My wife and I love this little place! The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. It feels like you’re in someone’s home rather than a restaurant, it’s a very peaceful and warm environment in my opinion. The orange chicken is my favorite thing on the menu. I highly recommend 10/10.

We had a party of five. The restaurant is geared more towards carry out, but the service was excellent and they made room for our group. We had a variety of dishes including drunken noodles, shrimp pho, Thai chicken with cashews, edamame, fresh spring rolls and fried spring rolls. Everybody enjoyed the food. Everything I tried was excellent. But the massaman curry was the best by far. It had a deep, rich flavor and just the right amount of heat. It’s one of the best curries that I’ve ever had.

The food here is absolutely delicious, but it is a bit expensive considering how small the servings are. One item was $8 for 4 VERY small pieces of meat, this is a picture of the container after I ate the meat out of it. (I put a quarter in the container for size reference.) That being said, I will definitely be going back because the food is amazing and the service is amazing, I just won't be able to eat there very often because it will be a financial splurge.

I stopped in as I had seen Asian Invasion's opening announcement awhile back, and I'll support a local family restaurant over a chain every chance I get. I ordered the mango curry special and wontons. The wontons were crispy and light, and the curry made with fresh vegetables, mango and chicken in a sweet curry with enough of a nice kick. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and look forward to trying more items in the future.

The Thai fried rice was so good. Maybe the best I've had. Then I had a special vegan bubble smoothie. The waitress made everything vegan for me and she is so nice. The atmosphere is great, the service is great, the seating arrangements are great. Try it out!
