. . . "This was a tough one. I actually had this review saved and tossed-and-turned between a two or three star rating. In the end, my experience could have been a lot better, but I get this is a small, family run restaurant (one star). And, the food is delicious (you can imagine the family cooking for you...another star). But that's about it.\n\nI was in the area and didn't feel like any big-chain type of restaurants, so thanks to Yelp, the search brought my bf and I to a small, unassuming plaza.\n\nThis restaurant was EMPTY when we arrived. I was a bit apprehensive (as in would the food be fresh?), but I was hungry and we were promptly seated by a young man. It quickly appeared that he was the son of the owners and I thought what a good son to be helping out his family on a Friday night. He had a computer station in the back and it seemed he was part-time studying (or something else) and part-time serving. He wasn't the best server.\n\nFood. The fresh spring rolls were TO DIE FOR! At the end of the night, I thought if I ever came back here, I would just order these spring rolls and that's it. Fresh, still warm and the skin was soft and chewy. We also put in an order for a Vegetable Soup, fried whole fish with vegetables, and a Lemon Grass Pad Thai. The rest of the food was okay...but I have to say it was \"clean' food. What I mean was that the fish and pad Thai were not doused heavily in sauce, which is the way I like my food. I didn't feel heavy after eating.\n\nWhen we were eating, a HUGE group of 20 came in and I overheard something about \"we made reservations yesterday.\" Then, the \"mother\" came out and started pulling tables together to make room. I was thinking to myself, couldn't you have done this ahead of time?\n\nOverall, I would recommend this place for takeout. In-house dining can be frustrating because service is non-existent. I get the son sees this as part-time, but he seemed agitated at working. We were lucky that we had submitted our order before the big group, otherwise, our food would have been some time to come out. \n\nI can't begrudge a small, family, owned restaurant, especially when the food is good. I would consider takeout. And it doesn't seem like there is another Thai restaurant in the near vicinity, so this is as good as it gets."^^ . "2013-03-12T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ .
