TRY RUBY OF SIAM!!! Don’t let any previous reviews deter you. I don’t recall they had the lunch special last time I was here. It’s fantastic! $15 includes drink, appetizer, soup or salad and an entree. Each of your four choices have MANY options to choose from. The pic of the cucumber salad was after I started eating…sorry about that. Everything was great. That lime chicken appetizer was possibly my favorite part of the meal but the curry was first rate too! Staff was quick and friendly. There wasn’t any music playing when I came in so the atmosphere was initially too quiet for me. Once other customers started arriving they played some soft non offensive music. If you love Thai…GO! If you don’t know if you like Thai…TRY IT!!!

So good!!! I often don't like using grub hub or Uber eats because it takes away profit from amazing restaurants like this. I just ordered grub hub delivery from here, and it was fantastic! Delivery food never tastes this good! I am so excited to come dine in. *We had the steamed pot stickers, the chicken was unreal. *The peanut chicken skewers were so authentic with small vinegar salad. *Mango sticky rice for desert, was great... No one has this!!! *Pad Thai, some of best I've had in this area- even good in a to go box *Washed down with a great Thai tea :) Thank you.
