This is a staple for my husband and I. The restaurant is a stand alone building with its own parking. Sometime during busy hours, there is no parking. The inside is cute and cozy. Staffs are super friendly every time we visited. I love the pomelo crispy rice salad and my husband like their pad kra pao chicken. The flavors are bold and food is consistently good.

My friends and I had a chance to stop by for lunch today and tried their Kow Soi and Beef noodle soup. We also got summer rolls for apps. Their food is so amazing! I'm still surprised with how refreshing strawberry and Butterfly pea lemonade were!
The Basil Fried Rice with Brown rice is awesome! Their brown rice tasted good, it’s probably the wild rice. The Red Curry was mostly sweet although I ordered medium hot… and not great! Roti sweet is well made.
I normally get the traditional dishes like Pad Thai or Pad Ki Mao at Thai restaurants, so I was interested to try the Crispy Garlic Prawns out The batter on the prawns (shrimp) was pretty decent - although it wasn't really crispy like the name suggested, it was a little bit crunchy and you could tell the sauce was definitely there. The fact that these were also coated in oil was pretty nice. On the inside, I thought the prawns were cooked well - they remained pretty soft and didn't appear overcooked I did feel like the spice was pretty much missing, though. I ordered 4/5 stars, but it tasted more like 1/5 stars as there was a pretty significant lack of spice that took away from a lot of the flavor potential. Speaking of the missing flavor, there should've been a lot more sauce added to this dish - either poured on top of the prawns or the prawns come sitting in it. The benefit of this is that it you can mix everything with the rice - and this sauce coats the rice to make it taste good. The way it's currently presented, the prawns are too large to really eat with the rice, and mixing the two will just result in eating the meat and taking another bite of plain rice because there isn't enough sauce to coat the rice. This dish just ended up being eating the prawns by themselves - the rice wasn't super useful As a result, after finishing I really wasn't that full For the price (around 20 ish) there are a good amount of prawns, but I wouldn't really say you're getting a good deal here Overall, the taste of the individual items was good, but the experience could've been improved. 7.5/10
The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. I had the Thai tsukiyaki and my partner had the Khao Mok Gai, both of which were fantastic.
I went here for dinner last night and everything was amazing! I’m glad I ordered the Mango Salad with prawns and Crispy garlic chicken because they were really tasty! The crispy garlic chicken was piping hot and crispy (just the way I like it)! Service and staff were very quick and friendly and we were accommodated right away. Highly recommend :)
Best vegan Thai in the Bellevue area! There are both vegan and normal options. The food was very fresh and really tasty. We really loved their Khao Soi, Beef Noodles Soup, Eggplant stir-fried mix veggie ,Tom Kha veggie, Summer roll prawns and Mango sticky rice as well. I and my family got strawberry Lemonade and Butterfly Pea Lemonade. They are so refreshing!!! All the food was full of flavor and makes you feel like you want to come back here again. The restaurant has a very cute vibe as well and the staff have been friendly and nice to us.
