    The Phad Thai with Roasted Duck was delicious, not every place has duck as an option. My wife ordered the Salmon and enjoyit as well. Service was great, felt this place deserved a higher score that the current avg.

    Tried Takhrai Thai for the first time last night. Great food and great owner. I felt like I was back in Thailand with the three things I tried (Pad Thai, Tom Kha, and sticky mango rice). Will definitely return and definitely recommend!
