This intimate Thai restaurant is excellent. The owner personally prepares the cuisine. Every item on the menu is special. It is very difficult to make a selection. If you can go as a party of four you can try more entrees. However, when I go alone, I order more than I can eat and take it home to enjoy. The chicken soup with the coconut milk base is over-the-top delicious. I have never tasted better. This restaurant has many patrons who have been dining there for over 15 years. It is consistently wonderful. Oh, by the way, it is quiet so that you can enjoy the conversation with your dining partners. It makes it a good place to have a business lunch. It is open 6 days a week. Closed on Sundays.

I am a regular here. I have tried just about eveything on the menu and it is all good. The chicken noodle soup on the lunch menu is a must when I'm feeling a little under the weather. The owner is the cook and usually the server too, she is always friendly although a little hard to understand at times. Downtown Hayward has many ethnic restaurants, I've been to almost all of them and this is my favorite.
