The vibe/aesthetic is high class for a street restaurant. The food is very fragrant and authentic thai food. I got spicy fried rice that was not spicy lol, but it didn't taste bad. I like a little more flavor in my dishes so i had to add a little soy sauce but overall not bad. The service was alright. He was a nice guy and did the bare minimum of what server does - takes orders, handles refills, serves food, gives the check. The price for this place's menu is not worth it in my opinion. It's way too expensive for the experience that I had. And it wasn't bad food! It was quality. I just feel like I was paying more the aesthetic than the food. Would recommend! Just wouldn't go again :)

Great lunch spot in downtown Sarasota! I ordered two rolls from the lunch menu for $15 which is a total deal! Both the spicy salmon roll and veggie roll were made perfectly! I hope to go back and try out one of their special rolls because they looked insanely good! Not the cleanliest restaurant but not gross by any means. Great decor, super cool to look around!

Nice restaurant with darker interiors. It was my first time here. Well about the food … Ok but not delicious for me. We ordered a Spicy Fried Rice n a Pad Thai. We ordered spicy level 5. But both Spicy Fried Rice n the Pad Thai were like spicy level 2. Then we asked for a spicy tray n he gave us some chilli flakes. I’m such a lover of Thai food. So when comparing to other restaurants I have been so far, the food is not delicious for me … The the presentation is also not eye catching …
