Everything on the menu is wonderful. I love family run restaurants! The Papaya salad and chicken satay are the best around. The chicken curry and Pad Thai are my favorites on the menu.

This restaurant serves up decent Thai food - not great, but not bad either. It's a solid choice for lunch, with about a dozen options priced at $7.99 each. The food is well worth the price, and consists of the most often found choices - curries (red, green, panang), Thai basil fried rice, pad Thai, etc. Most of these come... More

I eat at this location as well as the sister restaurant, Blue Elephant Trail in Weat Hartford. Both are delicious but I prefer this spot...it's a little "hole in the wall" where locals go. In fact that is how I found it since I am from PA and only come to Avon for business. Food is always fantastic, especially the... More

small space and uncomfortable chairs make you just want to eat and run. Food is good but you never appreciate it.

Great atmosphere, really wonderful owners/workers, food and service is fantastic. My family and friends all love to go here. The owners are Thai, its authentic, NOT americanized and freshly made. The only bad thing is you have to book a table in advance because its so popular!!!

Just a great intimate and authentic thai restaurant. Family run and a line out the door! I can see why. Also it's BYOB, so that even makes it better, so you can enjoy a couple of bottles during dinner! Everything we had was fantastic! Try the soups and House Fried Rice in a pinapple! The curries are wonderful and so... More

Hadn't been to the restaurant for some time, but after going back , sent back a second time within the same month, not something we do usually. The choice of dished is very good and the price seems right on target. The decor is on the casual side, but each time we went there were a good number of people... More

This is a nice place to stop for Thai food. Most of the sauces are excellent, and they will spice it up for you if you ask beforehand. It's also one of the few Thai places that haven't been "Chinesified" and "Americanized" too much. Plus for that! They also have a lunch menu, and serve lunch fast enough that it's... More

This is a small family run business that is well worth the stop. The food is very fresh, service is pretty good and you get a good size portion of food. Try the ice tea- it is very unique and tasty.
