“I think their execution tends to be really good, but I'd like their flavors to be dialed up about 5 notches because I like Thai food that is really extra.”

“The Khao Yum from Pranakhon is one of my favorite dishes in the city. While the flavors aren't as wowing as I'd like (it's delicious, but I just want everything dialed up a couple more notches)”

“Otherwise I think they're a good Thai restaurant that could stand to amp up their flavors a bit.”

“As basic as it sounds, their pad Thai is delicious. A Thai friend of mine said it's the closest they've had to home. I'd also really enjoyed the dishes over rice - duck or roast pork or pork belly. I had a steamed fish that was outstanding. Honestly, I have yet to try something I didn't like.”
