Visited for dinner on February 17, 2022. Objectively, this is what I encountered: Pulled into parking lot and there was a cat in the window of the "dining room". Entered the building and was immediately hit with a strong odor that is hard to describe - like a combination of random food smells mixed with cat box odor. Not pleasant. Greeted and seated by the very kind owner as a second cat ran across the dining area. The establishment was NOT AT ALL CLEAN. As I scanned through the extremely sticky menu, the owner brought my companion and me random canned beverages: an ice tea and a Hawaiian Punch (we did not order). My companion and I immediately decided to get our food order "to-go". When I learned that the restaurant only took cash, I gracefully used that for an excuse to leave the restaurant.
Opinion: I really was in the mood for Thai food but with the filthy state of the "dining room" (the living room of an old house) and the fact that cats were roaming the restaurant, I could only imagine that the kitchen would most likely not be sanitary. I have traveled extensively in Thailand and have eaten meals in some very poor areas. Honestly, I have never been in such a dirty establishment anywhere and this restaurant made me uncomfortable enough not to place an order - no matter how fantastic the food may be.
The owner seemed very hospitable and I wish him the best! I assume it is a rough living. I am disappointed that I didn't get to try the menu, but I just had a really bad feeling about the lack of cleanliness of the establishment - and that is coming from a person that is not a "cleanliness freak".
