    I found this restaurant on Yelp! Located in a small shopping center in an area I never noticed before. I ordered Larb Kai & Chicken Satay. I loved the chicken satay served with peanut & a cucumber sauce (not sure what it's called). The chicken was juicy & flavorful and I live both of the sauces. Larb Kai is one of my favorites sometimes called Larb Gai at other Thai restaurants. I asked for the hot spices on the side, they served everything as asked. Server was nice, and had great timing. I will visit again when I'm in the area.

    I've been going here for 30 years, since my 2nd date with my ex wife and have always loved their food. By far the best squid salad of any Thai restaurant I've ever been to anywhere. All their curries are perfect. I'm not sure what may have changed, as some of the reviews are less positive, maybe the original owners (Boon and his sister Kate) have sold the business?

    Best crispy duck basil I've ever had. Great balance of sweet and spicy and the crunchiest, lightest batter. The spring rolls were piping hot and the dipping sauce was a little different than what I've had before but it was delish. The pad see ew had the perfect amount of spice, asking for less spicy so it would help balance the duck. Pretty open seating for a Sunday lunch and quick and friendly service

    Solid choice for Thai in Arlington. The yellow curry was a perfect blend of flavors and spices. It would only be better if they added carrots. The pad Thai was also decent- a bit dry, but if I wanted to make a quick stop for Thai food, we would swing by again.
