Eric SimpsonMay 17, 2012Had the spring rolls, soft shell crab, and the oysters. ALL 3 were tasty and amazing, and not too heavy or overly filling. Definitely coming back!
AmateurConciergeAugust 11, 2015Anglicized fun Thai food for the NYUers. Reasonably priced and pretty tasty but not particularly authentic. Chiang Mai fries are tasty but not at all fries. Skip the a watermelon slaw & weak cocktails
MischaDecember 22, 2015I don't think of this place as near authentic, but it serves a spectacular asian fusion dishes. The spiciness is thai-spicy so expect sweat and some tears 😭
Serious EatsSeptember 30, 2013A spruced-up neighborhood Thai spot with some unconventional twists and higher quality ingredients.
ᴡ ElliotApril 15, 2015Start with the kabocha fries, then the pad Thai (it's better than average, a lot lighter than other spots in the area).
Berrak KApril 25, 2016Lobster dumpling entree is a must try👍 also the duck entree is awesome! Definetely be back!
CarolineJanuary 21, 2016The food is delicious but better for delivery/takeout since the entire staff from the host to servers seem rude and stressed out/overworked/unhappy, and uninspired by the amazing menu.
Fantastic Thai food. Pad Thai with whatever you want is just great. Always full, though.
Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013The Thai Burger with cilantro-lime mayo and zippy green papaya sauerkraut is a delicious twist on a burger.
Each meal with Chef Hong is truly inspiring. You must say hello — look for a beautiful Thai woman in their open kitchen.
Shelby BoyerMay 1, 2015Everything is delicious but the fries are amazing!! Next time I'm trying the pad see ew. Because I'll definitely be back.
Public House WineAugust 14, 2014Memorable Thai with creative twists and great cocktails. The laid back vibe works for a date or a big group dinner.
Kristina KimMarch 13, 2017The appetizers are really good. If you want spicy then make sure you get the Thai spicy. Other levels are pretty mild.
Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017The food is absolutely delicious and top notch. Place sometimes is a bit crowded, noisy and subpar in maintenance.
Robin Taylor RothAugust 23, 2013Looks unprepossessing from the outside, but don't be deterred. The food is delicious & wholesome - and the wine list very good, indeed!
Jamie KMay 27, 2013Had the Grilled Surf and Turf Small Plate to start - it was absolutely delicious. Great presentation too.
Rumana SiddikyJanuary 4, 2013Crazy as it sounds, the Lamb “massaman” Roti Potpie is damn good. Even though it does just have a paratha on top!
Danielle DavisSeptember 3, 2014Loved the Thai "sweet potato fries" and the pad see ew was pretty yummy. Green curry has a kick!- Rumana SiddikyJanuary 4, 2013If they have the duck pad Thai special, get it. Crispy fried duck is a great touch and the noodles, delicious.
Cameron BlankMarch 20, 2015The green curry fried rice was amazing. The appetizer sampler is great for groups or as an entree.
Anthea PenaJune 6, 201299c oysters all night long. Blue Points come with drizzle of soy & fish oil, Thai peppers, lime. tiny salmon row & wisp of grapefruit
Theresa RoldanDecember 27, 2014The Kee Mao and hard thai iced tea were a good combo. Make a reservation on opentable to avoid any waiting.
Jessie CatanaJune 17, 2014Definitely get the surf and turf app for 2 and the pad Thai was really delicious as well.
Roberto AbdulMarch 29, 2015Red curry dish and Old School Pad Thai are excellent!!! Highly recommended. Reserve.
BlackboardEatsSeptember 13, 2012Thai Burger: Mouthwatering goodness. The burger is ground beef infused with lemongrass and topped with shredded papaya.
Sarah HelmApril 23, 2017Pad Thai was great! Comes with chili powder though and I hate spicy food so I'll just ask for no chili powder next time
EchoDAJuly 16, 2012Delicious Thai restaurant!!! More on the contemporary side of thai cuisine, the food is great and the cocktails too.
Amna Bin DhaherJanuary 2, 2015Do not miss on the Sweet Corn Chowder, Green Curry fried rice & authentic old school pad Thai!
MorganSeptember 25, 2015This restaurant brings a cute rustic feel and authentic Thai bites to the neighborhood.
Wejdan ✨December 12, 2016Pad Thai is delicious. Small portion made me wonder how small are their small dishes? In any case DON'T set at the bar you'll be forgotten. I probably won't come back.
Renae MasonJuly 23, 2015Interesting modern fusion updates on classic Thai food. I'm a fan. Wish the staff were a bit friendlier though.
Tiffany LangstonAugust 14, 2014Delicious Thai inspired cuisine. Make sure to get the Chang Mai fries
- Alyssa OOctober 3, 2015Spring rolls are great, green curry is good, skip the zucchini pad Thai - totally under seasoned
Lots of gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu, including a couple variations of Pad Thai.
Gilt City CuratorNovember 17, 2011While the Thai Burger was incredible, we have to recommend the veggie favorite, Baked Tofu in Banana Leaf. We wanted to give up meat for good.
All the food is authentic and delicious. Try the cooking class on the weekends!- SaritOctober 30, 2014Cool space, interesting menu but had the pad see ew and it was pretty much a bowl of noodles in sugar.
This is a great place. I can tell it will be successful. The curry fries, grilled chicken, & house-made sodas are excellent.
The papaya Pad Thai is amazing. You won't even miss the noodles!
