During visiting Indy, we were so hungry and craving for delicious Thai food. We looked up on google for Thai food near me, so we found this place. The food is very authentic which is reminded me of my home, Thailand. All the dishes are fresh and full of flavors that I couldn’t find anywhere else in Indy. Moreover, the service is phenomenal. The owners are very helpful and friendly. We had so much fun talking to them. We are very happy for our visit, and definitely be back.

We were visiting from out of town and visited with lunch. The owner was very sweet and helpful. The atmosphere is very intimate, and there are only a few tables but it doesn't feel crowded. The food was fresh, well seasoned, and super fast! We got the chive dumplings (super recommended), crispy crab (think panko-crusted crab Rangoon), pasta salad, phad seiw, and tom ka. We are every nite between the four of us. We also finished off with lychee mochi which were delicate, soft, and had a lovely perfume note to them. If we end up back in the area, we will come back for sure. Thank you for spending time with us today and sharing your stories with us!

First time dining at the restaurant, and I can say with 100% certainty that this is the best Thai restaurant in the Indy area and one of the best Thai spots I have ever eaten at. Business is locally owned and operated by a husband and wife (husband runs front of house and wife is the chef) and everything is made in house from scratch. I was dining with my 8 year old son, an he took the time to walk him through the whole menu. He had the fried rice, we shared the Thai sausage as an app, and I had the green curry. My discerning 8 year old rated this restaurant a, “20/10,” so that alone says something. The green curry was unbiased the best I have ever had. I have been looking for a go to Thai spot since moving to the area, and I can officially say that I will now be a regular. Cannot recommend highly enough, best Thai food in the Indy area bar none.

The owner took his time to explain everything very well since it was my first time there. He explained that he takes the orders and serves and his wife cooks. Everything was amazing. Very authentic thai food. They have a great selection and prices were very reasonable! The wife also makes a great selection of deserts from scratch daily! The service was great. The owner was very personable and super nice. I will definitely be back!

This is a hidden gem. One of a kind fine dining Thai restaurant. A true diamond in the Midwest. The papaya salad, the chive appetizer the curries ... Everything was spot on. Just fantastic. Just fabulous. 10/10 The family run business takes you straight to Thailand

Had dinner here last night. Do yourself a favor and take owner James recommendations. Co-owner Vicki is the chef and EVERYTHING was fresh and outstanding. The hospitality was like being at their ‘ auntie’s’ house. 3 outside tables and 4 inside tables. Inside dining was tiny but reminiscent of small restaurants in Thailand. I’ll be back, maybe today especially for the mango sticky rice.
