Love at the first sight from the cute atmospheres to the nice services. Food is very spicy even though I have request a half spicy level, but the taste and flavor was spot on. Also a bonus point for their big portions and the wide range of choices on the menu.

Legit the food is perfect hits the spot, I had the Penang curry very spicy tofu as I'm vegan and it was delicious took me back to Thailand days, spice level was great and tasted delicious, service is okay and atomsphere kinda over the top but would highly recommend as the food is well worth it, will be going back again,kinda pricey but honestly worth it Be careful as they put all the menus of other restaurants in one menu so you can get double the service charge,if you're not careful Other than that get the spicy penang with tofu you wont regret it

The portion is huge, food is decent. Open space and indoors with AC. I came back multiple times because it’s always been lovely to be here.

Visited for lunch today. Papaya salad, pad thai, curry. All dishes are voluminous and very delicious. I'm sorry I couldn't finish it. All employees are very kind and polite. We stayed a long time. We will definitely visit again!

As another guest commented - large portions for the price and very authentic. Thai food on Truong Sa means the ambiance is nice too! A great new local addition! Arnold says: I'll be back! 😁
