According to Zagat, This "excellent" local spot where Va-Highlanders meet is known for its "great patio" and "good, reasonably priced sushi and Thai food"; it's a mystery why it's "rarely crowded", but "those who love it" and want to keep it all to themselves "hope it stays that way."

As an Atlanta resident since 1996, this restaurant remains my very favorite Thai food and sushi! I've dined in Thailand and can attest first hand that this is the most authentic, flavorful, nice portion, size, friendly staff, beautiful presentation and widest variety of choices you will find in our fair city!

We like to sit at the bar. Thuy is a great server/bartender. Make friends with her. Odd to say for someone who usually gets a beer with sushi, but the jalapeño Marguerita pairs beautifully.
