While there is nothing really wrong with the food as it still tastes decent, do not even waste your time. It is one of the longest waits for a table in Charleston. They are always understaffed (which is rude to employees and customers), it is too noisy and crowded, and all for a run-of-the-mill interpretation. Why would someone come to... more

Finding nice vegetarian fare can often be a challenge. We usually do fairly well with Thai. The veggie rolls were very good, prepared to perfect crispness without being greasy.

I've been here twice now, and it is a decent place to have dinner. The restaurant itself was packed with little breathing room, but we were fortunate enough to be seated outside so that didn't prove to be much of an issue. The friendly staff was very accomodating. The food was ok (I'm not really crazy about Thai food) although... more
