I came here and ordered takeout. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and tasted pretty authentic. Their curry had the perfect amount of coconut milk and the beef larb had a good spicy and tangy flavor to it.

You get what you pay for. Cheap and tasty. Had a lovely curry here for half the price of some places. Authentic feeling as well of a real Thai street food restaurant.

This Restaurant looks like a standard place for fast food. We haven't expect something special. We were very confused by the smell and the look inside. But don't let it fool you. The cook is a Genius, the food was incredible tasty and the Personal is very kind and friendly. Very cheap Restaurant with original thai food and a fabulous cook!

If you like Thai food and especially the 'still original taste' Thai food, this one is recommended. I come here often to eat my favourite street food Thai dish: 'papaya salad'. You can order it as spicy as you would like to. They also offer many dishes in their menu; 'tomyam soup', various curry dishes and of course fish with various sauce. Note: if you would like to focus on the meal not the cozy decoration - this simple imbiss is a great place.

Was visiting this place when I visited my friends in Dortmund for reunion. This descent eatery served us delicious dishes yet in a very reasonable price! The fried tilapia and papaya salad were our favourite ;)

This little Imbiss brought me back to Thailand. The food was delicious, and the staff was super friendly. It is not your five-star Michelin Asian restaurant "designed" for Europeans, and that is exactly what makes it authentic.
