Great food, can't miss with the chicken pad thai lunch special. Hours can be spotty (they tend to close whenever they feel like it) so call before you make a trek. I tend to agree with the other reviewer that carrying out is the better choice here, although i think "tragic" is a bit extreme. The smell of the fermentation from abbott is indeed present, but only a couple days a week... but still not worth the risk. Carry out and enjoy.

We've both eaten in and carried out; of the two, I'd recommend carry-out, as the atmosphere is tragic. As it serves primarily as a lunch spot for Abbott employees (a fact confirmed by the near-constant stench of mold from their antibiotic fermentation tanks) the dining room isn't a choice dinner location.

But take the food home and you'll be in heaven.

The Massamun curry is lovely; sweet, warm and elegant with generous servings of your chosen meat, as well as onions, potatoes, and (in this variation) pineapple, as well as roasted peanuts. It's a little like a soup, so eat it with a spoon. You won't want to leave a drop behind.

The satay is generic, which means it's as good as anywhere else, but really how can you go wrong with seasoned, grilled chicken and a creamy peanut dipping sauce?

The Nam Sod, normally a cold ground-pork salad with lime juice, scallions, peanuts and other such goodies gets a bit of a facelift here with the use of sliced chicken instead of pork. Shredded carrots add sweetness, but the tangy lime and pungent fish sauce are clearly in evidence and make it a very pleasing dish with a nice edge.

Every noodle dish we tried was excellent, the noodles firm and the sauces well prepared and boasting balanced flavors. The Massamun noodles were a bit of overkill, but it was an interesting experiment.

We haven't been adventurous in our ordering there, but the items we order have always been consistently good.

The owner is a charming man, always happy to see you and stands as a solid reminder why mom and pop places are always a better deal for your dollar than chain restaurants.
