| - I came to this place without any expectations, not even knowing it was a Thai food place. It's not hard to find, since there's like a big protruding sign at the front, but you have to go up two flights of stairs once you step through the front doors, which threw me off a little.
It's a very open concept kind of dining experience, looks a bit like a canteen with like long metal tables and wooden seats. I came with one other person, and I guess we were lucky that the table beside us remained empty the whole time. Although I don't think it would have been a big deal sitting beside a stranger.
I ordered the Siam Noodle which I guess is similar to Pad Thai except for the sauce - the sauce was made from peanut and coconut milk and was so fragrant and delicious! I really enjoyed it and thought it was super interesting. It was $9.75 for my noodles (I got them with chicken) and the portion was pretty big, I had a really hard time finishing and felt like I got my money's worth. I also like that you can customize the spice level of any of the dishes here - good for people like me who can't handle the heat.
Given the setup of the restaurant, it is pretty loud, I wouldn't really recommend this place for like, a first date or anything, since it can make it a bit difficult to hold a conversation. Other than that, service was friendly and attentive, food came out reasonably fast, and I thought it was a pretty good lunch experience!
