I've had Thai food before but never like this. It tasted like it was made in the kitchen for friends or a loved one. Everything I had was amazing!

If you're looking for some Thai food, this is the place to go! We demolished our food before we could even take our photos! LOL! However, we got Thai Lettuce wraps for appetizers and Chicken Pad Thai as our main alongside Chicken Satay. The service was so nice! We were able to get a table for two as a walk in on a Saturday night! Ambiance was perfect. Felt very homey! Not too loud depending on other customers around you. Perfect place if you're visiting and want some comfort food! I would definitely come here again!

The service was fast and it was a great environment, busy but not overwhelming. The Pad Thai was good, it wasn't my favorite sauce or consistency, but they give very generous portions.

Really yummy!!! Loved the drunken noodles the most. The flavor was good and a big portion. Sticky ribs were yummy when we took off the sauce. We could tell it was stewing in a yummy broth/sauce only for them to add American style BBQ sauce on it which was too tangy and threw it off. They are probably just catering to the demographic around PG. Very warm and cozy ambiance inside which was much needed as we were escaping the power outages. Service was tentative we will certainly be back!

I'm a local to Pacific Grove and overlooked this restaurant until now. I never believed that Monterey county in general had great Asian food. However we were looking for a local place for dinner and drove by, then decided to give it a shot. From the moment we walked in, the decor inside the restaurant immediately caught my eye and established a very cozy ambiance. Everything was beautiful and they have a wine cellar as well with a good selection on their wine menu. The hostesses and waitresses were the kindest and sweetest young ladies ever! All smiles and nothing by friendliness exuberated from them as soon as we walked in. We ordered the Panang Curry and the Pineapple Salmon Curry with sides of white and brown rice. We were there early for dinner so were the only table, the food came out very quickly which was great. Presentation was impressive and just created a overall nice dinner in a beautiful restaurant. The curries were hot and fresh, everything tasted good and there really was no complaints. I will definitely be back!

We happened park for a business close by and were hungry so decided to try this place on a whim. We were the first table seated shortly after 5pm on a Monday. We started off with a green tea, which came in a pot to share. My guy ordered the pad thai with beef and I had the red curry mixed vegetables with tofu. The food came out quickly and we were both very happy with what we ordered. Finding a good pad thai has been an issue for us, but would order this again especially with the beef. The place is quiet with soft music, service was perfect and food delicious. We will definitely come back if we're in the area!

This place is pretty good - I think I'm bumping it up a star because the service was great. This is a cute place on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove and they have a lot of indoor and outdoor dining. We ordered the pad thai, green papaya salad, and veggie spring rolls. The pad thai was pretty good though they used what looked like spaghetti noodles and not the wider ones. It didn't have the same kind of flavor that I'm used to but was good, and probably if I hadn't had an expectation but just thought it was noodles with veggies, I would have enjoyed it more. The green papaya salad was good and very fresh. I thought it was interesting they didn't ask about spice level - not sure if you could ask to have it spicier. The service was great as I mentioned - they were very helpful and they got the food out quickly and checked back to make sure everything was fine.
