We had the tofu pad tai, beef salad, and spicy eggplant* medium with chicken. All the dishes were distinctive and tasted great.

💬

Also borders Venice boulevard so it’s noisier by the street but great food and easy seating make it worth it.

💬

Almost $20 I think 18 for the pad Thai and it just brought 3 shrimps. Kind a disappointed.
