Stopped in as a detour going home to Charlotte, from Atlanta. As natives, we really enjoyed the available options! So we dug right in and ordered a spread! Most of the food we ordered, we really enjoyed. The only thing my wife didn't prefer was the drunken noodles as it was more like pad thai. Customer service was tentative and food was served in a very timely manner (group of 8 - only one other smaller party). Our party said this place was definitely a hit and worth the detour! Ambiance was nice, great setting. I enjoyed being able to dine in familiarity with food and music / vibes. Makes me jealous of the more hmong populated states like California and Minnesota! But nonetheless, we are absolutely spreading the word about your restaurant and it will spread like wild fire! (Our fat families and friends love to eat!) Thanks again for the hospitality! Wishing many blessings to yal!

I recently ordered from them, and wow, their food blew me away! Every dish was packed with flavor, making it clear that they know how to do it right. I had their Pork Fried Rice, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The meat was tender, and the sauce had just the right balance of spice and richness. I also tried their Drunken Chicken with Shrimp add-on, which was equally impressive. The ingredients tasted fresh, and every bite had a burst of flavor that kept me coming back for more. Even though I had it delivered, the food arrived hot, fresh, and just as delicious as if I were dining in. Overall, they really delivered (pun intended) with mouth-watering, flavorful food. Highly recommend!

Was in the area for a Dr appt for my mother and was hungry and was excited to see what looked like authentic thai food…which is lacking in northeast Gwinnett. I ordered pad thai to go and was happy that they will customize the spice level. I like mild but they can do pretty much any spice level. The pad thai is sooooo good. Very flavorful and sweet, just the way I like it. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

We have been going to this awesome place for the past few years now and for us, it’s always been a 5 star . They are consistent with quality and great service . I wish they an Instagram . Thai Fried Garlic Pork, Lao Sausage, Pad See Ew Chicken, Lao Papaya Salad, Spring Rolls, Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao (Beef in Chili Garlic Lemongrass Tomato Beef Broth).

Let me just say, this place is so amazing! Very cute and cozy dining experience! Ingredients are so fresh and all the dishes I’ve tried are amazing! My absolute favorite is the Thai Fried Garlic Pork! I’ve ordered this dish time and time again! It’s a little bit crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The flavor is on point! Thai Papaya salad is also delicious! You can taste that tamarind tangy flavor! Everything on their menu is delicious and I plan on trying the rest!

The food was delicious and I think authentic. The service poor, in fairness there was only one server. The atmosphere was simple and appropriate for the reasonable prices

I don't know where I have been to have missed this gem! The Chicken Pad Thai was phenomenal. It was not overly sweet and had just enough tang. The Basil dried rice was loaded with chicken. The flavor of the basil was not overpowering and it has a sort of smoky flavor. Lastly the Firecracker Shrimp rolls were so good I wanted to order 4 more just for myself! Overall, Chef's kiss
