5 stars for their yummy beef jerky!
I think I've tried a few other dishes but honestly I don't quite remember what I've ordered. My go-to dish is their beef jerky and sticky rice. I love their beef jerky. It is unlike any other beef jerky you can find at other Thai restaurants. At other restaurants, the beef jerky is just plain and salty, but here it has lots of flavors. I especially like the pieces with a little bit of fat. Nice burst of flavor and it tastes so good with their sticky rice and sauce. I usually order to go. The lady who usually helps me is super nice!
Parking: very limited and tight parking spaces. A nightmare for me because I don't like small spaces since I am admittedly bad at parking in tight spaces. You can park on the street if you're just picking up food, but even then parking spots are hard to come by. -

This place has the best Thai food I ever had.
I was in the mood for Thai food and friend of a friend recommended Khun Dom Thai. We got the Panang curry, Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. All delicious with generous portions.
The Panang curry had generous portions of chicken with a rich curry taste. We got it spicy, which was just perfect, not too spicy at all. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew had flavorful noodles without too much grease. Just a perfect meal for a family on a summer night.
I will definitely be back to try other dishes! -

Not sure what all the hoopla is about this place but I checked it out a few weeks ago during lunch and have to say that out of the 15 or so Thai restaurants I've checked out in Thai Town area over the last 2 years, this was the worst one - actually the worst one I've been to in over 20 years and I've probably been to almost 50 Thai restaurants around the world in my life.
I ordered green curry chicken. It wasn't green. It was yellow. It wasn't curry - had no taste of curry whatsoever. It didn't even smell like green curry. It actually smelled like a three letter word that begins with a vowel and rhymes with grass. I'm not kidding. Even if it was too much fish sauce, it was bad fish sauce. I managed to eat 1/3 or 1/4 of it because I was so hungry. This was the first time in my 25+ years of eating Thai food that I wasn't able to finish (or take home the leftovers). I have a high tolerance to being grossed out, but this did it. I felt dirty afterwards. I should have been wary when I walked in and immediately noticed non-Thai dishes such as "cashew broccoli chicken" or, and I'm not kidding here, "chop suey"!! Maybe this is what Thai food in America tasted like 50 years ago. Definitely NEVER EVER going back! -

Work bro took me and work crew here since this place was near his house. The place was small, the parking lot was small, and to get to the restroom was definitely an adventure. What was not small was the menu. Oh my, so many selections and so hard to pick.
We decided going family style and ordered duck salad, chicken pad see eew, combo meeat pad kra pow, and chicken kung pao. Yes, we had a chicken lover in the group. The food wasn't eye opening or anything, but the flavor was decent. Sadly they didn't treat their meat so beef and chicken were both dry and undesirable. Rice was not free and we were charged $3 for it. Duck salad was actually the best one on the table.
Overall experience was meh. With less than average food and basically no service, I wasn't too sure how they were still in business with their expensive menu. Chances on going back is very low. Again, meh. -
