What Clients Say

Noticed that in this town of Arkansas there are quite a few small businesses. This place was a hidden gem. You’re lucky to get a table in there because it’s tiny. They have a variety on their menu! Back in Texas I’ve always wanted to try Papaya Salad luckily I got to try it here for the first time. My plate consisted of papaya salad, wings, and sticky rice. Wings cooked to perfection, great crunch simple no sauce mixed in. I dipped the wings in a chili not spicy whatsoever. The papaya salad you had the option to choose the Lao or Thai style: I went with the Lao style which had shrimp paste a little more pungent. Loved it, it was refreshing and spicy to my likings. I was able to choose how many peppers to add. Two peppers were enough for me, not crazy spicy just enough for me. Definitely worth for what you pay for because there portions were HUGE. Volcano chicken was great, not too spicy and had a sauce with different chilies. The Pad Kee Mao had so much flavor to it. I ordered a combination which had chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp. Loved the thick noodles, bunch of veggies to which is a great balance. Topped it off with some sriracha for some extra kick. Overall, I could tell this place made the food with love. Our waitress was super nice and helpful! In the future once I’m back in this area I’d love to try more off their menu.

Very small in house dining, but also lovely.

An adorable little restaurant! The colorful walls and the cute little dining area is definitely unique in the area. The restaurant is a fresh of breath air around the delapidated area around Midland. I had the lunch special (L1) that included an egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice with an egg roll. The egg drop soup tasted homemade and was seasoned well but the chips tasted a little greasy and old like it might have been cooked with old oil. The friend rice was phenomenal. It's definitely a little different from other fried rices I've had in the area but in a good way. The egg roll was crunchy and flavorful. Tom Yum. The soup has complex flavors of galangal, lime leaves, lemongrass with a touch of sweetness. If you have tried the mama soups. This surpasses it by a ton. Yum Seen. It's a refreshing cold beef salad that is best eaten on hot days. The galangal, and lime leaves, lime juice and lemongrass pair so well making you want some more. KHao Piek. A very good soup that has a gravy like consistency that is hard to beat when you ain't feeling. The staff were incredibly kind and polite. Fyi. It's a small place with only 2-3 dining tables.

Asian kitchen is always one of my favorite places to visit when in Fort Smith. My go to is usually the salt and pepper shrimp but this time I got the seafood lad na and loved it!

Hand down the best Chinese food in the area. It’s a small place so I’d recommend take out. Every thing was fresh and tasted good. I’ll be back.
