Got carry out here while in Sarasota and everything was terrific! Even the heat level was perfect (2 out of 4) They treated me like a king. Can't wait to return for a dine-in experience.

Just delicious !”

My husband and I have eaten here twice and it is fantastic . I had the coconut soup with chicken and it is the best I have ever had - I wanted to drink the liquid from the bottom of the bowl ! My husband had the homemade sausage appetizer and he thought it was really delicious - little spicy for me . I had pad thai for my meal and it was awesome too - huge portion and the sauce was really tasty . The leftovers heated up well for lunch the next day . They have a suprisingly nice craft beer list for a small restaurant and the wine list seemed good as well - though we are beer people through and through ...The service is prompt and very friendly and all the servers check in on the tables so the food arrives hot and you never run out of drinks .Overall - highly recommended !!!

We are in Siesta Key with friends and were looking for a good dinner pre-movie. We went to yelp for a recommendation, and were not disappointed. We had several of the items mentioned in above reviews. Sausage appetizer and golden
triangles were great. Service and ambiance tops. Will definitely come back.

Total agree with all the other 5 stars. This place is a gem. Went there for a second time last night. Friday around 8.

Others have covered the dishes fairly well and they are spot on. Fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared and seasoned.

I love the atmosphere. It's small and has an authentic feel without being over the top. There are about 7 booths along one wall and tables long the other. The booths are draped in fabric and provide a nice intimate feel. The place has a warmth to it that makes you want to linger.

The staff are awesome, friendly and kind. Loving like you are family. That and they bust ass. They work as a team. Whoever sees that you need something is on it. They help each other out and the flow is nice. You never have to wonder if your server is going to come around or if you should just get up and find your own chopsticks. Someone will walk by and make eye contact. Just smile, ask and say thank you. The food comes out fast and straight out of the wok. The dishes are cleared in a timely manor and drinks are never empty.

The times I've been they where busy but it was not packed. They have limited seating so I think they should be able to handle things and maintain quality of service when business picks up. Something tells me they are going to be slammed once word gets out.

Notes:
-Most main dishes run around $12 for dinner.
-The papaya salad makes a great app or get it with your meal and order it mild to provide a cool refresher.
-They don't play with the spice. "Hot" is the equivalent to "Thai Hot" at most restaurants in the area. If you need more spice they will bring it on the side. I suggest the fish sauce with hot peppers.

There's good reason that every review posted so far for this hidden jewel is five stars. It's a small restaurant with a tasteful atmosphere, friendly owner, excellent service and a skillful Chef.

Although we weren't adventuresome on this first lunch we are looking forward to working our way through the menu. We stared with Thai Spring Rolls (2 @ $3.50) ample portions stuffed with delicious filling and a perfectly crisp rice paper skin served with sweet and sour dipping sauce.

My wife had Fried Tofu ($7.95) with a sweet & sour sauce. This was teeming with perfectly prepared vegetables; crispy carrots, peppers, tomato and more. A meal any vegetarian (which she isn't) would love.

I went with the Pad Thai ($8.95) with Calamari. Too often this dish is served as a "glop" of flavored rice noodles. The care in preparation was clear; the noodles and calamari were tender mixed with bean sprouts, scallions and topped with crunchy peanuts. I made sure my wife got a portion before I made it all disappear.

Both of these dishes (and many others) are included as a lunch special with excellent won-ton soup or a salad. Also, as crazy as this sounds they had the best white rice I've ever eaten.

See the picture of each dish posted here but if you like the light handed, flavorful, beautiful touch of Thai food check this place out. We'll be back - again and again.
