Panang Curry was delicious & the rest of the items looked and smelt wonderful. Very friendly staff altho somewhat rattled and forgetful due to the busyness of the night which is understandable. Will definitely come back to try more!

Paraya pom chop ran ni! This place very well might have the best Thai food in town (edit: 2nd best). Friendly service and delicious, amazing, authentic food with tremendous flavor 🙏
We got take out and each dish was exceptional and bold. Pad kraprao was peppery and smokey with a sweet finish. While we wished we could have more holy basil the dish was nonetheless delicious. The bright and tangy tom yum noodles had broth that was citrusy sour spicy garlicy all in the same sip. It's everything you could ever want in 1 bowl. The meaty soup of the boat noodles had deep heartwarming flavors and was incredible as well.
We will be back soon and can't wait to dine in when we finally can. While the resturant is relatively small, it is bright, colorful, and welcoming.
Note for spice levels: "Thai spice" is 7 or 8 out of 10

Super cute, nice sized menu and great atmosphere. I'm a curry nerd and I always rate a place on their panang. While I prefer mine a little thicker, the flavors were spot on. Can't wait to go back and try other food.

Food was excellent, and felt profiled:
I didn't like the way I was served by the cashier woman. Besides tipping her well I would like to share publicly my experience here:
#1 From the 1st minute I walked in with my friend I could feel I was being profiled somehow by her, no words spoken, but the way I was treated at the restaurant was one the rudest ways that I never even experienced in any other country even in Thailand. Dunno by the fact I was with my friend, or if because something personal.
#2 Regardless my compliments, whenever she brought the food to the table even after my "thank you" she even turned her back and speechless. Again I gave her a great tip.
#3 In the end I got 2 containers that were available in the counter for customers to take out 2 of the dishes and she urged to my table and rudely got the containers out and replace with other ones with no explanation why she was doing that and I felt embarrassed between other people watching from other tables. Don't really know why she did that. Even when I questioned why she turned her back and nothing else.
Conclusion: great food, delicious, but I left feeling I was somehow spotted or profiled for no apparent reason. I hope this isn't the norm with customers here, but I will keep coming for the good food you guys provide to us.
P.S. for the owner: is this the norm when it comes to customer service?
Update, Response to the owner: I came yesterday 02/21/2022 about noonish. Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate the attention. And as a customer and knowing how great and authentic is the food you guys serve, I would be more than happy to offer some suggestions that you might consider in the future: #1 I agree, maybe it was a misunderstanding or communication issue that raised from either of sides. #2 About the containers, if all containers at the shelf are available to pick up, you can let written or explicitly sign which ones are available to be used. (I would love to have known which ones were supposed to be used for my takeout) . #3 I understand that running and working at food business can be stressful at daily basis for workers and I will never judge ur employee for what happened. #4 I will come back to taste more of your great dishes, again I really appreciate the work you guys do here and I'm glad we can build this constructive relationship.

My favorite spot for very spicy Pad Thai. The pork belly is the thing to try here. I enjoy very spicy food and personally go with the 8/10 spice level. Try the pork belly Pad Phet, too.

Good authentic thai taste. Will go again.

I enjoyed going to Soi on 30th, the food is great but my three last visits have been quite unfortunate.
There’s another review regarding a lady’s attitude and I have to agree, she does profile!
I have to add she is definitely rude. I understand she might have stressful moments while working but I don’t like to feel unwelcome and mistreated. Since this has happened 3 times already, I won’t be coming back.
Also, I always order the tom kha, never gives us bowls or spoons and when I ask for them, she gets mad. That’s ridiculous.
Anyways, I won’t be coming back unless she’s not working there.

This place is great. I don't understand why there's not a line out the door. Some of the best Thai food around. I really enjoy their northern dishes and they have an additional vegetarian menu.
