Aromatic ingredients like lemon grass, kaffir lime and holy basil are the tantalizing reminders of Thailand’s part in the spice trade. Our recipes reflect the Chinese, Malaysian and Indian influences on this distinctive cuisine.
Our dishes are made from the best cuts of poultry and meat, the freshest seafood, and an assortment of vegetable that have been harvested in their prime. Our savory curries and soup stocks are prepared from scratch, using time-honored recipes from the traditional Thai kitchen.

We invite you to season your meal, perhaps with a dusting of crushed chili pepper, to suit your tastes.

It's also a good name for our restaurant independently operated and owned by the members of my family, who came here from Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand. We pride ourselves on the special ambiance and unique bills of fare at our family restaurant.
