We had the pad Thai and drunken noodles tonight. I thought the drunken noodles were delicious, husband thought his pad Thai was too dry and had a little too much fish oil.
A great place to stop when you really don't want to cook and are in the mood for some quick affordable Thai! -

The price and quality of the food are both decent. If you are looking for a quick, easy lunch on the go this place is perfect. I wouldn't come here if I was looking to treat myself to a great Thai meal.
The drunken noodles lacked both veggies and taste. The noodles were fine- but were missing that strong basil-y sauce that Drunken Noodles usually have. The portion of both noodles and chicken were good for the price (around $8 for lunch), but this dish doesn't deserve more than a 3- star rating. -

Cute little takeout/delivery joint run by a cute old Asian couple. The portions here are huge!
I always call my order in 15 minutes ahead of time and then pick it up to eat at home.
I particularly like the red coconut curry with chicken and the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. The takeout container is always packed to the brim and they do not skimp on the proteins like most places. You definitely get way more than what you pay for!
The spicy dishes here are no joke and will put you in the grave if you can not handle Thai heat. I foolishly ordered the drunken noodle at full strength and suffered mightily. Now I know to ask for them to dial it back to mild. -

I ended up here after an Octopus Falafel Truck sad: he wasn't there! Colorful banners caught my eye, and I didn't recall seeing this spot - so I decided to give it a try.
The space is compact and the storefront is "blink-and-you-miss-it" narrow. There's a menu on the window, but the sweet lunch special isn't listed: $8 for rice or noodles with two hot tray selections (they had about 8-10 to choose from).
The couple manning the kitchen and counter were very sweet, and we chatted briefly about their other locations - current and past. I went for the chicken curry and the chicken basil: these were slightly spicy and the coconut/curry/basil flavors really popped; delicious even after a 15 minute hike home! I wish I got more curry sauce, but perhaps the rice was super thirsty that day.
There's a very small counter area with ~4 seats facing the window. While nice for people watching, it *is* very narrow ... and I didn't want to be the entertaining window display while I inhaled lunch (and pedestrian eye-level view is ... you guessed it ... your knees/crotch).
Will definitely keep this spot in mind for Thai to-go for lunches in the park, and also when I need to replenish food containers! :) -

Their food is pretty good, but I feel like their cooking could be done a little better. We had the green curry chicken, and I had the pad thai. For appetizer, we had calamari which was really not fresh... that was a huge disappointment since it was super limpy and oily. Otherwise the entrees were good, but seemed like they're almost as good as boxed instant Thai food, just a little more freshly made. I don't think I'd personally come back, but it's okay for lunch with colleagues or friends when you're in the area.
