The crab Rangoon appetizer was great. My wife had the garlic chicken, I had the spicy Thai chicken with noodles. Both were excellent.

This is a clean, bright, little place staffed by young servers that seem to be mostly family. Don't be surprised to find your table is totally tag teamed and by the end of your meal all of the three or four servers stopped by to check on you, fill your glasses, or some random thing.

This little place in a strip mall may be some of the best Thai /Asian style food in the U.S. And I have eaten at some very well-known established restaurants from New York to L.A.

This place is great, and has some fresh menu items compared to MSG pasta dishes at other places. The owner told me he buys as much of his fresh product from the farmers market and asian food store. Like someone else suggested, try the crab-rangoon, little pockets of yum!
