The crispy pad thai had too much sauce. Not our favorite. The tom kha soup was decent, very creamy. Small restaurant, quick service, reasonable price, good food. Tried pad thai and drunken noodles, both were delicious. Recommended.

Food was really good, hot, and fresh. Service was fast. Paid parking on J St, but usually you can find free parking on the numbered streets. They are closed during the afternoon. They also have coupons on Yelp if you check-in.

Service and food were impeccable!! We were big fans of the pad Thai , cream cheese wontons, garlic pepper tofu, and of course the drunken noodle dish. We split three four dishes and got beers and it was still fairly affordable!

Everything about our experience was AMAZING! Service was fast and attentive. The food was so fresh and great flavor. We ordered so many different things! Fresh rolls, cheese wonton, potstickers, and fried calamari for appetizers. Tom yum soup, BBQ chicken, basil fried rice, and black pepper vegetables with tofu. The Thai coffee was perfect. I will be returning 3

Low key restaurant offering classic Thai favorites with a few twists. I love the avocado curries, you can get 2 curries with the avocado option - yellow and green, green is highly recommended. I add the chicken and along with rice, the dish comes out to under 18 which is affordable especially for the area. They have several beers on tap, including local favorites and you can even get a pitcher for under 10. Highly recommend. The service is fast and friendly. We usually wait about 3 to 5 minutes for our food to come out piping hot. And the portions are on the larger end, once you factor in the rice (of which is included in the price, bonus points!) Also, the curry bowls are deceiving, there's more food than it seems. Always have good music playing, definitely my favorite place for Thai on the grid due to its unassuming nature.

What a great restaurant! I tried the Drunken Noodle with chicken and my honey had the Spicy Pad Thai. He also had some hot saki and a beer that looked like grape kool aid - he said all were really good. We had coconut ice cream with an edible flower. (I had never eaten a flower, tastes like salad.) Really friendly staff, really good food, clean dining room and an all around pleasant experience.

This is pretty good restaurant. Especially with this price and this quality food, it’s really amazing. I visit here in happy hour time. Spring rolls, calamari fries, garlic french fries are happy hour menu so each dish was less than 5bucks. They made them when I ordered so it taste fresh. I like their calamari fries and the sauce. Spring rolls have some tofu inside which went well with their peanut sauce. Garlic fries are okay but not that special. As an entree, i got red curry with chicken. They put a lot of ingredients and blended well in the soup. I was told this place is run by the same owner which is coconut on T. However taste is pretty different. Drunken noodle is way better and fresh.
