Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We ordered chicken wings, two different noodle dishes and mango sticky rice as dessert. Everything tasted delicious and in generous portions. Service was friendly and tentative. Very good restaurant in Palm Springs downtown!"
"I read multiple reviews, particularly the negative ones, before choosing this Thai restaurant. The only comments that was valid was that there wasn’t that much protein in some of the dishes and there wasn’t a bit of a lag in taking our order, but after that, everything happened in a timely manner. The menu was the most diverse of the Thai restaurants I looked at and offered much more than the most common dishes. Everything we had was delicious. The portions were all large. My dining partner couldn’t finish the basil duck. I’m from NYC and given that a lot of people come to Palm Springs from LA, I expected NY prices and that’s what I found. I would definitely come back. We had already started the appetizers when I took the photos. There were 4 chicken egg rolls and 5 shrimp blankets that were served."
"Great lunch specials that are served fast, so perfect for being at conference at the convention center and wanting to eat away from the conferences incredible service. Nice atmosphere with indoor outdoor seating"
"We had been to this place years ago and wanted to return. The food was delicious and didn't disappoint. Good service. Although the menu is very very large making it hard to decide what to order, the food still tasted authentic and I loved my green curry dish. Highly recommend."
"Pad Thai (lunch special) was served with white rice. I have never seen a noodle dish served with rice before, but the lady explained, it is because of the lunch menu. Everything from that menu is served with rice. Tastewise the Pad Thai was good. Not excellent but OK. The temperature is pretty cool inside, bring a jumper if you are sensitive."
"Good Thai food! I enjoyed my infernal noodles (a pad kee mao with chow mein noodles). It was nice to have the chili flakes, chilies in vinegar, etc. to be able to make it spicier. We also enjoyed the wings. My partner liked his pad thai."
"Good food. Good location. I love almost all of their menu. I stop by every time I come into town. Pad thai and the wings my wife and I eat them like we have to. We simply love their food so much."
"We ordered delivery and it was tasty! Great consistency in the noodles, beautiful flavor in the curry. The proteins were dry in each dish but flavor was good l. Underfilled fresh rolls but good portions otherwise."
