Heard about this place for a while but took me eons to find a chance to come here.
Small little place, great service and clean bright place.
Papaya salad is pretty standard, we ordered mild and it still had a solid kick.
DEEP FRIED SOUR CURED PORK RIBS: pork ribs marinated with cooked rice, kosher salt, and garlic. Holy crap, it tasted awesome. Wonderful flavor and a huge bowl that two people couldn't finish. It was cured for sure and it was just amazing. Salty and sweet in way. Would recommend.
GRILLED MARINATED PORK COLLAR SKEWERS: Pork collar, enough said. Thick slices, 4 skewers, paired with a dip. Just amazing & perfect.
NORTHEASTERN STYLE STEAK - thinly sliced skirt steak, roasted rice, lemongrass, shallots, mint leaves, lettuce, cilantro, roasted chili flakes, soy sauce, lime juice and fish sauce.
not a saucy dish which was ok; dried in a way but the roasted rice gave it a good texture and the mint leaves and lime juice worked really well.
Very happy I came here, something different than thai house per se and it's a cozier place so I'm very happy. Portions are on the small size but very happy with it.

Love that place, I don't drink but they have a few craft beers like Talisman on tap that's supposed to be really good.
Owner is Thai, most of the kitchen staff is Thai. Legit. I actually went a few nights ago.
Protip, park on venables around the corner, it's free parking. Their thai iced tea is also good.
