The food is great with high quality ingredients. The service is also superb. I never had to ask for anything. My glass of water never went empty. If you feel you want Thai with a side of Japanese, they also have a sushi bar. What more could you ask for.

Bai Plu and Aki Sushi Bar has the best of both world, Thai and Sushi. I used to work at this restaurant and on my day off I come in for dinner (not because I get discounts). One of my favorite dishes I can't get in most Thai restaurant is the "Kra Paow Kai Yeaw Ma" (Mint leave and garlic Preserved Eggs).

Break Down:

Food = 5 Stars (almost everything is good)
Atmosphere = 5 Stars (large restaurant, entertains large groups)
Service = 5 Stars (it was 6 stars when I was working there)
