This place has always been amazing I’ve been coming here since I was a child and they never disappoint! The food is always great quality and extremely delicious. Never once have I gotten anything cooked badly in the decade I’ve been eating here. Their meats and vegetables, their appetizers, salads and drinks, literally everything is so so good!! Definitely worth the price and worth a visit I really hope this place never closes shop they’re one of my favorite restaurants to go to.

Came here while visiting friends at UMass. Seemed like a pretty cool place. I got the Massaman Curry and it tasted pretty standard. Great thai food in general, but the wait times were pretty long. It seems they're understaffed -- a lot of people came in with take-out orders and there was only one lady balancing that and all the dine-in orders :(

Very charming little restaurant in downtown Amherst. Always enjoy the food, my partner is obsessed with Drunken Noodle and this place passed her quality control with flying colors. Very clean, warm atmosphere great for a date night or a casual outing.

I've been here twice on two different trips to Amherst! Every dish was a delightful journey into the vibrant and complex flavors of Thai cuisine. Starting with the pumpkin curry, it was a rich and aromatic dish with the sweetness of the pumpkin complementing the warm Thai spices. A very comforting dish! I couldn't resist trying the Pad Thai, a classic Thai noodle dish, which did not disappoint! The Siam rolls, we're one of the crispiest things I've ever had! The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the tender, flavorful interior likely makes them irresistible appetizers. I regret eating them all in one sitting but I knew they would be good in a hotel microwave. The chicken coconut soup, made with a creamy coconut milk base, kaffir lime, tender chicken, mushrooms, and other herbs and spices infused the broth with layers of complex flavors, creating a comforting and aromatic soup that warms the soul. Lastly, the Thai-style basil chicken pan-fried dish was flavorful with tender chicken, aromatic Thai basil, bell peppers, onions, and chilies. This is also a staple of mine when visiting a Thai restaurant and I loved this one! The service is great, very quick, and polite! I will return here whenever my next trip to Amherst is!

My family and I visited a couple weekends ago! Food was delicious.. our favorite mango/spring rolls were impressive, and the Thai ice tea! I actually went back just for their tea! We will certainly put as one of our favorites!

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend on December 15th, 2021 and it was also the first time I asked her out. My girlfriend loves curry and I thought this restaurant would be an excellent fit since they have numerous curry options. The price was relatively cheap, the picture shown below is Pha Thai, which costs 8.95 during lunchtime, which is a pretty large portion for a poor college student. When we got there, nobody was there other than the lady who worked there. My girlfriend and I loved the atmosphere, music, lighting, food, and her mango curry. This is a perfect place for dating. Thank you for making the best experience for our first time!
