“The Kau curry is on point and hits the damn spot, as the pineapple and bell peppers complement the red curry very well.”

Ordered for pickup via GrubHub and was warmly greeted by the owner on arrival; as a part-time vegetarian, Roger got the Kau curry with mock meat, vegetarian Tom Yum soup and mango sticky rice, all of which he called on point and fresh.
