    Outstanding food. Had Spring Rolls for an appetizer that were outstanding. The Crispy Cashew Chicken was excellent. This was the first time we had been there and decided to definitely return in the very near future.

    The food was overall good and the restaurant was clean and modern. Only complaint was they short staffed, which made it hard to get our waitress for anything extra.

    We have been coming to HHI for the past 25+ years, and this is the best Thai place we’ve been to. We especially liked the crispy calamari and steamed dumpling appetizer. The Pad Thai and the Pad see ew were also fantastic, as were the Pad fried rice and the Panang curry. We will definitely be back, as it is one of the few places where the entire family can find something they like.
