Best and most flavorful authentic Thai food in Lansing! Coconut soup, garlic pork and pad Thai come in perfect portions for great prices.

Quick quality lunch meals. The price can't be beat for these quality meals. You get your dish, rice, those amazing egg rolls and a drink.
Yes do try. I can agree with other patrons that the seasoning is lacking but the demo is not that ethnic and likely prefers blander dishes. It's not bland it's just not spicy. I enjoy it and feel it's well worth my money. I leave full but often order more of the rolls out of gluttony. They are fried crispy and the veggies are still full of spice and juicy. The sweet sauce is the right fit for it.
The veggies in your dish, along with bamboo shoots will always be crunchy but hot, not limp or overcooked. The sauces always coat everything and are good to the last drop with the last piece of rice. The rice is often to the side but the meat, veggies and sauce are blended. Noodles will be well coated as well. I wouldn't say this is the best Thai but it has little competition in this area and I prefer it over much of the American fare around.
I enjoy the plentiful meat in my dishes that are seasoned and throughout my meal not just a small pile on the side. I like my meat throughout this dish as it absorbs the flavor of the sauce better.
The menu goes beyond the lunches and provides many options for the picky or allergic eater. My critiques are the limited hours and payment options. This is an ideal late night spot but it's not open late. Also they only take cash and while I know to bring it, it's not always convenient. -

Overall: 3
This place actually deserves a 3.5, but we just couldn't justify giving it a 4. In Lansing, finding authentic ethnic food is challenging, and this place is probably one of the more reasonable Thai options. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a hole-in-the-wall in Bangkok (in the best possible way - cheery blue walls, authentic décor), but the food just didn't quite hit the mark.

Food missing some bright sweet and sour notes, but otherwise reasonably enjoyable and fresh. Ordered the Thai steak (#5) and Yum Nua (#15). Both were a little on the small side, but were a good value considering they were mostly beef. The Yum Nua (#15) was better, and tasted like larb with sliced versus ground meat.
Ambiance: 3
Atmosphere is very casual but cheery and clean. Think bright blue walls, carved wooden elephants, gold accents, and a picture of the king.
Service: 5
Very friendly staff and quick service. They have pictures of all menu items.
Value: 3.5
The dishes are pretty no frills, but it's so inexpensive that it's hard to hold this against them. -

The blandest pad kee mao I've ever had, lacking the garlic I'm accustomed every other time
I've ordered it. Do not recommend. Other dishes being enjoyed by patrons in the restaurant looked much better. 20 minute wait at 2:45 in the afternoon seemed a little ridiculous.
Will give them another chance -- and another dish a try next time. -

I have had Thai food all over this area but I think this place is the best. Cheap, incredibly fresh, and really tasty. My belly is happy and my mouth is burning with delightful pain! And I am no masochist!
Had the pad kra pao (SPICY!) and the pa nang kai and both were awesome. Definitely worth the wait and tight hours.
Do yourself a favor and come! Just be sure you bring cash as that is all they accept.
