Ordered takeout from here as my wife, 4-year-old son, and I happened to be driving back from a park nearby. The food took a little while to be ready but, once it did, it wax clearly fresh and just prepared. And it was delicious! My wife has the glass noodle salad, which she loved and kept repeating how good it is. Even my son, who can be a picky eater, loved his egg noodles with tofu. He mentioned it was a bit spicy, but "good spicy," and kept eating until he was full. (And eating my wife's dish as well.) I got the cashew nut dish, which was delicious, plentiful, and full of cashews. I ordered the combo with meat, chicken, and shrimp. And this is where I'm knocking a star I'm off their rating: There was literally one single shrimp in my "combo" dish. Nowhere in the description does it hint yo that, instead giving the very wring impression you'll get equal amounts kf beef, chicken, and shrimp. Had I known that, I'd have probably orders something else. Or at least not eaten the one sole shrimp immediately after opening the dish.

Been coming here for 8 years and LOVE this place! The Panama curry is my favorite, but honestly can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Orange chicken is really good too. Staff have always been friendly and great service.

Delicious food, good portions, decent prices, and friendly service. I love that this spot is kind of hidden, tucked away in a shopping center next to a bar. There's always parking and seating available so I never have to wait. The food is always yummy and filling.
