This place is amazing! I wish I'd came here years ago. The food is great and the absolutely beautiful ladies even played with our annoying children! They have a fish tank with really cool fish.

We have searched different places in Twentynine Palms for good food, and have been disappointed. That is not the case with this particular restaurant. Gluten-free is sort of a given as far as Thai food is Concerned. However, the food here was exactly as expected. The ladies were very kind and attentive. We knew we were in the right place when we heard their native language being spoken throughout the staff. It is odd that they’re closed on Wednesday, but by all means take advantage of their great food and hospitality on all of the other days. Thank you for a great experience and good food.

First and foremost, great food!! The atmosphere is fairly casual, so probably not a date night sort of thing, but if you’ve just spent the day in Joshua Tree this is the perfect dinner. Service was average, but the food made up for it.

Nice little gem of a place downtown. Parking is an adventure, but the food is excellent--Thai standards done right. Both the curries and noodle dishes are worth it (I'm partial to the Panang curry and Pad See Ew). Prices are reasonable relative to the general cost of restaurant food, nowadays.

It was a really quiet Tuesday afternoon during lunch hours but the food is SOOOOO GOOD. Everything was super authentic and yummy! Pad See Yew with chicken is not too salty or overseasoned. Really tasty. Their house fried rice is perfect and again not overseasoned. My favorite dish is their green curry. Not overly spicy but has a nice kick and tons of veggies and protein. All dishes are $12.95. I got a Thai tea without ice and it was sweet and lovely. I don't really like super sweet drinks so I did water it down with some ice and water and it was perfect.

Thai iced tea was great to wash down all the excellent noodle dishes we ordered. Only one other table occupied the entire time we were here. Quiet place but great food and drink

I love trying Thai food from different cities while exploring Thai cuisine across the states. I stopped by this place after visiting Joshua Tree, and it didn't disappoint at all. The pork salted (I think it's fried dried pork) was really tasty and authentic. The beef noodle soup was also delicious—the beef was tender, the meatballs were high quality, and the portions were generous. I usually don't comment on service, but it could have been much better.

This Thai eatery is just what we needed after my son's and my DMV experience. I had their lunch special item, some Delicious spicy coconut curry and rice with pork. The salad was crispy and the sweet vinaigrette very yummy.. Awesome various 80's & 90's music waa softly playing in the background so we could still conversate well. Service was friendly, just a really great time in my day, probably my month to be honest.

We had the chicken green curry, chicken kung pao lunch special, and thai tea and everything was so good! The lunch size portions look very small initially, but with the egg roll and salad it came with, it’s actually just enough. Full size portions don’t cost much more than lunch, so I do recommend getting those instead for bigger appetites. They were busy but we still got everything on time. Overall, we’re very satisfied with our experience. Food taste really good.

Jan 2026 We had dinner here. They were busy and understaffed. They did a great job of getting us our food as quick as they could. The food was quite good. It was a bit noisy due to some loud children, but otherwise good.
