C’mon Dallas, we all know that Thai food isn’t limited to pad Thai and spring rolls. Okay, fine, those are good here...but the true reward is in trying the dishes you don’t see on every Thai-American menu.

What else is there, you might ask? Well, try the basil mussels, gently steamed in a savory broth of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and basil. Grilled calamari arrives with a delicious flavor imparted by the cooking, and a great dipping sauce. We‘ve flipped for the yum pra duk fu, the twice-fried catfish with mango, ginger, cilantro, mint, and peanuts. Another winner is the grilled Isan sausage with sticky rice, whose slightly sour flavor complements the flavor of the grill.

If you already have some Isan favorites, feel free to call ahead and request special dishes. With enough lead time to procure ingredients, they are happy to make specials not found on the menu.

The modern and inviting décor makes the space nice for a date, and the $9–$12 range for most dishes makes for an inexpensive and delicious night out. Though it currently has no liquor license, you are welcome to BYO without a corkage fee.
