What to order: Crispy Duck Panang Curry · Mango Sticky Rice · Drunken Noodle · Papaya SaladFrom Google Maps reviews.
Delicious penang crispy duck (mild spicy), tom gai soup, and sausage sticks. The crispy duck was amazing as the penang sauce was the perfect taste. However, I found the soup to be a bit too flavorful. Perhaps it could have been less thick but that's just me. I wish we tried the mango sticky rice but there was no longer room in our stomach. The Leo bottled beer went well with the food as it was light and refreshing.
Ayada — Built on Kindness, Rooted in Legacy There are restaurants that feed you and there are restaurants that tell a story. Ayada is a love letter to the extraordinary culinary excellence of Thailand. A family-owned operation rooted in recipes passed down through generations, built on tradition and defined entirely by a beautiful dream. Some places cook food. Ayada honors it. I have walked past this place more times than I care to admit, always assuming I would find better Thai food somewhe
I’m definitely giving this place a 5‑star rating - the service was pleasant, the food was delicious (spicy, but I love spicy!), and the passion‑fruit cocktail was so good. Highly recommend! PS: don’t forget to add mango sticky rice for dessert 😋
