The food was INCREDIBLE! I had the Kaow Soi and this might be my new favorite spot! The atmosphere is super chill and the service was top notch!

Now we can see what the hype is all about!!! The best bad thai we have had in so long!!! We had the shrimp and beef pad Thai. Both were so so good! The guy running the place adds to the experience for sure. 1 man show and he is like the nicest guy!! A real gem

Prince & I is truly an unexpected hole-in-the-wall gem!! Service is fantastic. This place is run by a single owner, who is very enthusiastic and kind. Expect that he'll be excited to see you and will explain the menu to you, as this is not a typical Thai restaurant! The menu consists generally of 3 types of dish - Crepes, Hot soup, and noodles. All with different options for protein (ie: salmon, chicken, veggies / tofu, etc.) The owner told us that there is "no mild, no medium, only spicy!" I ordered the Pad Thai noodles with Pork Belly. Definitely did not taste like a typical pad thai, but was more so a fusion dish - and it was delicious! The noodles are thin and short, almost stringy, which is different, but really allowed for the flavor to folly coat the dish. There is a mayo drizzle topping which make the dish more creamy once mixed in and help cut the spiciness down a bit! The fish flakes on top add extra texture to the dish. These are paired with a little side salad. Also ordered the Black Sesame drink, unpictured. This blended drink is thick, textured, and unlike any drink I've had before, and it was delicious and extremely filling! The drink has a very nutty flavor and is topped with quinoa, which adds a little extra crunch to the mix! Overall Prince & I was not at all what I expected it to be, but was delicious and I will definitely be back!! Always happy to support small, and delicious, local businesses!

The Pad Thai was amazing! The fish flakes on top of the pad Thai was different but a nice twist, not overwhelmingly peanuty and the spice is present but not overwhelming and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Service wise, the man helping us was so cheerful and amazing. Ambiance/vibe was interesting because one minute they're playing Kpop, then anime, and then hard rock/alternative. Would recommend and come again!

I love the Angel Hair Pad Thai and Berry Rice Bowl! The style of the dressing is more like fusion, but still has a sense of Thai! Love it - try to imagine when you were running in the rain, and finally got something warm to eat. Yum and comforting!

If you're looking for traditional thai food, this is probably not the spot for you. This is a more modern take on thai with a japanese and american fusion style. My friends and I ordered the pad thai noodles with chicken and it was made with a spicy mayo blend with kale and apple slices topped with bonito flakes. It was pretty refreshing, I would recommend if you have an adventurous pallet. The restaurant is ran by 1 man who also serves the food in addition to cooking. Surprisingly, the wait time was not too bad!

yummmmm!!! what a great no frills take-out spot. Hours are usually 4-10pm, it's owned and operated by one owner and the food is INCREDIBLE. favorites are the pad thai and the noodle soup -- my wife loves the crepes too. You can't go wrong with a fresh meal from here!!

From the outside, you can't tell this is the restaurant and it looks like it's under construction. However, the owner is kind and fun! He runs a one man show as host and chef but he ensures his customers are taken care of. I asked for vegetarian without egg and even though it was limited, he was excited to serve me and my friend. The menu is definitely different than what you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. However, the food tastes like its authentic Thai food (yes I've been to Thailand). The home made noodles were excellent and the curry was flavorful. These were the best noodles I've had from any Asian restaurant as they were fresh and truly like angel hair. I'd love to come back and hopefully see the restaurant grow! I highly recommend anyone to check this place out even once! You won't get friendlier service or this good food anywhere else.

I saw the reviews about this place being underrated and unassuming but didn't believe how accurate they were until I saw it for myself. The reviews that called this a "one man show" really got it right. The owner who is incredibly friendly is also the host, the chef, and the waiter. The restaurant is minimally decorated with a bare bones vibe. The menu is simple with 4 options (crepe, soup, rice bowl, pad thai) for the base and different proteins to add. Once we ordered we were able to see him to go to the kitchen and hear him prepare our meals. The food tasted incredibly fresh and had a homemade feel to it. I got the vegetarian pad Thai and my friend for the soup. We both really enjoyed our meals.

It's very inconspicuous on the outside. The food was excellent and server was very friendly and helpful. The menu wasn't like other Thai restaurants that I have eaten at, however I think this is because he has made healthier versions of the food and put unique twists on it. Either way it was very good and we all enjoyed our meals. I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.
