What makes it special: A broad, old-school Thai menu with generous portions and reliably late hours.
Who should go: Groups wanting familiar Thai dishes and shareable plates.
When to visit: Evenings or late-night after downtown games and concerts.
What to order: BBQ Pork with rice, steaming Tom Yum, and Pad Thai.
Insider tip: Weekday lunch specials are the best way to sample multiple dishes for less.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is the main option. It’s generally manageable on weekdays but can be tight after 7pm, especially when nearby events let out. No valet.
Dress code: Casual and comfortable. Jeans, tees, and sneakers are fully acceptable.
Noise level: Moderate. You can hold a conversation, but expect a steady hum during peak late-night hours.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes, sometimes longer if a nearby concert or game has just ended.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; you can walk right in.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several curries, stir-fries, and noodle dishes can be made vegetarian on request.
Vegan options: Limited but workable — a few dishes can be prepared without fish sauce or egg if you ask.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free curries and rice plates, but there’s no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date appreciates unfussy, comfort-first Thai food. The vibe is casual and homey rather than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes. They operate on a walk-in basis, and you’ll usually be seated quickly except during post-event rushes.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes. The laid-back setting, large tables, and mild spice-level options make it easy for families with kids of most ages.
Best For
Better for: Late-night Thai staples, generous portions, and straightforward comfort dishes that feed groups well.
Skip if: You’re looking for trendy, chef-driven Thai or a more modern, upscale dining environment.
