| - If we are talking about only the food, this is definitely 5 stars for me.
They lose one star just given the difficulty of securing a spot. As you will read from other reviews, definitely, definitely make a reservation as the wait is loonggg. The only problem is trying to figure out how to make one. They don't seem to answer their phone or check messages, so I'm not really sure how else to make a reservation? We were making jokes that it would be worthwhile to make a standing monthly reservation and then auction it off if you can't make it...The place is busy so service is on the slow side. I believe it's one family that is doing everything from serving, bussing, and cooking, so I feel for them and was patient. They certainly did the best they could and you can see them running.
The food is well worth the wait however. I don't remember exactly what we had as it was a while ago and we got a crapton of dishes. Standout was definitely the butterfly shrimp (or a name like that), curries, and the coconut rice. Pad thai was above average, but I've had better. The server recommended spice levels for us, but I think he may have toned it down given that there were non-asians in the group...unfortunately, we were all fans of spicy so it would have been nice to have it spicier.
And as others have mentioned, don't be put off by the very sketchy motel that it's located in. Also, probably not a great place for a first date: sketchy motel + long wait + crazy busy & loud. Or maybe you're like me and it's the perfect place for a first date to weed out the undesirables, haha.
