Tough to get nice ambience in that section of Woodside, but no one really goes here for a romantic dinner. ”

My first visit for a friend's bday was pretty no frills: the food was good, the atmosphere mediocre. ”

It was a pleasant atmosphere, with great food and all reasonably priced. ”

The renovation was worth the wait; more space, nice decor and price remains very reasonable. ”

The decor there is nothing special, though somehow the service manages to deal with the large crowds in an efficient, friendly manner. ”

The wine was not over-priced and the coconut ice cream was probably the best I've had. ”

The service was horrible - it took about 15mins before ANYONE even came over to our table for drink orders, to which we took the opportunity to order dinner as well. ”

They have a photo menu that even shows what the drinks look like, which is a really great help. ”

The food, as many say, was good and flavorful, though I don't think it deserves the Zagat's 27 (I'm thinking more like a 23). ”

I'm not sure the food makes up for that but it certainly distracts you while an order or two are being redone. ”

AVOID THIS PLACE, there are much better authentic thai restaurants with better food and service. ”

Drunken noodles are fantastic. ”
