What a gem !!!
Truly !!
One of the most underrated Thai restaurant
The Star Dish: Scallion Pancakes (Fried Chive Cakes)

The Scallion Pancakes were truly 100/10! They were absolutely spectacular—crisp on the outside, bursting with chive flavor inside, and perfectly seasoned. If you go, this appetizer is non-negotiable; it's a crispy, flavorful sensation I’ve never tasted before.

🍽️ Main Dishes & Drink

The rest of the meal was perfectly executed and so well balanced:

Pad Kra Pow: Flavorful, savory, and spicy with aromatic basil, served beautifully with rice and a fried egg. A great version of this classic.

Red Curry: Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with the perfect blend of spice and coconut milk.

Thai Iced Tea: The perfect creamy, sweet, and refreshing cool-down drink.

Special shoutout to the wonderful, warm and welcoming staff .
I’ll come again and again !!

Went for the early bird special, but the advertised price of $16 was misleading because any protein costs an additional $2 to $3. The portions were small, and I actually left hungry and grabbed a slice of pizza afterward.

The food was okay, but everyone in my party ended up with bad stomach aches and felt sick the entire next day. The service also left a lot to be desired. The waitresses were pushy and seemed visibly annoyed with our small group, which made the experience feel unwelcoming.

Overall, between the upselling, small portions, mediocre food, and poor service, I won’t be returning.

BEWARE!!! They will overcharge you and think you wont notice. Woman at register includes tip in bill, please ask them on the spot to break down the price for you so that you are aware of this. Customers should be able to CHOOSE how much tip a server deserves. You can find better Thai food elsewhere with honest prices and kinder employees.

I stopped by a week ago with a friend. The $16 meal deal was alright, the portions were on the small side. What I didn't appreciate was that as more people came, the waitress sat them on either side of our table when there were other tables spaced around the restaurant. We were all squished like ants - no place to put bags or coats. Here's the part that I don't like - it seems like they automatically added a gratuity to the bill. The woman didn't give me a receipt, demanded $22 in cash as the total when I only ordered the $16 dinner, and even with taxes and fees it shouldn't be that expensive. That's more than a 30% tip! Then she had the audacity to ask me how much I wanted to give for tip AFTER I paid the $22. Sneaky, unacceptable, not worth it.

I’m never coming back here again. The food was mid and not as good as I expected. The service was slow, and the waitress didn’t even seem to know how to serve customers. Absolutely terrible service. The only thing I liked was the Thai iced tea. This place also feels like a scam — they add an automatic 18% gratuity and still ask for more tips. It shouldn’t be like this; tipping should be our choice. This is not good at all.

Don’t listen to advice from TikTok. The price is ok but the portions are tiny. The Thai iced tea is good. Also the service is slow and they add on 18% auto gratuity and they still ask for more tip. So yeaaaaaaah nah

“I went for the $16 special meal, which includes an appetizer and a main drink. I ordered the spring rolls, but the portion was very small — I only got two pieces. I also ordered the Pad Thai, but I ended up not liking it at all even though it was hyped on their menu. It even had a strange smell. The service was also slow and very unprofessional. I’m not coming back here again.”

There are so many great places in NYC to eat that I avoid places where I experience rude behavior as I did here today. Plenty of other good Thai food nearby. I won't be back.

very comfy space and kind staff! $16 three-course meal deal is nice - portions are perhaps a bit small but overall filling.

This is my go-to spot for Thai takeout! The Thai iced tea is absolutely amazing, and the curry puffs, pad see ew, and pad thai are all equally delicious. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favorite places! I visit them literally once a week. The food is incredible and the staff is very very kind!

The food feels like a home cooked meal. Always super fast if you eating in or doing takeout. Great price and comfortable option. Worth visiting if you are not a local, and a must if you live in the area this restaurant will become one of your favorite. ❤️

Absolutely disgusting. There were egg shells in my food that made me sick. Do not eat here.

First time here! We were presented with a warm welcome, and seated swiftly. Husband and I arrived during lunch time and got ourselves a dish and an appetizer; crab Rangoon, laab GAI, Thai fried rice (veggie), spicy noodle soup (chicken, thin rice noodle), and Thai tea with lime (forgot to take a picture 😩).

Tastes quite good and authentic. Even at an medium/mild spice level flavours are still there.
