    Their ribs (S2) are my favorite. I don't know what they do with it, but the meat just comes off the bones with no effort. Their rice and sauce that comes with it is just perfect. Sometimes I'm already full but I finish it anyway because it's just that good. For me at least.

    Tom Kha (coconut soup) is another item we typically get. I always get mild as far as how spicy it is. It has the right balance for me. The soup is just the right amount of creamy. A lot of chicken and mushroom pieces.

    And I can't forget about the panang curry. This is a little spicy but not to the point that it's scorching. Take note, I can only handle 3 pieces of hot cheetos before I start sweating. You have to try it.

    Don't forget to get thai tea! :)

    I haven't been to this location since I was a kid, and I don't plan on ever coming back. We came in for lunch on a Friday. The food was cold, the honey duck tasted old, the peanut sauce for the salad was cloyingly sweet and ridiculously watery. The bathroom was disgusting and everything above waist level was covered in a thick layer of dust. Oh, but the kicker? We saw a roach climbing its merry little way up the fish tank just as we finished eating. I wanted to throw up. And their health score is an A?? I should've taken a video of the critter, but we just wanted to leave as fast as possible.

    I've lived in Glendale most my life and this place used to be a gem. Not sure if it means anything but there was only 2 places to get Thai food then.

    Came here last week to see if it was still good. Sadly it just didn't have the same zing.

    Ordered the garlic ribs. 2/5. They were extremely dry. Sauce was good and have an amazing flavor profile but the protein itself was just off.

    Ordered their half duck which is a specialty. Again, seemed old. Nice crisp skin but slightly dry on the inside. The rice it came with also didn't seem too fresh. We have the fish a 2/5 also.

    Ordered the fried tofu and couldn't believe it. Not seasoned at all. No flavor and just bland in taste and looks.

    Spent about 60 bucks for 3 dishes a side of rice and an app.

    Again, this place used to the the place for Thai food but it seems like it's just lost its passion.

    The BBQ chicken is FIRE!!!!! Their lunch and dinner are normally 4  chicken pieces with a side of shrimp fried rice. I have tried to but their special sauce which they offer on the menu by the bottle
    But they haven't had it in stock. I didn't care for the combination seafood soup or the chicken satay at all.  The staff is always friendly and efficient. It would make. World of difference if they replaced some of their tattered seats and tables but overall, good food.
