★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Great meal! For appetizers we enjoyed the seafood dumplings, Thai chicken wings, fried calamari and crab Rangoon. Each was excellent. For our entrees we enjoyed pad Thai with pork, pad see yew with chicken, and drunken noodles with calamari. Each again was excellent! The desserts were amazing! Chocolate cake, bread pudding, coconut ice cream, and strawberry ice cream. You cannot go wrong here. Thanks to Chef Mike! #thwnd
April 19 · Andrew & Mary BabiakVegetarian perspectiveI can't believe I haven't been here before, what an amazing Thai spot right in Fairmount. I was tired of lazily door-dashing Thai food that always ended up lackluster and flavorless, so decided to try something off my "to try" list. Decided on Trio and it was a hit! The dishes were full of tofu and fresh veggies and the sauces super flavorful. Got the pad see ew and green curry. My partner uses green curry as his litmus test for Thai food and this passed the test with flying colors. We were both mad we hadn't been here yet, it will now be in the regular rotation.Ate too quickly to get pictures, but portion sizes were generous!Can dine in or takeout
September 30 · Kimberly MaddenWe ordered Laos style lettuce wraps, crabBeggars pouches, Stir fry beef over rice, Chicken over glass noodles.I enjoyed beggars pouches the most.Parking is challenging in that area.Service was very good.
April 18 · M LabadiIncredibly diverse menu that may read as confused but both their traditional Thai dishes and off beat takes (pastrami noodles anyone?) hit home every time! Plus they have uncommonly good desserts.
June 25 · Ryan JacksonFood was pretty good but there was a lot of rotten and moldy fruit in their display case which really turned us off. Will not be coming back.
