Kimberly Arguna: You gotta try the fried chicken!!!! To diee for! Crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside! No need for sauce!
Dan Kim: Great, juicy fried chicken! The biscuits and Mac n' cheese were top notch delicious. A bit pricier than your typical Southern fare.
gail.: We had a few starters: beignets, fried okra, & mac 'n cheese. I had their incredible fried chicken & waffles- the bacon in the waffles takes the dish over the top. Everyone left feeling fat and happy!

Yin Li: If you don't like Thai curry for its sweetness, try the beef noodle soup or the tom yum noodle soup. The fried chicken is also great!
Runqiu Cai: Very flavorful and creative Thai food. Rice salad, fried chicken wings, 24hr beef noodle soup 👍👍
Laurea de Ocampo: Some of the best Thai in SF! Get the fried chicken - it comes with a delicious red curry and roti. The blue rice is for visual effect, doesn't affect the taste. Also get the ginger milk tea.
