Q: What makes Thai food so delicious?
A: Thai food combines all flavors to make for the perfect dish: salty, spicy, sour, and, of course, sweet. We combine all of these flavors to prepare authentic Thai dishes – so many of our customers say that the flavor combinations are addictive – come and find out for yourself!
Q: What are your most popular dishes? What is one dish you wish more customers would try and why?
A: The most popular dish on our menu is the Pad Thai and all of our curries. I wish that more customers would try our special sushi dishes and our Lao foods, which are mouth watering as well! I will say this – there is so much variety and so many foods on our menu that I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Please come and meet our talented Sushi Chef, J.R. He has been in the game for over 40 years. Ask for OMAKASE and he’ll blow your mind!
