Yummy!!! I was not sure about this place but it was crazy good! Super large menu of teas and bobas, full bar and the menu was extensive on dishes! Service was adequate.. not super friendly but efficient. But the food…. Totally a win. We had everything from Thai vegetable coconut soup, papaya salad, multiple kinds of sushi rolls to chicken noodle soups.. jasmine pearl tea to milk tea.. and everything was so tasty and flavorful. Looks a bit like a western saloon.. some decor was lovely though. Just a strange vibe. Looking forward to returning soon!

Visited 05/16/2022. Wanted to try a different Thai place than the one I usually go to. Food overall was good but nothing crazy. We ordered some of the pricier items such as the Salmon Truffle Carpaccio and it felt underwhelming. Chicken Pad thai, one the cheapest things we ordered, ended up being some of the best. Dirty thai tea was okay but it was chalky with the chocolate. Better off just getting the normal thai tea without the chocolate. Unagi Don was flavorful but pricey for what you get. Ambiance was okay but the place seemed really messy. Service was fine. Overall might return but not too impressed.

Officially my new favorite Thai restaurant in Gainesville. They also have surprisingly good Japanese cooked dishes! Highly recommend their curries, noodle dishes, and the katsudon. The interior isn't particularly impressive, but everything we ordered came out pretty fast and flavors were on point. The Thai curries are especially impressive because they make their curry paste in house! We got takeout later on in the week to make sure it wasn't a fluke and we weren't disappointed. Service was efficient and friendly. Prices were very reasonable for generous portions and quality of food. Definitely coming back!

I did not like this place at all, nothing special for sure. One of my friends thought it was alright, and the other said good. I did not enjoy my food, despite being nicely presented! The outdoor sitting, there was a horrible smell. The bathroom needed attention. I wouldn’t go back there again.

This place is VERY good. My girlfriend is Thai and she's been here 11 years, she said this was easily one of the most authentic places she's ever been. We had the Thai coffee and lunch special Curry and Pad Thai. Don't go in expecting chopsticks - Thai people mainly eat with spoons and they don't use chopsticks much at all and Don't order Thai spicy unless you're crazy! You can always ask for the spice tray to add spice if you want to. We were only there for the soft opening but will be back asap. The place was perfect. I would not recommend sitting outside - it smells really bad and there's nothing that they can do about that.
