    Beautiful decor, great tasting food! Do try pandan leaves chicken, Pad thai & Tapioca dumplings. For vegetarians they use oyster/fish sauce,pls check with server to modify :)

    The Shahs go to Thai Villa with their relatives. Dev reveals that he’s not that religious. He orders the crispy pork. His mom is so upset that she has them leave the restaurant. [Episode 3] Read more

    Delicious thai food. Decor and ambiance are on point, and the service is professional and friendly. LOVED the appetizers (papaya salad and mango salad with salmon). Great for a celebratory dinner.

    We got the Param w/ beef and the SeaBass w/ coconut milk. Both were amazing. They originally sat us upstairs which was lame. Def wait for a table in the main room. Much nicer. Food and drinks were !!!

    Food is excellent. Strong flavors, fresh seafood. Cocktails and dessert fall flat. Didn’t finish either of those. Famous sticky rice is blue and flavorless. Come early or prepare to wait.

    This is Rafi’s favorite pad thai ever. He also really enjoyed the negroni, and he’s a picky drinker.
