This small restaurant is the perfect gem for amazing food. Small dining off about 8/9 tables but it's really all you need anyway. You almost have to search for places like this to get the most authentic Asian dishes. We ordered the KaSoy, mixed meat (chicken,pork,beef) pad Thai at no extra charge for combo meat, eggs over rice and the pork belly. No other comments needed, the server was cool n chill. Look at the photos and go eat. Looks like the photos you see. It's great stuff

Food was great and staff were friendly. They accept cards here but charge a 3.5% fee. No extra charge for cash though. Thai boat has a good spice flavor so ask for less peppers if you are not into that kind of thing.

I decided to embark on a flavorful adventure with Thai boat noodles and Lao-style papaya salad. The noodles had just the right bounce, and the broth was as clear and pristine as a mountain stream—though the flavor didn’t quite dance to my preferred tune, it still wrapped me up in a cozy embrace. The papaya salad? A zesty masterpiece with a sauce that sparkled like sunshine, and just the right kick of spice to keep things lively. Service was speedy and friendly, and the vibe was as laid-back as a hammock on a warm day. All in all, a deliciously chill experience!

First picture is Thai boat noodle soup — rice noodles topped with steak slices , pork belly, meatballs, and fresh veggies . The broth is deeply flavorful, carrying a bold mix of spice and tang that keeps your tongue dancing while making it impossible to stop slurping . A splash of pork blood enriches the umami and gives the soup its deep reddish-brown color. It’s hearty and robust — maybe a bit heavy for some — but I found it absolutely satisfying. Second picture is crispy pork belly , with tender, juicy layers of fat and lean meat inside, and an ultra-crispy skin on the outside. The skin was just a touch overdone for my taste, making it harder to chew, but here’s the trick — let it soak in the boat noodle broth for a bit. Once softened and infused with the soup’s flavors, it transforms into a perfect balance of crunch, savoriness, and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness . Tastiness: 8 Price Appropriateness: 8.5 Portion Size: 8.5 Overall Experience: 8.5

I was desperately hungry after flying all day and stopped in by chance. I got a Thai tea, Pinky Shrimp, and Crispy Pork Belly. The shrimp was aromatic and tender. The pork belly melts in your mouth after a couple of crunchy bites. Delicious! Added bonus - my food came in vented to go boxes so it stayed crispy and fresh until i got home! I'll go out of my way to try this place again.

I ordered their Kasoy noodles and Lao style papaya salad and it taste really good. But it didn’t have green beans in the kasoy as advertised online but overall I like it.

The food is so good I’m literally sitting here eating while I write this review. Quick, friendly and extremely delicious food. The heat level was perfect. I got the pinky wrap and chicken pad se ew. Generous portion size. Make me wish I lived here.

I asked for spicy and Mama delivered! First time having laab and I had bitter. Pretty good and the high end of spicy for me.
