The food here was a pleasant surprise! Very tasty, fresh and service was fast! If you like spice, this is is the place for you. They can adjust the spice level of certain menu items to fit your preference. The servers were lovely as well! Highly recommend the crab rangoons and dumplings! They were SO yummy!

I come here quite often. The food is always excellent. I especially like the curries, and the fried ice cream. The atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is friendly and attentive.

I love Thai food, so since moving to Elmira I had to get my regular Thai food, and found this place. Their food was good and place was nice. I got my usual spicy basil fried rice and drunken noodle, and Tom yum soup!! I def recommend those to order if you are new and don’t know what to order, I’m so sure u won’t get dissapointed!!! I wanted to try their dessert, sadly I was so full so def coming next time to try out the dessert

This was such a pleasant surprise to find. The food matched the service which was absolutely incredible!! The server was so very kind and attentive. The Mommy Rice, spring rolls, and Pad See Ew were some of the best Thai food we’ve had in years.

Stopped by and happy I did. Ordered chicken pad Thai, dumplings and spring rolls. All was very good, nothing crazy but it all hit the spot. Pad Thai portion was definitely worth it

Always a fan of Thai cuisine. The balance of spice level and flavors are too good. I prefer spicy food, so got Thai level spice . We ordered some soup tom kha soup, tom yum soup, appetizers chicken satay, crab Rangoon, entrees spicy basil fried rice, drunken noodles, cashew sauce stir fried vegetables with jasmine rice and fried ice cream for dessert which was the best way to end our meal. I loved every dish and the whole group was overwhelmed with the taste and enjoyed everything!!

Wonderful restaurant, desperately needed in Elmira. The hosts are great and the food is delicious, especially the drunken noodles. The spicy chicken salad is underrated; it’s so healthy and something different to try. Ground chicken with red onion and a spicy, sweet, citrusy, vinegary fish sauce. It was just missing crushed peanuts (the pad Thai and drunken noodle would be even better with peanuts too. Everything tastes very close to what I had in Thailand, just missing peanut.) The panang curry is super creamy and delicious. I asked for “somewhere between mild and medium” and it was just the right amount of spicy without being overpowering. We mentioned it was my cousin’s birthday dinner and they surprised us with disco lights that played across the ceiling with a song and they brought out flaming fried ice cream! It was awesome. Highly recommend.
