We visited the place on Saturday 10/12/19 at around 5:30 PM. We were taken to our table right away. Waitress and servers were very polite. We ordered 2 Thai Ice Tea, Pineapple fried rice with chicken and prawns, and, Duck curry. pineapple fried rice had only 3 prawns and it needed a bit more flavor.Duck curry was delicious and with a lot of pieces of duck. However, although tomatoes are part of the recipe, I would strongly recommend not to eat them. The flavor of the cooked tomatoes was very bad.We also ordered dessert: Fried banana with coconut ice cream. Dessert was not that good. Banana was dry and ice cream did not have much flavor. We have visited many Thai restaurants and we know that flavors could be better.Overall, it was a good experience, but there is definetely room for improvement. We are planning to come back in a near future and update our review.

Six of us went to this casual restaurant for dinner, based solely on the good reviews. The atmosphere was clean, with Thai decorations and photos. The staff appeared to be all Thai, which was encouraging. The dining area was basically furnished and a little crowded, so it was not a romantic or fancy environment. But the excellent food and very nice staff made it a pleasant place to eat. We shared a variety of dishes and appreciated that brown rice was an option. We started off with the green papaya salad and followed with a variety of dishes including Pad Thai, chicken yellow curry, roasted duck, and an excellent fish dish. We enjoyed all the food and our bill was quite reasonable. We would definitely return!

We stumbled onto this place. It's not elegant, and has only a few tables, but the food is fantastic and affordable. The place was filled to capacity, but they also have take out. We ate curry, eggplant and a Thai specialty that knocked our socks off! Highly recommended!

After deciding to stay in Santa Cruz overnight on our road trip we happened across this gem.Great food and a very reasonable price. Good attentive service. I had a bit of a chilli extravaganza, my fiancée had a pho, God stuff, beer was cheap...for a change, none of that tap room nonsense!Drop in when you can, see what you think.
