The name itself is a small, deliberate pun that signals the kind of unpretentious, no-frills spot it is — rice and noodle dishes done straightforwardly rather than a chef-driven reinvention of Thai cuisine. A real 15%-off-first-online-order promo on the restaurant's own site is the kind of practical, current detail that separates an actively-maintained small business from one running on autopilot.
It's a dependable neighborhood option for Lakeview regulars rather than a destination worth crossing the city for, which is exactly the role it seems to be aiming for.
