Had an appointment across the street and looked for something close by, to keep things simple. Thaiverse was such a great surprise! We got there during lunchtime and took advantage of their lunch specials: SO WORTH IT! Flavorful, great portions and just a great place overall. Def recommend their curry puffs and crab rangoon. Their thai coffee was delicious. Absolutely going back.

Great food and dedicated servers in nicely decorated and comfortable space. Was able to accommodate our larger group easily with attention to detail and offering recommendations. Wonderful experience.
April 2025
Friendly service but not super attentive. Food was acceptable but not amazing. Table of 4- they brought out one person's entree a strangely long time ahead of everyone else. Got the job done in the end.
