The lesser known of the Thai restaurants in Columbia, greatly overshadowed by Bangkok Gardens. I have always enjoyed the food here. Average price with usually leftovers for a second meal. The decor is the usual Asian accoutrement's, though it does escape somewhat from the typical hotel restaurant atmosphere. You can chose your heat level, I usually go for a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The spring roll was somewhat over fried and greasy. They have a good lunch deal, where you can pick two sauces from a list of six, and get a spring roll or drink included with the meal. The cashew chicken could have used a few more cashews, but had a good flavor. The heat level was just right for me, hot enough to make me sniff a bit but not enough to cover or distort the flavor of the food. One of my favorite Thai foods is the peanut satay; theirs came with three strips of grilled chicken and a tasty peanut sauce, though I prefer the peanut sauce to have bits of ground peanut mixed in it. Overall, decent food for a decent price, good lunch special.
