Frommer's Review

This addition to the Las Cruces dining scene offers delicious flavors in a comfortably elegant atmosphere. It's set in an open room accented with Thai tapestries on the tables and Thai village scenes on the walls. Service is congenial, though be prepared to wait a bit for the food. Chef Kimberly Miag uses very fresh ingredients and brings her own touch to traditional Thai dishes such as pad Thai -- rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, tofu, tamarind sauce, and shrimp or chicken. I've also enjoyed a delicious pad pong kari -- broccoli, bell pepper, straw mushrooms, and chicken or shrimp in a yellow curry and coconut milk sauce. Unique to this Thai restaurant, the chef is open to dialing the spice way down so even tender stomachs can enjoy eating here. Enjoy beer and wine with your meal.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
