💡 Tips before you go
- Order the green curry with extra basil if you want a fresher, less coconut-heavy profile typical of northern Thai cuisine.
- Ask for your rice portion size before ordering, as many dishes come with a standard serving that can be overwhelming.
- Bring cash or have your card ready to go, as the small counter service moves quickly during lunch rushes.
