Another great Thai restaurant in Phoenix. If you like Lom Wong or Glai Bann then you will like this place. More unique offerings than most Thai restaurants and all the dishes we had were excellent.

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.

We sat at the beautiful curved bar and were “taken care” of by our bartendress. She guided us through the menu and our meals were a broad selection from the offerings and were OUTSTANDING. Shishito peppers, calamari, hamachi, George’s Bank Scallops and the Risotto and Wagyu Beef tips…a delicious and memorable dining experience! Thank you! Angus
