I had a duck noodle and it was SO AMAZING. My waitress was so sweet, amazing staff and atmosphere. Music was great. Thai tea was lovely. All in all, if you're looking for some good food around Brown, come here!

The food here is PHENOMENAL. I am so impressed with everything we ordered. The crab Rangoon rolls are light and crispy. The spring rolls are also light and fresh and crispy. The sauce they serve with these is delicious and pairs so well. We ordered the Panama curry with chicken, the crispy pad Thai and the rotisserie chicken with papaya salad. I can’t get over the explosion of flavors and how comforting everything tasted. The curry had fresh notes of lemon grass. The crispy pad Thai was so unique and fresh as well. Not heavy on the fish sauce which makes it so enjoyable. The rotisserie chicken is easily one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything is fresh and the taste is amplified because of it. I highly recommend eating here. The only 4 star I give for atmosphere is because the ceiling sweats and I did get some moisture that fell on my arm. I absolutely will be back.

Great service, the soy chicken noodle was great value (look at the size of that!) and tasted good too. The drunken noodles were seasoned well.

We stopped by to pick up takeout and were pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant was open in the upstairs space above its usual cellar space. The host explained that due to a problem with the air conditioning in the downstairs space, about a month ago Heng Thai had moved their operations upstairs, but they might reopen the downstairs when students returned for the fall semester since the restaurant gets so busy. The upstairs is called Mahaheng and the downstairs is called Heng Thai, but for now, they seem to be a single restaurant. The upstairs space provides a nicer atmosphere and is a welcome change!The food here is still consistently excellent. We ordered Pad C-U and pineapple fried rice, both with extra chicken. Adding extra chicken to the noodle dishes here makes the protein-carb-fat ratio just right for our tastes. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Delicious Thai food near Brown. The pad Thai was very tasty and my wife thought the soy chicken was fantastic.
