Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking on Weyburn and adjacent Village streets; structured parking available at Broxton Public Parking for short walks.
Dress code: Completely casual—students, locals, and quick grab-and-go attire are all normal.
Noise level: Low, since this is a takeout-focused counter with no dine-in seating.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on order volume, especially around evening rush or movie nights.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes; typically faster if you order ahead online.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Several options; many noodle and stir-fry dishes can be made vegetarian upon request.
Vegan options: Limited but workable; some curries and rice plates can be customized without fish sauce or egg.
Gluten-free options: A few naturally gluten-free curries and rice dishes, but cross-contact is possible due to the compact kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—there's no real dine-in space. It’s better for a quick pickup meal before a casual hangout.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations. This is a pickup-only spot, so plan to eat elsewhere.
Is it kid-friendly? Kid-friendly in terms of food (mild noodles, rice plates), but not ideal for families since there’s no seating or space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Faster pickup and punchy street-style flavors compared to nearby sit-down Thai options in Westwood Village.
Skip if: You want a full dine-in experience, group meal, or a quieter sit-down Thai dinner—opt for Emporium Thai or Westwood Thai Cafe instead.
