    Pay attention.  Most of the bad reviews are low scores pertaining to DELIVERY issues.  (by the way, Delivery is a third party vendor, not this restaurant).

    The food and service were EXCELLENT.  I felt like a guest in someone's home, not a customer in a store.  The owner herself came to the table and chatted, making recommendations and suggestions for the meal.  She then made small talk, which further made my dining experience feel like a true home-cooked Thai meal.

    The Coconut soup is some of the best I've had.  (Every bit as good as the Thai Restaurant of Norcross, and THAT is a high bar).  Something that makes it even more special is that the lemongrass is harvested from the herb garden on site.  That's just a neat little touch.

    The Pad See Ewe.   Holymoly.  I got it based on Yelpers input, and man, it was something worth raving about.  Absolutely delicious.

    Food was hot, fresh, and fast, and the prices were pretty daggum cheap.

    Give this joint a shot.  It's worth trying.  My guess is you'll love it, too.

    It saddens me to write this, but stay away from this place at all costs. What was once a really good quick lunch spot has turned into a complete clown show. I'm not sure how they stay in business. The food quality is subpar forget about being served if you go in the restaurant. I think they are making it only on delivery orders. But if you'll read the reviews you'll see why not to do that either.

    How ... just how... do you mess up Pad Thai?    Well they figured it out.  Might as well boil some ramen and add dog treats.  Didn't wash the shrimp well enough so I had to throw them out.   Some chicken bits that seem to be microwaved .... tasting like chicken gum.

    This is the worst "Thai" food I've ever eaten.  The pad thai was garbage with zero vegetables.   It's just jelly like noodles and a little chicken.  Gross!!  No bean sprouts, peanuts, lime, onion....junk.  eat anywhere else!!

    Our expectations weren't high based on the reviews, but we were in the area and craving Asian food fast. We wanted to give the restaurant a fair chance, but unfortunately, it was really disappointing. Service alone was appalling. The one woman in the front taking orders was obviously frazzled not from the number of patrons dining (there was only 1 other table seated), but from the steady stream of to-go orders coming in. The phone rang constantly and you could see the online orders come through via one of their tablets in addition to the drivers waiting around for their orders. We had hoped that the food would at least be worth the wait judging from the to-go orders -- nope.

    When our food did finally come out, all the dishes tasted okay, but many of them like the green curry, pad see ew, and pad kee mao were really watery. I have never had watery pad see ew in my life. The tom yum soup had an overpowering amount of fish sauce (so did the pad thai) and was served lukewarm. We actually sent the soups back to have them reheated and they came back to us still lukewarm! We asked for basil fried rice, but there was no basil in the fried rice. I think the cooks just forgot.

    The flavor is not bad, but if they worked on adding more cooks and servers to help out, I think this restaurant could really be improved. The health score was 92 -- surprisingly.
