knock your socks off! It's delicious and cleared my sinuses immediately. The star of this place is the deserts. I've had a majority of them over the years but my favorite is the deep fried bananas. Wrapped in an egg roll shell, these delectable honey drizzled bananas are absolutely divine. I'd come on just for two orders of the bananas and some hot tea.

      The decor hasn't changed much but it is still very delightful. A small bar greets you at the from and the right side has several sit down tables. It can get a little loud because there's no partitions but nothing annoying. The wait staff is quick and efficient and anticipates your needs faster then you do.

      If you're looking for a nice date night, a solo dinner, or just some takeout, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Just make sure to get any of the desserts. You won't be disappointed.

      Solid 4 stars. It was a rainy/snowy evening after a long day of youth baseball. The restaurant was quiet, and service was quick. We were greeted right away.

      If you follow me, you know I eat some Thai and have eaten at many different Thai establishments from Portland to Seattle to Vegas- and even Thailand. Hubs had the crab fried rice. Not as good as our favorite Vegas spot. I had drunken noodles, and mine was better than my Vegas spot. College daughter had Pad Thai and she enjoyed it, and happy for a spot near her school. This spots spicy is very different than others- and they have signs and menu warnings. Pay attention or you might get some spicer food than you bargained for.

      The restaurant was clean, and well decorated. It was authentic Northern Thai which I have grown to love and appreciate.

      Came here with the fam because we're trying out all the thai restaurants in the Olympia area and so far we don't have a favorite. The restaurant is painted in creamsicle orange and it's really friendly. They seated us in the back for our seven person party. I really liked that they they have a spiciness rating guide on the walls, probably because they've had a lot of complaints from their non-Asian clientele about the heat index. I got the pad see ew and it was okay. Also tried the crab rangoon and again, it was okay. This is a solid place to go and it's cheaper than Pattaya Thai, but still not great. The search goes on.

      We were the only table there so service was good. I think the portion was a quite little for the price but the quality was not bad. We ordered 5 dishes:
      . Gai Yang: chicken was moist and flavorful
      . Pineapple fried rice: not bad but it didn't have that nice wok flavor
      . Bombay curry: this is a special dish of the week. Very flavorful and the avocado in here worked
      . Pad woon sen: the best dish out of 5. Very flavorful and balanced dish
      . Boat noodle: didn't have that liver taste that i expected from this dish. Tasted more like a sweeter and less spicy version of Pho

      By the way, the spiciness here was a joke. The server said it's very spicy so we ordered everything as 3 stars and we had to put a ton of red peppers in all of our dishes

      Amazing service, Amazing food, And the atmosphere is welcoming and inviting. I recommend trying the Thai wings they are so crispy and perfect. Also the Pad See. Ew, and Drunken noodles are both fantastic.

      We were hungry and in the area so we decided to try out this restaurant since they had great reviews. The quality of the food and large portions did not disappoint. We ordered the Roti Massamam and Chicken Pad Thai at a spice level of 1 1/2 since other reviewers noted that their spice level is more intense than others. The food was amazing. Even though we did a low spice level, there was still a noticeable but enjoyable heat to the dish. We also had a Thai Iced Tea which was loaded with wonderful flavors. The service was relaxed but absolutely fine since the dishes are made to order. The restaurant itself is airy and very clean. The walls all different colors with beautiful artwork that reminded me of my visit to Thailand. Overall, highly recommended.

      I haven't been to every Thai place in Lacey so I can't say this one is for sure the best but it is the best one I've found. The food is authentic and delicious, I got the nom tok salad on my last visit and it was really good. They warn you that their food is spicier than most places and I recommend taking their advice! I usually will do a 4/5 star spice at Thai places in WA but I do a 2/5 here and it's not lefty spicy. My only issue with the restaurant is that it's a little pricier than I would like it to be. My nom tok was 25$ before tip, however I still recommend it and think the food is really quality. Reminds me of Thailand for sure!

      The food was amazingly flavorful. Service was outstanding. I typically do takeout from here but decided to meet some people for dinner there was no wait on a early Saturday evening.

      Nice quiet restaurant. Our server was new but she was friendly and quick! Our waters were always full, and we never had to look for her.

      The food is a little pricier but delicious. I got the pad Thai with beef, my husband got the panang curry, and we also got the tom ka. The mushrooms in the soup were so tasty. The soul is very tart.

      I also got a Thai iced coffee which was good! Good balance of sweetness.
