This is the hidden gem in Tupelo. The food is just as good to go as it is in house. Pad Thai, Combo Fried Rice, and Pad See Ewe are some of my favorites but haven't had a bad meal here. Steamed potstickers are delicious as well. Quality service!

The atmosphere is quaint, with great ambience and clocks everywhere. There interior is small but private. The service was quick, and friendly. My moo ping came out first, was tender, and milder than I expected but still very good. My entree was Bangcock noodles. They fresh, hot, and very flavorful, but again not as spicy as I expected.

What a wonderful find here it Tupelo. The Thia place across from our hotel was closed today and we found this place about 2 miles away. The decor is awesome. Walking back in time including an old grandfather clock. Can you say welcome? We had the Tom Kha Soup was outstanding and so fresh. Remarkable. None better! Then we shared the Thai Fried Rice which again was the best I've ever had and I've had some great ones. Fried ice cream for desert and we are leaving so satisfied. Well done to all the staff here and kudos to the chef! Was a pleasure to dine here and recommend 100%!

Delicious, per the usual! We always come here! Everything they serve is fantastic but I really appreciate that they have tons of gluten free and dairy free options! The flavors are so deep and rich, and the meal typically contains vegetables so you don't feel weighed down after eating! Atmosphere is stellar, with clocks and vintage decor covering the restaurant. Staff is fast, friendly, and makes sure to answer any allergy questions I have (I can't stress how much I appreciate that)!! Hands down, best place in Tupelo!

Really good flavors. We ordered the lunch Panang, red Curry and Pad Thai. They came with soup and crispy roll. The food had a nice flavor and the portions were of a size that fit a lunch special. We shared the food. My wife could not eat the rolls as they were flour and I would not eat the soup as it had chicken. We worked that out though. The service and staff were nice. They are rated highly and I see why. Nicely done!
