Fried chicken (similar to katsu), was amazing. Instead of the regular flour batter to allow the panko to stick, they use an egg wash that allows the chicken to maintain moisture much better. Love it! Egg omelet wrap pad thai was delicious. Tasted a little on the sweeter end but it may be because we ordered non spicy. Would try a mild or medium spicy next time as it may be less sweet. Chicken rice was mixed. Ginger rice was good with the brown meat with sauces. But the white meat was too dry. Would definitely go with brown meat next time.

Pad Thai was great! Love that they use Chinese chives instead of green onion like a lot of places. Plus shallots and fried tofu and I think I even picked out a bit of dried radish. Closest to the real thing Ive ever had around here. Good amount of chicken included, was juicy too. 5/5 Crispy Egg Rolls were good too but not extraordinary. They get the job done if you want spring rolls 3/5 Thai Iced Tea is good too, but sweeter than usual . Sweetness overpowers the taste of the tea. 3/5

The KMG was a balanced meal, but got more rice than chicken. Egg rolls were crispy, filling was a bit mushy.

The food is amazing and the people are so wonderful. Highly recommend!

I thought the green R6. Green Curry was great!
