The food is 5+ stars so if you’re looking for a very tasty Thai meal then this spot is for you. Overall, I rate this as a 4.5 stars because the service seemed a bit mediocre. I’ll give them the benefit of a doubt that this wasn’t the normal service since it was a Friday night and several large groups were present. It was a little disappointing that it took an additional 10-15 min to get our last dish after the first two were served.
We had the crispy pork with green beans, eggplant spicy basil with ground chicken, and pork panang curry. All were very good but the panang was superb. Overall, the medium spice level was inconsistent across all three dishes and ranged from mild to a little over medium. We like spicy so the medium plus was fine, but if you can’t tolerate a lot of spice then be aware of the varying spice from dish to dish.
We’ve had takeout from here multiple times and the dine-in is much better. We were pleasantly surprised (the take-out is also good).
The prices may seem a bit high based on the menu, but the dishes are quite large and more than justify the prices. The prices are actually very reasonable for the size and quality.
We will continue to enjoy this place and I’ll up this to 5 stars once the service improves a bit.
OMGGGGG, this is my new favorite Thai restaurant. It was amazing, I will be back definitely 😋 love love loved it. I recommend the jumbo garlic shrimp and president BBQ beef and the ice cream. I love in Corona and I'll make the drive for this restaurant 😋
Honestly I was blown away. I had the Roasted Duck Curry and it's been so long since I've had actual good curry. For the first time in years I couldn't finish a meal even though I really wanted to. My brother and I went in during dinner rush but we were quickly seated and our service was never wanting. Great restaurant, we'll absolutely be visiting again.
Tom yum noodle soup
Crispy calamari w/ honey, fish sauce for dipping
Spicy basil chicken with soft tofu.
Or first time back since the start of the pandemic. So many dishes I missed....
President that is as good as I remembered.
