Had a wonderful lunch for my friend's birthday there we sat outside. The weather was beautiful. Our server was friendly and helpful. We ordered a variety of things, including two items from the lunch menu. Everything was delicious and fresh. I especially liked that they use gluten-free breading for their crispy sesame chicken. Definitely a bonus to find gluten-free items on their menu. They also told us about drink specials they do for happy hour on the weekdays. I look forward to checking it out!

Our server was Tully and she provided phenomenal service and to top everything off the food was delicious! Very comparable to the Thai food in San Francisco, which holds the closest flavors to Thailand(in my opinion). Definitely a gem in the South Bay. Can't wait to come back and try Happy Hour! Inside was very lively and the smell of the food kept us wanting to try more food. Note: Dog friendly for outside seating

We came here for Happy Hour today and had a very nice dinner. The staff is so nice, friendly, and attentive. We tried 3 cocktails. I liked my two martinis (limoncello and lychee) and my wife liked her Night Owl - a fairly unconventional cocktail, but we're all for uniqueness. I thought it could also have been called Hedwig's Explosive Brain (see pic). The summer rolls were nice and light, the squash fries unique and checked off the veggie requirement, and the dragon balls were very tasty too. We liked the salmon rolls the least, but they were still fine. Tried the fried banana and ice cream for dessert - very good too. The place is conveniently located and classily decorated. A nice place for a casual meal or for a nicer dinner. We had been here once before, so this was our second time. We enjoyed it both times and look forward to our next visit.

Situated in the finest neighborhood of los gatos and amidst the most happening street, is this amazing and welcoming chic thai place where reservation is highly recommended. I used yelp to join the waitlist which cut my wait time to zero! They have awesome outdoor seating with heaters and comfy indoor seating lending a good ambience and backdrop for a perfect meal. We were cordially greeted by the staff and they took special notes for all allergens and made sure we had everything we need. Loved the hospitality and friendly prompt service. Pro tip: they have happy hours 4-6pm everyday (all 7 days) so definitely order discounted dragon balls and chicken satay while u are at it. In $90 (before tip), we got: - dragon balls 2 portions - 5/5- yummy delicious spicy chicken balls served with lettuce, cilantro, cucumber and lime. Absolute delight! Hence, we ordered another one afterwards! - chick on stick - 5/5- chicken satay 4 pc served on skewer on top of a fresh pineapple (u can cut it and eat it later too) served with warmed up peanut sauce and shredded cucumber carrot salad - Penang curry chicken - 5/5 - i love spicy so it worked for me but just to clarify, they don't adjust the heat in case u were looking for mild. It doesn't come with rice, which makes it slightly more expensive. - steamed white rice - 2 portions 5/5 - regular stuff $4 each - young coconut juice - 5/5 - fresh coconut water which was refreshing and had no added sugar. - lychee martini 5/5 - decent taste and good ratio of alcohol. We found this gem in the happy hour menu too :) - thai iced tea 3/5- good presentation but lacked taste. Also i wish it came "not stirred". I like it when i can stir it and see the change in color myself. I have had better at a better price than this, given the quantity. We were celebrating a birthday in the group and the staff went out of their way and got us a mango sticky rice dessert on the house with a candle and sang too. that was too sweet :) very kind of them and much appreciated by me! Clean cutlery, friendly staff and clean restrooms make up for everything and it was a memorable visit for us. Definitely coming back to try their sea-bass (they were out of it today) and pad thai.

Really enjoyed our meal. We came for lunch around 1pm on a Thursday and the restaurant was fairly busy. It's located right in downtown Los Gatos. I opted for the lunch menu Pao Grrr Mao that comes with jasmine rice. The flavor was delicious but beware it is a bit on the spicy side. My boyfriend got the hungry hungry lunch special of panang curry and sesame chicken. Both were delicious as well. I really enjoyed the sesame chicken. The service was great, staff was attentive. Would recommend and will def be coming back

We went to this place on 31st- December for dinner. We had already done the reservation online as we thought it might be crowded but to our surprise it was not that crowded and they were taking walk-ins too. We ordered Thai iced tea (5/10) very average i think the condensed milk was missing, Drag balls (9/10) they were really crispy and tasty but i wish they served it with some kind of sauce anyways we asked for some chilli sauce, Pad kee mao (10/10) very flavorful. Overall, I will definitely come back to this place to try other dishes and i would it is one off the best Thai place with a good ambiance. Server was very nice and polite too. Do visit this place and support the restaurant.
