Genevieve Rice: Kao Pad Joy (fried rice with seasonal vegetables) is one of the best Thai dishes I've ever had. However, service tends to be on the slow and rude side.
Mario Trejo Romero: They serve a delicious beef panang and hot jasmine tea
Aaron Blumenthal: There's a special place in Thai hell for people who do not order the beef panang and, once you try it, you'll spend the rest of your life trying to eclipse its magnificence to no avail.
